Jersey City is fifteen square miles of land wrapped around a port. Port Jersey's container and roll-on berths sit on the Bayonne line, and the Croxton, Kearny and North Bergen ramps put the boxes on rail. More than three in five of the city's carriers run interstate, most of their drivers inside a hundred miles, and the tank farms at Bayonne fill the tankers.
A Jersey City yard holds a day cab draying boxes out of Port Jersey, a produce reefer, a garbage truck and a tanker. A bus runs a city route. A semi truck with a sleeper works the lanes out of the port.
Lost title in Jersey City
The Motor Vehicle Commission's Vehicle Center at 438 Summit Avenue replaces a lost title and records the transfer, by appointment, on the Universal Title Application.
A port tractor lives in the gate queue and shows it in the clutch, the fifth wheel and the steps; a city box truck in the body and the liftgate. Shoot those, then the cab and the engine, and say whether it worked the port or the streets.
Weight limits in Jersey City
Jersey City's own inventory is 68 bridges, none posted for load but seven below fourteen feet. The lowest is twelve feet nine where the Route 139 viaduct crosses I-78, which every port driver has measured. The state figures a Jersey City truck runs under, and the federal table beside them, are on the New Jersey page.
Tell us the yard, down by Port Jersey, up by the Route 139 viaduct or over by Croxton, and send photos and the title.
