Professional experience
-
Sales manager at a truck roadside assistance company (0.5 years).

About me
My name is Alexander Meller; I am managing director of MT onroad. In daily work I find that each breakdown has its own challenges – whether in tyre service or towing. The key is to quickly understand the situation to find the right solution.
With our blog I want to share these practical experiences: we show what scenarios are possible, how drivers or haulage companies can best prepare for them and how we, as a partner, can support efficiently.
