Hoboken from the driver's seat
Hoboken is roughly 32 minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Washington Street, Observer Highway and Route 495 / Willow Avenue approach and the town's own streets and lots.
One square mile of brownstones, mid-rise buildings, the Hudson waterfront and Hoboken Terminal, with Washington Street's bars and restaurants running the full length. The tightest street parking in the state, resident-permit zones, and a lot of cars in building garages that have not moved since the fall. Small cars, commuter cars and the delivery vans that double-park all day.
Permit-zone street parking with cars packed bumper to bumper, plus municipal decks and building garages under seven feet. Almost every tow starts with a dolly to get the car to a spot the flatbed can reach; the driver calls before he arrives to plan the pickup.
Washington Street
The main commercial street; double-parked deliveries all day and dead batteries after the bars close.
Observer Highway
The southern edge along the terminal and the rail yard; the approach for most tows in and out.
Route 495 / Willow Avenue approach
The Lincoln Tunnel helix is just north; the 14th Street viaduct is the way out to Jersey City Heights.
Sinatra Drive
The waterfront road; narrow and busy.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Hoboken Terminal (NJ Transit, PATH, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, ferries) and Light rail at 2nd Street and 9th Street are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
Learn Hoboken's streets on the job; the dispatcher routes every call.
