Kitchen and bath goods from Paterson to Union, NJ: the Parkway and your vehicle

The one road route of about 18 miles from Union to Paterson runs on the Garden State Parkway, the only road it uses for half a mile or more. BVX Home Supply is a kitchen & bathroom liquidation warehouse in Paterson, New Jersey.

Which rented trucks does the Garden State Parkway rule bar, and where?

A truck rented to bring kitchen and bath goods to Union is barred from the Parkway north of Interchange 105 if it is among the "Commercial vehicles with a G.V.W.R. in excess of 10,000 pounds" that N.J.A.C. 19:9-1.9 names; the section lists other bars. The one road route of about 18 miles from Union follows the Parkway.

The rule lists exceptions, such as vehicles holding a special permit, and its definitions explain both G.V.W.R. and commercial vehicle. NJDOT places Interchange 105 in Tinton Falls, Monmouth County, so a driver of a vehicle the rule may bar checks the route against it on a map before setting out.

Matching the vehicle to the Union route

A run of kitchen cabinets, a vanity, a tub or a shower door may come in cartons that outgrow a household car, so measure them against the cargo space with the pickup planning guide. The Parkway adds one question for each vehicle below.

Vehicle	On the Parkway route from Union
Household car	N.J.A.C. 19:9-1.9 also bars passenger vehicles "with improperly secured loads", and its item 9 sets limits for a load on the top or sides, so keep the cartons inside the car on the Parkway.
Rented van	Ask the rental company for the van's G.V.W.R. and compare it with the 10,000 pounds in the rule.
Rented box truck	Ask the rental company for its G.V.W.R. and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority about the trip. If either answer is unclear, plan a route without the Parkway.

Frequently asked questions

What is a gross vehicle weight rating, and how does a Union renter get a truck's figure?

A gross vehicle weight rating, written G.V.W.R. in the Parkway rule, is the value specified by the manufacturer as the loaded weight of a single vehicle. A Union renter can ask the rental company for that figure, then check whether the truck is over the rule's line of 10,000 pounds.

Is there a way from Union to Paterson that avoids the Garden State Parkway?

Other routes from Union to Paterson exist, but the one route mapped to the BVX Home Supply warehouse uses the Garden State Parkway. A driver of a truck the Parkway rule may cover should check a map for a way without it before setting out.

Whom does a Union buyer ask whether a truck rented for their own purchase counts as a commercial vehicle on the Parkway?

Ask the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which owns and operates the Parkway and whose rule excepts "other Authority authorized vehicles" from the commercial vehicle bar. The Parkway rule's definition covers vehicles used for commercial purposes, "such as the transportation of goods, wares, and merchandise". A Union buyer asks before choosing the route.
