South-east of the shore
Gravel out of Collins, inland from the lake
Inland from the lake, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a sand and gravel operation at Collins, 11.8 miles south-east of Angola on the Lake. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate out of a pit like that are trucks we buy, and if yours is parked at the pit or at a yard near it, give us that location rather than a home address on the lakeshore.
A gravel hauler usually has a body or box mounted on the chassis, so tell us the body type and its length along with the VIN. Send photos of the box raised and lowered, the hoist and the cab door sticker with your first message about a Collins truck.
Up the lakeshore
Angola on the Lake to the Blasdell and Seneca yards
Two rail yards sit up the shore: the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Blasdell yard 15.2 miles north-east of the town and the Seneca yard 15.6 miles out on the same heading. Tractors and straight trucks that shuttle freight to yards like these are often parked beside them, so say which lot your truck is in when you write to us.
Next to those yards, the Buffalo intermodal ramp appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings 15.7 miles north-east of Angola on the Lake. Day cabs that pull containers off a ramp are on our list; send the VIN and the odometer reading first, and the plate number if it is still registered in New York.
Tankers by the rail sidings
From the lakeshore to RSI Logistics, Transflo CSXT and Buffalo Dock
RSI Logistics runs a liquid bulk terminal 15.7 miles north-east, and Transflo CSXT another at 20 miles, both named by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that has pulled tank trailers between rail and road at sites like those is a truck we purchase, with or without the trailer; tell us which of the two you are selling.
Further along, the Energy Information Administration records a petroleum product terminal at Buffalo, 18.4 miles from town. If your truck has hauled fuel from there, keep any hazmat or tank inspection paperwork with the title, since it shows us the truck’s working history alongside your photos.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists Buffalo Dock, a mineral processing plant 16.8 miles north-east. A truck that has worked the dock can be collected there or at any lakeshore address that suits you; give us an address that a tow or a driver can reach.
Back from the water
Dairy, corn and soybean hauling around Angola on the Lake
Back from the lakeshore, Erie County holds 918 farms according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, corn and soybeans as the leading products. Milk tankers, grain trucks and farm straight trucks from those operations are trucks we buy, and they are often kept in a barn or field lot rather than a paved yard.
When a farm truck is parked off the road, tell us whether the ground is firm and whether a gate needs opening. Registration may have lapsed on a truck used only at harvest; that is fine, as long as the title is in the seller’s name.
Angola on the Lake sellers and the Evans office on Erie Road
Titles in this state are issued by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and its Evans office at 6853 Erie Rd, Derby, is 4.8 miles from Angola on the Lake. A seller who has lost the title can apply for a replacement certificate through the department’s DMV offices, and the Evans counter is the one within a short drive of town.
Bring the VIN, your registration and identification when you go to Derby, and keep the replacement title with the truck once it arrives. If a lender is still listed on the title, a lien release from that lender belongs with it as well.
Selling a diesel from Angola on the Lake while ACT and HD Omnibus wait
New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation adopted the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation. Enforcement of each is paused at present, according to the department’s own notices.
For a seller in Angola on the Lake, a diesel tractor or straight truck changes hands under the usual title and registration steps while enforcement stays on hold. If you have the engine label or emissions paperwork, photograph it with the rest of the truck.
