DELIVERY AND WORK TRUCKS FOR ASBURY PARK BUSINESSES
Asbury Park's restaurants, bars, music venues and boardwalk businesses depend on deliveries that arrive early and get out of the way before the streets fill up. Add the steady stream of renovation and new construction downtown and along the waterfront, and the city keeps a lot of box trucks, cutaway vans and contractor trucks busy year-round, with a sharp peak in summer.
About 7.7 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~13 min drive)
Schwartz Truck Center is about 20 minutes north at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury. As a factory-authorized Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso dealer in Shrewsbury, it keeps new trucks and a lot of used work trucks to see in person, and the same building has the service bays and parts counter.
WHO RUNS TRUCKS IN ASBURY PARK
Food and beverage distributors, caterers, event and staging companies, and the contractors rebuilding older buildings all need trucks sized for city blocks. Narrow streets and limited loading zones around Cookman Avenue and the waterfront reward trucks that are easy to park and quick to unload.
- 12- to 20-foot box trucks with liftgates or ramps for food and equipment
- Refrigerated bodies for food service, when available
- Cutaways and service bodies for electricians, plumbers and HVAC
- Dump and stake trucks for renovation debris and materials
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM ASBURY PARK
The quickest route is usually Route 35 north through Ocean Township and Eatontown, which turns into a straight run to Shrewsbury. You can also take the Parkway north from Exit 102 to Exit 109. Expect 20 minutes or so outside of summer weekends.
WHY A CABOVER WORKS DOWNTOWN
Cabover trucks like the Hino and Fuso models put the driver over the front axle, which shortens the truck for a given body length and improves the view of the curb. On streets lined with parked cars and outdoor seating, that makes deliveries less stressful.
Asbury Park also has a lot of seasonal businesses that add a second truck for the summer and then reconsider in the fall. Comparing a used truck against a new one, and running the numbers on financing for each, is easier when both are parked on the same lot in front of you.
