Next to the airfield
Right beside New Castle Airport
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists New Castle Airport as a military installation just 0.7 miles west of Wilmington Manor. A truck that services the airfield is often kept on a fenced lot near it, so tell us whether a gate pass or an escort is needed before anyone arrives to load it.
If your rig has run fuel, materials or equipment onto airport ground, keep any site access letters and service records with the title. Photos of the cab, frame and tires taken where it is parked let us see the truck before we plan the trip out to the field.
Two rail yards and a tank-car transfer site
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Wilmington Auto Ramp sits 3.2 miles north-east of town and the Wilsmere yard 3.4 miles north-west. Car haulers that load at the auto ramp and day cabs that shuttle between the two yards are both trucks we buy here.
Transflo CSXT, a liquid bulk terminal 3.5 miles north-west according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, moves product between rail tank cars and road tankers. For a tractor that pulled tankers out of Transflo, send the VIN, the registration and a note of which trailers it hooked to; the tanker itself can be part of the sale or left out.
Port of Wilmington and its marine terminal
Roughly 3.5 miles north-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Port of Wilmington’s marine terminal as a roll-on/roll-off facility, and it lists a rail intermodal ramp at the same Marine Terminal. Container chassis haulers and yard tractors that worked those docks fit what we collect.
A truck still parked inside the port fence does not need to come home to Wilmington Manor first. Give us the lot, the gate contact and the hours it can be reached, and keep the title and registration together so the paperwork can change hands at the truck.
Petroleum terminal and the Wilmington Plant
The Energy Information Administration places a petroleum product terminal called Wilmington 3.5 miles north-east, beside the port. Fuel tankers and bobtails that loaded there should come with their inspection paperwork, since that file tells us how the truck was set up for the work.
Records from the Mine Safety and Health Administration show the Wilmington Plant, a mineral processing plant 3.2 miles north-east. Dump trucks and bulk haulers that ran between the plant and job sites are welcome; list the body type and the axle setup when you get in touch.
Construction, freight and wholesale jobs in the Manor
Census Bureau LEHD job counts for 2023 put 3,481 jobs in Wilmington Manor, 185 of them in construction, a 5.3 percent share. Contractors here run dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks between local sites, and any of those can be sold from the driveway or the yard where it sits.
The Census Bureau’s 2023 LODES figures also give transportation and warehousing 122 jobs, wholesale trade 109 and manufacturing 55. Delivery straight trucks and tractors from those trades are part of what we pick up; have the title in the registered owner’s name, or tell us early if a lender is still listed on it.
Corn, soybean and horse farms nearby
Across New Castle County, 335 farms are tallied by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and corn, soybeans and equine lead the list of what they produce. Grain trucks that haul corn and soybeans at harvest and the trucks that pull horse trailers both turn up in sheds around the county.
A farm truck that sits in a barn most of the year can be collected right there. Tell us whether it carries farm plates or a standard registration, and send a photo of the bed or body along with the cab.
