Pig-Tainer trucks containers from the Port of New York and New Jersey to The Bronx, New York. The lane runs about 29 miles and drives in about 50 minutes when the road cooperates.
Turnpike north to the George Washington Bridge, Cross Bronx to the Bruckner for Hunts Point and the market district.
Hunts Point feeds the city: the produce, meat, and fish markets take reefer drays daily, alongside beverage and grocery DCs along the Bruckner corridor.
Truck-legal routing
The borough's parkways (Grand Central, Bronx River) are cars only; the Cross Bronx and the Bruckner carry the trucks. The Cross Bronx at peak can double the drive, and dispatch plans delivery windows around it.

What moves the rate
The linehaul scales with the 29 miles. Fuel rides on top as a percentage, a chassis bills by the day, and terminal wait time past the free window bills by the hour. Bridge tolls (george washington bridge, westbound) are priced into the lane up front. The fees that hurt, storage, per diem, demurrage, come from missed days, and dispatch's whole job is not missing them. Every fee explained, in the cost guide
