WORK TRUCKS FOR THE CREWS THAT SERVE LOCH ARBOUR
Loch Arbour is a village, one of the smallest municipalities in New Jersey, a few oceanfront blocks between Allenhurst and Asbury Park at the mouth of Deal Lake. Almost all of it is homes, many large and close to the beach. The trucks you see there come from outside: builders, landscapers, roofers, painters, pool companies and service techs.
About 7.2 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~12 min drive)
Schwartz Truck Center is about 15 minutes north at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury. For crews who work Loch Arbour and the neighboring shore towns, it's a practical place to buy a truck and keep it serviced.
WORK TRUCKS ON LOCH ARBOUR'S BLOCKS
Oceanfront construction and maintenance means trucks parked close to salt water on short streets. Smaller cabovers make the most sense for most trades.
- Landscape dumps and stake bodies
- Box trucks for finish materials and furnishings
- Service bodies for mechanical and electrical trades
FROM LOCH ARBOUR TO SHREWSBURY
Take Main Street (Route 71) north through Allenhurst and Deal toward West Long Branch and Eatontown, then Route 35 north. Expect a drive of about 15 minutes.
If you'd rather stay inland, Route 35 north through Ocean Township and Eatontown takes about the same time and avoids summer traffic near the beach.
PROTECTING TRUCKS THAT WORK BESIDE THE OCEAN
Trucks that spend their days a block from the beach collect salt on the frame, brakes and electrical connections. Rinsing the undercarriage and scheduling regular inspections pays off. The Shrewsbury service department works on most light and medium-duty commercial makes, and the parts counter can order replacement components when corrosion has done its damage.
If you're adding a truck, both new Hino and Fuso models and used trucks are available, with financing on either.
WHO WORKS IN LOCH ARBOUR
Because Loch Arbour is almost entirely residential, the trucks working there are from businesses based in Ocean Township, Asbury Park, Neptune and beyond. Builders replacing or renovating oceanfront homes, landscapers with weekly maintenance routes, roofers dealing with wind and salt damage, and HVAC and plumbing technicians answering service calls make up most of the traffic. For these crews, Loch Arbour is one stop on a route through several shore towns.
Light and medium-duty cabovers with landscape, stake or service bodies are the most common fit for that kind of route work.
