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.
Can you handle high-value or hazardous cargo?
Yes. Vetted-driver, GPS-tracked, closed-trailer service for high-value freight. HAZMAT-endorsed drivers, EPA-compliant manifesting, and proper placarding for hazardous and regulated cargo.
How long can a container sit at Port Newark before incurring demurrage?
Terminals typically grant 4–5 "free days" from the container availability date. After that, demurrage charges accrue daily. Bob's Express tracks last-free-day for every container we move and schedules pulls in time to avoid those charges where the appointment system allows.
