Trucking in New York

New York is the ultimate demand market — the NYC metro area is the largest consumer market in North America. Hunts Point Market in the Bronx is the largest food distribution center in the world. However, operating in NYC requires specialized knowledge of truck routes, low bridges, narrow streets, and strict parking enforcement. Upstate New York offers completely different dynamics with agricultural freight, manufacturing in Buffalo/Rochester, and distribution along the I-90 corridor. Rates are high but so are operating costs.
