24 hour towing in Edison, NJ: awake, close, one flat price
24 hour towing Edison NJ · $149 flat booking fee · $129 booked online
Edison does not go quiet. Raritan Center loads trailers until dawn, JFK Medical Center turns over a shift at eleven, the last Northeast Corridor train reaches Edison station well past midnight, and the kitchens on Oak Tree Road close late.

Everything about 24 hour towing in Edison, NJ, on one page
Why the Edison number worth saving is one that reaches a dispatcher at 3 a.m., not a mailbox
24 hour towing Edison NJ is what this NJ towing services provider does from Linden, twenty minutes up Route 1: a person on the phone at every hour of the night, a truck that leaves while you are still talking, and a $149 booking fee that reads the same at midnight as at midday.
Edison is the biggest township in Middlesex County and a surprising share of it works overnight. Raritan Center's docks stay lit until the morning drivers clock in. JFK Medical Center turns over at eleven and again at seven, and the late Northeast Corridor trains empty onto the Edison station lot long after the restaurants on Route 27 have gone dark.
Those are the hours when a car chooses to quit. A listing that reads 24 hours and rolls to voicemail at ten is no help to a nurse in the James Street garage or a driver waiting at a Fieldcrest Avenue gate.
This page exists for that hour. (908) 666-3168 reaches a dispatcher who is watching the trucks, and if you would rather not talk, booking online lowers the fee to $129 from $149.
Route 1 runs from our yard straight into yours
Linden to Edison is Routes 1 & 9 south through Rahway and Avenel, past the Woodbridge split, into the township at Menlo Park Mall. At night that is about twenty minutes, and Turnpike Exit 13 to Exit 10 is the alternative for Raritan Center. The arrival window the dispatcher gives you for Nixon or Oak Tree Road comes from that map, not from a brochure.
The clock is not a line on the receipt
Overnight towing earned its reputation through additions: a fee for the hour, a fee for fuel, storage that began the moment the wheels lifted. We print the number here instead. $149 by phone, $129 booked online, for dispatch and hook-up, with the mileage to your destination read out on the same call.
A jump, a spare, a lockout or a fuel run is one flat charge with no mileage on it. Bringing a passenger along costs nothing. The receipt says what the quote said.
A rollback for the cars Edison actually drives
The township's garages hold all-wheel-drive crossovers, EVs charging overnight in North Edison and Clara Barton, and leased sedans bound for the dealers along Route 1. None of them belong on a wheel-lift with the rear tires on the road. Tell us what you drive and a rollback comes when the car needs one; a wheel-lift comes when it does not, and the bill is smaller for it.
The car ends at your shop, not a lot with a daily rate
After a crash at the Parsonage Road jughandle or a breakdown on Amboy Avenue, the first truck to happen along will take the car somewhere that bills storage. Call us and the destination is yours: the mechanic on Plainfield Avenue, the body shop in Metuchen, the dealer on Route 1, your own driveway off Inman Avenue. Pictures are taken where the car is picked up and where it is set down, and the receipt is itemized.
Broken down in Edison this minute? Stop scrolling. Dispatch is awake and the total is quoted before the truck leaves Linden.
Call (908) 666-3168See every part of Edison we cover24 hour towing in Edison, NJ, hour by hour: the 12:40 train, the eleven o'clock turnover, the 4 a.m. dock
It looks like a dispatcher who is awake, a truck rolling down Route 1 while you are still on the phone, and a driver who knows the Menlo Park Mall deck has a height bar, JFK's garage has a night entrance, and Raritan Center's gates want a building number before they open.
Edison generates night calls the way smaller towns generate afternoon ones. A commuter steps off the 12:40 at Edison station to a car that sat since Monday, and a respiratory therapist finishing at JFK finds a flat in the garage. A driver at a Raritan Center dock turns the key on a box truck at 4 a.m. and hears a click.
Nothing about the overnight call is abbreviated. Dispatch still wants to know where the car sits, what it is, what it did and where it should go, and you still hear a flat figure and an honest window before the driver rings you from a few blocks out.
When the fix can be done where the car sits, a jump, a spare, a door opened, it is done there for the smaller roadside price. When it cannot, the rollback is already on its way and nobody pays for a second truck.
Edison station after the last Northeast Corridor train
The lots along Central Avenue and Route 27 hold cars for a week at a time, and the last trains from New York arrive after midnight. A battery that was borderline on Monday morning is flat by Friday night.
Tell dispatch the lot, the row and whether you have reached the car yet or are still on the overpass. Most of these calls finish with a jump; the rest finish with a rollback in the lot and the car headed to your shop, not to a yard.
JFK Medical Center at the eleven o'clock turnover
James Street fills and empties twice a night, and the garage produces the same problems every shift: batteries that gave up during twelve hours in the cold, keys locked inside, a tire that picked up a screw on Route 27. Say which deck and which level. The driver checks in with security and meets you at the car, so nobody is walking a dark garage looking for a truck.
Raritan Center between the last outbound and the first inbound
The park off Turnpike Exit 10 never really closes. Sprinter vans, straight trucks and the employee cars along Fieldcrest Avenue and Raritan Center Parkway quit at the shift turnover with a regularity you could set a watch by. The medium and heavy-duty units are parked in the same Linden yard as the rollbacks, so a fleet manager on the phone at 4 a.m. is speaking to our dispatcher and will get one invoice, not a hand-off.
The lot is dark, the shop is closed, and the car will not turn over. That is precisely the call we stay up for.
Call dispatch nowEmergency towing in Edison, NJ: which calls go to the front and what happens in the first ten minutes
An Edison emergency is a car in a live lane on Route 1 or I-287, a stall on a ramp with no shoulder, a vehicle in water on the Raritan side, a truck across a dock or a hospital ramp, or a family in the cold; the nearest truck moves before anything else is typed, and the price stays $149 plus mileage.
Type "emergency towing near me" from the shoulder of I-287 at 1 a.m. and you want a truck, not a menu. In Edison the dispatcher's first question is whether you are out of the lane, and the second is where to stand; the rest of the details come after.
The nearest truck is already turning toward you while those questions are asked. If you are still in a travel lane, dispatch stays on the phone until you are behind the barrier, and the figure you hear is the same one a weekday afternoon would produce.
A crash on Route 1 at the jughandles
Parsonage Road, Old Post Road, Plainfield Avenue: the Route 1 jughandles in Edison produce rear-end crashes at every hour. Ring us before the first passing truck offers and the destination stays yours; we winch the car onto the rollback, sweep the lane, photograph the damage for the adjuster and drop it at the body shop you pick. Police on scene will usually hold the car a few minutes once you tell the officer your own tow is en route.
Dead on I-287 or a ramp with no shoulder
I-287 through Edison has stretches where the shoulder narrows to nothing, and the ramps at Woodbridge Avenue and Durham Avenue are tight. If the car still rolls, coast to the next exit or a wide spot.
If it will not, switch on the hazards, leave by the door away from traffic and get over the barrier before dialing. The truck comes in with the light bar lit and parks itself between you and the lane.
Water on the Raritan side, ice on the North Edison hills
The low streets near the river in Piscatawaytown and Bonhamtown hold water after a long rain. The rises off Inman Avenue and Plainfield Avenue in North Edison glaze before Route 1 does.
Do not restart a car that took on water; it rides a rollback, and the driver sounds the depth before reversing toward it. A slide-off starts as a winch job and turns into a tow only if the impact bent something.
A truck across a dock, a car across a hospital ramp
A straight truck that quit in the lane at a Raritan Center dock, a dead car blocking the JFK emergency entrance, a van wedged in a gate on Talmadge Road. For everyone queued behind them those count as emergencies. The vehicle gets moved out of the way first and its final address is settled once it is clear, and fleet callers reach a direct line.
Use the word emergency and the closest truck is turning toward you before anything is typed.
Emergency dispatchHow a call worksEvery towing and roadside job we send into Edison, at any hour of the night
Edison gets the full list from the same dispatcher: emergency and accident tows, rollback and wheel-lift work, local and long-distance runs, medium and heavy-duty trucks, winch-outs, plus jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel delivery, the four jobs that most nights make the tow unnecessary.
Emergency towing
The car quit and is staying quit. A truck leaves Linden the second you approve the quote, whether you are on Woodbridge Avenue or under the I-287 overpass, headed for the shop you pick.
Flatbed towing
Every wheel off the ground and strapped at the tire. AWD, EVs, leased sedans, lowered cars and anything with crash damage go up on the deck, so nothing is dragged along Route 27.
Accident towing
After a collision on Route 1, Amboy Avenue or the Exit 10 ramps we winch it up, clear the lane, shoot photos for the adjuster and drop it at the body shop you choose, never at a lot with a meter.
Jump start, tire, lockout, fuel
Battery dead at Edison station, a flat in the JFK garage, keys shut in the car at Menlo Park Mall, tank empty on Plainfield Avenue. Fixed on the spot for one flat price, most nights without a tow.
Winch out & recovery
Off the edge of Talmadge Road, into the soft ground at Roosevelt Park, nose-first into a North Edison snowbank. The winch brings it back onto the asphalt; if it steers and stops, you take it home yourself.
Heavy duty towing
Box trucks, sprinters, straight trucks and tractors across Raritan Center, Talmadge Road and the Route 1 distribution buildings. Commercial dispatch that respects a delivery window and sends one invoice a month.
Local towing
Driveway to dealer, shop to shop, the car bought online in Piscatawaytown, the one with the dead registration in Clara Barton. Booking fee plus mileage, scheduled or right now.
Long distance towing
Edison to a shore house, a Philadelphia dealer, a Manhattan garage or a buyer three states away, on a single rollback for a single figure that already includes the tolls.
The longer explanations have their own pages: emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, heavy duty towing and roadside assistance. Nobody has to pick one before dialing. Describe what happened and where, and the dispatcher chooses the truck.
Not sure if it needs a truck or a jump pack? Say what it did and dispatch picks. Asking is free and the price is flat.
Call (908) 666-3168Book online · $20 off24 hour towing in every part of Edison, from Oak Tree Road down to Raritan Center
We tow in Clara Barton, Menlo Park, Oak Tree, North Edison, Raritan Center, Bonhamtown, Nixon, Piscatawaytown and along the Route 1 corridor, and each part of the township fails in its own way after dark.
Edison is thirty square miles and no two corners of it look alike at midnight. Oak Tree Road at midnight is a curb still full outside the last open kitchen. North Edison at midnight is a driveway on a hill with a crossover that will not crank.
Raritan Center at midnight is a guard booth and a row of trailers. The dispatcher asks for a cross street, a lot, a deck or a gate because the section decides which truck comes and which way it approaches.
Menlo Park and Edison station: the mall deck and the last train
Parsonage Road, Route 27, Central Avenue, Lincoln Highway and the acres of parking at Menlo Park Mall and the station. The mall deck has a height bar a rollback cannot pass, and the station lots are long and unlit at the far ends.
Night calls here are batteries after the stores close and cars that sat by the tracks all week. The truck comes down Route 1 and turns at Parsonage Road.
Oak Tree Road and North Edison: the late kitchens and the hills
Oak Tree Road, Plainfield Avenue, Inman Avenue, Grove Avenue, Wood Avenue and the residential streets toward South Plainfield and Metuchen. The restaurant blocks keep the curb full until the last table leaves, so a boxed-in car is a wheel-lift and skates job. The hills glaze first in winter, and the driveways hold a lot of all-wheel drive.
Raritan Center and Bonhamtown: Exit 10 and the docks
Raritan Center Parkway, Fieldcrest Avenue, Mill Road, King Georges Post Road, Woodbridge Avenue and the Turnpike's Exit 10. The park runs all night: box trucks at docks, tractors in yards, employee cars on the fence line at 5 a.m. Gates are shut after hours, so give dispatch the building number and arrange for someone to meet the truck. 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.
Clara Barton and JFK Medical Center: Amboy Avenue and the garage
Amboy Avenue, James Street, Grove Avenue, the streets between Route 27 and the Metuchen line, and the hospital's decks. Shift change at eleven and seven sends the same calls every night: batteries, lockouts, a flat picked up on the drive in. Older streets with cars on both curbs, so the driver works from the traffic side.
Nixon and Piscatawaytown: Woodbridge Avenue, the college, the river side
Woodbridge Avenue, Plainfield Avenue, Talmadge Road, Nixon Lane, the Middlesex County College campus and the streets down toward the Raritan and the Highland Park line. Night classes let out late, the Talmadge Road warehouses change shifts, and the low streets by the river hold water after a storm. A car that stalled in it rides a rollback only.
The Route 1 corridor and Roosevelt Park: dealers, jughandles, the park lots
Route 1 from the Woodbridge line past Menlo Park Mall, Roosevelt Park and the shopping centers to the New Brunswick line, plus Old Post Road, Vineyard Road and the jughandles. This is our direct road from Linden and the busiest strip in the township at every hour. Say the direction, the nearest jughandle or shopping center, and whether you are on the highway or already in a lot.
All nine sections, the station, the mall, the hospital, the park and the eight bordering towns are mapped on the service-area page.
Call (908) 666-3168Full Edison service areaTowing off Route 1, Route 27, I-287, Turnpike Exit 10 and the county roads in Edison
Route 1, Route 27, I-287, Woodbridge Avenue, Amboy Avenue and every Edison street get a truck sent directly; the Turnpike shoulder at Exit 10 belongs to the Authority's authorized garages, so we meet the car at the bottom of the exit or at the garage's lot and finish the run to wherever you say.
Turnpike Exit 10, where I-287 begins and Raritan Center's ramps feed in
Exit 10 is where the Turnpike meets I-287, Route 440 and Woodbridge Avenue, and the ramps feed Raritan Center around the clock. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
I-287 from the Turnpike to the South Plainfield line
I-287 begins at Exit 10 and climbs north through Edison past Woodbridge Avenue, Durham Avenue and New Durham Road toward Piscataway and South Plainfield. It is direct dispatch in both directions, with narrow shoulders and fast overnight truck traffic. Say which direction, the last ramp you passed, and whether you are on the mainline or already on a ramp.
Route 1 from Menlo Park Mall to the New Brunswick line
Our road in from Linden, and the township's busiest at 2 a.m. as well as 2 p.m. Jughandles at Parsonage Road, Old Post Road and Plainfield Avenue, dealer lots, shopping centers and short merges. A car that still moves should take the next jughandle onto the side road; one that does not stays put, and you tell dispatch the direction of travel and the last shopping center you passed.
Route 27, the Lincoln Highway, through Menlo Park and past the station
Route 27 enters Edison from Metuchen, passes Edison station at Central Avenue and runs on toward Highland Park with curb parking, bus stops and a lot of late commuter traffic. Pull into a side street or a lot if you can. If not, hazards on and tell us the nearest light and which way you were headed.
Woodbridge Avenue, Plainfield Avenue and Talmadge Road
The county roads that tie the sections together: Woodbridge Avenue from Exit 10 past the college to the Highland Park line, Plainfield Avenue from Nixon up through Oak Tree to the Metuchen side, Talmadge Road along the warehouses. Truck traffic all night on the first and third, curb parking on the second. Give the cross street and which side you are on.
Amboy Avenue, Oak Tree Road, Inman Avenue and King Georges Post Road
Amboy Avenue through Clara Barton toward Woodbridge and Fords, Oak Tree Road through the restaurant blocks, Inman Avenue over the North Edison hills, King Georges Post Road along the Raritan Center edge. Narrow, parked-up and busy at odd hours, so the driver needs the cross street to approach from the right side.
Sitting on an Edison shoulder right now? Get over the barrier with the hazards going, then dial. Dispatch tells you the rest.
Call from the roadsideHow much 24 hour towing costs in Edison, NJ: $149 flat, $129 online, and 3 a.m. is priced like 3 p.m.
In Edison the tow costs $149 to book by phone or $129 online, and that fee pays for the truck coming out and the hook-up; the miles to your chosen address are added at a rate the dispatcher says aloud before the truck moves, roadside jobs are one flat charge each, and no hour of the night carries a surcharge.
The number to remember is $149. It buys the truck's trip to you and the car going up on the deck, it is $129 if you book online yourself, and it does not change at 3 a.m. What sits on top of it is only the mileage to the destination you name and, rarely, a winch or dolly charge you hear about first.
Two examples from the same night. A compact that still rolls, from a Clara Barton driveway to a garage on Amboy Avenue, is a wheel-lift and a small figure; a crossover with a folded front end at the Exit 10 ramps, winched onto a rollback and carried to a body shop in Piscataway, is a bigger one. Either way the dispatcher reads it out before you say yes.
| What | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booking fee by phone | $149 | Dispatch and hook-up, any hour |
| Booking fee online | $129 | $20 off when you book it yourself |
| Mileage to your destination | Quoted on the call | Before the truck moves. You pick the shop. |
| Jump start · tire · lockout · fuel | One flat price each | No mileage. Tried first when it can solve it. |
| Winch or dollies | Only if the car will not roll | Named before the work, you decide |
| Night, weekend, holiday, fuel surcharge | None | 3 a.m. costs what 3 p.m. costs |
| Storage or release fee | None | The car goes to your shop, not a yard |
What the dispatcher is weighing when the quote is built
The distance from the car to the address you name comes first, so expect to be asked for the destination early. The vehicle comes second, because an EV or an all-wheel-drive SUV rides a rollback and a front-wheel-drive compact can ride a cheaper wheel-lift, while a van or box truck is a medium-duty job priced on its own.
Whether the car rolls and steers is third; a locked, crashed or flooded one may need the winch or dollies, and you hear that figure before the driver touches it. The hour is not on the list. The prices page walks through every line.
When it is not a tow at all
Most calls from the station lots and the hospital garage end with a jump pack, a spare going on, a door opened or a can of fuel, each at one flat charge and no mileage. If the battery will not take the charge or the spare is flat too, the tow is priced by the same driver on the spot, and you are not billed twice for the visit.
Prefer to hear the figure before deciding anything? Call and ask. Quotes are free and nothing is booked until you say so.
Call (908) 666-3168Edison towing pricesHow a 24 hour tow in Edison unfolds, from the first ring to the receipt in your hand
One call, four questions, one flat quote, a driver who rings when he is a few blocks away, photographs at pickup and drop-off, and an itemized receipt at the shop or driveway you chose.
- 1
The phone is answered by the person who sends the truck
(908) 666-3168 rings through to dispatch at any hour, never to a mailbox. Expect four questions: the location as a cross street, lot, deck, gate or exit; the make and drivetrain; what happened; and the address the car should reach. If you have no garage in mind, dispatch can suggest one nearby, but the choice remains yours.
- 2
A figure you can agree to and a window you can trust
The quote is $149 to book, the miles to your destination at the stated rate, and any winch or dolly work the dispatcher can already hear will be needed. The arrival window comes off the screen, from where the nearest truck is sitting, and in Edison that is usually somewhere on Route 1 between the mall and the college.
- 3
A call from the driver a few blocks out
The truck carries our name on the door and the driver rings before he reaches you. On a highway, stay over the barrier until he has the truck positioned; in a deck or a lot, wait inside with the doors locked if that feels better, and he rings again from your bumper.
- 4
Up on the deck, down at your shop, paid at the curb
The driver photographs the car before it goes up and again when it comes down, and you are welcome in the cab for the ride. At the destination the receipt is itemized to match the quote, printed or emailed, and written the way adjusters and roadside plans like to see it. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash.
Ring, answer four questions, agree to a figure, meet the truck. Nothing else is required of you at any hour.

Call (908) 666-3168Plain-text facts pageThe questions Edison drivers ask about 24 hour towing before they dial
In brief: a person answers all night, the figure is quoted before anything moves, the station lots, the mall deck, the hospital garage and the docks are all routine, and no membership or plan is required.
It is 2 a.m. in Edison. Does a real person answer, or a recording?
A person. The overnight dispatcher sits at a screen with the trucks on it and answers (908) 666-3168 the same way the day shift does. A big share of Edison's calls land between eleven at night and six in the morning, from the station lots, the JFK garage, Raritan Center's docks and the Route 1 jughandles, and none of them are treated as an interruption.
How long until a tow truck reaches Edison in the middle of the night?
The yard is in Linden, about twenty minutes up Route 1 or three Turnpike exits north, and a truck is often already working the Route 1 corridor. Menlo Park and the mall are quickest; Raritan Center and the river side of Piscatawaytown take a few minutes longer. The dispatcher gives you a window from where the closest truck is at that moment rather than a figure off a card.
What does 24 hour towing in Edison cost?
Booking by phone is $149, which pays for the truck coming to you and the hook-up; the same job booked online is $129. The miles to the address you give are read out before the truck leaves. Jumps, tire changes, lockouts and fuel runs are each a single flat charge, and the receipt carries no line for the hour, the weekend or the holiday. Full detail is on the prices page.
My car will not start in the Edison station lot after the last train. What happens?
Give the lot and row, and say whether you are at the car or still crossing the overpass. The rows along Central Avenue are long and the far ends are dark, so the driver calls when he turns in and you flash the hazards. Most of these are batteries that gave up during a week by the tracks, and a jump for one flat price is the whole visit. When the battery refuses the charge, the same driver prices the tow on the spot.
Can you get a car out of the Menlo Park Mall parking deck?
Yes. The deck has a height bar a rollback cannot clear, so the driver walks the car down to the surface on dollies or a wheel-lift and loads it in the open. Give dispatch the entrance you used, the store you parked nearest and the level. After the mall closes the ring road is quiet and the truck reaches you fast.
I work nights at JFK Medical Center and my car died in the garage. Do you come there?
Every week, and usually around the eleven o'clock and seven o'clock turnovers. Give the dispatcher the deck and level, and the driver checks in with security before coming up. Batteries and lockouts make up most hospital calls, so the roadside price is tried first; when it has to go, the car is taken to the shop you name, not a yard.
Turnpike, Exit 10, 1 a.m.: will a truck come onto the shoulder?
On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price. Everything off the Turnpike, I-287, Route 1, Route 27, Woodbridge Avenue and the township streets, is direct dispatch.
What about I-287 through Edison? Is that direct dispatch?
Yes, in both directions, at any hour. I-287 is not the Turnpike, so no authorized-garage rule applies. Say which direction you were headed, the last ramp you passed (Woodbridge Avenue, Durham Avenue or New Durham Road), and whether you have left the mainline for a ramp yet. Get behind the barrier while you wait; the shoulder is narrow in places.
Your question not here? Put it to the dispatcher. The night shift has not been stumped yet.
Call (908) 666-3168The full FAQSearching "tow truck near me" in Edison tonight? The nearest one is likely already on Route 1
"Tow truck near me" in Edison really asks which truck is closest at this minute; ours are on Route 1 and in the township through the night, the yard is twenty minutes off in Linden, and the dispatcher reads the nearest truck's real arrival time off the screen.
Every version of the search, "24 hour towing near me," "towing near me open now," "tow truck near me Edison," comes down to distance, minutes and dollars. The Edison version of the answer is below.
The trucks return to Linden between jobs, three Turnpike exits north or a straight run up Routes 1 & 9, and at night at least one is usually somewhere along Route 1 in the township. The dispatcher sees them on a map and tells you which one is yours and how far it is.
Nearest truck to Menlo Park, the mall and the station
Coming down Route 1 from Linden the truck reaches the Parsonage Road jughandle first, which makes the mall lots, the station rows on Central Avenue and the Route 27 blocks the fastest ground in the township at almost any hour.
Nearest truck to Oak Tree Road, North Edison and Clara Barton
Plainfield Avenue or Amboy Avenue carries the truck off Route 1 or Route 27 into the north end and the restaurant blocks. A cross street and a side of the road, or a hospital deck and level, tells the driver which way to enter.
Nearest truck to Nixon, Piscatawaytown and the college
Woodbridge Avenue and Plainfield Avenue take the truck from Route 1 or Exit 10 across the middle of Edison to the campus and the river side. These are older streets with cars on both curbs, so expect the driver to work from the traffic side while you wait on the sidewalk.
Nearest truck to Raritan Center, Bonhamtown and Exit 10
The industrial south end is reached by the Turnpike, I-287 or Woodbridge Avenue, and a truck already on a dock call at night is frequently nearer than the yard. A building number and gate, or a cross street on Fieldcrest Avenue or Mill Road, is what dispatch needs.
Wherever you are in Edison, dispatch knows how many minutes the closest truck is from you.

Twenty minutes from the Linden yard to anywhere in Edison, at whatever hour you call

Your call is not sold to a lead broker and passed down a chain. The dispatcher who answers (908) 666-3168 is looking at the trucks and can tell you, in minutes, how far the nearest one is from Menlo Park, Raritan Center or North Edison. If you prefer a form to a conversation, book online and the fee drops to $129 from $149. The service area and prices pages carry the detail; the phone carries the truck.
