What breaks down on US-29
Between the beltway and Columbia, US-29 mixes trucks with heavy commuter traffic, and at Columbia it feeds the business parks and distribution yards of Howard County. Delivery trucks, box trucks, and contractor rigs account for many calls: overheating, electrical faults, DPF and DEF derates, and air leaks.
A mobile diesel mechanic can repair many of those where the truck sits. See DPF derate repair, truck road service, and the guide what a DPF derate means. Our in-house diesel techs use dealer-level diagnostics.
When a tow is needed, see semi truck towing in Maryland. Equipment and disabled units go by Landoll or RGN. The heavy duty page covers recovery.
Reaching Prince George’s County from US-29
South of Columbia, US-29 leads to Prince George’s County by way of MD-198, or by I-95 and the Beltway. Priority has no office in Laurel; the Columbia office is the nearest.
Inside Columbia, the local exits (Seneca Drive and Shaker Drive at Exit 17, Broken Land Parkway at Exit 18) lead to Town Center, Oakland Mills, and Owen Brown. If your truck is parked at a business park or distribution yard rather than on the highway, give dispatch the street address and the building or gate, and say whether the truck is blocked in. Many of these calls are a mobile diesel mechanic job rather than a tow.
Priority accepts EFS, ComChek, and T-Check and has 47 reviews on PreferredMechanic. Quotes are free. Call 911 first if the truck is a hazard.
