Drayage in New Jersey
The Port of New York and New Jersey is the busiest container complex on the East Coast — over 9 million TEUs annually, with most loaded boxes moving through Elizabeth and Port Newark. Drayage here means mastering terminal-specific appointment systems (TIPS at APM, Voyager at PNCT, eModal at Maher), chassis pool dynamics across the NJ M&R Pool, and the per-mile premium of NJ Turnpike tolls. BRS is headquartered in Toms River and runs daily moves into all five marine terminals.

How we run drayage in New Jersey
We work Port Newark and the surrounding terminal complex on appointment systems daily. That means knowing which terminals run TIPS versus eModal versus Voyager, where chassis pools split, and how each ramp prioritizes return windows during congestion.
Major freight in New Jersey flows along I-95 (NJTP) and I-78 — corridors we route load planning around, not against. Drayage drops at Newark, Jersey City, Edison go out daily, and intermodal moves through CSX North Bergen are part of the same lane book.
New Jersey is a priority market for BRS. We carry deeper carrier coverage here, tighter terminal relationships, and the operator bandwidth to handle volatile vessel schedules without dropping containers into demurrage.

We cover Port Newark, Elizabeth-Port Authority Marine Terminal, Port Newark Container Terminal, Maher Terminals, APM Terminals Elizabeth daily. If you have container freight at a smaller terminal not listed, message us — most secondary terminals in the state are reachable through our carrier network.

Standard moves go out same-day or next-day depending on terminal appointment availability and chassis pool status. Pre-pulls and staged drays can compress that further when free time matters.
What makes New Jersey a priority market for BRS?
Volume and complexity. The freight density and terminal-side friction in New Jersey justify a dedicated operator bench. We carry deeper carrier coverage and tighter terminal relationships here than in markets we run more opportunistically.
