The operation
Half a mile out, recorded active, and named in initials
One installation row is attached to this borough. Its coordinate lies 0.50 miles from the centroid, inside the place rather than reached by any fallback, and its status field reads active. Its coordinate reverse-geocodes to Monmouth County, which agrees with the borough it is attached to.
The name on the row ends in a string of initials, and what they stand for was not determined for this work. It is left unexpanded here rather than guessed at — an invented expansion reads exactly as convincingly as a true one, which is the whole problem with them.
Four military rows in this county, and this is the closest in
That row is one of four military installation rows filed under Monmouth County, which is more than any other county in this state carries. The other three are a large active station recorded across two ends 11.21 miles apart, and one post whose status reads closed.
At 0.50 miles this is the shortest distance between any of those four and the town it is attached to; the others sit at 1.09, 3.52 and 0.60. On a shore borough this small that means the installation and the town are effectively the same place, and the work that serves one serves the other.
What runs here
Shore work, base contracts, and towns with their own pages
So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. On a shore borough with a base in it that means service bodies and work trucks off the contracts and the trades first, then box trucks and straight trucks on delivery, dump trucks and flatbeds off the site work, day cabs on the runs inland, and pickups.
Nothing here says what moves in or out of that installation, because nothing in the record does. Acreage is not recorded for it either, so no size is stated — only the 0.50 miles, the county and the status.
Three more Monmouth County towns hold pages of their own: Red Bank, Eatontown, which carries the closed post, and Tinton Falls.
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.
