24 hour towing in Morris County, NJ: tow truck near you in 11 towns, 30 to 45 minutes from our Linden dispatch
Up I-78 to Route 24 and I-287 — Chatham first, then Madison, Florham Park, Morristown and Parsippany at the edge of the 45-minute promise.
Tow truck near you anywhere in Morris County, NJ: 11 towns, 30 to 45 minutes from our Linden dispatch
The NJ Towing Service dispatches flatbed and wheel-lift trucks from Linden to all 11 Morris County towns we list, 30 to 45 minutes away off-peak, 24 hours a day, with a flat price quoted before the truck leaves.
Morris County is the top of our western reach. I-78 to Route 24 puts Chatham about half an hour from Linden, with Madison, Florham Park and East Hanover a few minutes beyond. Morristown, Morris Township, Morris Plains and Parsippany-Troy Hills are 35–45 minutes via Route 24 and I-287, and Montville and Hanover's Whippany section round out the towns we cover here.
The calls are commuter-heavy: the Morristown and Madison train lots, the office parks along Route 10 and I-287 in Parsippany and Florham Park, and the Route 24 and I-287 shoulders. Because it is the edge of our area, we quote arrival honestly; if a closer truck can serve you faster we will tell you.
Use this page to find your town and its page, or skip it and call (908) 444-0129: a dispatcher answers at any hour, asks where the car is and what happened, and quotes the job before a truck moves. Everything below explains what that quote is built on in Morris County.
Zone 2 towns in Morris County: 20–35 minutes from Linden
Chatham (30 min). The window here is honest rather than heroic: the dispatcher tells you the real drive time, including rush hour, and the truck is usually early.
Zone 3 towns in Morris County: 35–45 minutes from Linden
Madison (38 min), Florham Park (38 min), East Hanover (40 min), Hanover (42 min), Whippany (42 min), Morristown (42 min), Morris Township (44 min), Morris Plains (44 min), Parsippany (45 min) and Montville (45 min). Most of the calls from these towns are scheduled tows, dealer runs and station-lot batteries rather than shoulder emergencies, and we price them exactly like a call from Linden.
How the dispatcher picks the truck for a Morris County call
The dispatcher hears the road, the town and the vehicle and matches them to a truck and a driver who knows that part of Morris County. Parsippany calls go to a driver who knows its streets; Montville calls go to whoever is closest, which at busy hours may be a truck finishing a job nearby rather than one leaving Linden.
Anywhere in Morris County, one number. Say the town, the road and what happened, and hear the price.

Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistanceHow much towing costs in Morris County, NJ: hook plus mileage, quoted before the truck leaves Linden, the same in Chatham and Montville
A tow in Morris County is a flat hook fee plus mileage from pickup to drop, a roadside job is one flat price, both are quoted on the call, and there are no night, weekend, holiday or fuel surcharges anywhere in the county.
Hook fee plus loaded miles, anywhere in Morris County
The hook fee covers the truck coming to you and loading the car. Mileage is counted from where the car is to where it is going, not from Linden, so a tow from Montville to a shop in Montville costs the same as the same distance in Chatham. The dispatcher has both addresses and quotes the total. Compare the local towing page for how the miles are counted.
Roadside jobs are one flat price in every Morris County town
A jump start, a tire change, a lockout or a fuel delivery is a single price for the service, quoted on the call, whether the car is in Parsippany or Montville. If the roadside fix does not solve it, the tow is quoted from the same conversation; you do not pay a second call-out.
What changes the number and what does not
The truck the car needs (a flatbed for AWD, low or damaged cars; a heavy wrecker for trucks), the distance to the drop, and recovery work such as a winch pull or a deck extraction change the price. The hour, the day, the weather and the town do not. Nights, weekends and holidays in Morris County are quoted from the same sheet as a Tuesday afternoon.
Why the far towns in Morris County are not charged for the drive from Linden
The drive from Linden is built into the hook fee, not added to it, so the outer Morris County towns pay the same hook as Chatham. What you pay for distance is the loaded miles from pickup to drop, and the dispatcher reads that number to you before the truck moves.
Get the exact number for your Morris County tow in thirty seconds. Asking is free.
Call for a quoteSchedule insteadHow the season changes towing in Morris County: what breaks on I-78 and Route 24 in January, April, July and October
Winter, spring, summer and fall each send a different kind of towing call from Morris County: ice and weak batteries, then potholes, then heat and tires, then wet leaves and deer at dusk; the 24-hour dispatch is the same all year. The river blocks along River Road and Passaic Avenue flood; the Route 24 ramps ice before the local streets.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Morris County for a few winters knows what the calendar does to the calls. The notes below are the pattern, so you know what to expect from towing in each season and what to do before you call.
Winter in Morris County: what freezes, what slides and what will not start
Winter emergency tows are mostly cars that slid, stalled in a drift or died at a light in the cold; the flatbed carries chains and a snatch block for the ones that left the pavement. In Morris County the hills and the shaded side streets ice first; say whether the car is on a slope so the driver brings the right rigging.
Pothole season in Morris County: March and April on Route 24
Spring brings suspension and tire damage from potholes; a car that hit one hard and now pulls or clunks should ride a flatbed rather than be driven. After a hard pothole hit in Morris County, check the tire and the wheel before driving on; if the rim is bent or the sidewall bulges, it is a flatbed job, not a drive.
Heat, holiday traffic and summer storms in Morris County
Summer emergencies are overheating and blown tires at speed; pull off, hood closed, and let the truck bring it to a shop before the head gasket goes. Summer in Morris County also fills the lots at Route 46 hotel and retail strip in Parsippany, and a car that sat in the sun all afternoon on a weak battery does not start at closing time; the technician carries a jump pack and checks the coolant, and the flatbed is sent from the same call if the fix will not hold.
Deer, wet leaves and the first freeze: fall in Morris County
In the fall the calls shift to deer strikes at dusk and wet-leaf spins on the ramps; both end with a flatbed and a body shop. Deer cross Route 24 and the quieter roads of Morris County around Chatham at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Morris County with a body-shop destination and photos for the insurer, and the car should not be driven if the radiator or a headlight is broken.
January or July, the number does not change and neither does the way the job is priced in Morris County. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in Morris CountyWhat a good towing company in Morris County does on the phone, and the signs of one that will overcharge you
Five checks separate a straight towing company in Morris County from an expensive one: the whole price up front, a real arrival window from Linden, the car delivered where you say, a receipt that lists every charge, and no truck that turns up uninvited on the shoulder of I-78.
Most drivers in Morris County pick a tow company once, in a hurry, from a search result. Here is what to listen for in the first minute of the call, whoever you call.
The first question: what is the total, before dispatch
A towing price has two parts, the truck and the miles, and both can be settled before anyone leaves Linden for Morris County. "We will figure it out on scene" means the number gets decided when you can no longer say no. We give the total on the call, whether it is hook plus mileage or a flat roadside rate, and the receipt matches it to the dollar. The pricing section shows how the total comes together.
The second question: how far away is the truck, really
When the answer to "where is the truck" is vague, the truck is probably not theirs. Ours leave Linden, which is 38 minutes from Morris County off-peak across Morris County, and the dispatcher knows the position of the closest one before quoting the window. Rush hour and storms stretch it, and you hear so on the call rather than on the shoulder. Every drive time on this page comes from that distance; see the roads section.
Confirm that the car goes to your shop, not theirs
You choose the destination: your own mechanic, the dealer, a body shop or your driveway. A company that nudges you toward "our shop" or "our lot" is setting up a second bill for storage or repairs. This matters most after an accident in Morris County, when the pressure to accept whatever is suggested is highest; you do not have to.
Turn away the truck that shows up on its own
Trucks that appear uninvited at a crash on I-78 or the highways around Morris County are chasing the job, and the invoice that follows is the reason the state regulates non-consensual tows. Our driver identifies the company and says your name on arrival. If another truck gets there first, say no and wait; that is your right.
Insist on an itemized receipt
The receipt should show the hook fee, the mileage, both addresses, the time and the plate; that is what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan reads before reimbursing you, and it is your record if a charge is ever disputed. Ours arrives by text or email when the car is dropped. Any question afterward goes to the same dispatcher at (908) 444-0129, not a billing department. More on contacting dispatch.
Ask us the five questions. The answers are on this page, and they are the same on the phone.
Call and askService areaThe Morris County drivers who call us for towing, and what each one needs
Roughly 196,000 people live in Morris County, and towing here serves all of them plus the drivers passing through: commuters parked at Chatham station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the borough commuter lots, families on the residential streets, the businesses around Route 46 hotel and retail strip in Parsippany, and the stranger whose car quit on I-78.
Morris County is 11 towns, roughly 196,000 people and every kind of street from parsippany-troy hills is the biggest township in morris county: i-80, i-287, route 10, route 46 and route 202 all cross it, with corporate campuses, hotels, lake hiawatha and lake parsippany neighborhoods to montville, towaco and pine brook: route 202 and changebridge road neighborhoods, route 46 and i-287 on the edges, and a lot of hills. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
Morris County commuters, from the platform at Chatham station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the borough commuter lots to the driveway
Commuters make up most of the towing calls we get from Morris County, and Chatham station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the borough commuter lots is where many of them start: the car sat all day and will not turn over at 6 p.m. The dispatcher quotes the tow to your shop or your driveway on the call, and says so if a jump or a tire would be the cheaper fix. What a commuter needs is an honest arrival window, and that is what the dispatcher gives.
Morris County households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
A county of about 196,000 people means thousands of family driveways, and the family car fails on a schedule: before school pickup, on the way to practice, the morning of a trip. Parking in Morris County runs from tight street parking in Parsippany to long private driveways in Montville; say which the car is in. The truck arrives set up for the driveway, and the passengers ride in the cab. A child locked in a car means 911 first, then (908) 444-0129, and that call jumps the line.
Businesses and fleets near Route 46 hotel and retail strip in Parsippany and Convent Station corporate campuses in Morris Township
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Route 46 hotel and retail strip in Parsippany cannot sit for a day. A small business in Morris County gets the same dispatcher and the same flat quote, plus an itemized receipt that works for the books. Larger trucks are a heavy-duty job in Morris County, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Passing through Morris County on I-78 when the car quit
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Morris County have never heard of it; they were on I-78 heading somewhere else.

Questions Morris County drivers ask before they call a tow truck
Arrival times by town, whether far towns cost more, cross-county tows, highway breakdowns, roadside without a membership and choosing your own shop; anything else, dispatch answers live.
How fast can a tow truck reach me in Morris County?
Between 30 and 45 minutes off-peak depending on the town: Chatham is 30 minutes from our Linden yard, Montville is 45. The dispatcher gives you the real window for your town and the current traffic, and the driver calls when he is a few minutes out.
Do you charge more for the far towns in Morris County?
No. The hook fee is the same in Montville as in Chatham; the drive from Linden is our cost. You pay loaded miles from where the car is to where it is going, and that number is quoted before the truck leaves.
Which towns in Morris County do you cover?
Chatham, Madison, Florham Park, East Hanover, Hanover, Whippany, Morristown, Morris Township, Morris Plains, Parsippany and Montville. Each has its own page with roads, lots and neighborhoods, linked above. If your town is not listed and is within 45 minutes of Linden, call anyway; we cover it.
Can you tow my car from Morris County to another county?
Yes. A tow that starts in Morris County and ends in Essex County or Passaic County or anywhere inside the 45-minute area is hook plus loaded miles, quoted as one number. Beyond the area it is a long distance run, also one quoted number including tolls.
I broke down on I-78 in Morris County. What do I tell you?
The direction you were heading, the nearest exit or mile marker, and what the car is. Our trucks use Route 24 Chatham / River Road exit, Route 24 via Chatham or Florham Park and Route 24 Columbia Turnpike / Florham Park exit for this part of the county. Belted in, hazards on. Shoulder calls go to the front of the line.
Do you do roadside assistance in Morris County, or only towing?
Both. Roadside Assistance, Jump Start, Flat Tire Change, Car Lockout and Fuel Delivery are dispatched to every Morris County town at one flat price each, no membership. If the roadside fix does not solve it, the tow is quoted from the same call.
Where do most Morris County calls come from?
Parsippany, Morris Township and Montville by volume, the station lots at Chatham station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the borough commuter lots and Madison station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Kings Road / Prospect Street lots, and the exits and shoulders of I-78 and Route 24. The town pages list the specific lots and roads.
Can I choose which shop my car goes to in Morris County?
Always. Your mechanic, the dealer, a body shop or your driveway, in Morris County or any other county we cover. We do not steer cars to a yard of ours, and after an accident you do not have to accept the shop or storage lot anyone else suggests.
Do you tow trucks and commercial vehicles in Morris County?
Yes. Box trucks, vans, buses and tractor units are a heavy-duty job dispatched to every Morris County town; fleet accounts get one monthly statement. Say the make, the length and whether it is loaded.
Is there a Linden office I can come to?
We are a dispatch operation, not a walk-in shop: trucks leave Linden and the phone is answered 24 hours a day at (908) 444-0129. Scheduled tows and questions can also go through the contact page.
Question not here? The dispatcher answers it in one sentence and quotes the job in the next.
