A brand-new emergency support service has just gone live on the N3 freeway, promising to revolutionise roadside safety for truckers, motorists, and families alike.
Launched by Joey’s Never Back Down in partnership with 1Track, the N3 Emergency Support Service (N3ESS) is the first of its kind to offer comprehensive, boots-on-the-ground response along South Africa’s most vital freight corridor.
The service comes in response to growing safety concerns on the N3, a lifeline between Durban and Gauteng that’s long been plagued by hijackings, looting, and accident-related delays.
From emergency breakdown security to VIP-style Freeway Interactive Protection (FIP) escorts, the new service is geared towards protecting lives, cargo, and property.
Key Services Include:
- Emergency / Breakdown Security: Immediate on-site protection while help is on the way.
- Towing & Load Protection (GIT): No more sitting ducks — your cargo is covered and monitored.
- Anti-Looting & Cargo Escorts: Ideal for high-value loads through known hotspots.
- School Bus Protection: Safe passage for pupils along vulnerable rural stretches.
- FIP Family & VIP Escorts: Tailored for private vehicles needing safe passage through danger zones.

This initiative couldn’t come at a better time. With protest hotspots and criminal activity becoming more unpredictable, Joey’s Never Back Down and 1Track are stepping up to fill a serious gap in road safety.

“For too long, drivers have been left to fend for themselves when it all hits the fan,” said a spokesperson. “This service is built on the idea that no one should ever feel alone out there.”
This isn’t just another flashy launch, it’s a much-needed safety net for the men and women who keep this country moving. If it’s executed right, the N3ESS could become the gold standard for other major routes across Mzansi.
