Precision Trucking. Northeast Operations.
Bob's Express has moved freight in and out of Port Newark and Port Elizabeth since 1923. Four generations of trucking professionals trusted by customs brokers, freight forwarders, and shippers across the Northeast.
One dispatch desk. Every kind of freight that moves through the Port of NY/NJ.
Port Newark Drayage
Live-load and live-unload pickup at every Port Newark terminal.
Port Elizabeth Drayage
APM, Maher, and PNCT pickups handled daily — chassis included.
LTL Shipping
Less-than-truckload freight across NY, NJ, PA, CT, and the I-95 corridor.

High-Value Cargo
Insured, vetted-driver freight for high-value and time-critical loads.
Container Drop & Set
Our landoll trailers pick containers up off the ground and set them back down exactly where you need them. Office containers, storage containers, and any container that has to sit on the ground, placed on a job site or in a yard and picked back up when you are done. A specialty line we are growing fast across the NYC metro.
A trucking company that operates like logistics.
Customs brokers, freight forwarders, and shippers don't need another broker layer — they need a carrier who knows the terminals, the chassis pool, and the appointment system. Bob's has been that carrier since 1923.
Minutes from Port Newark + Port Elizabeth
Our yard at 339-351 Delancey Street sits a short drive from every gate. That proximity is the difference between an on-time pull and a demurrage charge.
Four generations of trucking professionals
The Pyne family has been running this business since 1923. The dispatcher on the phone is accountable to the people whose name is on the door.
TWIC + HAZMAT-endorsed CDL drivers
Every driver carrying containers at the port holds a valid TWIC credential. HAZMAT-endorsed drivers run hazardous and regulated cargo under full placarding and compliance.
Chassis pool, dry van, reefer, flat
We run our own chassis fleet — no scrambling for equipment when the appointment opens. Dry van, reefer, flat, step, and RGN trailers in the rotation for over-the-road work.
Out of Newark. Across the Northeast. Down the I-95 corridor.
From the Delancey Street yard we serve daily LTL into the NYC metro and FTL across the East Coast — Boston to Baltimore, west into Pittsburgh and the I-78 corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can Bob's Express pull a container off the port?
Most import pulls inside the Port of NY/NJ are scheduled inside one business day once the container is "available" in the terminal system. Tight last-free-day moves are scheduled same-day where the terminal appointment system allows. Call dispatch and you will get a real ETA.
Do you handle both Port Newark and Port Elizabeth?
Yes — both, plus PNCT, APM Terminals, and Maher Terminals. Bob's has been pulling out of the Port of NY/NJ for a century. Drivers are TWIC-credentialed; HAZMAT endorsement where required.
Are your drivers TWIC-credentialed and HAZMAT endorsed?
Yes. Every driver carrying containers in or out of the port carries a valid Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC). HAZMAT-route drivers carry the HAZMAT endorsement on their CDL.
What's the difference between drayage, LTL, and FTL?
Drayage is the short-haul move of a shipping container between the marine terminal and a nearby warehouse or rail. LTL ("less-than-truckload") shares a trailer with other shippers — you pay for the space your freight uses. FTL ("full truckload") is a dedicated trailer, point-to-point. Bob's Express runs all three.
