I-95 between Baltimore and the Capital Beltway
I-95 is Maryland’s main north-south freight route, and the stretch south of Baltimore toward Washington is where a breakdown can cost the most time. Priority Towing and Recovery covers it with heavy duty towing, mobile diesel repair, and equipment hauling, 24/7. Call (240) 780-8691 and name the nearest exit.
There is no Priority office in Laurel or Prince George’s County. This corridor is served by dispatch, with trucks sent from Priority’s Maryland locations; Columbia is just west of the highway. Shop diesel repair is at the Randallstown yard, 9325 Liberty Rd.

Truck problems we see on this corridor
Long hauls and stop-and-go traffic produce a predictable set of calls. Brake and tire failures, DPF regens that cannot finish in congested traffic, overheating, and air-system leaks all show up. Many of them can be handled by a mobile diesel mechanic where the truck sits. Start with mobile diesel mechanic, DPF derate repair, or truck road service.
When the truck cannot be fixed on the shoulder, the same ticket moves to a heavy wrecker: semi truck towing in Maryland. For equipment and disabled units that have to be hauled, see Landoll trailer towing and RGN heavy haul towing.
The Baltimore–Washington Parkway runs close to I-95 but heavy trucks generally stay off it, so truck breakdowns are on I-95, US-1, and the Beltway.
