What tow truck work looks like in Colonia, NJ
Colonia is a few minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Colonia Boulevard / New Dover Road, Garden State Parkway and Inman Avenue and the town's own streets and lots.
The leafy, residential northwest corner of Woodbridge Township along the Clark and Rahway borders: single-family homes on curving streets, Inman Avenue's small shopping plazas, and the Parkway running down its western edge. Family SUVs, commuter cars in driveways, and a lot of AWD vehicles that need a flatbed.
Almost entirely driveways; street parking is light. Plenty of room for a flatbed, but AWD SUVs and a lot of garages mean the dispatcher asks about clearance.
Colonia Boulevard / New Dover Road
Residential connectors with speed humps and tight turns for a flatbed.
Garden State Parkway
The Colonia stretch between Exits 131 and 135 has no exit of its own; breakdowns here wait on the shoulder for a truck coming from Linden via Clark.
Inman Avenue
Colonia's main road, through the shopping plazas to Rahway and Edison; jughandles and turning traffic.
St. Georges Avenue (Route 27)
The eastern edge shared with Rahway and Avenel; one of the busier surface roads for tows to local shops.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Nearest stations: Rahway and Avenel are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
Learn Colonia's streets on the job; the dispatcher routes every call.
