New JerseyUSDOT Compliance & Motor Carrier Operating Authority Information
New Jersey is home to Port Newark-Elizabeth, the largest container port on the East Coast and the third-largest in the nation. The NJ Turnpike Exit 8A area in Middlesex County is one of the densest warehouse/distribution clusters in the world. Carriers should be aware of extensive toll roads and truck route restrictions.
Port Newark-Elizabeth's Drayage Truck Registry is a separate port requirement from the federal BOC-3, but new Exit 8A and Meadowlands-area carriers sorting out drayage access often discover a missing BOC-3 process-agent designation at the same time. A BOC-3 must be on file before FMCSA activates new operating authority - until it is, the authority stays NOT AUTHORIZED on SAFER.
