The operation
One yard, publicly held, attached from half a mile off
One rail-yard row is attached to this borough and there is no second. It runs under the state transport department, and its coordinate lies 0.51 miles from the centroid — attached by nearest-centroid fallback rather than by falling inside the place, which is the weaker of the two matches.
Half a mile is a short fallback as these go; the longest in this lane runs to 8.22 miles. But short or long, a fallback means the coordinate is not inside the town it is booked to, and where it is instead is the question the next section answers.
Of the two yards of that name, this is the one in the other town
So here is the inversion. Two rows carry the same name, 0.28 miles apart under different carriers — this one publicly held, its twin under Conrail. The twin is attached to the borough that name belongs to. This one is attached here.
And it is this one whose coordinate lands inside that other borough. The row filed under this town is the row standing in the town next door, while the row filed under the town next door is not. It is one of 23 different-carrier near pairs that three earlier scans of this record could not see, because all three filtered to same-carrier rows before comparing anything.
What runs here
Valley work, borough trades, and towns with their own pages
So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. In a small borough on this stretch of the valley that means dump trucks and flatbeds off the site work first, then box trucks and straight trucks on delivery, service bodies and work trucks off the trades, day cabs running the valley, and pickups.
What either of those two yards handles could not be determined from any source read for this work. Ten rows are filed under Somerset County altogether, six of them rail yards and four crushed-stone quarries reporting 153 employees between them, and none of that headcount is on the rail.
Three more Somerset County towns hold pages of their own: Bound Brook, where this row actually stands, Manville and Raritan.
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.
