The operation
Three rows here, and all three are named for somewhere else
Three rows are attached to this borough: an intermodal container ramp at 0.70 miles from the centroid, and two rail yards at 0.64 and 0.68. All three lie inside the place, so the attachment is by containment rather than by any fallback.
Every one of the three carries the name of a different borough — Little Ferry, which is a separate municipality with a page of its own. The name travelled and the ground did not, which is the ordinary way a rail facility ends up called after the town on the other side of the line from it.
Those two yards are 260 feet apart under two railroads
Those two yard rows sit 0.05 miles from each other — about 260 feet — and they are not a duplicate. Each carries a carrier tag in brackets, one for CSX Transportation and one for the New York, Susquehanna & Western Railroad, and in each case the tag matches the carrier field on its own row.
That agreement is what makes this the clean version of the shape. Elsewhere in the same data a bracketed tag disagrees with its field, or names a using carrier the other row does not, and the reading has to be argued for. Here there is nothing to argue: two railroads, one piece of ground, both recorded correctly, in Bergen County.
What runs here
Ramp traffic, borough work, and towns with their own pages
So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. With a container ramp on the doorstep that means day cabs and road tractors on drayage first, then box trucks and straight trucks on distribution, dump trucks and flatbeds off the construction, service bodies off the trades, and pickups.
Neither yard’s traffic could be determined from any source read for this work and neither is described. What the truck did matters less to us than whether it is complete.
Little Ferry, the borough all three rows are named for, holds a page of its own. So does Elmwood Park here in Bergen County, and Secaucus across the line in Hudson 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.
