Checked facts
The tunnel rule
The Port Authority's restrictions page says recreational vehicles, vehicles with four or more axles, and all combination vehicles are prohibited from the Holland Tunnel. The April 2026 truckers' guide says the same thing in both directions: no tractor-trailers, no three-axle dual-unit trucks, and no trucks with four or more axles. Only two- and three-axle single-unit trucks may pass. A loaded car hauler is a combination. The driver needs a different Hudson crossing. Confirm which one, because the meeting point depends on it.
Port Jersey is a ship terminal
A 2015 Port Authority account says vehicle processors work at the Port Jersey-Port Authority Marine Terminal in Jersey City and at the Port Newark/Elizabeth complex, and that most imported vehicles move on roll-on/roll-off ships. That description is a decade old, so confirm the current processor before you treat it as today's tenant list. A ship move is not an interstate truck quote. The plan's port page is filed under Newark.
Lanes on file
The city-route file has no Jersey City pair. Census ACS 2024 migration in the plan shows the largest flow into New Jersey from New York, then Pennsylvania. The largest outflow is to Pennsylvania, then New York. Registration is on the New Jersey page. The plan lists no campus and no auction city of Jersey City.
