Ocean County
Where Leisure Village West sits
Leisure Village West is in Ocean County, and the census counts 3,969 people here, at 3,280 per square mile, with a median age of 71.6 years.
What we know about Leisure Village West is what the census records and what New Jersey law requires; the yards, pits and depots we have researched elsewhere have no entry here. So the question we can actually answer is how a truck gets out, not who else might want it.
New Jersey weight law
That road has a number on it
That route out is where the state stops being an abstraction. New Jersey sets the ceiling before any local sign lowers it.
In New Jersey the maximum gross weight, vehicle or combination is 80,000 lb, including load or contents (N.J.S.A. 39:3-84b.(4)).
In New Jersey the single axle weight limit is 22,400 lb, where the axle centre is more than 96 inches from the next; a group of axles less than 40 inches apart counts as one axle (N.J.S.A. 39:3-84b.(3)).
In New Jersey the tandem axle weight limit is 34,000 lb, where consecutive axle centres are 40 inches or more but not more than 96 inches apart (N.J.S.A. 39:3-84b.(2)).
New Jersey paperwork
Then the paperwork has to match the truck
Those limits decide the route. The title decides whether there is a sale at all.
In New Jersey the salvage threshold is 100% of fair market value: the vehicle is economically impractical to repair when the cost to repair it, on a bona fide repair estimate, equals or exceeds that value (N.J.A.C. 13:21-22.3).
In New Jersey, the base is fair market value immediately before the damage, which the rule defines as the retail value averaged across the official valuation manuals approved by the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance (N.J.A.C. 13:21-22.3).
In New Jersey, the highest of the bona fide repair estimates decides it, and an estimate written by the vehicle owner does not count as one (N.J.A.C. 13:21-22.3).
So what leaves Leisure Village West
Those two rules meet 3,969 people in Leisure Village West, Ocean County, at a household median around $52,500 and a density of 3,280 per square mile. A truck sitting in a driveway here is a working asset that has stopped working, whatever the size of the place it stopped in.
What we take out of a place like this is sleeper tractors and day cabs, dump trucks and roll-offs, box trucks and flatbeds, pickups and duallys, and the service and utility bodies that outlive the business that bought them.
