When a truck goes down, the driver searches a breakdown directory. These are the established directories and apps in the US market, with what each one publishes about coverage and cost — sourced and dated, no rankings.
Disclosure: Repairius publishes this page and Repairius is our own product. This list is not a ranking — entries appear in no particular order of quality, and we assign no ratings.
How we researched: every price and feature below comes from the vendor’s own website with the date we checked it and a link to the source. Where a vendor publishes no price, we say so — unpublished means unknown, not free. Confirm details directly with each vendor before buying.

Repairius combines shop management — work orders, estimates, invoices, inspections and customer communication — with a free basic business listing and website that can receive booking requests. Unlimited users on every plan, no per-technician fees.
Pricing: Pro $99.99/month (first location included); Business $179.99/month adds fleet accounts, technician commissions and marketing campaigns. 14-day trial, card required.
Limitations: newer platform; directory inquiries are not guaranteed; heavy-duty labor data and dealer DMS features are not claimed.
It depends on coverage where you run and how fast you can reach a live provider. NTTS, TruckDown and Find Truck Service are the established national directories; Trucker Path adds an app-based approach. We publish Repairius, which also lists breakdown providers, so we do not rank directories.
The major directories are free to search for drivers — they earn from provider listings and advertising. NTTS publishes provider advertising at $314–$1,799 (term unspecified on the page we reviewed). Providers should ask each directory what a listing costs and what it includes.
Each directory has its own listing or advertising process — see the vendor source links on this page. On Repairius, a shop can claim a free basic listing and website, with paid plans adding shop management tools and booking requests.
Confirm the provider actually covers your location and vehicle class, get the service call rate and estimated arrival in writing (text is fine), and ask about payment methods before work starts. A directory listing is a starting point, not a guarantee.
