Driving a tow truck in Edison: the roads, the lots, the calls
Edison is about 20 minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on NJ Turnpike, Route 27 and Oak Tree Road and the town's own streets and lots.
One of the largest townships in the state, stretching from the Route 1 retail corridor and Menlo Park Mall to the Raritan River and Piscataway. Corporate campuses, Middlesex College, Oak Tree Road's Indian business district, dense apartment complexes, and tens of thousands of commuters on the Northeast Corridor. Every vehicle type imaginable, including the AWD and electric cars that need a flatbed.
Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily.

Exit 10 is Edison's; the I-287 connection and the Raritan toll plaza area back up daily.
Route 27
Cuts through the township from Metuchen to Highland Park; slow, parked-up, tows to local shops.
Oak Tree Road
The business district; double-parking, tight turns and constant roadside calls.
