New York’s Move Over Law requires drivers to shift lanes or slow down for a stopped tow truck showing amber lights, and since 2023 that protection extends to any vehicle stopped on the shoulder, not just marked emergency responders working the scene. MGD Towing provides Highway Towing Services in Nassau County, NY built around that exact reality: getting a disabled vehicle off an active roadway fast, safely, and in a way that actually protects everyone still moving past it at highway speed.
WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?
A highway breakdown is a genuinely different job than a driveway call, since the vehicle itself isn’t the only thing at real risk in that particular high-speed situation on the road. MGD Towing runs four services from one dispatch line across Nassau County: general towing, roadside fixes, lockouts, and highway recovery specifically built around live traffic conditions. Whichever situation you’re in, the crew that responds knows the difference between a quiet street and a parkway shoulder.
Our Towing Services and Tow Truck in Nassau County handles everyday calls away from the highway too: a dead car in a driveway, a fender-bender clearing from a parking lot, a vehicle that won’t start outside a store somewhere local. Same trucks, same dispatch line as our highway crew, so the response doesn’t slow down just because the situation is routine.
A dead battery or flat tire on the shoulder doesn’t always require a tow truck. Our Roadside Assistance Services crew tries the fix first, jumps the battery, swaps the tire, and drops a gallon of gas right there on the shoulder when it’s actually safe to do so. If the car still won’t move, the same driver calls in the tow, so you’re not waiting on a second truck.
Lockedout services while a highway tow is already being arranged for your vehicle nearby on a busy shoulder somewhere? Every truck carries lockout tools, so a second problem on the same call gets solved on the spot instead of a separate visit later on. A fob, a chip key, or an older manual lock, the same driver handles it before the winch ever runs.
Getting a disabled vehicle off the LIE, Northern State, or Southern State using our Highway Towing Services means working inside the same Move Over Law protections that apply to us. We set out cones and flares, approach from the traffic side, and coordinate with state and county police depending on which road the call is actually on so the lane clears as fast and safely as possible.
LEARN MORE ABOUT US
MGD Towing runs highway-equipped trucks across Nassau County, staffed by drivers trained specifically for live-shoulder work, not just general towing. New York’s Move Over Law protects us on scene the same way it protects state troopers and DOT crews, and we train drivers to work inside that protection rather than assume it. We know which Nassau parkways run narrow shoulders and which stretches genuinely need a second truck to hold the lane.
A breakdown on a live Nassau highway is a worse spot to be stuck than almost anywhere else, and it deserves a response built for exactly that risk. Our Tow Truck Service in Nassau County prioritizes highway calls, stages trucks near major corridors, and trains every driver on scene safety before they’re ever sent to one. Upfront pricing, confirmed before the truck rolls, no matter how urgent the call is.
Drivers trained specifically for live-shoulder work, not general towing. Cones and flares on every highway call. Coordination with police as needed.
Trucks staged near Nassau’s major parkways mean a faster response when every extra minute on the shoulder is a real safety risk to you.
Broken down where the shoulder is narrow or traffic won’t slow down? That’s exactly the kind of call our highway-trained drivers handle every day.
Drivers who set up the scene properly before touching your vehicle, work fast without cutting corners on safety, and explain the plan clearly.
A highway call is the one drivers remember, since it’s the one where a slow or careless response actually mattered most. We’ve built our Nassau County reputation on showing up fast and setting up the scene right, cones out, drivers working from the traffic side in. Commuters stuck on the LIE at rush hour, drivers caught on a parkway shoulder with nowhere else to pull over: the calls keep coming back because the job gets handled safely. Our Highway Towing Services in Nassau County keep earning that trust.
Stuck on a Nassau highway shoulder right now? Call (516) 808-8563 and a dispatcher will confirm your exact location, mile marker, or nearest exit and send a Highway Tow Truck in Nassau County built for exactly that kind of call. Stay in your vehicle with your seatbelt on if it’s safe to do so, and let us handle getting you off the road entirely and safely from there. We’ll give you a real arrival time, not a guess, and we’ll be working from the traffic side the moment we get there.
