The operation
Forty-two thousand acres, carried as a single row
The installation next to this village covers 42,000 acres and its coordinate lies 3.32 miles from the centroid. It is a joint base — three former bases administratively merged — and the whole of it is carried here as ONE row, which is not how this data usually handles a merger.
Elsewhere the same list splits a single installation into several rows, and splits two adjacent installations into two. Here it does the opposite and collapses three into one. The consequence for a page like this is simple: the row count understates what is on the ground by a factor nobody can read off the row.
Those acres are filed under a different county from this village
That is worth pinning down before anything is built on it. The row’s coordinate is filed under Ocean County, while this village is a Burlington County address — and both are correct, because a base of that size does not fit inside one county. Four rows in this data are filed under Burlington County in all: this base, two sand-and-gravel pits reporting 17 employees between them, and one rail yard.
So the base is the county’s industrial record almost by itself, and the rest of it is small. Acreage, current use and what any of it means for traffic on a given day are not in this data and are not guessed at here.
What runs here
Base contracts, pine country, and towns with their own pages
So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. Around a base of that size and the pine country beyond it that means service bodies and work trucks off the contracts first, then dump trucks and flatbeds on site work, box trucks and straight trucks on delivery, day cabs on the runs out, and pickups.
A truck that has spent its life on base contract work is often better kept than its age suggests and worse documented, because the paperwork lived with a company rather than with the vehicle. Neither of those changes whether we buy it.
Three more Burlington County towns hold pages of their own: Vincentown, which carries the county rail yard and a pit, New Gretna and Presidential Lakes Estates.
New Jersey paperwork
No percentage in the law, and photographs before any repair
That same title governs what damage does to a truck’s paperwork, and New Jersey decides it by judgement rather than by arithmetic. Under § 39:10-31 and § 39:10-32 a salvage certificate of title issues where a vehicle has been reported stolen or has suffered damage enough to make repair economically impractical; the holder of the certificate of ownership surrenders it, and what comes back permits transfer only as a salvage motor vehicle. There is no percentage and no valuation base anywhere in the provision.
So the figure people quote is insurer practice rather than law, and this page will not print it as a threshold. New Jersey sits in the judgement group with Arizona, California and Montana, and unlike New Hampshire it carries no alternative percentage limb at all, so no age window applies to it either: a truck of any age can be brought inside the rule by that judgement.
The rebuild side carries a requirement most states do not. New Jersey directs the owner restoring a salvage vehicle to photograph it before repairs, showing each side, and to keep before and after photographs; a reconstructed, rebuilt or repaired salvage vehicle is then inspected at a State inspection facility under N.J.A.C. 13:21-22. The obligation lands on the owner and it lands before any work is done, which is earlier than in any other state read for this project, so a truck repaired here without photographs may be harder to retitle than the same truck repaired the same way elsewhere.
The rule people ask about next asks nothing of them. New Jersey has adopted Advanced Clean Trucks, alongside California, Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington, and it sets manufacturer sales requirements for zero-emission medium and heavy duty vehicles rather than obligations on the owner of a truck that already exists. Its status is under challenge following the June 2025 congressional repeal of California federal waivers, and no consequence for any individual vehicle follows from it.
Questions we actually get
The four that come up every time
Does it have to run? No. But we buy complete trucks — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. A missing bumper is nothing.
Do I need the title? We need a title, unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. If it is lost, that is a replacement through the Motor Vehicle Commission and we will walk you through it. If there is a lien on it, say so on the form — that is why the question asks whether the title is in hand rather than whether you own the truck, because those are different situations and they go different ways.
What if it has been in a wreck? Tell us what happened and we will look at it as it is. New Jersey sets no percentage: § 39:10-32 makes it a judgement about whether repair is economically impractical, so nothing is decided by a formula before we have seen the truck. If you have already started work on it, keep the photographs.
How does it get collected, and how am I paid? There is no clock on any of this. We can come to you and drive it away, come to you and tow it, buy it remotely and arrange the tow, or you can bring it to us. Payment is cash or electronic payment.
