From Breakdowns to Breakthroughs RoadHelps App Delivers Instant Roadside Assistance Across America
United States, 9th Oct 2025 – RoadHelps has officially launched its groundbreaking mobile app bringing revolutionary roadside assistance to truck and car drivers through its newly launched platform. The platform connects stranded drivers to service providers in their area which shortens waiting periods and reduces unnecessary expenses. RoadHelps serves both drivers and mechanics through its fast and budget-friendly service platform which delivers transparent help during road travel remains one of the most annoying aspects for drivers who transport goods or travel to work assistance for all road breakdowns.
Solving an Industry-Wide Problem
The process of waiting for. The time spent by truckers at TA and Love’s stops reaches between 2 to 8 hours while regular drivers waste their time searching online and making multiple phone calls to repair shops. The current roadside assistance programs for roadside emergencies operate at a slow pace while requiring membership fees and charging excessive costs. Through its real-time service RoadHelps enables drivers to access qualified local service providers instantly through a single application tap.
How RoadHelps Works
The RoadHelps application enables drivers to request assistance right away when they encounter flat tires or dead batteries or engine problems. The system distributes service requests to nearby service providers who include mobile mechanics and towing companies and tire specialists. The system allows drivers to view real-time information about the selected provider including their profile details and service time and cost estimates. The application enables secure in-app payments which eliminate the need for cash or card information exchange during roadside assistance.
The platform gives power to both independent mechanics and small business owners.
The service through RoadHelps provides advantages to drivers while simultaneously giving power to independent mechanics and small business owners. Service providers who operate roadside assistance face challenges with customer visibility because they must spend money on advertising and maintain dispatch centers at truck stops. The platform gives service providers direct access to drivers who need emergency assistance without any marketing expenses or intermediary fees. The app takes a 10% commission from each finished job which lets service providers maintain higher earnings while attracting new customers.
Minimizing Downtime for Truck Drivers
Truck drivers lose money with each passing hour they spend waiting for repairs because time represents their main source of income. The developers of RoadHelps designed the system to prevent such losses. The app shortens wait times to minutes which helps drivers maintain their delivery schedules and decreases financial losses while giving them confidence when working under tight delivery constraints.
RoadHelps exist as a solution developed by someone who has personally experienced the difficulties of driving on the road. Mateus Chipa founded RoadHelps after spending nine years as a truck driver. His personal encounters with delayed repairs and high costs at the roadside motivated him to develop an improved solution. The long ten-hour delay in Las Vegas for a basic tire repair became the moment when Chipa decided to develop a better solution.
The application development process at RoadHelps focused on enabling driver control while providing fair business opportunities to small companies. The RoadHelps application enables all drivers including trucks and cars to get assistance through a single touch on their screen. The system sends service requests to nearby mechanics who can choose to respond quickly to the available work. The system enables drivers to regain control while providing them with lower costs and faster service. The system brings advantages to local providers because they receive more work without needing to spend money on Google advertisements or handle numerous phone calls.
A Mission to Keep Drivers Moving
The mission of RoadHelps extends beyond convenience because it provides accessible transparent and efficient roadside assistance to drivers. The company uses technological advancements to combine with practical knowledge to transform roadside assistance into a modern safe and supported driving experience. RoadHelps provides drivers with immediate roadside assistance that eliminates both prolonged waiting times and high service costs. RoadHelps provides drivers with assistance that remains accessible through their entire journey.

The Two Leading CBD Companies on the Danish Market – Raworganics and Wetality – Setting the Standard for Quality, Transparency, and Consumer Trust
Copenhagen – The Danish CBD market has experienced remarkable growth in recent years. Consumers’ increasing interest in natural health products and plant-based alternatives has paved the way for several serious players – yet two names stand out above the rest: Wetality and Raworganics.
Both companies are known for their uncompromising commitment to quality, documentation, and transparency. Still, there are clear differences in philosophy, production methods, and overall results – differences that make Wetality the number one player on the market today.
Wetality – Quality, Transparency, and Scientific Precision
Wetality is widely recognized as Denmark’s leading producer of CBD and other cannabinoid-based products. Their range includes everything from classic CBD oils to expertly designed formulations aimed at supporting both physical and mental balance.
At Wetality, quality is not a promise – it’s a process. Every drop of CBD oil results from carefully controlled cultivation, harvesting, and production. The hemp plants used are grown 100% organically in one of Europe’s most favorable climate regions for hemp. The selected seeds ensure plants rich in active cannabinoids, and the harvest is still carried out traditionally – with deep respect for nature, craftsmanship, and teamwork.
Once harvested, the hemp is processed in a GMP-certified facility (Good Manufacturing Practice), ensuring that every step meets pharmaceutical standards. This guarantees that consumers always receive a pure, safe, and well-documented product.
To further ensure transparency and reliability, each batch of Wetality products is tested by independent, European-accredited laboratories. The results are made public so customers can see exactly what they are purchasing – a practice that has earned Wetality a strong reputation for trustworthiness among both private consumers and professional therapists.
Yet Wetality’s approach goes beyond precision and control. Each product is expertly formulated, combining advanced cannabinoid science with premium natural ingredients. The goal is to create balanced products that work in harmony with the body’s own endocannabinoid system.
This blend of science, nature, and ethics has created a loyal customer base and outstanding satisfaction.
Customer Testimonial – Louise Granstrøm Aagaard, Trustpilot:
“I have tried several of Wetality’s oils, but No.07 Night is my lifesaver during times of overthinking and poor sleep. I also introduced it to my father, who after a cancer treatment struggled to sleep for hours each night. The first night with No.07 Night, he slept like a rock and hasn’t gone without it since.”
This testimonial is just one of many that show how Wetality products not only meet expectations – they truly make a difference in people’s lives.
Raworganics – A Strong Player Focused on Organic Values and Sustainability
Raworganics has in recent years established itself as one of the most visible players in the Danish CBD market. With roots in organic farming and sustainable production, the company has built a solid reputation centered on authenticity and environmental responsibility.
Their range of CBD oils, capsules, and cosmetic products is based on organically grown hemp from carefully selected European farms. The company places strong emphasis on eco-friendly production methods and minimizing the use of additives.
Raworganics is particularly known for its cold-pressed oils, which preserve the plant’s natural terpenes and full spectrum of cannabinoids. Many customers appreciate the clean taste and the company’s transparency regarding origin and production.
With a passion for sustainability and a mission to make CBD accessible to everyone, Raworganics has built a loyal customer base. The company maintains competitive pricing and appeals to consumers who value green ethics and simplicity.
Summary: Wetality Sets the Benchmark for CBD in Denmark
While both Wetality and Raworganics deliver high-quality, organic, and sustainable CBD products, it is clear that Wetality leads the way in terms of verified quality, innovation, and consumer safety.
Where Raworganics impresses with its down-to-earth and sustainable approach, Wetality takes it a step further – with GMP-certified production, third-party testing, and a strong foundation in both science and ethics. Their products represent a new standard of transparency and excellence in the CBD industry, where every detail – from seed to bottle – is carefully controlled.
Consumers respond with trust and loyalty, and testimonials like that of Louise Granstrøm Aagaard highlight what many already know:
Wetality is not just a CBD brand – it is a mark of quality.
