At Nick’s Towing Service, our team is equipped to handle a wide range of heavy-duty towing and recovery needs—from tractor trailers and buses to RVs and commercial vehicles. Every call requires careful planning, skilled operators, and the capability to get the job done safely and efficiently.

Ready 24/7

Stay Focused Behind the Wheel

A Reminder During Distracted Driving Awareness Month

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month—a time to take a step back and think about the habits we bring with us every time we get behind the wheel. At Nick’s Towing Service, we’re often called in after the fact—when a moment of distraction has already turned into a problem on the road. It’s a perspective that reinforces just how quickly situations can change.

What We See Every Day

Whether it’s a minor incident or a more serious situation, many calls share a common theme: attention was pulled away, even briefly. In those moments, the margin for error disappears. For drivers, it’s not always about major distractions—it’s the small ones that add up. A quick glance, a split-second decision, or a task that could have waited.

A Simple Reminder That Matters

This month is a chance to reset and refocus. Staying present behind the wheel protects not just you, but everyone else on the road—including the responders who show up when things go wrong. At Nick’s Towing Service, we’re always ready to help when needed—but we’d much rather see drivers arrive safely without needing us at all.

Local Mayor Praises Nick’s Towing for Service to the Community

A Carlstadt Incident Highlights the Dangers of Roadside work.

Last month, while assisting at an accident scene in Carlstadt, one of our tow operators was injured when a vehicle owner ran over his foot while fleeing the scene of an impound and arrest. He was treated onsite for minor injuries and is thankfully safe and doing well. Incidents like this highlight the risks roadside professionals face while helping keep traffic moving and supporting law enforcement during emergency situations. We are proud of our team’s professionalism in high-risk environments and grateful for the recognition from Mayor Ron Kistner, whose message is featured above, acknowledging the service we provide to our local communities.

Blizzard Warning Remains in Effect Until 6 PM

If you must travel, allow extra time, reduce speed, and stay alert.

Winter Recoveries That Keep Roads Safer

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 19:24:58 GMT

Winter’s Worst Conditions Meet Nick’s Towing Service’s Best Efforts

With historic snowfall impacting the region and more winter weather forecasted in the coming days, it’s a strong reminder of how quickly road conditions can become dangerous. Snow, ice, and limited visibility increase the chances of vehicles leaving the roadway, creating situations that require experienced recovery teams and the right equipment. This recovery is a great example of the challenges winter driving can bring. On this snowy day, Walter handled a difficult off-road recovery with assistance from Marcus after a vehicle left the roadway and traveled nearly 150 feet before coming to rest in a construction fence. Jobs like this demand careful planning, teamwork, and precision, especially when terrain and weather add extra risk. As winter continues, there will be more situations like these. The team at Nick’s Towing Service remains ready to respond 24/7, working tirelessly to provide reliable towing and recovery services in all types of winter conditions. Watch this recovery here and be sure to check out our TikTok page for more real-world videos that show the work our team does to help keep drivers safe when the roads turn unforgiving.

When Low Clearances Create High-Stakes Recoveries

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 15:30:40 GMT

Recovery Done Right

When a reefer truck struck a low bridge and became stuck sideways—with one side of its wheels completely off the ground—Nick’s Towing Service was called in to handle a challenging and potentially dangerous recovery. The truck was wedged beneath the bridge at an angle, requiring a careful, methodical approach to avoid further damage and ensure everyone’s safety. Anthony and Danny led the operation, supported by Malik, as the team strategically rigged the unit using our heavy-duty wreckers. Through precise winching, clear communication, and coordinated teamwork, the crew was able to safely bring the truck back down onto all four wheels and guide it out from under the bridge. Once the recovery was complete, the team prepped the unit for towing and handled full scene cleanup to ensure the roadway was cleared quickly and reopened safely for traffic. Situations like these highlight the importance of experience, proper equipment, and a team that knows how to work seamlessly under pressure. Another successful recovery completed by the Nick’s Towing team.

Slow Down. Move Over. Save Lives.

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 18:45:04 GMT

October Is Slow Down, Move Over Awareness Month

October is Slow Down, Move Over Awareness Month — a time to honor and protect the men and women who work daily on our roadsides. From t owing operators and emergency responders to utility crews and roadside service teams , these professionals risk their lives every time they step out to help others along the white line.

Why Moving Over Matters

All 50 states have Move Over Laws requiring drivers to slow down and change lanes when approaching emergency or service vehicles stopped on the roadside. But this law is more than just a rule — it’s an act of respect and compassion. It’s about protecting those who protect us. Every time you move over, you create a safer space for those working in dangerous conditions. One small action behind the wheel can prevent tragedy and save lives.

A Simple Act of Humanity

At Nick’s Towing , we’ve seen firsthand how critical this awareness is. Our team works around the clock to assist drivers in need, often just feet from fast-moving traffic. We ask every driver to remember: slowing down and moving over isn’t just courteous — it’s the right thing to do.

Help Spread the Word

We invite you to watch and share this powerful video that highlights what’s truly at stake for roadside workers across the country.
Together, we can raise awareness, inspire safer driving habits, and save lives — one driver, one moment, and one move at a time.

School Bus Tow = School Zone Reminder!

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 14:26:18 GMT

Safety Isn’t Seasonal — It’s Every Day

Our good friend Anthony D. captured this great shot of one of our crews towing a school bus — thanks, Anthony!

With the new school year in full swing, it's the perfect moment to brush up on school zone safety. Whether you're commuting, carpooling, or behind the wheel of a tow truck, these reminders matter:

Slow down in school zones
Watch for crossing guards and young pedestrians
Allow extra time during the morning and afternoon rush

And as the seasons shift, keep in mind, f allen leaves can be just as slick as ice when wet. Whether you're on two wheels or four, take it slow and stay in control on leaf-covered roads. Let’s all do our part to keep New Jersey’s roads safe — for students, families, and everyone who shares the streets.

At Nick’s Towing Service, we tow just about everything — from box trucks and flatbeds to, yep, even a van full of Factor meals.

Our crew is equally equipped (and experienced) to handle heavy-duty towing, recovery jobs, construction equipment, and everything in between. Whether it’s a sleek show car or a massive industrial rig, we approach every tow with precision, safety, and customer care as our top priorities.

Happy Retirement to Billy Bahr!

Billy’s last day with us was April 2nd, after an incredible 25 years of service. For many years, Billy was the King of the 20' shipping container delivery and also ran a heavy-duty wrecker with unmatched skill. To put it into perspective, Billy drove truck #45 – and now we’re up to truck #126! His easy-going, can-do attitude has been a huge part of what made our team feel like family.
