Waco, TX – While large, stationary construction sites are highly visible, some of the most hazardous road work involves crews that are constantly on the move. Operations like line striping, pothole patching, and debris cleanup expose workers to unique risks on open roads. To address this, Regional Traffic Services is providing specialized safety solutions for these dynamic work zones, offering Waco crash truck rental units that serve as mobile shields for vulnerable crews.
"A stationary work zone has the benefit of extensive barriers. A mobile crew is far more exposed to live traffic," says Stan Navratil, CEO of Regional Traffic Services. "Our mission is to provide a moving shield that travels with them, creating a consistent zone of safety, foot by foot and mile by mile."
The Critical Role of the "Shadow Vehicle"
In mobile operations, a crash truck functions as a "shadow vehicle." It follows the work convoy at a strategic distance, creating a protective buffer between the workers ahead and approaching traffic. The truck's high-visibility lights and large arrow board act as an advanced warning, alerting drivers to slow down and move over long before they reach the work crew.

"The coordination for a mobile operation is complex," explains Navratil. "The driver of the crash truck must maintain a precise distance and speed with the crew ahead. It requires intense focus and reliable equipment. We provide expertly maintained trucks to ensure that the protective bubble never fails."
Supporting a Wide Range of Mobile Operations in Waco
The flexibility of the Waco crash truck rental service makes it ideal for the short-term, high-risk nature of mobile work. This includes a variety of essential maintenance tasks that keep the city's infrastructure in good repair.
Regional Traffic Services supports operations such as:

"Our clients don't just get a truck; they get a strategy," adds Stan Navratil. "We consult with them on the specific needs of their mobile operation to ensure the safety plan is sound. It's about being a true safety partner, not just a rental company."
