I-695 heavy duty towing zones - Baltimore Beltway
I-695 is the freeway around Baltimore’s north, west, and east sides. Nearly every truck moving freight through the region touches it. Priority’s closest yard is here: 9325 Liberty Rd, Randallstown, on MD-26, which meets the beltway at Exit 18. GPS dispatch, Wreckmaster-certified operators, Landoll and RGN 35 ton class, EFS / ComChek / T-Check, free quotes, same-day service when the job allows.
Jump to zones by interchange. Say inner or outer loop and the last exit when you call - that is what gets the right unit on the right approach.
