WORK TRUCKS FOR LAKE COMO
Lake Como is a small borough between Belmar and Spring Lake, known as South Belmar until 2004 and named for the lake on its southern edge. It's mostly year-round and summer homes with a short stretch of businesses along Main Street (Route 71). The trucks working there are mostly contractors, landscapers and service trades keeping those homes in shape, plus suppliers for local restaurants.
About 11.6 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~17 min drive)

TRUCKS FOR LAKE COMO WORK
Shore rental turnover, renovations and seasonal maintenance generate steady work for small trucks. Most Lake Como jobs call for something maneuverable that fits on a narrow residential street.
Most trucks in Lake Como belong to businesses based in Wall, Belmar and Spring Lake Heights that serve a cluster of shore boroughs. Roofers, siding crews and painters working on older shore cottages; landscapers maintaining yards and the lakefront; and HVAC and plumbing techs handling service calls all need trucks that fit on blocks lined with parked cars. Small cabovers, cutaways and landscape dumps are the most common choices.
- Landscape dumps for lawn and garden crews
- Box trucks for rental furnishings and supplies
- Service bodies for plumbing, HVAC and electrical
DRIVING FROM LAKE COMO TO SHREWSBURY
Head west into Wall and pick up the Garden State Parkway north to Exit 109, or take Route 35 north through Neptune, Ocean Township and Eatontown. Plan for about 25 minutes outside of summer weekends.
ONE OR TWO TRUCKS, CHOSEN CAREFULLY
Small shore businesses often run just one or two trucks, so each one has to earn its keep. The sales team in Shrewsbury can help you choose a body length and payload that fits your work without paying for capacity you won't use.
Financing is available on new and used trucks, and trade-ins are welcome.
SERVICE FOR SHORE TRUCKS
Salt air takes a toll over time. The Shrewsbury service department works on most light and medium-duty makes and can check frames, brakes and electrical systems during routine maintenance.
