Pig-Tainer trucks containers from the Port of New York and New Jersey to Brooklyn, New York. The lane runs about 21 miles and drives in about 45 minutes when the road cooperates.
Goethals Bridge to the Staten Island Expressway, over the Verrazzano onto the Gowanus and the BQE for Sunset Park, Red Hook, and East New York.
Industry City, Sunset Park, Red Hook, and East New York: city receivers with tight docks, street appointment windows, and no forgiveness for a late truck.
New York City truck routes and bridge tolls are part of the price of every Brooklyn turn. We route them and price them up front, not as a surprise accessorial.
Truck-legal routing
New York parkways are cars only; the Belt Parkway is off-limits to trucks. The legal path is the Verrazzano onto the Gowanus and BQE, then NYC truck routes to the door. At the peak, the 45 minutes can double.
From every gate in the harbor
The Brooklyn lane starts wherever your container sits. We pull from all five marine terminals and every rail ramp in the harbor:
- APM Elizabeth McLester Street to North Avenue East, on the Turnpike at 13A.
- Maher Corbin Street, our own street, on the Turnpike at 13A.
- PNCT Out of Port Newark to the Turnpike at Interchange 14.
- Port Liberty Bayonne Route 440 to the Turnpike's Newark Bay Extension.
- Port Liberty NY Over the Goethals Bridge; add about 15 minutes to any New Jersey lane.
- ExpressRail Elizabeth On-dock at the port; same roads out as the marine gates.
- ExpressRail Newark On-dock at Port Newark; same roads out as the marine gates.
- CSX Kearny North of the port, off the Turnpike and Route 7 in the Meadowlands.
- NS Croxton The Jersey City side of the Meadowlands, off Routes 1 & 9.
What moves the rate
The linehaul scales with the 21 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 (goethals and verrazzano, both ways) 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
