Tow truck on the Route 1 corridor in Rahway, NJ: the jughandles, the Merck gates and the prison stretch

Jughandles collect rear-enders at every rush hour, and a car that has been hit rides a flatbed no matter what it was before. The driver winches it, photographs the damage for the adjuster and takes it to the body shop you name in Rahway, Linden or Woodbridge.

If it still moves, get it through the jughandle and onto the side road first; the tow is the same price and the loading is safer.

Employee lots full of commuter cars, delivery vans on East Lincoln Avenue and tractors queued at the gates. A dead battery in the lot is a jump at one flat price; a van across a dock is a medium-duty job; a tractor that will not restart in the queue is a heavy wrecker from the yard minutes away.

Fleets feeding the campus get a direct number and one monthly invoice.

Box trucks stalled at docks, sprinters blocking a yard gate, the occasional tractor with a blown tire on the approach. Medium and heavy-duty trucks move the vehicle out of the way first and deliver it second.

The employee cars in the warehouse lots are ordinary tows: front-wheel-drive on a wheel-lift, all-wheel-drive on a flatbed, to whatever shop the owner names.

The shoulder narrows beside the wall and the traffic does not slow down. Hazards on, out on the side away from the lanes, over the guardrail, and tell the dispatcher northbound or southbound. The truck comes in from the correct end with its lights on and parks to shield the car.

The Turnpike at Exit 12 is a few minutes east across the river. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
