City Profile

South Orange NJ Trucking & Freight Industry Overview

South Orange sits where I-78, I-280, and US-22 meet, which is why most breakdown calls here come off a highway rather than a side street. A truck stopped on one of those is a traffic problem before it is a repair problem, so the first thing our dispatcher asks is which road you are on and which way you are pointed.

South Orange is a historic suburban village located in Essex County, New Jersey. It was formally known as the Township of South Orange Village from October 1978 until April 25, 2024. As of the 2020 United States census, the village population was 18,484, an increase of 2,286 (+14.1%) from the 2010 census count of 16,198, which in turn reflected a decline of 766 (−4.5%) from the 16,964 counted in the 2000 census. Seton Hall University is located in the township.

The trucks that cover South Orange also run Maplewood, Irvington, Orange, and New York City, out to about 23 miles at Queens. So a call from the edge of Essex County reaches the same people as one from the middle of town, and you are not handed off to a different dispatcher because of a county line.
