Our towing company on Bayway and the refinery corridor, Elizabeth, NJ: tankers, commuters, the Goethals approach and Exit 13

The corridor between the Circle and the refinery gates carries tankers, flatbeds and box trucks all day. A steer tire, a dead battery or a rig that will not build air is a heavy-duty call, and the truck comes out of Linden in minutes. Fleet operators here get a rate sheet, a direct line and one invoice a month.

Pickups and vans that sat through a shift and will not start, and the occasional lockout at a gate. Our driver waits where security asks and brings the jump pack first.

If the battery is done, the tow to a Linden or Elizabeth garage is added on the spot.

The jughandles and merges around the Circle stall cars in the lane with nowhere to pull off. If it rolls, get to the shoulder or a lot entrance on Bayway Avenue; if it does not, hazards on and wait on the sidewalk side. Our truck comes in with the light bar on and blocks the lane while it loads.

The ramps between Routes 1 & 9, the Turnpike and the bridge are quick and tight, and a car that quits on the New Jersey side of the approach is a direct dispatch for us. A slide onto the ramp grass is a winch-out first. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
