Roadside truck repair around Utica, 24/7

First, get safe

1. Pull as far onto the shoulder as you can. Flashers on.
2. Set out your warning triangles. On a divided highway like the Thruway: about 10, 100 and 200 feet behind the truck. On a two-lane road: 10 feet and 100 feet behind, and 100 feet ahead. Go farther back if a hill or curve hides the truck.
3. Stay off the travel lane side of the truck.
4. Note the mile marker and direction (eastbound or westbound), or the street and nearest cross street.

Then call or send a request

Call (315) 922-9680, or send your location and the problem with the roadside request form. It works on a phone and can share your location so nobody has to guess where you are.
