WORK TRUCKS FOR OCEAN GATE, NJ
Ocean Gate is a small borough on the shore of the Toms River where it opens into Barnegat Bay, a grid of modest streets with a bayfront and a few blocks of local shops. Like its neighbors Pine Beach and Island Heights, it is more a home base than a commercial hub, and many residents run trades and service businesses from there.

A truck purchase for one of those businesses is a big decision. Schwartz Truck Center at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury is a factory-authorized Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso dealer where you can compare new trucks with used box trucks, dumps, flatbeds and service bodies, talk financing, and ask the service and parts departments questions before you commit.

The service department works on most makes of light and medium-duty commercial trucks, and Hino and Fuso parts are available from the counter on the same property.
BAYFRONT MAINTENANCE, SMALL-LOT ACCESS
Ocean Gate's compact lots and short streets mean the typical contractor works out of a van or small truck. Carpenters, roofers and siding crews often step up to a cutaway chassis with a service body, which gives them roughly the same drivability as a van with far more secure storage.
Along the waterfront, bulkhead and dock repair is a recurring job. A flatbed or small dump body can carry lumber, pilings and fill, and it is easy to hose off after a day near brackish water.
