Haulers on file in this north-metro suburb

Of the 301 active motor carriers with a Northglenn address in FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is a listed cargo for 147. If your tractor or box truck has spent its working life on mixed loads around the north metro, the VIN, the title and a set of clear photos of the cab, frame and tires are what we ask for first.

Machinery and large objects appear on 42 Northglenn carrier filings in the federal carrier census, motor vehicles on 40, and logs, poles, beams and lumber on 35. Lowboys, car haulers and flatbed rigs from these lines of work are trucks we buy, and if the trailer goes with the tractor, photograph both and tell us which one you are selling.

Of the 301 active carriers, 250 run intrastate only and 51 cross state lines, according to the FMCSA census, while 127 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck usually has its own service records in the company files; pull those before you reach out so the history comes with the sale.

Terminals south-east of Commerce City

The Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals, DENVER at 5.8 miles and DUPONT at 6.4 miles, south-east of Northglenn. A tanker or fuel-delivery truck that loads at either one can be collected from the yard where it is kept; send us that address and the name of whoever controls the gate.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics facility list shows one liquid bulk terminal 5.7 miles south-east of town and Sunco, another liquid bulk site, 7.7 miles south. If your truck has been hauling to these sites, keep any loading-rack inspections or tank test certificates together with the title and hand them over at the sale.

Sand Creek, North yard and the Denver ramps

On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the SAND CREEK yard lies 7.3 miles south-east of town and the NORTH yard 8.4 miles south. Day cabs that shuttle between rail yards often sit at a drayage lot rather than at home, so tell us exactly where yours is parked.

Two container ramps are close by: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts Denver, CO - Irondale at 8 miles south and the Denver, CO ramp at 9.6 miles south. For a tractor that has pulled chassis off either ramp, the registration, the VIN plate photo and an odometer photo let us start the conversation without a trip to see it.

Short runs around the north metro

In the FMCSA census, Northglenn carriers report 542 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 412 driving beyond that radius. Either way, we pick the truck up wherever it sits, whether that is a home driveway or a terminal lot across the county line, so give us the street address rather than the company office.

A median of 15,500 miles per truck per year shows up for the 53 Northglenn carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s census. Photograph the odometer and the dash, and note the engine hours if the truck shows them, so the figures you give us match what we see on arrival.

Where the north-metro jobs put trucks to work

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 9,827 jobs located in Northglenn in 2023, with construction at 754 of them, or 7.7 percent. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies that support building work fit what we buy; a truck parked at a job site can be collected there once the site contact knows we are coming.

Manufacturing accounts for 575 local jobs and wholesale trade for 146, per the same 2023 LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. Straight trucks and tractors working for a plant or a distributor often carry a company name on the title, so confirm who the registered owner is and have their signature ready before pickup.

Route clearances and Adams County farms

The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration lists 10 bridges in Northglenn, with none posted for load and none under 14 feet of clearance. That means a tall or heavy truck can be routed out of town without a detour, and you only need to tell us the gross weight on the registration.

Across Adams County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 877 farms, with wheat, corn and cattle as the leading products. Grain trucks and livestock haulers parked on a farm out east are collected from the property; let us know whether the lane is gravel and where we can turn a carrier around.

Clean truck regulations in force

Colorado’s Air Quality Control Commission has the Advanced Clean Trucks Rule in force as part of the Colorado Clean Cars and Trucks Regulation. Selling a used truck you already own is a separate matter from the new-vehicle sales those rules address, so you can sell yours to us with the title and registration you hold today.

Alongside it, the Air Quality Control Commission also has the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Rule in force statewide. If your truck carries an emissions label under the hood or on the door jamb, photograph it along with the VIN so the engine family is on record when we look at the truck.

The questions we get asked in Northglenn

  • Our tank truck sits by the DUPONT fuel terminal south-east of town; must it come into Northglenn first?It can stay put: the Energy Information Administration lists DUPONT 6.4 miles south-east of Northglenn, and we collect from that lot. Send the lot address and whoever holds the key to the gate.
  • Our business holds the Northglenn truck title rather than me personally; is that a problem for selling?Not at all, since FMCSA’s carrier census lists 127 private fleets in Northglenn, and many trucks here are titled to a business. Have an officer of the company sign the title and bring proof they can sign for it.
  • I farm in eastern Adams County. Do you come out to rural property?We do, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 877 farms in Adams County, and we collect grain and livestock trucks from the farm itself. Tell us the road and where a carrier can turn.
