What actually happens when a truck goes down.
Follow a real recovery from the roadside to rolling again. This is exactly what OverhaulOS does, every day, across Africa.
The truck breaks down.
A driver is stranded on a lonely highway — engine trouble, a blown tyre, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest town. Every hour costs money, cargo and time.
The driver taps one button.
The driver opens OverhaulOS, taps Breakdown and picks the affected unit: truck, trailer or dolly. GPS pins the exact spot, even with no signal. Nobody has to phone around looking for a mechanic.
The controller confirms it.
Back at base, the fleet controller gets an instant alert on the live dashboard — which driver, which unit, which road — and approves the recovery in seconds.
The nearest mechanic is notified.
Every verified mechanic within 200 km whose specialty matches sees the job — first to accept wins, and their estimate is reserved from the company's prepaid balance.
Help is on the way.
The mechanic accepts and rolls out. The driver watches them approach live on the map, ETA counting down — no more wondering if anyone is actually coming.
Fixed on the spot.
The mechanic confirms arrival with the driver's 6-digit code, gets to work, and closes the job with a mandatory photo — the truck is rolling again before a traditional call-out would have answered the phone.
Job done. Invoice automated.
The invoice is generated automatically and draws down the company's prepaid balance; the mechanic's wallet is credited minus 5%. There is no month-end bill, because the money was reserved before the mechanic rolled out.
