24 hour towing on I-280 in East Orange, NJ: the ramps, Freeway Drive and the stretch between the Parkway and Orange
I-280 runs through the middle of East Orange below street level, beside the rail line, from the Parkway interchange at Exit 145 to the Orange line. At 2 a.m. it is fast, dark and nearly empty, which is exactly when a car that quits there needs help quickly.
Breaking down on I-280 in East Orange at 2 a.m.: what to do and how we get to you
I-280 through East Orange is a direct dispatch for us: tell the dispatcher your direction and the last ramp, stay behind the barrier, and a truck comes up the Parkway to Exit 145 and onto the interstate, for the same $149 flat booking fee, or $129 when you book online.
Eastbound and westbound shoulders
Shoulders through the trench are narrow and some stretches are poorly lit. If the car still moves, get it to the next ramp or onto Freeway Drive where there is more room.
Dead where it sits? Flashers on, exit through the passenger door and climb behind the guardrail.
The Oraton Parkway, Harrison Street and Clinton Street ramps
The ramps are where many cars give up, on the climb or at the light at the top. Tell the dispatcher which ramp and which direction.
The truck comes in from the street end of the ramp so it can load without blocking the interstate.
Freeway Drive
Freeway Drive runs alongside I-280 as a frontage road, and it is the safest place to wait if the car can reach it. Loading here is quicker and calmer than on the interstate shoulder.
Tell us whether you are on the north or south frontage and the closest overpass.
The Parkway interchange at Exit 145
Where I-280 meets the Garden State Parkway, the ramps belong to two different roads. On I-280 and its ramps we dispatch directly.
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.

Yes. I-280 is a direct dispatch for us. Tell the dispatcher your direction and the last ramp you passed, and wait behind the barrier.
