New York, NY freight market
New York City is a delivery market: food for the Hunts Point produce, meat and fish markets, retail and beverage for eight million people, construction materials and air cargo from JFK. Trucks run on designated truck routes only (53-foot trailers are limited to the National Network), parkways ban commercial vehicles, and every river crossing is tolled. Outbound loads are scarce, so most trucks reload in New Jersey.
The New York room is open. No trucks are posted here right now.
Drivers, owner-operators and dispatchers within about 75 miles of New York share this market on True Lanes: one chat room sorted into general, box truck, dry van, reefer and flatbed channels, posted trucks and, once enough evidence exists, typical lane rates.
