What tow truck work looks like in Linden, NJ
Linden is a few minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue), Wood Avenue and Stiles Street / Edgar Road and the town's own streets and lots.
A working city split by the Northeast Corridor tracks: dense residential blocks and a walkable Wood Avenue downtown on the west side, the Bayway refinery, Tremley Point and the Route 1 & 9 industrial and retail strip on the east. Commuter cars, contractor pickups and fleet vans share the streets with heavy truck traffic heading for the Turnpike and the port.
Mostly driveways and street parking on the west side; big open lots on the Route 1 & 9 strip and at the station. No parking decks, so a flatbed reaches almost anywhere.
Route 27 (St. Georges Avenue)
The west-side commercial spine to Rahway and Roselle; jughandles and tight curbside parking.
Wood Avenue
Downtown and the train station; angled parking, lockouts and dead batteries in the station lot.
Stiles Street / Edgar Road
Cross-town connectors between the Turnpike side and the residential west; potholes every spring.
NJ Turnpike
Exit 13 is Linden's exit; the ramps and the stretch to Exit 13A are the busiest breakdown spots in the city.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Linden station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its commuter lots are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
