WORK TRUCKS FOR BEACH HAVEN, NJ
Beach Haven anchors the southern end of Long Beach Island, with a busy Bay Village and Engleside Avenue shopping area, older Victorian-style homes and a summer population that swells every year. Keeping all of that running takes plumbers, builders, landscapers, caterers and delivery drivers with dependable trucks.
About 53.8 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~1 hr 48 min drive)
Schwartz Truck Center is not on the island, and it is not trying to be. It is a mainland, factory-authorized Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso dealer at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury, with new trucks, used box trucks, dumps, flatbeds and service bodies, plus a service department and parts counter. For an operator who is serious about a purchase, the trip north is worth planning.
WHO BUYS WORK TRUCKS IN BEACH HAVEN
Seasonal rental management, restaurants and retail all generate steady delivery work, and the building trades never really slow down. Contractors renovate and maintain rental homes between seasons, and property managers run cutaway vans and small box trucks to turn over units on short schedules.
South-end marine businesses, charter operations and bait-and-tackle suppliers also depend on trucks to move gear and product to and from the mainland.
- Cutaway vans and service bodies for rental-property and trades work
- Box trucks for restaurant, retail and supply deliveries
- Flatbeds and dumps for building and landscape jobs
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM BEACH HAVEN
From Beach Haven, drive the length of Long Beach Boulevard to the Route 72 causeway at Ship Bottom, cross to Manahawkin and join the Garden State Parkway north. Stay on the Parkway to Exit 109 and follow signs toward Shrewsbury Avenue. This is one of the longer runs among our Ocean County towns, commonly well over an hour, so a call ahead to confirm a truck is on the lot is a good habit.
SERVICE AND PARTS FOR SOUTH-END OPERATORS
An island truck is subject to stop-and-go traffic in summer and constant exposure to salt. The service department can inspect and repair most makes of light and medium-duty commercial trucks, and the parts counter can help locate Hino and Fuso components. Plan service visits for the off-season, when your own schedule is lighter.
TRUCKS FOR A SEASONAL RENTAL ECONOMY
Beach Haven turns over rental homes every week in summer, which creates a steady need for linen, cleaning, maintenance and trash and bulk-item hauling. Property managers and cleaning companies tend to favor cutaway vans and 12- to 16-foot box trucks with a liftgate or ramp, because they carry bedding, supplies and replacement furniture without a commercial license in most configurations.
In the off-season the work shifts to renovation. Carpenters and roofers who pack equipment into a service-body truck can run it straight to a job site without a trailer, which saves time on a long, narrow island where every extra vehicle is a parking problem.
