Towing across Morris County, NJ, from the Route 24 towns to the lakes
Why Morris County drivers keep one towing number for Madison, Morristown, Parsippany and the lake towns
Towing Morris County NJ is a NJ towing services provider that takes towing Morris County NJ calls from all 39 towns on (908) 666-3168, dispatches trucks from a yard in Linden, and tells every caller the true drive time and the full price before a truck is sent.
Morris County stretches from the Passaic River at Chatham to the Musconetcong at Netcong, and from the Pequannock watershed down to the Somerset hills. A breakdown here can mean a busy interchange in Parsippany or a dark lake road in Jefferson.
Anyone searching towing Morris County NJ deserves to know who is coming and from where. Our answer is simple: one dispatcher at (908) 666-3168, trucks from Linden, and an honest window. Book online and the fee drops from $149 to $129.
We say where the trucks start
Our yard is in Linden, in Union County, not in Morris County. That makes the Route 24 towns our closest ground and the western lakes our longest drive. Saying so up front lets you decide whether to wait, reschedule or book ahead.
One phone line for 39 municipalities
Morristown, Mountain Lakes, Mine Hill and Mount Arlington all dial the same desk. You do not have to know which township line you stopped on. The road, the direction and a landmark are enough.
The nearest truck, not the yard, sets the window
A truck finishing a tow in Florham Park can turn toward Morristown long before a fresh truck leaves Linden. The dispatcher checks the board first and quotes from whichever unit is closest to you.
A printed price that holds in every town
Budd Lake pays the same booking fee as Madison. Mileage runs from your car to its destination, so a Dover car going to a Dover shop stays short on the bill. Roadside jobs are one flat price each, anywhere in the county.
Save one number for the whole county. The dispatcher asks where you are to pick the closest truck and give a real window.
Call (908) 666-3168Every Morris County town we coverHow far each part of Morris County sits from our Linden yard, told straight
From Linden, the Chatham, Madison and Florham Park side of Morris County is about 30 to 35 minutes by Route 24, Morristown about 40, Parsippany and Hanover 40 to 45, and Rockaway, Dover, Mount Olive, Lake Hopatcong and Budd Lake an hour or more.
Most towing listings avoid the question of distance. We would rather answer it, because a driver on the shoulder of Route 46 in Budd Lake plans differently from one in a Madison driveway.
Those times assume a truck leaving the yard with ordinary traffic. When a truck is already working in the county, the dispatcher quotes from that truck instead, and the wait can be much shorter.
The front door: Route 24 into Chatham, Madison and Florham Park
Route 24 runs from Springfield through Summit and straight into Chatham, so these towns are our shortest trips in Morris County. Main Street, Columbia Turnpike and the corporate campuses in Florham Park all fall in this first ring.
Plan on about 30 to 35 minutes from the yard in normal traffic.
The middle: Morristown, Hanover, Whippany and Parsippany
Route 24 meets I-287 at Morristown, and from there Route 10 and I-287 carry trucks north to Hanover, Whippany and the big interchange with I-80 in Parsippany. Morristown is roughly 40 minutes out, and Parsippany and Hanover about 40 to 45.
The far north and west: long runs and scheduled work
Denville, Rockaway, Dover, Montville, Kinnelon and Boonton sit farther up I-80, I-287 and Route 23. Mount Olive, Budd Lake and Lake Hopatcong are an hour or more from Linden.
We cover all of them, and we are candid that a planned pickup there works better than a rushed one. Many callers book those tows ahead for a set window.
Wherever you are, the price structure does not change with distance from Linden, because mileage is counted from your car to its destination. Only the arrival time does, and the dispatcher tells you that number before you commit.
Ask how far the nearest truck is. You will hear a real number, then decide.
Call the Morris County deskEmergency towing in Morris County, from the I-80 and I-287 interchange to the lake roads
In a Morris County emergency the dispatcher first gets you out of the traffic lane, then sends the closest company truck on the board and books it at the same $149 as any planned tow; if the scene is far west, she tells you the honest window so you can also ask police for help.
Emergencies in Morris County look different from those in denser counties. There are fast interstates, winding two-lane roads, long stretches without shoulders and icy hills by the lakes.
Your safety comes before any tow. Get away from moving traffic, then give the road, the direction and the last exit, business or landmark you passed.
Crashes where I-80 meets I-287 in Parsippany
The ramps around the interchange merge heavy truck traffic with commuters, and fender-benders stack up at rush hour. Once police clear the scene, tell the officer your own tow is coming. Our flatbed takes the car to the body shop you name, with photos for the claim.
Stalls on Route 10 and Route 46
Both roads mix fast lanes with store entrances, jughandles and short merges. If the car rolls, steer into a lot or side road. If not, hazards on and stand well off the pavement while the truck comes.
Slide-offs near the lakes and on the hills
Roads around Lake Hopatcong, Budd Lake, Kinnelon and the Mendham hills freeze early and put cars into ditches. Our driver carries a winch and chains. Because these spots are among our longest runs, the dispatcher gives the window plainly.
Route 24, I-287 and the county's other highways
Ramps, local roads and the numbered state routes are direct dispatch for our trucks. If State Police call their own rotation truck to a live interstate lane, ask that the car be dropped at a safe lot. We pick it up there and take it where you want.
Say emergency, and the closest truck on the board is assigned while you are on the phone. The fee stays the same.
Emergency dispatchWhat happens after you callThe towing and roadside jobs our trucks take on across Morris County
Across Morris County the fleet handles local and emergency towing, flatbed loads for AWD and electric cars, accident recovery, box trucks and buses on medium and heavy-duty units, winch-outs, motorcycles, long-distance trips, and the four roadside fixes that often save you a tow.
Town-to-town towing
A car that quit in Denville going to a mechanic in Rockaway, or a Chatham commuter car heading to a Route 10 dealer in East Hanover. Crossing a township line adds a few miles on the quote, nothing more.
Emergency towing
A lane blocked on Route 46, a car nosed into a guardrail on I-287, a crash at a Morristown light. The closest truck is sent while you are still talking to dispatch.
Flatbed towing
The county is full of all-wheel-drive SUVs and electric cars, and neither should be dragged on two wheels. A rollback lifts the whole car, including low sports cars and weekend classics.
Accident towing
Cleared from a Parsippany ramp or a Route 202 intersection, photographed for your insurer, and delivered to the shop you chose instead of a daily-rate storage yard.
Fleet, office park and warehouse work
Box trucks at the International Trade Center in Mount Olive, service vans along Route 10, shuttle buses at the Florham Park campuses. Medium and heavy-duty trucks, billed monthly for accounts.
Jump, tire, lockout, fuel
One flat price per job, no mileage. The Morristown and Madison station lots, the Rockaway Townsquare rows, a hospital garage, a frozen driveway in Randolph at six in the morning.
Winch out and recovery
Off a curve on a Kinnelon road, stuck on a soft shoulder by the Boonton Reservoir, sunk in a snowbank in Mount Olive. Pulled back onto pavement, and if it drives off, that is the bill.
Long distance towing
From anywhere in Morris County to the shore, the Poconos, upstate New York or a buyer several states away. One flatbed and one figure quoted up front, tolls included.
Each larger job has its own detailed page: emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, heavy duty towing and roadside assistance. Describe the problem on the phone and the dispatcher picks the right truck for you.
Not sure it needs a tow at all? Tell the dispatcher what the car is doing. The cheaper fix goes first.
Call (908) 666-3168Book online · $20 offTowing across Morris County in six regions, from the Route 24 towns to Mount Olive
The booking fee, the fleet and the dispatcher are the same in all six Morris County regions; what changes is the road from Linden, the drive time, and whether the usual call is a campus lockout, a highway crash, a mall-lot battery or a lake-road slide-off.
Each region below has its own page with the roads, landmarks and typical calls. They run roughly from closest to farthest from our yard, so the order also tells you how long a fresh truck needs.
Chatham, Madison and Florham Park
Route 24, Main Street, Columbia Turnpike, Drew University, the FDU Florham campus and the Florham Park office campuses. Our closest Morris County ground, about 30 to 35 minutes from Linden.
Morristown and Morris Township
The Green, Morristown Medical Center on Madison Avenue, the train station, Speedwell Avenue and the I-287 exits into town. The county seat, about 40 minutes out.
Parsippany, Hanover, East Hanover and Whippany
The I-80 and I-287 interchange, Route 46, Route 10, Route 202 and the office parks along Route 10 and Jefferson Road. About 40 to 45 minutes from the yard.
Denville, Rockaway and Dover
Route 46, Route 15, the I-80 exits, Rockaway Townsquare and the Saint Clare's hospitals. A run of an hour or more, which the dispatcher states up front.
Montville, Lincoln Park, Boonton and Kinnelon
Route 23, Route 202, I-287 north and the roads around the Boonton Reservoir. A longer run up the county's northeast side, often best booked ahead.
The western lakes and Mount Olive
Lake Hopatcong, Budd Lake, Route 206, Route 46 west, I-80 west and the International Trade Center. Our longest runs, handled as scheduled work wherever the situation allows.
Every region, the roads between them and the seven neighboring counties are on the service-area page.
Call (908) 666-3168Morris County service areaThe Morris County highways that fill our call log: I-80, I-287, Routes 10, 15, 23, 24, 46, 124, 202 and 206
I-80, I-287 and Routes 10, 15, 23, 24, 46, 124, 202 and 206 carry most of our Morris County calls, and every one of them, along with each county and town road, is direct dispatch for our trucks.
Route 24 and Route 124 from Chatham to Morristown
Route 24 is the freeway our trucks take into the county, and it runs past Chatham, Madison and Florham Park before meeting I-287. Route 124 is the older road beside it, Main Street through the downtowns and Madison Avenue into Morristown. Tell the dispatcher which one you are on, since they run close together.
I-287 from Harding to Kinnelon
I-287 climbs through Harding and Morristown, crosses I-80 in Parsippany, and continues north through Boonton, Montville and Kinnelon toward Passaic County. Shoulders are wide in places and missing in others. Give the exit number you just passed and your direction.
I-80 from Parsippany west to Mount Olive
I-80 crosses the county from the Passaic County line past Parsippany, Denville, Rockaway, Wharton and Roxbury to Budd Lake and the Warren line. It carries heavy freight and long grades. The western stretch is one of our longest runs, and the dispatcher says so.
Route 10 and Route 46 through the retail belts
Route 10 links East Hanover, Hanover, Whippany, Morris Plains, Parsippany and Randolph past office parks and plazas. Route 46 carries shoppers and trucks through Parsippany, Denville, Dover and west to Budd Lake. Both have store driveways every few hundred feet, so name the nearest business.
Route 202, Route 15 and Route 23
Route 202 winds from Harding through Morristown on Mount Kemble and Speedwell Avenues, then north through Parsippany, Montville and Lincoln Park. Route 15 runs north from Dover and Wharton toward Jefferson, and Route 23 crosses Kinnelon, Butler, Riverdale and Pequannock. Two-lane stretches mean the truck needs an exact spot.
Route 206 in the county's southwest
Route 206 passes through Chester and up to Netcong and the lake country, with long rural stretches between towns. Calls there are usually slide-offs, flats and dead batteries. It is far from Linden, so a scheduled window often serves you better than waiting on the shoulder.
On one of these roads right now? Get behind a guardrail if there is one, hazards on, then call. The dispatcher tells you where to wait.
Call from the roadWhat towing costs in Morris County: one booking fee for every town, mileage stated first
A tow anywhere in Morris County books at $149 by phone or $129 online, plus mileage from your car to the address you choose, stated before dispatch; each roadside job is one flat price, and the distance from our Linden yard is never on the bill.
A far-off county could be an excuse to charge more for the far-off towns. We do not do that. Budd Lake, Boonton and Chatham see the same booking fee printed here.
The time it takes us to reach Mount Olive is our cost, not yours. Your mileage starts where the car sits and ends where it is going.
| 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 moves the total
Where the car goes matters most: a garage in the same town is a few miles, a dealer across the county is more, and another state becomes a long-distance quote. The vehicle matters too, since AWD and electric cars ride a flatbed and box trucks or buses need a heavier unit.
Condition is the third factor. A car that rolls and steers loads quickly, while one in a ditch or locked in gear may need winching or dollies, priced before the driver starts.
What never appears on the receipt
No charge for the town, for its distance from Linden, or for the hour. No weekend, holiday or fuel surcharge on the miles.
No fee for a passenger in the cab, and no storage or release fee, because the car goes where you said.
The full list is on the prices page.
Ask for the total before a truck leaves. It is free and it is the same number at noon or at three in the morning.

Give the road and a landmark
Call (908) 666-3168, or book online for $129. The town helps, but the road, the direction and the nearest exit or business matter more. Say what the car is, what it is doing and where it should go.

Hear the price and the real window
The dispatcher adds the booking fee to the mileage and any recovery work, then reads the total. She also tells you how far the nearest truck is. If a jump, a spare or fuel will fix it, that is what she sends.

The truck calls on the way
It may leave the Linden yard or turn off a job already in the county. The driver calls when rolling and again when close. On a highway wait behind the barrier; in a lot, stay by the car.

Photos, delivery, receipt
The car is photographed before loading and after unloading, and you can ride in the cab. You get an itemized receipt at the destination, printed or emailed, in the format insurers ask for.
Four steps, whether you call from a Madison side street or the shoulder of I-80 near Budd Lake.

Call (908) 666-3168Plain-text facts pageWhat Morris County drivers ask before they book a tow
In short: every Morris County town is covered, the trucks come from Linden, the Route 24 towns are closest and the lakes farthest, the fee does not change by town, mileage is quoted first, and no membership is needed.
Is your towing company actually located in Morris County?
No, and we would rather tell you now than after you wait. Our trucks are dispatched from a yard in Linden, Union County. Route 24 brings them into Chatham and Madison in about half an hour, and farther towns take longer.
How long will a tow truck take to reach me in Morris County?
From the yard, about 30 to 35 minutes to Chatham, Madison or Florham Park, about 40 to Morristown, and 40 to 45 to Parsippany or Hanover. Rockaway, Dover, Mount Olive and the lakes are an hour or more. If a truck is already in the county, the dispatcher quotes from that one.
Do you cover all 39 towns, even the small ones like Victory Gardens or Mount Arlington?
Yes. Every municipality in Morris County dials the same number, (908) 666-3168, and gets the same price list. Small boroughs are covered exactly like Morristown or Parsippany.
Does a tow from Budd Lake or Lake Hopatcong cost more because it is far away?
No. The booking fee is the same in every town. Mileage is counted from your car to its destination, not from Linden, so a Budd Lake car going to a nearby garage keeps a short mileage line.
What does a tow cost in Morris County?
The booking fee is $149 by phone or $129 online, covering dispatch and hook-up. Mileage to your chosen address is added and read out before dispatch. Winching or dollies are quoted separately and only if needed.
Why is it cheaper to book online?
You enter the details the dispatcher would otherwise type in, and the $20 saved comes off your fee. The booking page suits planned tows; call if you are stranded.
Should I schedule a tow from the western part of the county instead of calling for one now?
If the car is safely parked, often yes. A booked window in Mount Olive, Roxbury or Jefferson means no waiting on a cold roadside. If you are stuck in traffic or unsafe, call now and we send the nearest truck.
Can you tow my car off I-80 or I-287?
Yes, ramps, shoulders and local roads at the exits are direct dispatch. If State Police have already called their own truck to a live lane, ask for the car to be left at a safe lot, and we take it from there.
Your question is not here? Ask the dispatcher. Someone in the county probably asked it this week.
Call (908) 666-3168The full FAQ pageSearching "towing near me" in Morris County? How near our trucks really are
Towing near me in Morris County means the closest company truck on the dispatch board at that moment; it may be a truck already working Route 10 or Route 24, or one leaving Linden, and the dispatcher tells you which before you agree.
A "towing near me" search from a Morris County road can list companies from four counties. The honest question to ask each one is where its truck is right now.
Here is how near ours tend to be, region by region, in plain numbers.
Near Chatham, Madison and Florham Park
About 30 to 35 minutes from the yard via Route 24, and quicker when a truck is already in the area. This is the corner of Morris County we reach most often.
Near Morristown, Morris Plains, Hanover and Parsippany
About 40 minutes to Morristown and 40 to 45 to Parsippany and Hanover. Trucks on their way to or from the northern towns often pass right through here.
Near Denville, Rockaway, Dover, Boonton and Montville
An hour or so from Linden. The dispatcher looks for a truck already north of Route 10 before quoting, and offers a booked window if that works better for you.
Near Mount Olive, Budd Lake and Lake Hopatcong
An hour or more, sometimes longer in snow or summer lake traffic. We still come, and we will not dress the wait up as shorter than it is.
Ask how far the closest truck is. The dispatcher can see it and will tell you.

Call nowBook onlineWhy Morris County drivers call a towing dispatcher that tells them the real drive time
Because a stranded driver in Madison, Morristown or Parsippany plans better with a true window than a hopeful one, and because one dispatcher at {{phone}} can see every truck on the board, including the one already working near Route 10 or I-287, and send whichever is closest.
Our trucks start from Linden in Union County. Route 24 brings the Chatham and Madison side within about half an hour, Morristown in about forty minutes, and the lake country in an hour or more. Book online and the booking fee is $129 instead of $149; the service area maps every region and the prices page lists every charge that can appear.
