Fords from the driver's seat
Fords is about 15 minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Garden State Parkway, Route 9 and Route 440 and the town's own streets and lots.
The southern working section of Woodbridge Township along Route 9 and the Perth Amboy line: older homes on a tight grid, King Georges Road's businesses, and the Ford Avenue commercial corridor. Pickups, older sedans and the vans that work the nearby industrial waterfront.
Street parking on the older grid, small driveways. Flatbeds load from the street; cars often need to be pulled out from between parked vehicles.
