Monmouth County, New Jersey
WORK TRUCKS FOR ENGLISHTOWN
Englishtown is a small, historic borough surrounded by Manalapan Township, and its name is known well beyond its size thanks to the long-running weekend auction and flea market on its edge and the motorsports park nearby that uses an Englishtown address. Day to day, the trucks around town belong to contractors, landscapers, haulers and vendors who work the fast-growing western Monmouth suburbs.
About 15.8 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~21 min drive)
Schwartz Truck Center is in Shrewsbury, on the eastern side of the county, about 30 to 35 minutes away. It's a straightforward drive across the county on Route 520 or by way of Freehold, and worth it for a buyer who wants a dealer that handles sales, service and parts in one place.
WHO NEEDS TRUCKS IN AND AROUND ENGLISHTOWN
Vendors who sell at weekend markets need box trucks they can load the night before and park all day. Landscapers and builders working new subdivisions in Manalapan and Marlboro need dumps and flatbeds. Haulers and junk-removal services need trucks that can take a beating.
- Box trucks with ramps or liftgates for market vendors
- Dump trucks for landscaping, cleanouts and site work
- Flatbeds for equipment and building materials
THE DRIVE FROM ENGLISHTOWN TO SHREWSBURY
Head east toward Marlboro and pick up Newman Springs Road (County Route 520), which runs east through Holmdel and Lincroft toward Red Bank. Shrewsbury Avenue takes you south to the dealership. Alternatively, go through Freehold and take Route 537 east through Colts Neck. Either way, allow about 30 to 35 minutes.
MAKING THE TRIP COUNT
Because Englishtown is on the far side of the county, it helps to check the inventory online and call (732) 530-4100 before you come, so the truck you're interested in is ready. If you're coming for service, ask the parts counter to have components on hand.
The service department works on most light and medium-duty makes, so a western Monmouth operator with a mixed fleet doesn't need separate shops for separate brands.
BUYING YOUR FIRST COMMERCIAL TRUCK
A lot of western Monmouth businesses start with a pickup and trailer and eventually need something bigger. Moving up to a box truck or a dump means thinking about GVWR, payload, body length and whether a driver needs a CDL. The sales team can explain how those factors play out for the trucks on the lot, and point you to the CDL guidance on the site.
Starting with a well-chosen used truck is a common path, and financing is available for both new and used.
