Monmouth County, New Jersey
BOX, DUMP AND FLATBED TRUCKS FOR MANALAPAN
Manalapan Township spreads across northwestern Monmouth County around Route 9 and Route 33, with shopping centers and offices along the highways, newer subdivisions that have replaced much of its farmland, and some farms and nurseries still working. That growth has supported a big population of landscapers, home builders, paving and excavation contractors, and delivery and service businesses.
About 15.1 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~20 min drive)
Schwartz Truck Center is about 30 minutes east at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury. For Manalapan businesses, the drive across the county is a single trip to a dealer that handles new and used sales, financing, service and parts together.
WHO BUYS WORK TRUCKS IN MANALAPAN
Grounds maintenance for the township's subdivisions and commercial properties is a large market. So are construction and remodeling, irrigation and pool service, and the retail and furniture deliveries coming off Route 9. The weekend auction and market on the Englishtown border adds vendors who need box trucks they can load and park all day.
- Landscape dumps and stake bodies for maintenance crews
- Box trucks for Route 9 retail, furniture and market vendors
- Dump trucks and flatbeds for builders and pavers
- Service bodies for pool, irrigation and HVAC technicians
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM MANALAPAN
One route is Route 33 east into Freehold, then Route 537 east through Colts Neck to Tinton Falls and Shrewsbury. The other heads east into Marlboro to pick up Newman Springs Road (County Route 520) through Holmdel and Lincroft toward Red Bank. Both take about 30 minutes.
Because the trip is longer than for coastal towns, it's worth checking inventory online and calling ahead so the truck you're interested in is ready.
CHOOSING A TRUCK AND KEEPING IT RUNNING
Manalapan crews often split their days between highway miles on Route 9 and Route 33 and slow work on residential streets. A medium-duty cabover handles both well. New Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso trucks can be ordered with the body your business needs, and used trucks offer a lower starting price.
Service in Shrewsbury isn't limited to Hino and Fuso; most light and medium-duty makes are welcome. Scheduling service in advance and asking the parts counter to have components ready makes the trip worthwhile.
