Salem County intake guide

Who this guide helps

Transportation, warehouse, and construction workers, freight operators, contractors, equipment owners, and people with jobsite or delivery records.

What to sort out

Freight logs, contractor records, equipment ownership, and jobsite evidence can be held by separate employers, carriers, project owners, vendors, and insurers. Overweight-load permits, refrigerated-trailer temperature logs, escort-vehicle invoices, and toll transponder statements each originate with a different issuer, and farm matters can add scale tickets, packinghouse invoices, and cooperative settlement sheets.

Court and agency routing

This Salem County page is a routing aid for intake and does not decide a filing division. Court, Surrogate, municipal, workers’ compensation, and agency paths depend on the matter, and the Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Vicinage directory supplies official court locations.

Official court source: NJ Courts Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Vicinage.

Three intake decisions

  1. Record whether the person is a driver, warehouse employee, contractor, equipment owner, project owner, customer, carrier, landowner, beneficiary, or fiduciary and list the involved entities.
  2. Separate time and freight logs, bills of lading, contractor agreements, change orders, equipment titles, jobsite photographs, incident reports, and insurance communications by project.
  3. Identify whether the immediate route may involve Family Part, Civil Part, workers’ compensation, probate or Surrogate processing, municipal court, an agency, or another forum.

Official local evidence: Transportation and warehousing accounted for 21.5% of Salem County private employment compared with 6.4% statewide, with a 95.6% increase over the report comparison period. View the 2026 NJDOL county report using 2024 data.Source checked July 12, 2026.
