Heavy duty towing in Elizabeth, NJ: commercial trucks, fleet vans and buses recovered at The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA, on Routes 1 & 9 and in yards, 10 minutes from Linden dispatch
A fleet van with a dead starter, a box truck with a blown tire on Routes 1 & 9, a tractor that lost air in a yard in Elmora. Medium and heavy duty response from the middle of the state's busiest freight corridor, a few minutes out, 24 hours a day.
Heavy duty towing in Elizabeth, NJ: why drivers call The NJ Towing Service first, 10 minutes from Linden
In Elizabeth, heavy duty towing is the truck rated for the weight, medium duty up to about 26,000 pounds and heavy duty above it, dispatched from Linden in a few minutes to Routes 1 & 9, a yard or a dock, quoted flat from the GVWR, the load and the condition of the vehicle before it rolls.
Linden is a few minutes from Port Newark–Elizabeth, the Turnpike's Exits 12 and 13, the Bayway and Tremley Point industrial areas and the warehouse belt through Carteret, Avenel and Edison. Commercial vehicles break down in that corridor constantly, and Elizabeth is a few minutes from the yard by Routes 1 & 9. When a fleet manager calls about a unit down at The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA or on the shoulder, the dispatcher asks three things: the GVWR, whether it is loaded, and whether it rolls and steers. That sets the truck and the quote for Elizabeth, which you get before we roll.
The largest city in Union County and the fourth largest in the state: dense row-house and apartment blocks around Broad Street and Elmora, the port and the Turnpike on the east, Newark Airport on the north border. Street parking is tight everywhere except the outlets; taxis, rideshares, port trucks and airport traffic share narrow one-way streets. The commercial traffic in that description is what our heavy duty trucks are sized for in Elizabeth, and where it can pull over is what the dispatcher plans around.
Up to 26,000 pounds: the medium-duty work in Elizabeth
Street parking is tight everywhere except the outlets; taxis, rideshares, port trucks and airport traffic share narrow one-way streets. The medium-duty side of that is cutaway and box trucks to about 26,000 pounds, fleet vans of every make, step vans, small buses and contractor trucks with trailers, and they break down in Elizabeth the way cars do: a starter, a tire on Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora), a transmission at the dock. The dispatcher needs the GVWR from the door sticker and whether the unit is carrying anything.
Above 26,000 pounds: heavy duty response to Elizabeth
Heavy duty in Elizabeth is the loaded straight truck near NJ Turnpike Exit 13, the bobtail or the tractor-trailer on Routes 1 & 9, the dump truck and the roll-off from the job sites, the coach from the bus yard. Blown steer tires, air-system faults and dead starters are what stops them near Port Newark–Elizabeth marine terminal. Tell the dispatcher whether the trailer is loaded and whether it moves with the tractor; that sets the truck and the number.
Commercial roadside that avoids the tow in Elizabeth
The cheapest commercial call is the one that ends without a hook. Jump packs sized for a dual-battery diesel, a tire change with the spare off the rack, a fitting tightened on an air line: each puts a truck back on its route through Elizabeth for a fraction of a tow. When the roadside fix does not hold, the heavy truck comes from the same call, with no second dispatch fee.

Your dispatcher gets a direct line, we keep your yard addresses and preferred shops on file, and you get one monthly invoice itemized by unit number. Net terms for established accounts.

Call (908) 444-0129All towing in ElizabethHow a heavy duty tow in Elizabeth is dispatched: weight, load, rolls, destination, quote
The dispatcher takes the location in Elizabeth, the GVWR, whether the vehicle is loaded, whether it rolls and steers, and the destination; that sets the truck and a flat quote; the truck rolls from Linden and the driver calls the fleet contact before he arrives.
Step one: where the vehicle is in Elizabeth
A heavy truck needs room, so the dispatcher wants the spot: Routes 1 & 9 with the direction and the nearest exit toward NJ Turnpike Exit 13, a yard in Elmora with the gate, the dock at The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA and whether the rig can be reached without moving other units. Low overhangs and tight docks are worth mentioning before the truck leaves Linden.
Step two: the weight, and what is on it
The GVWR is on the sticker inside the driver's door; read it to the dispatcher. Then say whether the unit is loaded and with roughly what, and give the unit number if you are on account. Our trucks are rated for specific weights, and the number decides which one heads for The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA or wherever in Elizabeth the unit is.
Step three: what the truck is doing
A truck that rolls and steers hooks in minutes at The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA or on the Routes 1 & 9 shoulder. One with locked brakes from an air fault, a seized axle or a bent steer needs a different rigging. Say what it is doing and the driver arrives set up for it.
Step four: where it goes, and the one total
Say where the unit should go: your own shop, a dealer along Routes 1 & 9, the yard in Elmora, or the closest heavy repair facility. The hook fee for the rated truck plus the mileage is read back as one total before the truck moves. On account, it goes to the monthly invoice.
Step five: hook, tow, drop, documentation
The driver calls the contact before he arrives, hooks the vehicle at The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA or wherever it is down, and delivers it to the destination. You get an itemized receipt with the Elizabeth pickup, the destination, the mileage and the unit number for your records and your insurer.
To get a quote for heavy duty towing in Elizabeth, the dispatcher needs only where the car is, the nearest cross street and what the car is.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe first hour of a heavy duty towing call in Elizabeth: the call, the quote, the drive from Linden and the delivery
From Elizabeth the whole heavy duty towing call runs in three parts: a three-minute phone call with a quoted price, about 10 minutes while the truck drives in from Linden via NJ Turnpike Exit 13, and fifteen to twenty minutes on scene to load, strap and photograph the car before it leaves for your destination.
Nobody who calls us from Elizabeth has done this before, or does it often. Here is the whole thing in order, so the hour is predictable.
Step one, from Elizabeth: the call and the four questions
Someone picks up (908) 444-0129 around the clock: no menu, no callback queue, no hold music. You are asked the same four things every caller is asked: where the car is (road, direction, nearest cross street or exit, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 13, or the lot name), what it is, what went wrong, and where you want it taken. If you are not sure exactly where you are in Elizabeth, read a mile marker, a shop sign or the last exit you passed.
Minutes one to three: the price and the dispatch
Three facts (where the car is in Elizabeth, what it is and where it is going) are enough for one exact number. For a tow that number is the hook fee plus mileage to your address, and it does not move when the driver arrives. Say yes and a truck is assigned while you are on the line, with an arrival window built from its real position rather than a promise. No card is charged until the work is done.
The drive from Linden to Elizabeth: about 10 minutes
The truck comes in on NJ Turnpike and Routes 1 & 9 and uses NJ Turnpike Exit 13. Off-peak it is a few minutes; in a storm the dispatcher tells you the honest number. The driver calls when he is a few minutes out so you know which truck is yours and can point out the car. Take a photo of the car where it sits and note the nearest sign or cross street; it helps the driver find you and it helps later if an insurer asks.
Loading the car in Elizabeth: what the fifteen to twenty minutes look like
The driver confirms your name and the destination first, then photographs the car before anything is touched. He positions the truck for the street rather than for the car: a shoulder on Routes 1 & 9, a driveway, a lot or a deck each call for a different setup. Loading, strapping and a second set of photos take fifteen to twenty minutes. If the shop is closed when the car arrives, the key is left as the shop instructed. Most of the time you can ride in the cab; say so when you call.
Afterward: the itemized receipt and the follow-up
An itemized receipt arrives by text or email showing the hook fee, the mileage and both addresses: exactly what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan wants to see. Keep the receipt with the car's paperwork; roadside plans and some insurers reimburse it. Everything else we do in Elizabeth is on the Elizabeth towing page.
Three minutes on the phone, about 10 minutes on the road. Start the clock: call (908) 444-0129.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyHeavy duty towing on NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9, Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora) and I-78: the roads we run to reach Elizabeth
Our route from Linden to Elizabeth runs NJ Turnpike, Routes 1 & 9 and Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora), coming off at NJ Turnpike Exit 13, NJ Turnpike Exit 13A and Garden State Parkway Exit 138 (Kenilworth border), and heavy duty towing on any of those roads is a direct dispatch; on the Turnpike and Parkway shoulders the Authority's authorized garage brings the car off the highway and we take it from the exit.
These are the roads an Elizabeth call for heavy duty towing happens on, in the order a driver from Linden meets them. Give the dispatcher the road, your direction and the nearest exit or cross street.
Heavy duty towing after a breakdown on NJ Turnpike near Elizabeth: how the handoff works
Exits 13 and 13A serve the city; the 13A ramps to the port and IKEA back up daily and the shoulder is narrow. 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.
Routes 1 & 9 through Elizabeth: heavy duty towing on the road and off it
The main artery through the city past the airport and the port entrances; heavy truck traffic and constant rear-end collisions at the lights. On Routes 1 & 9 a blown steer tire or an air fault is often a roadside fix, not a tow; tell the dispatcher what the truck is doing.
Heavy duty towing on Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora) in Elizabeth
Runs from Linden through the Elmora section toward Newark; tight curbside parking and buses. On Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora) a blown steer tire or an air fault is often a roadside fix, not a tow; tell the dispatcher what the truck is doing.
I-78 through Elizabeth: heavy duty towing on the road and off it
Passes the northern edge of the city near the airport with the Turnpike interchange; breakdowns in the express/local split. On I-78 a blown steer tire or an air fault is often a roadside fix, not a tow; tell the dispatcher what the truck is doing.
North Avenue / Broad Street through Elizabeth: heavy duty towing on the road and off it
Downtown grid around the train station; one-way streets and double parking make truck positioning tricky. Heavy trucks need room to stage on North Avenue / Broad Street; if the shoulder is narrow the driver plans a pull-forward or a lane hold with police.
Elizabeth by exit number
Our drivers reach Elizabeth by NJ Turnpike Exit 13, NJ Turnpike Exit 13A and Garden State Parkway Exit 138 (Kenilworth border). On the highway itself, the exit number and your direction are the first things the dispatcher needs. On the express lanes of the Turnpike and Parkway, where there is no exit to reach, the Authority's garage brings the car off and we take over at the exit.
If you are on the side of Routes 1 & 9 or any road near Elizabeth: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in ElizabethThe Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA, Port Newark–Elizabeth marine terminal and Newark Liberty International Airport (north border) and Elizabeth station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor): the Elizabeth spots that call for heavy duty towing most
The common Elizabeth pickup points for heavy duty towing are The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA, Port Newark–Elizabeth marine terminal, Newark Liberty International Airport (north border), Trinitas Regional Medical Center and Broad Street downtown and the Union County courthouse and Elizabeth station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and North Elizabeth station (Northeast Corridor); a truck or technician reaches any of them in a few minutes.
The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA: heavy duty towing response
Fleet vans and box trucks serving The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA break down at the dock and in the lot. Say the gate or the lot section and whether a heavy truck can stage there; we reach The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA in a few minutes from Linden.
Port Newark–Elizabeth marine terminal: heavy duty towing response
Deliveries to Port Newark–Elizabeth marine terminal in Elizabeth do not wait for a tow. Fleet accounts get a direct line and the driver calls the contact before he arrives.
Heavy duty towing when the car stops at Newark Liberty International Airport (north border)
A dead starter or a dual-battery diesel that will not turn over at Newark Liberty International Airport (north border) is a heavy-duty jump first and a tow only if the truck needs a shop. Quoted flat either way.
Heavy duty towing at Trinitas Regional Medical Center
Trucks that go down at Trinitas Regional Medical Center are usually in a dock or a loading area with other units around them. Tell the dispatcher what has to move and where the rated truck can stage; the plan is made before it leaves Linden.
Heavy duty towing at Broad Street downtown and the Union County courthouse
Fleet vans and box trucks serving Broad Street downtown and the Union County courthouse break down at the dock and in the lot. Say the gate or the lot section and whether a heavy truck can stage there; we reach Broad Street downtown and the Union County courthouse in a few minutes from Linden.
Elizabeth Seaport and the Elizabethport waterfront: heavy duty towing response
Trucks that go down at Elizabeth Seaport and the Elizabethport waterfront are usually in a dock or a loading area with other units around them. Tell the dispatcher what has to move and where the rated truck can stage; the plan is made before it leaves Linden.
The station lots at Elizabeth station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and North Elizabeth station (Northeast Corridor): heavy duty towing for commuters
Buses working the lots at Elizabeth station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and North Elizabeth station (Northeast Corridor) break down like any diesel: starters, air, tires. Passengers off, then a heavy-duty jump start if that is all it needs, and the rated truck from the same call to the yard or the shop if it is not.
Stuck at The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA or another of these places? Give the name and the lot section, and the truck or the technician heads out.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in ElizabethCommercial vehicles we tow in Elizabeth
Elizabeth heavy duty work runs from the fleet van that quit in Elmora to the loaded tractor-trailer on the shoulder of Routes 1 & 9, with box trucks, cutaways, landscaping rigs, school and shuttle buses, dump trucks and roll-offs in between, each towed by a truck rated for its weight.
The box truck that stopped on Routes 1 & 9
The most common Elizabeth commercial tow. Blown tires, dead starters, transmissions that will not engage. Say the GVWR and whether it is loaded; the medium-duty truck reaches you and the load goes to the shop or your yard.
Fleet vans on the Elizabeth routes
Fleet vans serving The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA and the Elizabeth routes break down like cars but weigh more. A rated truck, a flat quote and a call to the fleet contact before the driver arrives.
Contractor rigs down in Elmora
The largest city in Union County and the fourth largest in the state: dense row-house and apartment blocks around Broad Street and Elmora, the port and the Turnpike on the east, Newark Airport on the north border. The landscapers and contractors who work those streets run pickups with loaded trailers, and when one quits the first question is whether the trailer comes too or stays on the site. A loaded trailer changes which truck we send to Elizabeth.
Shuttle and school buses
Passengers off first, then the tow. Air-system faults and dead starters are the usual calls. Bus yards in and around Elizabeth get account service with one monthly invoice.
Heavy duty on the Elizabeth truck routes
The heaviest work in Elizabeth: a loaded dump truck, a roll-off with a full container, a tractor bobtail or hauling. Weight, load and whether the trailer moves with the tractor are the three things the quote is built on, and the heavy truck leaves Linden rated for the answer.
The commercial calls that end without a tow
A diesel that will not crank at the dock at The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA, a blown tire on Routes 1 & 9 with a spare on the rack, a small air leak: each is a roadside fix that keeps the unit on its Elizabeth route. If the fix does not hold, the rated truck is sent from the same call with no second dispatch fee.
However the car ended up stopped in Elizabeth, the same number sends the truck or the technician the job needs.
Call (908) 444-0129Heavy duty towing explainedWhat heavy duty towing costs in Elizabeth, how the price is built, and why it is quoted before a truck leaves Linden
The cost of heavy duty towing from Elizabeth is set by the truck the GVWR and the load call for, plus the miles to your shop or yard, given as a single flat quote on the call; there is no fuel or night surcharge, and fleets on account are invoiced monthly on net terms.
Hook plus mileage for the rated truck from Elizabeth
The hook fee depends on the truck the job needs, which depends on the GVWR and the load. Mileage is the distance from the Elizabeth pickup to your shop or yard. The dispatcher quotes one total before the truck leaves Linden. Give the weight and the load and the number is exact.
No surcharges on a commercial tow in Elizabeth
No fuel surcharge. No after-hours or holiday surcharge. No fee for a passenger driver in the cab. No storage, because the vehicle goes to your shop or your yard in Elizabeth. If a driver ever asks for a different number than dispatch quoted, call dispatch from the scene.
Fleet accounts and net terms
An established fleet account is billed monthly on net terms, one invoice, every unit and every pickup in Elizabeth itemized with the service and the driver. Without an account, the driver takes cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash on Routes 1 & 9 or at the yard, and the receipt is itemized for your insurer.
The reason this page has no heavy duty towing price table for Elizabeth
Prices depend on the truck the job needs and the distance to where you want the car, and both are known in thirty seconds on the phone. That is why the website says "quoted first" instead of printing a number that would be wrong for half of Elizabeth.

Mostly street parking and small driveways in the residential wards, with big open lots at the outlets, IKEA and the port. Downtown has a few decks; expect to move a car to the entrance before loading. The driver's first question is where the car is sitting, because the approach differs by street.
Heavy duty towing in Midtown / Broad Street
Calls from Midtown / Broad Street are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Elizabeth. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Midtown / Broad Street and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Bayway, Elizabeth: heavy duty towing response
In Bayway the approach depends on the street: a Bayway driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Bayway. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Bayway as everywhere in Elizabeth.
North Elizabeth, Elizabeth: heavy duty towing response
North Elizabeth gets the same response as the rest of Elizabeth: a dispatcher who quotes heavy duty towing on the call, a truck from Linden in a few minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out.

Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWho calls for heavy duty towing in Elizabeth: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Routes 1 & 9
Heavy duty towing in Elizabeth serves roughly 137,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Elizabeth station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor), families in the residential streets, businesses near The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA, and drivers who only know Elizabeth as an exit on Routes 1 & 9.
The largest city in Union County and the fourth largest in the state: dense row-house and apartment blocks around Broad Street and Elmora, the port and the Turnpike on the east, Newark Airport on the north border. Street parking is tight everywhere except the outlets; taxis, rideshares, port trucks and airport traffic share narrow one-way streets. That mix shapes the heavy duty towing calls we get from Elizabeth.
The commuter's car in Elizabeth: Elizabeth station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and the roads to it
The lot at Elizabeth station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) is where Elizabeth batteries die: a car sits ten hours, the lights were left on, and at 7 p.m. it is dark and cold. A tow to the shop from the lot or the driveway is quoted before the truck leaves; if a jump or a tire would do instead, the dispatcher says so. Commuters need one thing above all: a real arrival time, and they get one.
Families in the residential streets of Elizabeth
Family calls come from driveways and school lots: the minivan that will not start before pickup, the second car that sat too long, the teenager's first flat. Mostly street parking and small driveways in the residential wards, with big open lots at the outlets, IKEA and the port. Downtown has a few decks; expect to move a car to the entrance before loading. The truck is set up for the driveway before it leaves Linden. Kids and pets ride with you in the cab, not in the towed car.
Work vans, pickups and fleets around The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in Elizabeth call for work vehicles that make money by moving. We quote the job, give the real arrival window and get the vehicle to the shop or the yard. Repeat callers are welcome to ask for an account so the paperwork is one email a month. Details on towing for Elizabeth businesses.
Passing through Elizabeth on Routes 1 & 9 when the car quit
Elizabeth sits on Routes 1 & 9, which means strangers break down here every day. Our dispatcher knows the road by exit and by landmark, and the truck is set up for a shoulder pickup: lights, cones, and a fast load. Where the car goes is your choice: a shop in Elizabeth, your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area.
Whoever you are and whatever you drive in Elizabeth, the call is the same: (908) 444-0129, 24 hours a day.
Call (908) 444-0129Heavy duty towing explainedHow the season changes heavy duty towing in Elizabeth: what breaks on Routes 1 & 9 and Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora) in January, April, July and October
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of heavy duty towing call from Elizabeth: ice and weak batteries, then potholes, then heat and tires, then wet leaves and deer at dusk; the 24-hour dispatch is the same all year. Elizabethport and the streets near the Arthur Kill flood in heavy rain and nor'easters; Route 1 & 9 underpasses pond after storms.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Elizabeth for a few winters knows what the calendar does to the calls. The notes below are the pattern, so you know what to expect from heavy duty towing in each season and what to do before you call.
Winter in Elizabeth: what freezes, what slides and what will not start
Winter heavy-duty calls are gelled diesels, frozen air lines and box trucks that jackknifed on a ramp. In Elizabeth the hills and the shaded side streets ice first; say whether the car is on a slope so the driver brings the right rigging.
Pothole season in Elizabeth: March and April on Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora)
Spring is when frost heave breaks up truck routes and a loaded truck finds the soft shoulder. Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora) and the side streets off it break up every March; a car that hit a hole and now vibrates or pulls should not be driven to the shop.
Summer heavy duty towing in Elizabeth: heat, traffic and holiday weekends
Summer heat kills truck batteries and tires under load; a heavy wrecker reaches the truck with air and tools. Summer in Elizabeth also fills the lots at The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA, and a car that sat in the sun all afternoon on a weak battery does not start at closing time; the technician carries a jump pack and checks the coolant, and the flatbed is sent from the same call if the fix will not hold.
Heavy duty towing in Elizabeth from October to December
Fall storms flood the low industrial roads; a truck that stalled in water is recovered, not restarted. Deer cross Route 27 (Newark Avenue / Elmora) and the quieter roads of Elizabeth around Elmora at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Elizabeth with a body-shop destination and photos for the insurer, and the car should not be driven if the radiator or a headlight is broken.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Elizabeth. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.

Call nowUnion County towingWhat Elizabeth drivers want to know about heavy duty towing, price and where the car goes
The questions below cover arrival time in Elizabeth, the price of heavy duty towing, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
Will you tow a box truck with freight aboard in Elizabeth?
Yes, within the rating of the truck we send. Tell the dispatcher the GVWR and the load so the right truck comes to The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA or wherever the unit is the first time.
How fast can a heavy duty truck reach Elizabeth?
A few minutes to most of Elizabeth, longer if the heavy truck is already on a job. The dispatcher gives you the real window once he knows where on Routes 1 & 9 or which yard the unit is in.
Can you get a truck running in Elizabeth without towing it?
Yes, and it is often the cheaper answer. Heavy-duty jumps, tire changes and small air-system repairs get the unit moving in Elizabeth; the tow is dispatched from the same call only if they fail.
Bobtail or with the trailer: which can you tow?
Yes, either way. The two facts that set the truck and the price are whether the trailer is loaded and whether it travels with the tractor or stays where it is in Elizabeth.
Do you offer net terms for fleets in Elizabeth?
Yes, once the account is established. Fleets based in Elizabeth get one invoice a month by unit number, a direct line for their dispatcher, and their yard addresses and shops on file.
Can you tow a bus from a lot near The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA?
Yes. Passengers off before anything else; then a heavy-duty jump or air fix if that is all it needs, or the rated truck to the yard. Say where at The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA the bus is and how much room there is.
What should a fleet manager have ready when calling about Elizabeth?
Location and direction, GVWR off the door sticker, whether it is loaded, whether it rolls and steers, the destination and your unit number if you are on account.
What does a commercial tow from Elizabeth cost?
Hook plus mileage for the truck the weight requires, quoted flat on the call from the GVWR, the load and the destination in or beyond Elizabeth. No fuel or after-hours surcharges.
Do you tow sprinter and Transit vans in Elizabeth?
Yes. Sprinters, Transits and ProMasters are medium duty, too heavy for a car truck. A rated truck comes to Elizabeth, the quote is flat, and the driver calls your contact first.
The unit is boxed in at a dock. Is that a problem?
Usually yes. Give the gate at The Mills at Jersey Gardens outlets and the Elizabeth IKEA or wherever the dock is, the height of any overhang and whether other units have to move first. The dispatcher plans the approach to the Elizabeth dock before the truck leaves Linden.
Question not here? The dispatcher answers it in one sentence and quotes the job in the next.
