I don't know where you get the idea that trucking companies don't take care of their equipment. That just doesn't make sense. Freight is given to a company based on there ability to deliver it on time safely. There are several ways this is tracked including CSA 2010. Every trucker and trucking company protects this very carefully because their livelyhood depends on it. There are always a few bad apples that make the news, but it is not widely spread. The major reason for roadside repairs is tire failure and contrary to popular opinion it is not old tires that are the leading cause of that. If you look at the tire pieces on the road most have nearly new tread. A tire is most often going to fail at nearly new due to a defect. If they make it past the first few weeks they are generally good. The only tire blowout I ever had on my truck was a week old steer tire.
