The operation
Eleven thousand acres, and the pier is fifteen miles away
The installation attached to this town is the mainside end of Naval Weapons Station Earle, and it is not a compact thing. The station covers 11,000 acres split across parts of four townships, and its coordinate lies 3.52 miles from the centroid. Three rail-yard rows sit with it, at 2.32, 2.74 and 2.76 miles.
The other end of it is not here at all. Normandy Road runs 15 miles from this side down to the waterfront area at Belford, carrying both a military road and a rail line, and finishes in an ammunition pier 2.9 miles long. Two ends of one base, and the drive between them is longer than most people’s commute.
Those four rows are two sites, and one is entered twice
Those rail rows repay a closer look, because four of them carry the station’s name across the whole list and they are not four places. One sits at the waterfront end, attached to Belford, 11.21 miles from the mainside yard: separate sites, plainly. At this end, the interchange row lies 2.19 miles from the yard — and then a second interchange row lies 0.02 miles from the first, differing from it by a single dropped letter.
So the group is two sites, one of which has its interchange entered twice with one spelling wrong. It is the same shape as a cluster at Newark and it is the second instance of it in this state. Neither half could be seen from the other: the waterfront row was written up in one batch and the mainside rows in another, and nothing in the data connects the five.
What runs here
Base traffic, county work, and towns with their own pages
So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. Around a base and the townships that hold it that means service bodies and work trucks off the contracts first, then dump trucks and flatbeds on the site work, box trucks and straight trucks on delivery, day cabs running the corridor, and pickups — a lot of pickups.
Nothing here claims to know what moves on that rail line. The base is a fact about the geography of this town, not a claim about any load, and the truck in front of us is what gets valued.
The far end of that fifteen-mile road is Belford, which holds a page of its own. So do Eatontown and Red Bank, both here in Monmouth 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.
