What can slow a shipment from Newark
- The region's loading dockBetween the port, the airport and the Turnpike interchanges, this small area handles an enormous share of what moves in and out of the Northeast. Carriers are constantly here, and a handover in Newark is often arranged faster than one anywhere else in the metro.
- Straight onto the long-haul networkThe New Jersey Turnpike carries I-95 through the state and I-78 heads west toward Pennsylvania. A truck loading here is on a national corridor within minutes, which is a real advantage over a pickup that has to fight its way out of a borough first.
- Built at truck scaleThe industrial districts around the port have wide roads, large lots and no parking restrictions worth mentioning. Residential Newark and the Ironbound are tighter, but a workable meeting point is never more than a few minutes away.
Truck drivers may drive up to 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty, which is why long routes are measured in days, not hours. Source: FMCSA hours of service
