What tow truck work looks like in New Brunswick, NJ
New Brunswick is roughly 27 minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Route 1, Route 27 (Albany Street / French Street) and George Street / Livingston Avenue and the town's own streets and lots.
The county seat and Rutgers' main campus city: a dense downtown of hospitals, office towers, the theater district and student housing, parking decks on every block, and tight residential neighborhoods spreading out toward Route 1 and Route 18. Student cars, hospital staff commuters, delivery vans and a lot of cars in decks with low clearance.
Parking decks all over downtown and the hospitals, most with clearance under seven feet, so cars are dollied to the exit before a flatbed loads. Tight permit street parking in the neighborhoods.
Route 1
The southern edge with the Route 1 retail strip and the Route 18 interchange.
Route 27 (Albany Street / French Street)
Through downtown and the residential south side; double-parking and lockouts.
George Street / Livingston Avenue
Campus and downtown spines; slow, one-way stretches, constant deliveries.
Easton Avenue
The student strip to Somerset; tight curbside parking and dead batteries.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at New Brunswick station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and Amtrak) with its decks and Rutgers campus bus hubs are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
