Truckers who may fear complications due to mechanical problems in the summer will soon have free on-demand assistance on their side powered by ONE20 and RoadsideMASTERS.com.

Utilizing an online platform accessed by drivers on their mobile devices, trucking industry application ONE20 and roadside assistance company RoadsideMASTERS.com have partnered to provide free aid to drivers who are currently part of ONE20’s online community.

According to a press release issued earlier today, the roadside program will launch on August 1^st of this year, and ONE20 members will see free Sliver Level service from RoadsideMASTERS.com

CEO and president of ONE20, Christian Schenk, reported in the press release that this upcoming membership offering is not only an added benefit for current users of the app, but also aids the trucking community as a whole.

"When working with partners, our goal is to work closely with organizations who see and support our vision. RoadsideMASTERS is a perfect example of a company working to help an underserved (sic) and often overlooked demographic," said Schenk. "We can now offer our members a benefit they might not otherwise be able to access and we're giving it to them for free. Breakdowns are expensive, and this program will help ONE20 members get back on the road as soon as possible."

ONE20 reports that programs for roadside assistance can cost a driver up to $700 a year, with drivers typically requesting tows twice a year. A five-mile tow can often cost a driver $500, not including costs for additional repairs.

Members with ONE20 will see free benefits including truck-safe navigation, truck and trailer towing, jump starts, tire repair and exclusive savings among other perks.

Jason Cohen, CEO and president of RoadsideMASTERS.com reported that the company’s new partner allows for both services to greatly enhance the lives and careers of drivers throughout the nation, especially in regards to finances.

"ONE20 is changing the game for professional truckers across the country. Their approach to providing tools and services on behalf of the driver is something we want to be part of," said Cohen. "Our partnership not only further solidifies ONE20 as a leader that is paving the way for change in a stale industry, it also has the potential to save ONE20 members up to $140 million on an annual basis."

Prior to the official launch in August, ONE20 reports that current users can pre-register for the upcoming program through the My ONE20 app.
