Trucks heading to and from the border at Komatipoort break down on the long climbs, and the escarpment section west of town, near Schoemanskloof and Montrose, can be steep and winding. Holiday traffic toward the Kruger National Park, Hazyview and White River brings caravans, boat trailers and motorbikes. Tourist cars break down on the R40, and 4x4s need recovery on the mountain tracks near Kaapschehoop and the Long Tom Pass toward Lydenburg. Winter mist on the escarpment and heavy summer rain with thunderstorms make passes slippery. Requests come from tourists, citrus and timber farms, freight fleets and townspeople.

- Caravan, boat and bike owners: a car and caravan combination recovered and moved after a crash on a holiday route
- Motorists and families: a damaged family car moved from a tow yard to the insurer's approved panel beater
