How the interstates fit together

I-95 runs north–south straight through Jacksonville. I-10 begins downtown at I-95 and heads west toward Baldwin, Lake City and Tallahassee. I-295 is the beltway: its west side runs past the Westside industrial district and its east and north sides cross the St. Johns River near JAXPORT before rejoining I-95 north of the airport. Florida exit numbers follow mileposts, so I-95 exits in Duval County run in the 330s–360s, I-10 exits near downtown are in the 350s–360s, and I-295 restarts at its own low numbers.

Where the truck shops are

Most of the heavy-duty dealers and wreckers sit on the Westside, between I-10 and the west leg of I-295: Rush Truck Centers and Southern Wrecker & Recovery on West Beaver Street (US-90), Tom Nehl off Edgewood Ave near I-10 Exit 358, and Kenworth, Cumberland International and Thermo King of North Florida along Pickettville Rd and Suemac Rd near I-295 Exits 22–25. Northpoint Truck Center is near I-10 Exits 360–361 close to downtown. On the northside, ASAP Towing and Southern Crane & Wrecker are close to I-95 Exits 354–355.

JAXPORT and the northside

JAXPORT's Blount Island and Dames Point terminals are on the north bank of the St. Johns River, reached from I-295 and Heckscher Drive. Rush Truck Centers – Jacksonville East on New Berlin Rd and the Mr. Fuel on Zoo Pkwy (I-295 Exit 41) are the closest listings to that side of the port. Inside a terminal gate, an outside mechanic or wrecker usually needs a TWIC card — ask before they roll.

If you break down

Pull as far right as you can, flashers on, triangles out. Florida's Move Over law requires drivers to move over or slow down for stopped vehicles with hazard lights, but don't rely on it. If you're in a travel lane or blocking the bridge approaches, call 911 or the Florida Highway Patrol (*FHP) first, then a wrecker.
