What Claire Should Capture on Every Roadside Call

Context is the job

A roadside “won’t start” without a unit number, plate, or mile marker turns into a callback loop. Mobile techs lose time; fleets lose patience.

Intake checklist for mobile diesel

Identify the asset

  • Unit number
  • VIN or plate
  • Fleet / customer account if known

Locate the truck

  • Mile marker, yard, lot, or GPS pin
  • Safe pull-off / access notes
  • Driver contact on scene

Qualify the symptom

  • No-crank vs no-start vs running concern
  • Safety status (roadway hazard, cargo, temperature)
  • Parts or towing likelihood if the caller knows

Book the window

  • Preferred ETA vs earliest available tech
  • Whether this is contract work or cash call

How Claire helps

Claire is trained for fleet-ops language. She collects the fields above on the first call and attaches them to the job so the tech is not improvising at the shoulder.
