Monmouth County, New Jersey
WORK TRUCKS FOR HOWELL TOWNSHIP CONTRACTORS AND HAULERS
Howell is the largest township in Monmouth County by land area, stretching from Route 9 in the west across Route 33 and I-195 to the Wall border. It has a little of everything: commercial strips along Route 9, contractor yards and small industrial lots, horse farms and nurseries, and a lot of housing that keeps builders and service trades busy. Trucks are everywhere in Howell, and a large share of them belong to small owner-operated businesses.
About 13.7 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~19 min drive)
Schwartz Truck Center is about 30 minutes northeast at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury. Howell operators can reach it on the Parkway or across Colts Neck, and get sales, service and parts in one stop.
WHO BUYS WORK TRUCKS IN HOWELL
Landscaping and landscape supply, excavation, paving, tree work, fencing, roofing and general contracting are all well represented in Howell, along with movers, junk haulers and delivery services working the Route 9 corridor. Many of these businesses need trucks that carry heavy loads every day.
- Dump trucks for landscape supply, paving and excavation
- Flatbeds and rollbacks for equipment and materials
- Box trucks for moving and Route 9 deliveries
- Chip trucks and stake bodies for tree and fence crews
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM HOWELL
From central and eastern Howell, take I-195 or Route 33 east to the Parkway and go north to Exit 109. From the Route 9 side, Route 33 east to Route 34 north through Colts Neck, then Route 537 east, is a toll-free alternative. Plan on roughly 30 minutes.
MATCHING THE TRUCK TO HEAVY DAILY WORK
Trucks that carry stone, block or equipment every day need a chassis with margin over the load. Class 6 and 7 trucks handle heavier dumps and flatbeds; Class 4 and 5 cabovers suit landscapers and service trades. Keep in mind that above 26,000 lb GVWR, drivers need a CDL, which affects who on your crew can drive.
Many Howell businesses are run by an owner and a small crew, and the truck is often the biggest purchase they make. Seeing new and used trucks side by side, talking with someone who knows the bodies and chassis, and getting financing worked out in one visit saves time that's better spent on jobs.
SERVICE AND PARTS FOR HOWELL FLEETS
Shrewsbury's service department works on most light and medium-duty makes. Hard-working trucks benefit from regular brake, suspension and hydraulic inspections, and the parts counter can order hoist, liftgate and chassis parts ahead of a visit.
