Union County, New Jersey
COMMERCIAL TRUCKS FOR BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ
Berkeley Heights sits on the Watchung ridge in western Union County, a mostly residential township of wooded streets, large lots and a small downtown along Springfield Avenue. Homes here are built, renovated and landscaped constantly, which keeps a wide range of contractors on the road in light and medium-duty trucks.
About 30.3 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~45 min drive)
Schwartz Truck Center is not around the corner, and we will not pretend it is. It is a factory-authorized Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso dealer at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury, roughly an hour south by way of the Garden State Parkway. What makes the trip worthwhile for a Berkeley Heights operator is the combination under one roof: new trucks, a used inventory of box trucks, dumps, flatbeds and service bodies, financing, service and parts.
WHO BUYS WORK TRUCKS IN BERKELEY HEIGHTS
Large residential properties favor landscape and hardscape companies, tree services, masons and custom carpenters. Electricians, plumbers and HVAC contractors who serve the surrounding towns commonly operate from Berkeley Heights, and the hillside terrain and narrow older streets favor compact, maneuverable trucks.
- Landscape dumps and small flatbeds for property crews
- Service bodies and cutaway vans for the mechanical trades
- Box trucks for moving and local delivery
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM BERKELEY HEIGHTS
Most operators head to I-78 or Route 22 and cross to the Garden State Parkway, then drive south to Exit 109 and follow signs to Shrewsbury Avenue. Plan on roughly 60 to 80 minutes depending on traffic. Calling (732) 530-4100 before leaving lets you confirm that a truck is on the lot.
SERVICE AND PARTS FOR BERKELEY HEIGHTS OPERATORS
Service works on most makes of light and medium-duty commercial trucks, and Hino and Fuso parts are on site.
HILLSIDE LOTS, BIG LANDSCAPES
Berkeley Heights is hilly and wooded, and many of its properties have long driveways, retaining walls and mature trees. That makes retaining-wall builders, stonemasons, tree services and landscape contractors a large part of the commercial truck market. Dump bodies, flatbeds and stake bodies handle stone, soil and debris, and a short wheelbase helps on steep, narrow drives.
Along Springfield Avenue and the surrounding commercial blocks, small offices, shops and restaurants use vans and box trucks for deliveries. A 14- to 16-foot box truck is usually enough for local routes.
