24 hour towing near me in Piscataway, NJ: six areas, the campus lots, the I-287 ramps and the eight towns around them
Searching for towing near you in Piscataway? Here is the full map. The Rutgers campuses, River Road, the business parks, the interstate, Stelton Road and New Market, plus Edison, Highland Park, New Brunswick, South Plainfield, Dunellen, Middlesex, Bound Brook and Franklin Township, all served by a tow truck near you from Linden, about 28 minutes out and often closer.
Towing near me by area of Piscataway: what changes from Busch campus to New Market
One overnight dispatcher covers the whole township, but the truck and the approach change by area, because a stadium lot after a game, a flooded river road, a gated loading dock, an interstate ramp, a plaza lot and a residential driveway each call for something different.
Busch and Livingston campuses
Frelinghuysen Road, Bartholomew Road, Avenue E, Joyce Kilmer Avenue, the lots around SHI Stadium and Jersey Mike's Arena and the edge of the Rutgers Ecological Preserve. Post-game batteries, late-lab no-starts and keys locked inside, in lots that are huge and very dark after midnight.
River Road and Johnson Park
River Road beside the Raritan, Johnson Park, the Landing Lane bridge, the Colgate-Palmolive technical center and the Route 18 crossing. Low stretches that flood after heavy rain, a dark two-lane road between lights, and cars that stalled in water and must not be restarted.
Centennial Avenue and Hoes Lane
The office and warehouse parks along Centennial Avenue and Hoes Lane, near the Piscataway Municipal Complex. Shift change before dawn, gated lots, employee cars left out in the cold, and vans or box trucks that will not leave the dock.
The I-287 ramps
I-287 across the township with ramps at Stelton Road, Washington Avenue, Possumtown Road and River Road. Freight at 2 a.m., short shoulders, blown tires and empty tanks. Direct dispatch in both directions.
Stelton Road
Route 529 from the Edison line toward South Plainfield, with its plazas, restaurants and gas stations. Late workers and diners in emptying lots, lockouts outside closed stores and turning crashes at the plaza entrances.
New Market
New Market Road, New Market Pond, Washington Avenue and the streets toward Dunellen and Middlesex. Quiet blocks where the night call is a driveway no-start, a lockout outside the house or a slide on an icy curve.
A lot and row, a gate, a cross street or a ramp is all the dispatcher needs to send the right truck.

A car that can still limp should be steered onto a ramp, a plaza lot or a side street before the call. If it cannot, leave it: hazards on, out the door away from traffic, behind the rail, and then the phone, with the road, the direction and the last ramp or light you passed.

Call from the roadsideThe eight towns around Piscataway share the same night dispatch
Piscataway borders Edison, Highland Park, New Brunswick, South Plainfield, Dunellen, Middlesex, Bound Brook and Franklin Township, and each of them gets the same overnight dispatcher and the same $149 booking fee.
Edison
South and east along Stelton Road, I-287 and Route 1; the direction our trucks usually come from.
Highland Park
Just to the south, where River Road and the local streets cross into the borough; Raritan Avenue leads to the bridge into New Brunswick.
New Brunswick
Across the Raritan by Route 18 and the Landing Lane bridge; the downtown campus, the hospitals and the train station.
South Plainfield
North along Stelton Road and toward the I-287 ramps; industrial parks and quiet residential grids.
Dunellen
The small borough on the northern edge past New Market, with its train station and Route 28 main street.
Middlesex
North and west beyond Possumtown Road and Washington Avenue, along Route 28 and the Bound Brook line.
Bound Brook
Northwest across the Raritan toward Somerset County, reached by I-287 and Route 28 through Middlesex.
Franklin Township
West across the Raritan River in Somerset County, reached over the river crossings and I-287.
A tow from Piscataway into any of these towns, or from any of them into Piscataway, is priced as a local job: $149 to book plus the miles, quoted as one figure. Farther than that, to the shore, to Philadelphia or out of state, it becomes long distance towing, quoted up front with the tolls included.
Piscataway or the town next door, the number and the price do not change.

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Is there a tow truck near me in Piscataway right now?
Probably closer than you think. The yard is in Linden, about 28 minutes away, but overnight a truck is often already on I-287 or Route 18. The window you hear is based on the nearest truck's actual position.
Which part of Piscataway can you reach fastest?
Areas near the I-287 ramps, like Stelton Road and Centennial Avenue, are usually quickest. New Market and the far end of River Road take a little longer, unless a truck is already nearby.
Do you also cover the towns around Piscataway?
Yes. Edison, Highland Park, New Brunswick, South Plainfield, Dunellen, Middlesex, Bound Brook and Franklin Township all get the same dispatcher and the same $149 fee.
Are campus lots and highway ramps normal calls for you?
They are the calls we get most in Piscataway: the Busch and Livingston lots after games and labs, and the I-287 ramps at every hour.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
