The operation
Fourteen yards attached to one city, twelve of them Conrail
Fourteen rail-yard rows are attached to this city in the node list, twelve of them under Conrail, and the container ramp at the Port Newark Container Terminal is entered separately again. Nothing else in this state carries a number like it.
They are close in, too. Oak Island sits 0.80 miles from the centroid and Hunter 0.93; Poinier Street is at 1.46, Port Newark at 1.97, Waverly at 2.34 and Wilson Avenue at 2.38. A yard at that range is not somewhere you drive out to. It is a place the traffic is already passing.
Three of those names are two facilities, one entered twice
Those fourteen rows are not fourteen distinct places. Three of them share one stem: Doremus, then Doremus Autoramp 0.15 miles away, then Doreums Autoramp 0.52 miles from that — the third being the second with two letters transposed. Read as a group it is two facilities, a yard and the autoload ramp beside it, with the ramp entered twice.
Four of the fourteen have coordinates that fall outside the city altogether. Harrison and Harrison Shops lie inside Harrison town, 0.06 miles apart from each other — about 320 feet — under Amtrak and the New Jersey Department of Transportation respectively. Port Elizabeth Portside lies inside Elizabeth city. Irvington lands in no incorporated place at all. Three of those four have a page waiting for them somewhere else.
What runs here
Drayage, autoramp work, and towns with their own pages
So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. Around a port complex that means day cabs and road tractors on container drayage first, then car haulers off the autoramps, dump trucks and flatbeds on the redevelopment, box trucks and straight trucks on the distribution that fills the warehouses, and the service bodies and pickups behind all of it.
Those yards’ commodities could not be determined from any source read for this work, and none is claimed here — not even for the Port Newark Container Terminal, where the ramp is entered but the traffic is not. It makes no difference to the offer: what matters is whether the truck is complete.
Two of the towns the data points at hold pages of their own — Harrison, where two of these yards actually sit, and Elizabeth in Union County, where a third one does. Kearny has a page as well, and the rest of the fourteen stay here in Essex County.
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.
