Fuel terminals five miles down the road
A petroleum product terminal named RIVERHEAD lies 5.2 miles east of the hamlet on Energy Information Administration listings, an easy run along the North Fork from Baiting Hollow. Tank trucks and tractors that load there tend to sit in yards between the hamlet and that terminal, so tell us the street and town where yours is parked and we will plan the collection there.
United Riverhead Terminal, Inc., listed as a liquid bulk terminal 5.3 miles east by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sits almost beside it. If your rig hauled product out of either gate, keep any loading records or site inspection sheets with the title; they tell us what the truck did without a long phone call.
Pits south-east of the hamlet
Westhampton Property Associates Inc runs a sand and gravel operation 7.9 miles south-east, on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and East Coast Mines & Materials works another 10.4 miles out in the same direction. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run those pits are part of what we buy.
A truck parked at a pit gate does not have to come home first. Give us the site name, a contact who can let us in, and photos of the body, frame and cab, and we can arrange pickup where it stands.
Westward links
Brookhaven rail and the Port Jefferson docks
Fourteen miles south-west, the North American Rail Network shows the Brookhaven Rail Terminal yard, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics separately lists a liquid bulk terminal under the same name. Trailers and tractors that shuttle freight off that siding often stay parked near that siding; say which lot when you reach us.
Port Jefferson, listed as a port by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies 18.2 miles west. If your truck worked the ferry and dock traffic there, the VIN, the registration and a clear set of cab and chassis photos are the first things to send.
Hamlet payroll
Farm and factory jobs around Baiting Hollow
Of 611 jobs counted in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, 198 were in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, about a third of the local total. Box trucks, stake beds and farm tractors pulling produce or nursery stock fit that kind of work and we take them as well as heavy tractors.
Manufacturing held another 81 of those positions, or 13.3 percent, in the same LEHD figures. A straight truck or a small fleet unit retired from a plant here can be listed with its service records and the plate it currently carries.
Greenhouse and barn
Potted flowers, horses and hogs
Across the 578 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts in Suffolk County, potted flowering plants top the list, followed by horses and hogs. Greenhouse delivery trucks, livestock haulers and horse trailers’ tow vehicles all come out of that mix.
When a farm truck is registered under a farm plate, mention it up front, along with whose name is on the title, so the paperwork matches the person signing.
Riverhead DMV
Replacing a missing title near the North Fork
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 200 Old Country Rd, Riverhead, is 5.2 miles from Baiting Hollow, so a lost certificate can be dealt with close to home. Bring the registration and identification when you apply for the replacement.
If the title is already in hand, photograph both sides and send it with the VIN; any lien that is still listed on it needs a release from the lender before the sale closes.
