Something feels wrong with the truck.Start here, not on a forum.

Tell Riggo your truck and what you're seeing, hearing or smelling. You get the same questions a good shop would ask, in order, so you know whether to keep rolling, pull over, or call for service.

How it works

  • Save your truck once — year, make and model, or decode it from the VIN.
  • Describe the symptom in your own words: a warning lamp, a noise, air loss, a regen that won't finish, a tire you're worried about.
  • Riggo asks the narrowing questions first — which tire, which axle, when it happens — instead of guessing.
  • You get plain steps, and the safety call comes before anything else.

Built around real trucks

For saved Freightliner Cascadia trucks, Riggo draws on model-specific background covering the dash and telltales, DEF and regen behavior, brakes and air systems, steering, transmissions, fifth wheel and trailer hookup, and emergency procedures.

Where a driver-training clip explains it better than text, Riggo shows up to three relevant videos from its training library alongside the answer.

Common things drivers bring to Riggo

  • Check engine or DEF lamps, derate warnings and regens that won't complete.
  • Air leaks, brakes dragging, or a trailer that won't release.
  • Tire pressure, wear and blowout questions, including which tire is which.
  • Lights, batteries and no-start mornings.
  • Trailer problems: lights, landing gear, doors, reefer complaints.

Find a shop when you need one

When it's a shop job, Riggo's map shows truck and trailer repair, tire service and truck stops around you at whatever distance you set, so you can call ahead before you limp anywhere.

Riggo Mechanic is advisory guidance, not a diagnosis or a repair authorization. Safety and DOT requirements always come first: if the truck isn't safe to operate, stop and get qualified service.
