A tow truck near you in Morristown: dispatched from Linden, 42 minutes away, around the clock
From Linden, about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour away, The NJ Towing Service dispatches flatbed and wheel-lift trucks to Morristown 24 hours a day, quotes a flat price on the call and asks for no membership.
The county seat: the Green, a dense downtown of restaurants and offices, Morristown Medical Center, the courthouse and a major Morristown Line station. Parking decks, one-way streets and heavy weekend nightlife traffic make it the most urban call in Morris County. From the Linden yard, Morristown is about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, so it sits in the outer ring of our 45-minute area.
This page is built for one person: the driver in Morristown whose car just stopped. It covers the roads we come in on, the spots in town where cars die most, how a tow works on Morristown's streets, the price, and the towns next door. Stuck now? Call (908) 444-0129. Dispatch answers 24/7 and the price is quoted first.
How close our trucks really are to Morristown
Morristown is one of the Morris County towns a Linden truck reaches inside 45 minutes, which is the only reason it is on this site. The drive is about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour by I-287, Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue) and Route 124 (Madison Avenue), off at I-287 Exit 35 (Route 124 / Madison Avenue), and the arrival window the dispatcher gives you comes from where the nearest truck is at that moment. If I-287 is backed up, you hear that, not a guess.
What the driver plans for before he reaches Morristown
Downtown is decks and metered street parking — many decks are too low for a flatbed, so cars are dollied to the entrance. Residential streets outside the core have driveways. The dispatcher asks about it on the call so the truck is positioned right the first time instead of blocking a Morristown street while the driver works out an approach.
Where Morristown drivers call us from most
The calls cluster where the cars are: Morris County Courthouse, Morristown National Historical Park (Fort Nonsense / Jockey Hollow), Morristown Airport (via Whippany Road), Morristown Medical Center and Morristown Green, and the lots at Morristown station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Morris Street commuter lots and Convent Station on the Madison line. A jump start or a lockout fixes half of them on the spot; the rest are tows to the shop the Morristown driver chooses.
Morristown towing rates: hook plus mileage, nothing hidden
A tow in Morristown is a flat hook fee plus mileage to the destination you name. Roadside services such as a jump start or a lockout are one flat price each. The dispatcher quotes the total on the call, and the receipt matches it. No night surcharge, no fuel surcharge, no passenger fee.
If the car is stopped in Morristown right now, stop reading and call. A dispatcher answers around the clock and gives the price before anything moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Morris CountyTow truck service on I-287, Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue), Route 124 (Madison Avenue) and South Street: the roads we run to reach Morristown
Our route from Linden to Morristown runs I-287, Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue) and Route 124 (Madison Avenue), coming off at I-287 Exit 35 (Route 124 / Madison Avenue) and I-287 Exit 36 (Ridgedale Avenue / Morristown), and a breakdown on any of those roads is a direct dispatch.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Morristown by its roads: I-287, Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue) and Route 124 (Madison Avenue) and the streets between them. Each one below comes with the note our drivers actually use, from the narrow shoulder to the ramp that ices first. On the call, give the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit, and the truck approaches from the right side.
I-287 breakdowns and tows in Morristown
Runs along the town's east side; Exits 35 and 36 serve downtown and the hospital, and the ramps are the busiest breakdown spots. A breakdown on I-287 is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Morristown: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue) breakdowns and tows in Morristown
The north-south spine through the Green; slow, signalized and tight with parked cars. A breakdown on Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue) is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Morristown: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Towing on Route 124 (Madison Avenue) in Morristown
The road in from Madison past the hospital; congested at shift change. On Route 124 (Madison Avenue) we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
South Street breakdowns and tows in Morristown
Downtown's main commercial street; one-way sections, meters, and a lot of double parking. If you are on a shoulder of South Street, stay belted with the hazards on and tell the dispatcher the direction you are facing.
Highway exits that serve Morristown
Our drivers reach Morristown by I-287 Exit 35 (Route 124 / Madison Avenue) and I-287 Exit 36 (Ridgedale Avenue / Morristown). A driver on the highway who can give an exit number and a direction gets a truck on the right side of the road the first time. On the express lanes of the Turnpike and Parkway, where there is no exit to reach, the Authority's garage brings the car off and we take over at the exit.

Call from the shoulderEmergency towingEight towing services dispatched to Morristown: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
From Linden to Morristown, 24/7, we dispatch every towing service we offer, emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, local towing, long distance towing, motorcycle towing, heavy duty towing and winch out, and each one is written up for Morristown on the page linked below.
Each service below is a different truck, a different rigging setup and a different price, and each has its own Morristown page. The dispatcher chooses from what you describe; you never have to pick the category yourself.
Morristown emergency towing
The call that comes in most from Morristown: the car stopped and it is not going to start again. On I-287, on Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue), in a driveway or a lot at Morristown Medical Center, a truck is dispatched the minute you approve the quote and the driver calls when he is minutes out. Night and holiday tows are priced the same as a weekday afternoon. Full details on emergency towing in Morristown.
Morristown flatbed towing
A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the road, which is what an AWD, an EV, a lowered car or anything that cannot roll needs between Morristown and the shop. Tell the dispatcher the model and whether it moves; the deck, the winch and the skates are chosen before the truck leaves Linden. See flatbed towing in Morristown.
Accident Towing in Morristown
After a crash on I-287 or at a Morristown intersection, calling your own tow before the police rotation truck arrives keeps you in control of where the car goes and what it costs. We recover, clear the lane, photograph the car for your insurer and deliver it to the body shop you choose. See accident towing in Morristown.
Local Towing in Morristown
Shop transfers, dealer drops, a car bought online, a project car, a vehicle with expired plates that cannot be driven legally. A local tow from Morristown is a hook fee plus mileage, quoted on the call, scheduled or immediate. Tows to shops in Morristown or the next town usually stay inside the base mileage. See local towing in Morristown.
Long Distance Towing for Morristown drivers
From Morristown to the shore, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut or a buyer three states away: one flatbed, one driver and one quoted price that includes the hook, the mileage, tolls and the return leg. Same-day, not a week waiting for a carrier slot. See long distance towing in Morristown.
Motorcycle Towing for Morristown drivers
Sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, dirt bikes and scooters in Morristown get the chock, the soft loops and even fork compression so nothing walks on the deck. Tell the dispatcher the model. See motorcycle towing in Morristown.
Heavy Duty Towing in Morristown
A box truck stalled near Morristown Medical Center, a landscaping rig with a trailer on Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue), a bus or a tractor working Morristown: each needs a truck rated for its weight, and the dispatcher picks it from the GVWR you give. Whether it is loaded and whether it rolls decides the rigging. Fleets get one monthly invoice. See heavy duty towing in Morristown.
Morristown winch out
The hills on Mount Kemble Avenue and toward Jockey Hollow ice first; the Whippany River low spots flood. A winch-out rigs to a proper recovery point, pulls the car straight back to the pavement and, if it drives, you drive away. If it does not, the tow is quoted on the spot with no second callout. See winch out in Morristown.

Call (908) 444-0129All servicesJump starts, flat tires, lockouts and fuel in Morristown: roadside assistance at a flat price, no plan required
Roadside assistance in Morristown means a technician at your car in about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour for a jump, a tire change, a lockout or fuel, each at a single flat price, with the flatbed dispatched from the same conversation if the car needs it after all.
Half the calls from Morristown that start as "I need a tow" end as a roadside fix for less money. The lots at Morristown station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Morris Street commuter lots and Convent Station on the Madison line produce dead batteries all winter. The lots at Morristown Medical Center produce lockouts. I-287 produces flats and empty tanks. A technician handles all of it.
Roadside Assistance in Morristown
Jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel across Morristown at one flat price each, no membership. The lots at Morristown station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Morris Street commuter lots keep us busy with dead batteries. Morristown Green keeps us busy with lockouts. A tech comes to the car and, most of the time, you drive away. See roadside assistance in Morristown.
Jump Start in Morristown
A car that sat all day at Morristown station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Morris Street commuter lots with a dome light on is the classic Morristown jump-start call. Commercial lithium packs for cars, trucks, diesels and hybrids, then a load test so you know whether the battery will hold. See jump start in Morristown.
Flat Tire Change for Morristown drivers
Potholes on I-287 and Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue) shred sidewalls and bend rims every spring. A tech installs your spare with a floor jack, an impact gun and the truck shielding the scene; no usable spare means a tow to the tire shop you pick, quoted on the same call. See flat tire change in Morristown.
Car Lockout in Morristown
Locked out in Morristown, at Morristown Green, at a pump on Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue) or in your own driveway: the technician opens the door with an inflatable wedge and a long-reach tool, without touching the wiring or the glass, and checks your ID afterward. A child or a pet inside means 911 first, then us. See car lockout in Morristown.
Morristown fuel delivery
Out of fuel in Morristown, on Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue) or in a driveway after the gauge lied all week: a few gallons of gas or diesel are delivered around the clock, enough to reach a station, and a diesel that ran dry is primed before it is restarted. Put the wrong fuel in? Do not start it; we tow it to be drained. See fuel delivery in Morristown.
Dead battery, flat, locked out or out of gas in Morristown? A tech is one call away, no membership.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in MorristownFranklin Corners, Morris Street / station area, Mount Kemble Avenue and Downtown / The Green and more: tow truck response in every part of Morristown
Franklin Corners, Morris Street / station area, Mount Kemble Avenue, Downtown / The Green, South Street, Speedwell Avenue and Madison Avenue / hospital area: every section of Morristown gets towing and roadside help at the same flat quoted price.
Morristown is not one kind of street. Downtown is decks and metered street parking — many decks are too low for a flatbed, so cars are dollied to the entrance. Residential streets outside the core have driveways. The sections below are the parts of town our drivers know by name, and what changes about a tow in each.
Tow truck in Franklin Corners, Morristown
In Franklin Corners the driver's first question is where the car is sitting. A Franklin Corners driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get a different approach, and knowing before he leaves Linden means the right rigging is on the truck. Everything else is the same in Franklin Corners as in the rest of Morristown: flat price, real arrival window, itemized receipt.
Morris Street / station area: what a tow looks like here
Whether the car is in Morris Street / station area or across town, the process is identical: you call (908) 444-0129, say where the car is and what happened, hear the price, and the truck rolls. Morris Street / station area matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Towing and roadside help in Mount Kemble Avenue
Mount Kemble Avenue gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Morristown: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Mount Kemble Avenue and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Tow truck in Downtown / The Green, Morristown
Whether the car is in Downtown / The Green or across town, the process is identical: you call (908) 444-0129, say where the car is and what happened, hear the price, and the truck rolls. Downtown / The Green matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Towing and roadside help in South Street
Whether the car is in South Street or across town, the process is identical: you call (908) 444-0129, say where the car is and what happened, hear the price, and the truck rolls. South Street matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Towing and roadside help in Speedwell Avenue
Whether the car is in Speedwell Avenue or across town, the process is identical: you call (908) 444-0129, say where the car is and what happened, hear the price, and the truck rolls. Speedwell Avenue matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Towing and roadside help in Madison Avenue / hospital area
Madison Avenue / hospital area gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Morristown: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Madison Avenue / hospital area and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Anywhere in Morristown, same number, same flat price, same 24/7 dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWhere we get called in Morristown: Mayo Performing Arts Center, Headquarters Plaza and Morris County Courthouse and the roads between them
The most common Morristown pickup points are Mayo Performing Arts Center, Headquarters Plaza, Morris County Courthouse, Morristown National Historical Park (Fort Nonsense / Jockey Hollow) and Morristown Airport (via Whippany Road) and the lots at Morristown station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Morris Street commuter lots and Convent Station on the Madison line; a truck or a technician reaches any of them in about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour.
Mayo Performing Arts Center: tow truck and roadside response
Mayo Performing Arts Center is one of the places Morristown drivers call from most. Tell the dispatcher the name and the nearest entrance or lot section; the driver knows where a truck can stop and how to reach a car boxed in by others. A dead battery or a lockout here is usually a roadside fix, not a tow.
Headquarters Plaza: tow truck and roadside response
Headquarters Plaza is one of the places Morristown drivers call from most. Tell the dispatcher the name and the nearest entrance or lot section; the driver knows where a truck can stop and how to reach a car boxed in by others. A dead battery or a lockout here is usually a roadside fix, not a tow.
Morris County Courthouse: tow truck and roadside response
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Morris County Courthouse gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Morristown.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Morristown National Historical Park (Fort Nonsense / Jockey Hollow)
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Morristown National Historical Park (Fort Nonsense / Jockey Hollow) gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Morristown.
Towing at Morristown Airport (via Whippany Road)
Morristown Airport (via Whippany Road) is one of the places Morristown drivers call from most. Tell the dispatcher the name and the nearest entrance or lot section; the driver knows where a truck can stop and how to reach a car boxed in by others. A dead battery or a lockout here is usually a roadside fix, not a tow.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Morristown Medical Center
A car that will not start at Morristown Medical Center is a jump start first and a tow only if the battery is finished; keys locked in the car are a lockout. Say which lot or which side of Morristown Medical Center, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Dead batteries and lockouts at Morristown station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Morris Street commuter lots and Convent Station on the Madison line
Station lots are where Morristown batteries go to die: ten hours parked, a light left on, and a dark walk back to a car that clicks. The tech starts it from a commercial jump pack and tests the battery before leaving so you are not stranded again at the next stop. A key locked in the car on the platform side is opened without scratching a thing. Both are flat-priced; details on jump starts in Morristown and car lockouts in Morristown.
At one of these spots right now? Say the name and the lot, and the truck or the tech is on the way.
Call (908) 444-0129Jump start in MorristownChoosing a tow truck company in Morristown: price first, real arrival time, itemized receipt, your destination
Before you accept a tow in Morristown, listen for five things: the full price before dispatch, an arrival window based on where the truck really is, your choice of destination, an itemized receipt, and a driver you actually called rather than one who appeared on I-287.
Most drivers in Morristown 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.
Get the full price before a truck is sent to Morristown
Nothing about the price of a tow needs to wait for the driver: the truck the car needs and the miles to the destination are both known on the phone. When a company answers "the driver will tell you," the number arrives once the car is already on the deck and your leverage is gone. Our dispatcher quotes hook plus mileage for a tow or one flat price for a roadside job, and the receipt repeats it. See the pricing section for how it is built.
The second question: how far away is the truck, really
A call center that answers "twenty minutes" is quoting a subcontractor it has not spoken to yet. Our trucks are dispatched from Linden, 42 minutes from Morristown when the roads are clear, and the dispatcher sees where the nearest one is on a screen. You get the honest window, and at rush hour on I-287 that includes the bad news. The roads section is built on that same real distance.
Make sure the car goes where you say
Where the car goes is your decision, not the driver's: a mechanic you trust, the dealer, a body shop, home. When a company steers the car to its own yard, storage fees start the same night. After an accident in Morristown hold onto that choice; neither the other driver, the officer nor the tow company gets to pick your shop or your storage lot.
Turn away the truck that shows up on its own
Trucks that appear uninvited at a crash on I-287 or the highways around Morristown 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.
The fifth question: will the receipt be itemized
Hook fee, mileage, addresses, time, plate. That is what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan needs to reimburse you, and it is what you need if anything is questioned later. We send it by text or email at the drop. Questions afterward go to the same dispatch line at (908) 444-0129, not a billing office. More on contacting dispatch.
Put the five questions to us. Every answer is already on this page, and the dispatcher gives the same ones out loud.
Call and askService areaWhat a tow in Morristown costs, how the number is built, and why you hear it before dispatch
Towing in Morristown is priced as a flat hook fee plus a per-mile rate to wherever the car is going, quoted before dispatch; each roadside service has one flat price; nothing is added for night, weekend, holiday or fuel.
The two numbers in a Morristown tow
Two numbers make the price: the hook fee, which is the same for every tow, and the mileage from the pickup in Morristown to the drop-off. Short tows to a local shop stay inside the base mileage. Longer ones are quoted per mile. You hear the total before you decide.
Roadside in Morristown: a single price for each service
Each roadside service in Morristown, a jump start, a tire change, a lockout, a fuel delivery or a winch-out, carries a single price that is the same at 3 a.m., on a Sunday and in the middle of a storm. Delivered fuel is charged at cost on top. When a roadside job turns out to need the flatbed, you pay for the tow alone, not for a second call-out.
What is never on a Morristown towing bill
No fuel surcharge. No after-hours surcharge. No passenger fee. No administrative fee. No storage, because the car goes where you told us, not to our yard. If a driver ever asks for a different number than dispatch quoted for the same job in Morristown, call dispatch from the scene.
Payment and reimbursement for a Morristown tow
Pay by any major card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the car; fleet accounts run on net terms. The receipt itemizes the Morristown pickup, the drop-off, the miles and the service, which is exactly what an insurer or a roadside plan asks for. An accident tow is almost always covered under collision, and most roadside memberships pay back an out-of-network call up to their limit.
Want the number for a tow in Morristown before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towTowing in Morristown by season: the calls we get in winter, spring, summer and fall
The trucks run to Morristown in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on I-287 in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. The hills on Mount Kemble Avenue and toward Jockey Hollow ice first; the Whippany River low spots flood.
The same trucks serve Morristown in every month, but I-287 in January is a different road from I-287 in July. This is how the season changes the towing calls we get from Morristown, and how we prepare for each.
Winter towing in Morristown when I-287 ices over
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. The lot at Morristown station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Morris Street commuter lots empties late on winter evenings, and the cars left behind are ours to jump or tow. Say whether the car is behind a plow ridge, on a sloped driveway or on the shoulder of I-287; each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
Pothole season in Morristown: March and April on Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue)
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. The spring calls cluster around Morristown Medical Center and along I-287, where the traffic is heaviest and the pavement breaks first; if the steering wheel sits off-center after a hit, the car rides the flatbed to an alignment shop rather than chewing up a new tire on the way.
Towing in Morristown in July and August
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 Morristown also fills the lots at Morristown Medical Center, 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 Morristown
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 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue) and the quieter roads of Morristown around Downtown / The Green at dusk from October on; a deer strike is an accident tow in Morristown 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 Morristown. Call (908) 444-0129, say what happened, and the season is our problem.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in MorristownWhile you wait for the truck in Morristown: on the shoulder of I-287, in a driveway, in a lot or under a deck
Get the car as far out of traffic as it will roll, hazards on, stay belted inside unless the car itself is in danger, keep your phone charged for the driver's call, and have the key, license and registration ready.
Stopped on I-287 or on Route 202 (Speedwell Avenue / Mount Kemble Avenue)
If the car still rolls, get it fully onto the shoulder or off at the next exit. Turn the wheels away from traffic. Hazards on. Stay in the car, belted, unless the car is in danger; then get behind the guardrail well away from it. Runs along the town's east side; Exits 35 and 36 serve downtown and the hospital, and the ramps are the busiest breakdown spots. Do not accept a tow from a truck that shows up uninvited; ours says the company name and your name.
Parked in a Morristown driveway or at the curb
Downtown is decks and metered street parking — many decks are too low for a flatbed, so cars are dollied to the entrance. Residential streets outside the core have driveways. Clear whatever the driver has to get past, unlock the car and keep the key in your hand. On a street with alternate-side parking or a sweeping window, say so; the truck can move the car before the ticket is written.
Morristown lots and garages: what the driver needs to know
Tell the dispatcher which lot, Mayo Performing Arts Center for instance, and which section or level, plus the posted clearance if there is one. A flatbed cannot get under most decks, so the car rolls to the entrance on skates or a dolly and is loaded outside. Meet the driver at the car when possible, and empty it of anything you need before it is loaded.
Phone charged, papers in hand
The driver calls when he is a few minutes out so you know which truck is yours. Have your license, registration and insurance card ready; after a lockout we ask for them before we leave. At the destination you get an itemized receipt. One Morristown note: The hills on Mount Kemble Avenue and toward Jockey Hollow ice first; the Whippany River low spots flood.
Belted in, hazards on, phone charged. Now call. The driver will call you back before he arrives in Morristown.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in MorristownWho calls for towing in Morristown: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on I-287
The towing calls from Morristown come from a town of about 20,000 residents and from everyone who drives through it: the commuter lot at Morristown station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Morris Street commuter lots, the family driveways, the shops and fleets near Morristown Medical Center, and the drivers who know the town only as an exit on I-287.
The county seat: the Green, a dense downtown of restaurants and offices, Morristown Medical Center, the courthouse and a major Morristown Line station. Parking decks, one-way streets and heavy weekend nightlife traffic make it the most urban call in Morris County. Each kind of driver below calls for a different reason, and the dispatcher hears all of them in a week.
Morristown commuters, from the platform at Morristown station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the Morris Street commuter lots to the driveway
A Morristown commuter's car fails at the worst possible moments: leaving for the train, coming home late, or on I-287 in the morning rush. We tow it to the shop you name or the driveway you left from, and tell you the price first. Most commuter calls are quoted and dispatched in under three minutes.
Family cars, driveways and school lots in Morristown
The town has a lot of two- and three-car households, and the spare car is the one that fails. A local tow to the shop or the dealer is priced as hook plus mileage, quoted on the call. If you are locked out with a child inside, call 911 first and then us; that call goes to the front of the line.
Businesses and fleets near Morristown Medical Center and Morristown Green
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Morristown Medical Center cannot sit for a day. A small business in Morristown 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 Morristown, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Strangers to Morristown: breakdowns on I-287 on the way somewhere else
Half of the towing calls from Morristown are from people who do not live here: a car that quit on I-287 on the way somewhere else. You do not need to know the town. Say the road, the direction and the last exit or a sign you can see, and the dispatcher places you. If the car is going far, we quote it as one number; see long distance towing.
Commuter, parent, shop owner or stranger on I-287: everyone in Morristown calls the same number, (908) 444-0129, and gets the same dispatcher at any hour.

Call nowMorris County towingMorristown towing questions, answered before you call
The questions below cover arrival time in Morristown, price, the right truck, destinations, lots and decks, insurance and waiting safely; for anything else, the dispatch line answers in person.
How long does a tow truck take to reach Morristown?
On a normal day, about 42 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from the Linden yard; Morristown is zone 3, 35–45 minutes. Traffic on I-287 at rush hour and storms add to it, and the dispatcher quotes the real window on the call rather than a hopeful one.
What does towing cost in Morristown, NJ?
Hook fee plus a per-mile rate to wherever the car is going, and you hear the total on the phone before the truck moves. Most tows to a shop in Morristown or Morris Township stay inside the base mileage. Roadside jobs are single flat prices. Nothing extra for night, weekend, holiday or fuel.
Do you have a shop or a yard in Morristown?
There is no shop in Morristown. We are a mobile service dispatched from Linden, 42 minutes away, and the truck comes to the car wherever it is in town; there is nowhere you need to drive to.
Can you tow an all-wheel-drive or electric car in Morristown?
Yes, and always on a flatbed, because dragging the drive wheels of an AWD or an EV damages it. Give the dispatcher the make and model and the flatbed is sent the first time. See flatbed towing in Morristown.
Can I choose where my car goes from Morristown?
The destination is yours: a mechanic, a dealership, a body shop, home, inside Morristown or well outside it. The car never goes to a yard of our choosing. Runs past the 45-minute area are quoted by the mile.
What if my car is in a garage in Morristown the truck cannot enter?
Yes. Downtown is decks and metered street parking — many decks are too low for a flatbed, so cars are dollied to the entrance. Residential streets outside the core have driveways. Since a flatbed will not fit under most decks, the driver rolls the car to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loads it in the open. Give the dispatcher the name of the place and the level.
Is there room for me in the cab on a tow from Morristown?
In most cases one person can ride in the cab to the drop-off. Say on the call how many people are with the car in Morristown.
Do I need a membership or insurance to call you in Morristown?
No membership and no insurance required. Call, the truck comes, and you pay on site by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. The itemized receipt is what most insurers and roadside plans need to reimburse an out-of-network tow.
Can you send a technician instead of a tow truck in Morristown?
Tell the dispatcher, or just describe what the car is doing and let dispatch decide. A roadside technician costs less than a tow and usually gets you driving again on the spot. See roadside assistance in Morristown.
A rotation tow is on its way to my crash in Morristown. Can I use you instead?
In most cases, yes. Officers generally let a private tow take the car when it arrives promptly and the scene is not blocking the road, so say your truck is on the way. If the car is already in a rotation yard, a signed release lets us collect it the same day before storage adds up. See accident towing in Morristown.
Do you tow at night and on holidays in Morristown?
Yes. The dispatch line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, and a tow in Morristown at 3 a.m. on a holiday is priced the same way as one on a Tuesday afternoon.
Which towns near Morristown do you also cover?
Morris Township, Morris Plains, Madison, Florham Park, Hanover, Whippany, Basking Ridge and Bernardsville, and every other town within 45 minutes of Linden across Morris County and eight more counties. Each has its own page.
If your question is missing, call it in. A dispatcher answers it directly and prices the job in the same breath.
