Cargo vans (Ford Transit, RAM ProMaster class). Real-world capacity: 2,500-4,000 lb payload, 250-450 cubic feet of cargo, 1-2 standard 48"x40" pallets depending on van and loading configuration. Best for retail transfers, sample runs, parts deliveries, document and messenger work that exceeds bike-courier scale, small last-mile freight, and medical specimen runs. Fits in NJ residential streets, tight loading bays, and the narrow commercial alleys in Hoboken, Jersey City, and the older urban corridors where larger trucks can't maneuver. Sprinter vans (high-roof, long wheelbase). 3,000-5,000 lb payload, 350-550 cubic feet of cargo, 2-3 pallets depending on layout. Better for taller cartons, longer items (display fixtures, racks, signage, ladders, framed art), multi-stop routes where one load needs to cover several drops, showroom and trade-show runs, and medical equipment transport that doesn't fit in a standard cargo van. Box trucks in 16-ft (~3,500-4,500 lb / ~800 cubic ft / 4-6 pallets), 20-ft (~5,000-7,500 lb / ~1,000 cubic ft / 6-8 pallets), 24-ft and 26-ft (~9,000-12,000 lb / ~1,400-1,700 cubic ft / 10-12 pallets) configurations handle full pallet shipments, oversized crates, heavy equipment, retail FF&E, hospitality FF&E, warehouse-to-warehouse transfers, and freight off the marine terminals. Hydraulic liftgate available on every box truck size — critical for street-level offload at retail boutiques, restaurants, residential walk-ups, walk-up commercial offices, construction sites without forklifts, and hospitality FF&E destinations across Paterson, Elizabeth, Edison, and the entire NJ commercial network. Every vehicle GPS-tracked through our live tracking system with photo proof of delivery captured at pickup and drop. Every driver in-house and trained on NJ commercial vehicle regulations, dock procedures, building access requirements, and industry-specific protocols across every industry vertical we serve. Building Certificates of Insurance issued at no charge.
Picking the wrong vehicle wastes time and money. Picking the right one is mostly a function of weight, volume, pallet count, dock availability, and access constraints — and dispatch can advise at booking based on what you're moving. Single piece under ~150 lb, fits in a standard van, no dock required, residential or commercial drop with simple access → cargo van. Common use cases: document delivery overflow, messenger overflow, retail sample runs, parts deliveries to construction or auto, medical specimen runs. Multiple cartons, taller items, 2-3 pallets, longer cargo lengths → Sprinter van. Common use cases: showroom runs, trade-show freight that doesn't quite need a truck, fashion sample pulls, larger retail transfers, medical equipment transport, white-glove residential for single high-value items. Multiple pallets, refrigerator-sized appliances, sectional couches, heavy crates, palletized freight to non-dock receivers, retail FF&E, hospitality FF&E → box truck with liftgate. Common use cases: pallet and freight delivery, warehouse and 3PL last-mile, retail replenishment, hospitality FF&E installs, executive office moves. 24-26 ft box trucks for full pallet capacity (10-12 pallets), heavy equipment, large furniture installs, and bulk freight from the Meadowlands cluster (Secaucus, North Bergen, Kearny) and the Newark-Elizabeth port belt. If you're not sure, send dispatch a photo of what's moving plus the destination type (dock, ground level, residential walk-up, freight elevator, no dock and no forklift, building requires COI in advance). We pick the right vehicle and quote it accordingly. There's no upcharge for getting it right the first time — we'd rather over-truck a job by one size than show up too small and miss the run. Cross-state runs on the NY-to-NJ corridor matched the same way. After-hours and overnight vehicle dispatch through 24/7 dispatch.
Asset-based means we own the trucks, employ the drivers, run the maintenance, and dispatch the runs in-house. Our trucks pull out of our own facility every morning. Our drivers are W-2 and 1099 contractors trained in-house, in our uniforms, driving our maintained vehicles, working under our insurance coverage. Brokered means a company posts your job to a marketplace of independent contractors and hopes someone with the right vehicle accepts before your deadline. The two operate completely differently in practice. Asset-based: known driver names that show up consistently across runs, predictable vehicle quality, building-acceptable Certificate of Insurance issued in advance, accountability when something goes wrong, professional driver standards, no surge pricing, no acceptance lottery, no driver-quality coin-flip. Brokered: coin flip on driver quality from job to job, no consistency, surge pricing on demand, hard to chase down when a delivery fails, and the company you booked through often doesn't have direct contact with the driver actually doing your run. NJ businesses with recurring delivery needs — daily store replenishment from the Meadowlands cluster to Paramus retail, weekly warehouse-to-retail runs from Edison to the Bergen County corridor, scheduled medical pickups across the Hackensack hospital district and the Princeton biotech corridor, dedicated legal courier routes between Newark and Trenton courthouses — choose asset-based for the simple reason that the model produces consistent outcomes. We're an asset-based NJ fleet with full COI coverage, 24/7 dispatch, in-house drivers, and a maintenance schedule that keeps every truck on the road. Every job runs through the same GPS-tracked dispatch with photo proof of delivery. Statewide proof point in our NJ every-city same-day blog and the North Jersey same-day blog. Industry-specific applications at serving all NJ industries.
