The operation
Two rows, one name between them, both reached by fallback
Two rows are attached to this town and they carry the same name as each other: a rail yard under Conrail at 1.31 miles from the centroid, and an intermodal container ramp at 1.16 miles. Neither was matched by falling inside the place. Both came in on nearest-centroid fallback.
Two entries at one site, one for the yard and one for the ramp beside it, is a shape this record produces often and it is not a duplicate. What is unusual here is that both halves are attached the weak way, so neither one anchors the other.
The town they are named for has no page to correct them to
So the obvious move is the one that will not work. Everywhere else in this lane, a row named after the wrong town could be pointed at that town’s own page — a yard filed here standing in Avenel, a Bound Brook row filed to the borough next door, a Millville row attached to a city 3.85 miles off. Every one of those places is in the frozen registry.
The town these two are named for is not. There is no page to move them to, so for once the misattachment has nowhere to go, and this town is the right place to cover them from whether or not the coordinates agree. Twenty-four rows are filed under Hudson County, sixteen of them rail yards, and these two are among the least firmly placed of the set.
What runs here
Ridge delivery, ramp traffic, and towns with their own pages
So whatever you drive, the offer does not change — we buy all of them. On a dense ridge with a container ramp below it that means box trucks and straight trucks on delivery first, then day cabs and road tractors on drayage, service bodies and work trucks off the trades, dump trucks and flatbeds off the rebuilding, and pickups.
What either row handles could not be determined from any source read for this work. Access is the real constraint on a street grid like this one rather than weight, and what a truck can turn into is not something any of these records measure.
Three more Hudson County towns hold pages of their own: Union City, Jersey City, where a good many of the county’s rows actually land, and Secaucus.
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.
