About Route 28
Route 28 crosses the valley at Herkimer and Mohawk: north into the Adirondacks toward Old Forge, and south through Richfield Springs and Cooperstown to Oneonta.
Where to say you are
Say the nearest village or hamlet and which way you were heading. In the Adirondacks, cell signal is patchy, so call from where you have it and say how far you walked or drove from the truck.
Call (315) 922-9680 with the road you are on, the direction, the nearest exit, mile marker or cross street, what the truck is doing, and whether you are somewhere safe. The dispatcher tells you on the call when a truck can be there.
What can be fixed where the truck is
When the truck cannot come to the shop, a mechanic comes to the truck: on the shoulder, in a parking lot, at your yard or on a job site. Battery jumps and replacement, tire changes, fuel delivery, air leaks, lights and wiring, belts and hoses, lockouts and other repairs that can be done safely where the truck is. If it needs a lift or a part that takes time to get, the same call arranges a tow to the shop.

Common trouble on Route 28
Out of town, call before the truck is somewhere awkward if you can: a tow from a wide shoulder is quicker and safer than one from a narrow back road.
Farm, logging and hauling trucks on rural roads come in with steering and suspension wear, air system leaks, wiring chafed through by road salt and gravel, and lights that quit.
Questions
Do you cover all of Route 28?
The parts nearest the shop are quick to reach. Farther out, the dispatcher tells you on the call whether a truck can reach you in reasonable time, or whether a closer shop makes more sense.
How much does a tow cost?
It depends on the truck and the distance. The cost of any service is agreed with you before work starts, on the phone.
What can be fixed at the roadside?
Batteries, tires, fuel, air lines and fittings, lights and wiring, belts and hoses, lockouts and other repairs that can be done safely where the truck is. Bigger work goes to the shop.
