New Jersey freight seasons

Import peak

How we keep New Jersey trucks profitable

TWIC for port terminals

Drivers need a TWIC card to enter the port terminals. If you have one, we can target port and transload freight.

Head west to reload

New Jersey ships less than it receives, so we often reload you in the Lehigh Valley or Harrisburg, an easy run west on I-78.

Watch tolls and NYC rules

Bridges, tunnels and the Turnpike add up fast. We include tolls and New York City truck-route rules when we pick loads.

Dispatch pricing: from 4% of the gross load

Dispatch fees are 4% of the gross load for dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck and power only, 6% for box trucks and hotshots, and 10% for sprinter vans, paid only after the broker pays, with no setup fee or contract. Fleet rates are negotiable. See full pricing
