Where it runs
I-20 crosses the whole south side of the metro. It comes in from Weatherford, passes Benbrook, forms the southern arc of the loop around Fort Worth, and keeps going east through Arlington, Grand Prairie, Duncanville and southern Dallas before meeting I-635 and leaving through Mesquite.
Where cars get stuck
This is a main freight corridor, and the distribution centers of southern Dallas County keep heavy trucks in every lane. Big interchanges with I-35W, US-67, I-35E and I-45 bring heavy merging, and a car stalled near one of those ramps sits right where traffic is changing lanes.
If you stop here
- If the car still drives, get clear of the ramps, and take the next exit if you can reach it.
- Hazards on, seat belt on, doors locked; trucks pass close on I-20.
- Don't change a flat on the shoulder here. Wait in the car or roll slowly to the exit.
- Never stand beside the car on the traffic side; passing trucks push a strong gust of wind.
- Tell dispatch eastbound or westbound and the exit number or cross street on the nearest sign.
What we fix on the shoulder
Service prices; one dispatch fee is added per job.
Questions
01Is I-20 south of Fort Worth the same as Loop 820?
Officially that southern part of the loop is I-20, but plenty of Fort Worth drivers still call it Loop 820. Either name is fine; just add which city you're near and your direction.
02Can you replace my battery on the I-20 shoulder?
We bring the battery and install it where the car is, but on a busy shoulder the technician may first jump the car so you can drive to the next exit or a lot. If it won't move at all, stay inside with hazards on until the technician gets there.
