As a real estate professional, you spend a great deal of time on highways visiting properties and various areas with clients.  Since car troubles can crop up unexpectedly, keep the HERO (Highway Emergency Response Operator) contact number in your car in case you find yourself in need of assistance on a metro Atlanta highway: 404-635-8000 (Georgia Navigator contact number, just stay on the line to speak to an operator and request HERO assistance).

The HERO Unit is operated by the Georgia Department of Transportation and Georgia Navigator.  HERO units continuously travel metro Atlanta interstates to clear the highways following a traffic incident and help restore normal traffic flow. If you are in a wreck on the highway or your car stalls, it is likely that a HERO unit will arrive quickly on the scene.

HERO vehicles are equipped with a variety of materials to meet almost any road situation:  push bumpers, fuel transfer tanks, jump starting systems, hand tools, first aid supplies, halogen flood lamps, air compressors, P.A. System, and more.  The HERO Unit can handle changing a flat tire, providing small quantities of fuel, jump starting vehicles, minor mechanical repair, relocating stalled vehicles from hazardous locations, and transporting stranded motorists.

HERO Responders have been trained to handle most on-the-road emergencies, and are usually the first responder to a scene.  With over 360 hours of controlled environment training including basic auto mechanics, first responder first aid, traffic control and incident management, legal liability issues, and crash victim extrication, HERO Responders can manage most road issues. Keep this phone number handy, for interstate road assistance: 404-635-8000.
