WORK TRUCKS FOR FAIR HAVEN TRADES
Fair Haven is a residential borough on the south shore of the Navesink River, with tree-lined streets, a small River Road business district and a lot of home improvement going on at any given time. Landscapers, tree services, painters, roofers, kitchen and bath contractors and marine builders working the riverfront are the trucks you see there most.
About 2.7 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~10 min drive)
Schwartz Truck Center is about 10 minutes away at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury, just past Red Bank. For a Fair Haven crew, it's close enough to stop in between jobs, compare trucks and get service without losing the day.
WHO RUNS TRUCKS IN FAIR HAVEN
Many of the businesses working Fair Haven are small and local, often based in the surrounding river towns. They need one or two trucks that can carry a crew's equipment and materials and still park on a residential street.
- Landscape dumps and chip trucks for grounds and tree crews
- Box trucks for cabinetry, flooring and fixtures
- Stake bodies for roofers, painters and masons
- Flatbeds for dock and bulkhead work along the Navesink
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM FAIR HAVEN
Head west on River Road into Red Bank, cross Broad Street, and continue to Shrewsbury Avenue south. Or take Fair Haven Road south to Route 35. Plan on about 10 minutes either way.
SERVICE AND PARTS FOR FAIR HAVEN OPERATORS
The service department in Shrewsbury handles most light and medium-duty makes, so a landscaper with an older dump and a newer box truck can bring both to one place. The parts counter stocks or can order filters, brake parts and body components for crews that handle their own routine work.
When it's time to replace a truck, trade-ins are welcome, and Schwartz Truck Center also buys trucks outright.
TRUCKS THAT FIT FAIR HAVEN STREETS
Fair Haven's residential blocks and narrow driveways favor shorter trucks. A cabover with a 12- to 16-foot body or a compact landscape dump can carry what most residential jobs need and fits where a long conventional won't. Hino and Fuso cabovers are built for exactly this kind of work.
For tree crews, a chip body on a medium-duty chassis paired with a chipper handles cleanup, and a flatbed or stake body is useful for crews that move a lot of long material like lumber or ladders.
