Fleet & Overweight Capabilities

Privately Owned Fleet & Overweight Container Hauling in New Jersey

Our own tractors and 20/40/45 ft chassis, overweight and permitted load experience, a Liquor Transportation Permit, and fleet management across the Northeast.

Overview

When the Carrier Owns the Equipment, the Customer Gets the Control

Eastwind Trucking runs a privately owned fleet of tractors and a full range of 20, 40, and 45 foot chassis. We do not depend on third-party equipment or chassis pools for primary lanes, which means capacity, maintenance, and cost stay under our control and your container is not waiting on someone else’s trailer.

That same ownership is what lets us handle the moves other carriers decline: overweight and permitted containers, beverage alcohol under our Liquor Transportation Permit, bonded freight, and tight Just-In-Time windows across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and New England.
