Family-owned trucking professionals. Since 1923.
The Pyne family has been running Bob's Express out of Newark for four generations. A century of operating around the Port of NY/NJ has built the kind of depth a referral-led business runs on.
A century at the Port of NY/NJ.
Bob's Express & Trucking opened in Newark in 1923, hauling freight in and out of the port that would become the busiest container complex on the East Coast. Four generations of the Pyne family later, we're still here — still family-owned, still operating out of the same Newark neighborhood, still running the port.
Trucking is what we do. Logistics is how we do it. Customs brokers, freight forwarders, shippers, and partner carriers refer their cargo to Bob's because the dispatch desk knows the terminals, the chassis pool, and the appointment system the way only a hundred-year operator can.
We're a trucking company. The kind that picks up the phone.

A hundred-plus years, briefly.
Founded in Newark
Bob's Express opens for business in Newark, NJ — hauling freight in and out of the port that would become the busiest container complex on the East Coast.
The container era
When containerization changed shipping forever, Bob's was already at the Port of NY/NJ — adapting trailers, training drivers, and learning the terminals as they were being built.
Specialized programs
Bob's expands into heavy-haul, specialized freight, and HAZMAT-endorsed environmental work — building the depth of capability that B2B partners rely on today.
Modern dispatch
The next generation of the Pyne family brings GPS tracking, EDI status feeds, and modern dispatch tooling into the operation — without losing the family-run dispatch desk.
Four generations in
Still family-owned. Still hauling freight in and out of Port Newark and Port Elizabeth. Still the same dispatch desk that picks up the phone.
