D&J Towing covers towing in Conifer, CO around the clock, from the four-lane stretch of US 285 to the private drives off Pleasant Park Road. Our trucks run from the Evergreen yard, and CO 73 links the two towns directly.
Conifer sits about 2,000 feet above the bottom of the 285 climb at CO 8, so the road, the weather and the trouble change as you go up. Pick the stretch you are on to see what we run into there and what to tell dispatch.
The bottom of the run. US 285 drops from the 8,000-foot range to roughly 6,200 feet where it meets CO 8, after a long descent toward the metro.
Calls we get here
Near Doublehead Mountain the highway runs a 7% grade, and truckers are advised to use lower gears through the canyon. Going up, engines and transmissions work hard. Coming down, the brakes do.
Calls we get here
US 285 runs as a four-lane expressway here, with overpasses and right-in, right-out turns in place of cross traffic. CDOT puts mile point 242 near Aspen Park, which is a handy marker to give us.
Calls we get here
CO 73 comes in from Evergreen and meets US 285 here, and Pleasant Park Road ends at the highway. Off the main roads, side roads and private drives climb into the trees.
Calls we get here
The high point of this run, near the top of a hill, and the first traffic light on US 285 in the foothills. Past it the highway drops off Crow Hill toward Bailey.
Calls we get here
A commuter highway at this height shapes the work. These are the jobs that keep our phones busy here, and how each one goes.
A car that slid into a ditch or spun out halfway up a driveway often does not need a tow at all. Our winch-out service pulls it back onto solid ground so you can drive away, and we hook it only if something is damaged.
Traffic on the expressway moves fast and the shoulders are not wide everywhere. If you stall on 285, get clear of the lane if you can, turn on your hazards and call. Our 24/7 emergency towing covers nights, weekends and storms.
Box trucks, work trucks, campers and semis feel the canyon grade first. When a big unit stops between Morrison and Conifer, our heavy-duty towing crews handle it with WreckMaster and I-TECC certified operators.
Cold mornings at this elevation are hard on batteries, and long drives on rough side roads are hard on tires. Our roadside assistance covers jump starts, battery installs, tire changes and lockouts, so a small problem stays small.

Short answers to the questions we hear on Conifer calls. Anything else, dispatch can answer on the phone.
Our yard is at 30495 Bryant Dr in Evergreen. Trucks reach Conifer by CO 73 or US 285, and your vehicle can go to your shop, your home, or our yard.
Yes. Those roads and the private drives off them are inside our foothills coverage. Give dispatch the road name, the house number, and whether the drive is plowed.
Get as far right as you safely can, turn on your hazard lights and call. Tell dispatch whether you were climbing or descending, what you are towing and whether it is loaded, so the right truck comes the first time. If you are blocking a lane, call 911 first.
Call dispatch any hour. Tell us where you are on the climb, what you are driving and how it sits, and we will send the right truck from Evergreen. For a planned tow or a fleet account, use our contact page.
