Why New Jersey for Power Only Operations

The Northeast dry van market benefits from high-density consumer demand along the I-95 corridor. Port-driven import freight from Newark and Baltimore keeps capacity tight, especially during peak retail seasons. Tolls on the NJ Turnpike and I-95 cut into margins, but shorter average haul distances mean more loads per week. Owner-operators who master the congestion patterns and delivery windows can consistently outperform national averages.

New Jersey Advantages

  • Port Newark-Elizabeth is the busiest container port on the East Coast
  • Highest concentration of warehouses in the US along I-95/NJ Turnpike
  • Drayage operations earn $800-1,200 per day in port container moves
  • Pharmaceutical corridor creates high-value temperature-sensitive loads
