For roadside help near White Pine, call (865) 606-6676 with the highway number, direction, and nearest exit if you are on the interstate. Include the vehicle type and whether it is clear of the traffic lanes.
White Pine is interstate work almost entirely. The I-81 and I-40 corridor runs past it and that is where nearly all of the calls come from.
Long-haul traffic means a different mix: vehicles that have been driven hard for hours, tire failures at speed, and drivers a long way from home who have no idea what is nearby.
How the roads run around White Pine
The interstate junction is the defining feature. I-81 comes down from the northeast and meets I-40, and that carries a heavy volume of through traffic in both directions.
Highway 25/70 runs locally and is the alternate. When the interstate is blocked at the junction, everything diverts onto it and that slows any approach.
A tire blew at highway speed. Is it safe to drive on the rim?
No. Driving on a flat destroys the wheel and can damage the brake and suspension parts behind it. Get off the road and stop, and we will come to you.
I am not from here and I do not know where I am.
Interstate number, direction of travel and the last exit you passed is enough. Your phone can also share your location, and that is the fastest option of all.
