Corridor Response
Heavy Duty Towing on the Taconic State Parkway
24/7 heavy-duty response from Putnam Valley, NY.
Trucks Are Not Allowed on the Taconic. They End Up There Anyway.
Commercial vehicles are prohibited on the Taconic State Parkway, and the restriction is actively enforced — in a two-day operation at the end of July 2026, New York State Police issued 114 citations to commercial drivers on the parkway.
It happens anyway, mostly because satellite navigation does not know the difference between a parkway and a highway. A box truck or tractor-trailer follows the route it was given, and by the time the driver realizes, the problems have already started compounding.
The Taconic was laid out in the 1930s for cars. It has narrow shoulders, tight curves and low stone overpasses that a loaded truck cannot clear. Getting a commercial vehicle off it is not the same job as a highway recovery: there is often nowhere to stage, nowhere to turn, and no room to work beside live traffic.
We remove commercial vehicles from the Taconic across Putnam and Westchester — whether the truck is stuck, disabled, wedged under an overpass or simply cannot legally continue.
What We Handle on the Taconic
- Removal of commercial vehicles that cannot legally continue on the parkway
- Box trucks and tractor-trailers misrouted by GPS
- Overpass strikes and vehicles wedged under low clearances
- RV and motorhome recovery — oversized vehicles restricted from the parkway
- Bus recovery
- Off-road and embankment winch-outs where there is no shoulder to work from
- Accident recovery and scene clearance
If you are a driver who has realized too late that you should not be on the parkway, call 845-603-6900. Getting you off safely is a routine job for us and a dangerous one to improvise.
