TRUCKS FOR LACEY TOWNSHIP AND FORKED RIVER
Lacey Township, which includes Forked River and Lanoka Harbor, runs along Route 9 between Barnegat Bay and the Pinelands. Marinas, the former Oyster Creek generating station site (now being decommissioned), and neighborhoods of single-family homes give the township an economy built on skilled trades, marine work and local services.
About 32.6 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~49 min drive)
Those crews are the people Schwartz Truck Center serves. The dealership at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury is a factory-authorized Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso dealer with new and used trucks, a service department and a parts counter, reachable by Route 9 or the Parkway heading north.
WHO BUYS WORK TRUCKS IN LACEY
Forked River's marinas and charter fleet support marine contractors, boat haulers and mechanics who need flatbeds and service bodies. The township's steady residential market also supports roofers, remodelers, landscapers and pool companies, along with delivery operations tied to local retail on Route 9.
- Flatbeds and service bodies for marine and trades work
- Landscape dumps for lawn and site crews
- Box trucks for local delivery and moving
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM LACEY
From Forked River or Lanoka Harbor, head north on Route 9 or enter the Garden State Parkway nearby. Continue to Exit 109 and follow signs to Shrewsbury Avenue. Expect a drive in the range of 55 to 75 minutes.
SERVICE AND PARTS FOR LACEY OPERATORS
The service department can handle routine maintenance and repairs on most makes of light and medium-duty commercial trucks. Hino and Fuso parts are available at the counter on the same lot.
MARINE AND ROUTE 9 BUSINESSES
Forked River and Lanoka Harbor have a working-marina character that shapes demand. Boat-yard mechanics and marine suppliers move heavy engines, props and pilings, and charter and boat-service operators usually want flatbeds and stake bodies with strong tie-down points.
On the Route 9 side, local retailers and trades want practical box trucks and cutaways. The township is a place where trucks pick up salt exposure quickly, so regular undercarriage washing and inspection are worth building into a maintenance plan.
Seasonal work in Lacey follows the bay: boat launches and haul-outs in spring and fall keep marine contractors busy, while summer brings tourists to the Forked River waterfront and extra deliveries to local restaurants. A truck that can serve both a work crew and a delivery route is easy to resell later.
