COMMERCIAL TRUCKS FOR BARNEGAT, NJ
Barnegat Township has grown steadily along Route 9 and the Barnegat Bay shoreline, and the trades that build and maintain those neighborhoods keep a lot of work trucks on the road. Schwartz Truck Center, at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury, is a factory-authorized Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso dealer in Shrewsbury, with new and used inventory, a service department and a parts counter in one place.
About 40.6 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~1 hr 1 min drive)
It is a real drive from Barnegat, but a straightforward one: Route 9 north to the Garden State Parkway, then the Parkway the rest of the way to Exit 109. Plan on somewhere around an hour each way, so it makes the most sense when you are comparing trucks seriously and want to see several of them, talk financing and ask about parts in a single visit.
WHO BUYS WORK TRUCKS IN BARNEGAT
New home construction, remodeling, pool and paving crews, and lawn and landscape companies make up much of the local fleet demand. Barnegat's mix of year-round residents and bayside second homes also keeps electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs and handymen busy, and many of them run cutaway vans or small box trucks with shelving built in.
Marine trades are part of the picture too. Boat haulers, dock builders and marina service shops around the bay need flatbeds and stake-style bodies that can carry heavy, awkward loads without a lot of fuss.
- Landscape dumps and flatbeds for crews working the Route 9 corridor
- Service bodies for electrical, plumbing and HVAC contractors
- Box trucks for local delivery, moving and equipment hauling
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM BARNEGAT
From the center of Barnegat, take Route 9 north through Waretown and Lacey to Toms River, or get on the Parkway north as soon as it is convenient. Stay on the Garden State Parkway north to Exit 109, then follow the signs toward Shrewsbury Avenue. A weekday morning run is usually faster than a summer Friday, when shore traffic can add real time.
Call (732) 530-4100 before you leave if you have a specific used truck in mind, so you know it is still on the lot.
SERVICE AND PARTS FOR BARNEGAT OPERATORS
The service department works on most makes of light and medium-duty commercial trucks, not only the ones sold here, and the parts counter can help with Hino and Fuso items. Barnegat operators who already have a truck in the family can use the dealership for scheduled maintenance and repairs, then decide later whether a newer unit makes sense.
TRUCKS THAT FIT BARNEGAT'S WORK
Barnegat's growth has come in waves of new subdivisions off Route 9 and along the bayfront, so finish carpentry, drywall, flooring and landscape installation make up a lot of the work. For those crews a 14- to 16-foot box truck or a cutaway with shelving often beats a pickup, because tools and materials stay dry and organized overnight.
A box truck under 26,001 pounds GVWR generally does not require a commercial driver's license, which matters for small contractors who do not want to hire a CDL driver. Ask the sales team about the weight rating on any truck you are considering and confirm your own licensing needs with the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission.
