The operation
One yard, under Conrail, and it carries this town’s own name
One rail-yard row is attached to this borough, under Conrail, 0.44 miles from the centroid and inside the place. The name on it is this borough’s own name, so the name, the ground and the attachment all agree with each other — which happens less often in this record than it should.
Conrail on that row is current rather than left over. The shared-assets company still operates in three areas, North Jersey, South Jersey and Philadelphia, and its 38 rows in this state fall inside them. Two other old-looking railroad names in the same record really are out of date; this is not one of them.
Four of this county’s five yards belong to one naval station
That row is one of five rail-yard rows filed under Monmouth County, and the other four all carry the name of a single naval weapons station: a mainside yard, two entries for one interchange 0.02 miles apart and differing by a dropped letter, and Earle Waterside at the far end of a private military road, 11.21 miles from the first of them.
So this is the only yard in the county that is not part of that station, which makes it the only ordinary commercial rail row down here. Nine rows are filed under this county altogether, four of them military installations, and the balance of the place shows in what gets sold: contractor trucks, trade trucks and town trucks rather than fleet equipment.
What runs here
Borough trades, river traffic, and towns with their own pages
So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. In a river borough like this one that means box trucks and straight trucks on delivery first, then service bodies and work trucks off the trades, dump trucks and flatbeds off the building work, day cabs on the runs inland, and pickups.
What the yard handles could not be determined from any source read for this work, and being the county’s only non-military yard does not license a guess about it either. The 0.44 miles is the measured part.
Three more Monmouth County towns hold pages of their own: Eatontown, Sea Girt and Belford, which holds the waterfront end of that station.
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.
