Tow truck in Fords, Hopelawn and Keasbey, NJ: shopping strips, Route 440, and the warehouses that need the heavy truck

Shopping strips, the lots behind them and older streets with curb parking on both sides. A car that quits in a strip lot is a jump or a wheel-lift; a car boxed in on a side street is the wheel-lift walking it out. The route in is Route 9 or Ford Avenue from Route 440.

Small lots, short driveways and Route 9 traffic at the door. The rollback loads from the street where the driveway is too short, and the driver phones ahead so a second car can be moved.

A shop in Hopelawn, Fords or over the line in Perth Amboy is a short run and a small mileage line.

Distribution buildings, truck yards and the roads that feed Route 440 and the Turnpike. Sprinters and box trucks ride the medium wrecker with an underlift; tractors ride the heavy one.

Fleets run on an account with one monthly invoice, and employee cars that die at shift change ride the ordinary trucks.

I-287 ends at Route 440 on the Edison line and the traffic pours down past Keasbey and Fords toward the Outerbridge. Fast, wide and unforgiving of a flat, with grass off the ramps that takes cars in the rain.

The rollback's winch brings them back to the pavement. 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.
