Locust is a small rural city in Stanly and Cabarrus counties in the U.S. state of North Carolina. As of the 2020 census, Locust had a population of 4,537. It has seen substantial growth lately due to the urban sprawl from the Charlotte area.

US-601 alone accounts for about 14.1 miles inside the Locust service radius, running between Monroe, NC and Concord, NC. Road Rescue Network coordinates dispatch to the closest verified rescuer on those routes 24/7, with a confirmed ETA before the truck rolls.

Coverage out of Locust includes mobile truck repair, heavy-duty and light-duty towing, commercial tire service, fuel delivery, lockout, jumpstart, winching and recovery, trailer repair, and mobile diesel mechanic work.
