Heavy Towing Service Areas Along Maryland Highways

                                    

 

Interstate 95 Heavy Towing Zones:

Columbia Fleet Service offers northbound and southbound heavy duty towing along this corridor:

Exit 38A-B – MD-32 (Fort Meade / Columbia)

  • Intersection: MD-32 west to Columbia / MD-32 east to Fort Meade and NSA
  • Nearest Fuel: TA Baltimore South, 7401 Assateague Drive, Baltimore, MD 21227 — 24 hours, 436 truck parking spaces, 9 diesel lanes, CAT scales
  • Interchange sits in Savage, Howard County — roughly 4 miles from our Jessup yard
  • Common issues: heavy Fort Meade / NSA commuter volume at shift change compounds any lane blockage; MD-32 carries steady commercial traffic toward Columbia

Exit 41A-B – MD-175 (Jessup / Columbia)

  • Intersection: MD-175 to Jessup and Columbia
  • Nearest truck services: TA Baltimore South, 7401 Assateague Drive, Baltimore, MD 21227 — 24 hours, 436 truck parking spaces, 9 diesel lanes, 19 showers, CAT scales, DOT inspections (410-799-3835)
  • This is our home exit. Columbia Fleet Service is on the same street as the TA at 7661 Assateague Drive, which makes Exit 41 our fastest response anywhere on I-95
  • Common issues: the highest concentration of parked and manoeuvring heavy trucks on this stretch of I-95; low-speed lot damage, tyre failures and no-starts are routine here

Exit 43A-B – MD-100 (Glen Burnie / Ellicott City)

  • Intersection: MD-100 east to Glen Burnie / MD-100 west to Ellicott City
  • Nearest Fuel: TA Baltimore South, 7401 Assateague Drive, Baltimore, MD 21227 — 24 hours, 436 truck parking spaces, 9 diesel lanes, CAT scales
  • Interchange sits in Elkridge, Howard County
  • Common issues: MD-100 feeds distribution and warehouse traffic on both sides of I-95; merge conflicts where heavy vehicles join at speed

Exit 57 – Baltimore (O’Donnell Street area)

  • Nearest truck services: TA Baltimore, I-95 Exit 57 — 181 truck parking spaces
  • Common issues: last full-service truck stop before the Fort McHenry Tunnel northbound; over-height vehicles discovering the 14′-6″ tunnel limit turn around here

I-95 / I-495 overlap (Prince George’s County)

  • I-95 and I-495 run concurrently around the eastern half of the Capital Beltway; the overlap ends at Exit 27 in College Park where I-95 splits north toward Baltimore
  • Nearest Fuel: No confirmed truck-accessible fuel within roughly a mile of this interchange — nearest verified stop is off-corridor
  • Common issues: drivers unfamiliar with the split miss the I-95 north departure and end up committed to the Beltway

I-95 / I-695 interchanges (Baltimore County)

  • I-695 Exit 11A-B on the southwest side near Arbutus, and I-695 Exit 33 at Rossville on the northeast side (fully directional, reconstructed 2014)

Exit 24 – Greenbelt Metro Station
