What tow truck work looks like in South River, NJ
South River is roughly 30 minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Main Street, Old Bridge Turnpike and Whitehead Avenue / Prospect Street and the town's own streets and lots.
An old riverfront borough between East Brunswick and Sayreville: tight residential blocks, Main Street's small downtown, and the South River waterfront. Commuter cars and contractor trucks; not much highway inside the borough, so tows head to Route 18 or Route 9.
Street parking on narrow blocks and small driveways; cars often need a dolly to get out from between parked vehicles.
Main Street
Downtown and the old commercial spine; angled and curbside parking.
Old Bridge Turnpike
The main road to East Brunswick and Route 18; slow and parked up.
Whitehead Avenue / Prospect Street
Residential connectors with tight turns for a flatbed.

The nearest highway in East Brunswick.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Nearest stations: South Amboy and New Brunswick are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
