If you're looking for mobile truck repair in Rice Lake, Neuman Truck Service covers it from our base in Pine City. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A fully outfitted service truck fixes the problem at your yard, a customer's dock or a safe spot off US-53.

Rice Lake is the US-53 freeway town between Eau Claire and the north woods. Trucks pass through at highway speed on their way to Superior, Duluth and the Chippewa Valley, and plenty of them stop here to deliver. When something goes wrong at highway speed, it usually goes wrong in a hurry. Tell us what you heard, felt or saw on the dash. We'll stock the service truck for it. You get a price estimate before we take anything apart, and a 12-month warranty after.

Highways We Cover Around Rice Lake

  • US-53
  • WIS-48
  • US-8
  • WIS-25

US-53 runs as a four-lane freeway from Eau Claire north through Chetek and Rice Lake. It stays a freeway until Oak Grove, north of town. From there it continues as a four-lane expressway with only a handful of interchanges, through Haugen and Spooner to Superior. In Rice Lake, Exit 143 is the WIS-48 interchange. South on US-53, the freeway leads to Chippewa Falls and the I-94 junction at Eau Claire.

Barron, the county seat, sits a few miles away on US-8 and WIS-25. Between the freeway and those two-lane state highways, Barron County has a lot of truck traffic that a map doesn't show. Our semi truck repair service covers tractors broken down on any of them. The truck must be in a safe spot off the traffic lanes. Check 511wi.gov for road conditions before you head north.

Serving Rice Lake Fleets

Rice Lake is a commercial center for the rural country around it. The biggest name in town is Rice Lake Weighing Systems, a multinational manufacturer of industrial scales. The city also has health care and retail, and a UW-Eau Claire campus and Northwood Technical College serve the region. In Barron, Jennie-O Turkey Store operates a processing facility. The farm country around Rice Lake keeps feed and ag trucks moving on the county roads.

Freeway miles and loaded trailers are hard on driveline parts. A vibration that starts small at highway speed can be a worn U-joint, a failing carrier bearing or a driveshaft missing a balance weight. If you ignore it, the shaft can drop onto the pavement. Our driveline repair service handles those on-site. Ag and refrigerated trailers also need regular trailer repair on lights, landing gear, suspension and the 7-way plug. Trucks running for food processors need their DOT inspections current.

Winter on the US-53 Freeway

Freeway breakdowns are a different problem in winter. Road salt and slush get into every trailer light, ABS sensor connector and 7-way plug. The corrosion appears as flickering marker lights, ABS warning lamps and brake problems that come and go. Air dryers that weren't serviced in the fall let water into the system, and it freezes in valves and lines on the coldest mornings.

Barron County's highway department runs a night-time winter patrol from 8:30 PM to 6:30 AM to keep county roads passable. Its highway department page covers permits for oversize loads. Spring brings WisDOT's Class II road and posted road restrictions as frost leaves the ground. Heavy haulers on state highways need to watch the dates.

How Much Does Mobile Truck Repair Cost in Rice Lake?

The cost of a mobile repair depends on parts, special equipment, diagnostic time and the time of day. Travel counts on every call too. A good description on the phone cuts both diagnostic time and return trips.

Before any work starts, you get an estimate so you know the expected cost. Every repair and maintenance job carries a 12-month warranty, and you can pay by credit or debit card on-site.

About Rice Lake, WI

Rice Lake is a city of 9,040 people (2020 census) in Barron County, northwestern Wisconsin. It sits on the Red Cedar River and covers just under 10 square miles. It is a commercial and tourist center for the surrounding rural area.

The lumber company Knapp, Stout and Co. platted the town in 1870. Rice Lake incorporated as a city in 1887 and grew from a logging camp into a regional hub. Barron won the county seat over Rice Lake in the early days, which is why the county offices sit a few miles away.
