What tow truck work looks like in Essex Fells, NJ
Essex Fells is about 40 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Oak Lane, Roseland Avenue and Fells Road / Devon Road and the town's own streets and lots.
A tiny residential borough of winding roads, large lots and no commercial district at all. Luxury cars and family SUVs in long private driveways; the calls are driveway dead batteries and winter slide-offs on the curves.
Private driveways only, many gated or curved. The flatbed stays on the road and winches.
Oak Lane
Winds through the middle of the borough; narrow, tree-lined and nowhere to pull off, so the truck blocks the lane while it loads.
Roseland Avenue
The main road through the borough between Caldwell and Roseland.
Fells Road / Devon Road
Winding residential roads with no shoulders.
