Roadside Assistance: Not Always on the Road

Did you know that most roadside assistance jobs don't even happen on the side of a dangerous highway?

It’s true. The majority of the time, soft services like lockouts, jump starts, fuel deliveries, and even tire changes are needed in a customer's driveway or a business parking lot. This is what we call Homeside Assistance—and it's changing the game for independent service providers.

Your Safety and Freedom Come First

Working with a traditional roadside company can mean being forced to take calls that are unsafe or simply not worth your time. With Run Roadside, you’re in control. You have the freedom to accept only the jobs that are safe and make financial sense for you.

Got a call that’s in a bad spot on the interstate? Don’t accept it.
Got a call that’s outside your normal coverage area? Ask for additional money at the time of dispatch!

This isn't just about making money; it's about being smart and safe.

Build Your Business, Your Way

At Run Roadside, your schedule is your own. Got to go to your son's t-ball game? No problem. Just switch the app to “Off Duty” and enjoy your time. When you’re ready to work again, switch it back to “On Duty.”

Trees and a chain-link fence are in the background. — Little players in blue jerseys eagerly watch the action from the sidelines during a T-ball game, as a parent takes a break from roadside assistance duties to enjoy the moment.
