WORK TRUCKS FOR MANASQUAN'S SHORE AND MARINE BUSINESSES
Manasquan sits on the north side of the Manasquan Inlet, with a popular surfing beach, a Main Street of shops and restaurants, and residential streets running down to the river and the inlet. Summer brings a surge of business for restaurants, rentals and beach services, while contractors, landscapers and marine trades work the borough year-round.
About 13.8 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~19 min drive)
The dealership at 585 Shrewsbury Ave is a 25- to 30-minute drive north. Manasquan owners can take the Parkway up, compare trucks, and keep using the same shop for service and parts.
WHO RUNS TRUCKS IN MANASQUAN
Restaurant and beverage suppliers, rental and cleaning companies, marine contractors on the river and inlet, and the builders and landscapers serving the borough's homes are the main buyers. Many are small businesses that need one dependable truck rather than a fleet.
Beach services that set up and break down equipment every day, surf and bike shops moving inventory, and the crews that open and close rental houses at the start and end of each season all add to the borough's truck traffic. Their busiest weeks are short and intense, so a breakdown in July costs far more than it would in January.
- Box trucks for restaurant supply and rental turnover
- Flatbeds for dock, bulkhead and marine work
- Landscape dumps and stake bodies
- Cutaways for plumbing, electrical and HVAC service
THE DRIVE FROM MANASQUAN TO SHREWSBURY
Head west to the Garden State Parkway at Exit 98 and go north to Exit 109, then follow Newman Springs Road to Shrewsbury Avenue. Route 35 north through Wall, Neptune and Eatontown avoids tolls but is slower in summer. Plan for 25 to 30 minutes on the Parkway.
GETTING READY FOR THE SEASON
For seasonal businesses, the best time to buy or service a truck is before the summer crowds arrive. Shopping in winter gives you more choice and time to arrange financing; scheduling brake, tire and liftgate work in spring means the truck is ready for Memorial Day.
Shrewsbury's service department works on most light and medium-duty commercial makes, and trucks parked near the inlet benefit from regular checks for salt corrosion. Trade-ins are welcome when you're replacing an older truck.
