Call came in at 5 a.m. on a king tide — a sedan sitting in a foot of salt water on Morrissey Boulevard by UMass, owner on the curb in flip-flops. That's a flatbed job, not a hook. Rest of the week's ordinary: dead batteries on Savin Hill Ave, lockouts at Fields Corner, tires killed by the craters Dot Ave grows after a freeze-thaw.
Triple-decker driveways are the other half of it. Barely wider than the car, so we winch out to the street instead of forcing the truck in. Same around Codman Square and Uphams Corner. Stuck on I-93 near the Savin Hill curve? Give us a direction and a mile marker — that stretch looks identical in the dark.
Getting a truck into a Dorchester driveway
My car flooded on Morrissey Boulevard. Can you still tow it?
Yes, on a flatbed, so the wheels never turn. Don't try starting it — that's what turns a dry-out into an engine replacement.
Can you reach a car parked behind a triple-decker?
Usually. Narrow driveways off Ashmont and Neponset are routine. Tell dispatch the width and whether anything's parked behind you.
