The BQE between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Verrazzano has some of the narrowest shoulders in the city. Pulling onto one is uncomfortable but possible; getting out and walking around your vehicle is dangerous.

Stay in the car with seatbelts on. Hazards on. If you have a passenger, exit on the non-traffic side. Tell dispatch where you are by exit number — that's faster than cross-streets.

Standard $99/hr rate. We stage trucks at multiple points along the BQE, typical arrival 15–30 minutes.
