WORK TRUCKS FOR UNION BEACH
Union Beach is a small Bayshore borough on Raritan Bay between Keyport and Keansburg. It was among the towns hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy, and in the years since, many of its homes have been rebuilt or raised. Contractors, home service trades, small manufacturers and delivery businesses all run trucks in and around the borough.
About 10.4 miles from our Shrewsbury lot (~15 min drive)
The Parkway puts Schwartz Truck Center about 20 to 25 minutes south of Union Beach, at 585 Shrewsbury Ave in Shrewsbury. Bayshore operators can come down to see trucks in person and use the same address for service and parts.
WHO RUNS TRUCKS IN UNION BEACH
Rebuilding, elevation and renovation work has kept builders and trades busy for years. Small industrial users and service businesses near Route 36 need box trucks and service bodies, and landscapers and home service companies cover the borough's residential streets.
Union Beach is also a short drive from the industrial areas of Keyport, Hazlet and Middlesex County, so trucks based in the borough often spend part of the week working outside it. A truck that's at home on Route 36 and the Parkway as well as on narrow residential streets makes the most sense.
- Dump trucks and stake bodies for construction and renovation
- Box trucks for delivery and light industrial supply
- Service bodies and cutaways for home service trades
GETTING TO SHREWSBURY FROM UNION BEACH
Take Route 36 to the Parkway near Hazlet and head south to Exit 109, then Newman Springs Road to Shrewsbury Avenue. Route 35 south through Hazlet, Middletown and Red Bank is the toll-free alternative. Plan on 20 to 25 minutes via the Parkway.
BUYING USED ON THE BAYSHORE
Because so many Bayshore vehicles were exposed to flooding, it's worth asking about any used truck's history before you buy. The sales team in Shrewsbury will tell you what they know about trucks on the lot, and the service department can look over a truck before you commit.
Once you own it, the service department works on most light and medium-duty makes, and trucks near the bay benefit from regular brake and undercarriage inspections. Financing and trade-ins are available.
