Three I-81 Exits in Under Three Miles
Heavy Duty Towing in Maugansville is mostly an I-81 job. Maugansville is a census-designated place in Washington County with 3,669 residents (2020) and ZIP code 21767. Three I-81 exits sit within about two and a half miles of each other here, and the freight road US 11 runs alongside. We tow and recover semis, buses, RVs, box trucks and equipment, and dispatch answers 24/7. Call (240) 730-4539 or
.Know your exit
I-81 Exit 8 is Maugansville Road, and it works only as a southbound exit and a northbound entrance. Exit 9 is Maugans Avenue. Exit 10 is Showalter Road for Hagerstown Regional Airport, signed 10A east and 10B west. Exit 7 is MD 58 (Salem Avenue) to Cearfoss and Hagerstown. Because Exit 8 has no northbound exit, a northbound driver who needs off at Maugansville Road has to leave at Exit 9 or Exit 10 and come back. If you are unsure which exit you passed, send us the last sign you read.
Middleburg Pike and the Volvo plant
US 11 north of Hagerstown is Middleburg Pike. It passes a Volvo plant, which Volvo describes as a 1.5 million square foot campus building engines, transmissions and axles for Mack and Volvo trucks and Prevost coaches, with about 1,400 employees. Beyond the plant, US 11 runs through a tunnel under the extended runway of Hagerstown Regional Airport, then crosses into Pennsylvania just south of PA 163. We recover trucks on Middleburg Pike and the surrounding streets, and a tunnel call takes extra planning.
Near the Pennsylvania line
I-81 reaches the Pennsylvania state line 12.08 miles from the Potomac. The exit-number system changes at PA 163 (Mason Dixon Road), where the exit is numbered 1 because it follows Pennsylvania's mileage. A truck stopped near the state line may be in Maryland or Pennsylvania, so give us the last exit number you saw and which way you are heading. Maryland counted 43,771 vehicles a day in 2010 on the segment from Showalter Road to PA 163, the quietest part of I-81 in the state, but a stopped tractor-trailer is a hazard at any count.
The airport next door
Hagerstown Regional Airport sits about five miles north of Hagerstown, half a mile from the Pennsylvania border, with a 7,000-foot main runway. Trucks serving the airport use the same Showalter Road exit as everyone else.
Heat, cold and the farmland between exits
The land around Maugansville is open at 607 feet, and on a winter night a stalled truck on I-81 is exposed to wind. Hagerstown's January mean is 32.9 degrees, and the record low is minus 27 on January 13, 1912. Keep your hazards on, stay in the cab if you are near live traffic and tell the dispatcher how long you have been stopped.
