Your personal pit crew is ready to help

Sure, you've seen them on the road, but perhaps you've never had the pleasure (or is that mishap?) of meeting them in person. Adorned with the Department of Transportation (DOT) logo and the words Road Ranger emblazoned on the side of their well-equipped pickup trucks, five Road Rangers patrol Florida's Turnpike and the Sawgrass Expressway in South Florida seven days a week from 6-10 a.m. and again from 4-8 p.m. assisting motorists in distress. Two additional Road Rangers are located in the Orlando area.

Rush hour patrols
This FREE program began in 1999, with rangers patrolling from mile post zero in Miami to mile post 99 in West Palm Beach, and mile post 237 in Kissimmee to mile post 285 in Clermont. They also patrol the 24-mile Sawgrass Expressway in South Florida. The helpful Road Rangers follow specific routes and stop at every disabled vehicle, doing whatever it takes to help you get back on the road again. Road Rangers typically assist motorists with flat tires, gas refills and minor repairs. However, the Florida Highway Patrol also calls Road Rangers to assist with traffic accidents and to remove hazardous debris from the roads.

Service with a smile
All Road Rangers on Florida's Turnpike are employees of Martin Petroleum and are based at Florida's Turnpike Service Plaza Citgo® stations. Each truck is equipped with gasoline, tools, radio communications, a cell phone, emergency lights, safety cones and flares. You can identify Road Rangers by their racing-style uniform and their hats with the DOT and Turnpike logos. Tips are not accepted but a word of thanks is always welcomed. If, one day, you happen to be stuck on the road, give *F-H-P a call and you could meet a friendly Road Ranger, too.
