Pit and face
Crushed stone and gravel on the roads out of Cairo
Catskill Quarry, a crushed-stone operation about 9.6 miles south-east of Cairo, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine records, and Colarusso Quarry Company runs another crushed-stone site 13.2 miles to the east. A dump truck or tri-axle that works between those faces and the job sites is the kind of truck we collect from a yard, a driveway or a pit gate. Send the VIN, the registration and a few photos of the body and chassis, and tell us which site it parks at.
North-east of town the Alcove Quarry cuts dimension stone 11.5 miles out, the Kearney Pit digs sand and gravel 13 miles to the south-east, and the Mt Marion Pit and Mill sits 17.6 miles south, all listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck is parked at one of those pits rather than at home in Cairo, give us that address; we come to the truck, so it does not need to be moved first.
Cement and fuel
Cement at Ravena, propane at Selkirk, fuel to the east
The Amrize Ravena Plant, a cement plant 16.9 miles north-east of Cairo, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and a bulk tanker or mixer that serves it can be collected from the plant’s lot or your own yard. Keep the service records together with the title so the history travels with the truck.
Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration records nearby: Peckham Industries, 10.9 miles east, and the Selkirk LPG Terminal, 19 miles north-east. Fuel and propane tankers that load at either one are trucks we purchase; tell us the tank’s spec plate details and whether its inspection paperwork is current when you contact us.
Lumber, freight and private fleets on Cairo’s carrier rolls
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 67 active carriers in Cairo, and 61 of them run intrastate while 6 cross state lines; 51 are private fleets hauling their own goods. For an owner who runs a private fleet truck, a New York title in the company’s name and a signature from whoever is authorised to sign for the business are what we need at pickup.
Lumber and logs tie with general freight at the top of the cargo list, 21 carriers each in FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by motor vehicles at 13 and machinery and large objects at 12. A log truck, a rollback or a lowboy from one of those outfits is on our list, and photos of the deck, the boom or the ramps alongside the cab help us see what you have.
The three biggest fleets in town register 29, 23 and 13 power units with FMCSA, and the census shows 4 new carriers in 2025 after 3 in 2024. Whether you are selling one tractor out of a fleet of twenty or the only truck in a new outfit, the paperwork is the same: title, registration and the keys.
Cairo trucks that end the day in Greene County
Drivers here mostly stay close: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 135 drivers working inside a hundred-mile radius and 40 going beyond it. Eleven Cairo carriers report annual mileage in the census, and the middle truck among them logs ten thousand miles a year. That means many trucks end the day back in Greene County, so a home yard or a shop lot in or near Cairo is usually the simplest place for us to meet it.
Cairo carriers had 52 trucks checked at the roadside between September 2024 and July 2026, and those FMCSA roadside inspection records give a middle model year of 2017, with just over a third (34.6 percent) built ten or more years earlier. Have the model year and the engine details ready when you call, since those are the first two things we ask.
Replacing a missing title nine miles away in Catskill
If the title is missing, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles issues the replacement, and its Catskill office at 411 Main St, Catskill, is about 9.5 miles from Cairo. Apply for the duplicate there or through DMV offices elsewhere in the state before you arrange the sale, because the title is the one document we cannot collect the truck without.
A truck registered in a business name needs the replacement application signed for the company, so bring proof that you can sign for it to the Catskill counter. Once the new title arrives, send a photo of its front so we can match the VIN to the truck.
Farms, builders and jobs near Cairo
Around Cairo, Greene County holds 201 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cut flowers and greens, cattle and honey at the top of the list. A livestock hauler or a flatbed that moves hay and feed between those farms can be collected right from the barn lot.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 17 construction establishments in Cairo, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put local employment at 748 jobs in 2023. Contractors who keep a dump truck or a stake body for their own work can sell it with the same title and registration as any carrier.
New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation and its Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus regulation are both on the books with the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation, and enforcement of each is paused. Cairo owners selling a diesel truck today do not need any extra emissions paperwork for us beyond the usual title and registration.
The questions we get asked in Cairo
- My dump truck stays at a pit near Cairo; will you collect it there?Catskill Quarry, the Kearney Pit and the Alcove Quarry all sit within about 13 miles of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from pit gates and quarry lots as well as home yards. Tell us which pit, its road address and when the gate opens for Cairo traffic.
- Does the paused clean truck rule affect selling my truck?Enforcement of New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation is paused, as is enforcement of the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus regulation, so a Cairo seller needs only the title, registration and keys.
