24 hour towing on I-287 in Piscataway, NJ: the ramps at 2 a.m., short shoulders and freight going by

If the car still moves, take the next ramp and stop in a lit lot. If it will not, pull as far right as possible and turn on the hazards.

Leave by the door away from traffic and wait behind the guardrail. Call once you are safe, and the dispatcher stays on the line if you need it.

Northbound or southbound, the last ramp you passed, and whether you are on the mainline or on a ramp. A mile marker or a sign helps too.

With that, the nearest truck can pick the right direction and avoid a long turnaround. That saves you minutes at 2 a.m.

These ramps carry traffic between the interstate and Piscataway's busiest roads, and they curve with little room to stop. A car stalled on one needs quick help before someone comes around the bend.

The truck arrives with its lights on and parks behind you as a shield. Stay behind the rail until the driver tells you it is safe.

The northern ramps lead toward the campus side and the river. At night they are quiet, which feels safer but means fewer people passing to help.

Give dispatch the ramp and direction. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
