WORK TRUCKS FOR OCEANPORT, MINUTES FROM SHREWSBURY
Oceanport is a riverfront borough on the Shrewsbury River, home to Monmouth Park racetrack and a large share of the former Fort Monmouth, whose redevelopment has brought new housing, offices and commercial buildings. Builders and site contractors working the fort property, vendors and suppliers serving the racetrack, marine businesses on the river, and the trades maintaining Oceanport's neighborhoods all need work trucks.
About 2.4 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~10 min drive)
Schwartz Truck Center is only about 10 minutes away at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury. For Oceanport operators, that means seeing trucks in person, getting service and picking up parts without giving up much of the workday.
WHO BUYS WORK TRUCKS IN OCEANPORT
Redevelopment on the former fort keeps dump trucks, flatbeds and utility service trucks busy. Monmouth Park's racing season brings in suppliers and food service vendors. And the borough's riverfront homes support marine contractors, landscapers and home service trades.
The river side of the borough has marinas, boat storage and private docks, and the businesses that maintain them haul boat lifts, pilings and outboards. Inland, Oceanport's established neighborhoods support landscapers, roofers, painters and the usual home service trades, many of them based in the borough or in neighboring Eatontown and Little Silver.
- Dump trucks and flatbeds for site and utility work
- Box trucks for food service and event supply
- Flatbeds and stake bodies for marine contractors
- Service bodies for electrical, HVAC and plumbing crews
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM OCEANPORT
Head west on Oceanport Avenue toward Little Silver and Shrewsbury, or take Route 71 and Route 35 north through Eatontown. Most trips are around 10 minutes.
Because the trip is so short, many Oceanport businesses find it easy to stop in more than once while deciding on a truck, or to drop one off in the morning and pick it up later.
CHOOSING TRUCKS FOR REDEVELOPMENT WORK
Commercial construction sites often require subcontractors to bring well-maintained, properly inspected equipment. A newer truck with a body sized for the job, whether a dump for site work or a service body for an electrician, helps a contractor show up ready. New Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso trucks can be ordered to spec, and used trucks offer quicker availability.
Shrewsbury's service department works on most light and medium-duty makes, and its proximity to Oceanport makes routine maintenance easy to schedule around a job.
