Pig-Tainer trucks containers from the Port of New York and New Jersey to Newark, New Jersey. The lane runs about 10 miles and drives in about 20 minutes when the road cooperates.

Routes 1 & 9 or Doremus Avenue up the Ironbound's industrial spine; Port Street and Wilson Avenue reach the East Ward parks.

Doremus Avenue and the Ironbound run heavy industry, food importers, and truck terminals, and Newark Airport's air-freight belt sits on the same loop.

What moves the rate

The linehaul scales with the 10 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. 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
