Monmouth County, New Jersey
WORK TRUCKS FOR ALLENTOWN AND THE WESTERN MONMOUTH FARM BELT
Allentown is a historic mill-town borough surrounded by the farms and horse country of Upper Freehold Township, right off I-195 at the western edge of Monmouth County. The trucks that roll through its Main Street haul hay, feed, produce, nursery stock and building materials, and many belong to small family operations that keep one or two vehicles running for years.
About 29.4 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~44 min drive)
Schwartz Truck Center is on the other side of the county, at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury. It's a longer drive than most of our Monmouth neighbors have, roughly 40 to 45 minutes on I-195 and the Parkway, but it's a single straightforward trip to a dealer that has sold and serviced commercial trucks since 1919.
TRUCKS THAT FIT ALLENTOWN-AREA WORK
Agricultural and rural work tends to need trucks that carry weight and handle unpaved lanes. A medium-duty conventional or cabover with a flatbed or stake body moves round bales, fencing and pallets of feed; a dump body handles stone, mulch and manure; and a box truck with a liftgate suits farm-market and nursery deliveries.
- Flatbeds and stake bodies for hay, feed and fencing
- Dump trucks for stone, soil and mulch
- Box trucks for farm-stand and wholesale produce runs
THE DRIVE FROM ALLENTOWN TO SHREWSBURY
Pick up I-195 east at the Allentown interchange and follow it to the Garden State Parkway. Head north on the Parkway to Exit 109, then follow Newman Springs Road and Shrewsbury Avenue to the dealership. Calling ahead is worth it on a trip this long, so the truck you want is ready to look at when you arrive.
SERVICE FOR TRUCKS THAT WORK THE FARM BELT
The Shrewsbury service department handles most light and medium-duty commercial trucks, not only the Hino and Fuso models sold new there. If you plan a visit around scheduled maintenance, one trip can cover service and parts pickup together.
Farm trucks often sit for stretches and then work hard during planting and harvest. Bringing one in before the busy season for fluids, brakes, tires and lights is cheaper than losing it in the middle of hay season, and the parts counter can order hard-to-find components ahead of your visit so the trip from western Monmouth is worth it.
