Gravel, salt and stone around Dansville
Eleven miles east along the valley, Cohocton Mine digs sand and gravel under a Mine Safety and Health Administration listing. A dump truck or tri-axle that has spent its seasons hauling out of that pit can be collected from the pit yard or from your own lot; tell us which, and include a photo of the body raised so the hoist is visible.
Hampton Corners Mine and Retsof Bagging, an industrial-mineral mine, is 14.6 miles north-west on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, with Sand Hill Mine, another sand and gravel site, at 15.2 miles in the same direction. If your truck runs bagged product or aggregate between those two, list the trailers or bodies that go with it so we know whether the sale is the tractor alone or the whole rig.
Further out, the Bath Plant crushed-stone quarry lies 24.8 miles south-east, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Owners who park a stone truck down toward Bath rather than in the village only need to send us that address; the pickup is planned around the spot where the truck already sits.
Dairy tankers and grain trailers off Livingston farms
Milk ranks ahead of corn and cattle among the 612 Livingston County farms tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A milk tanker, a cattle pot or a grain trailer kept in a barn lot outside Dansville is something we can photograph and collect where it stands, so a farm address works as well as a street one.
Of the 124 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census for Dansville, 41 list farm supplies as cargo and 36 list grain, feed and hay. If your straight truck or tractor carried seed, feed or harvest, have the registration and the title in the same folder before you call, along with any service invoices from the farm’s shop.
Feed, freight and machinery on Dansville rigs
General freight is the leading cargo line on FMCSA’s carrier census here, at 46 carriers, while 41 haul machinery and large objects. A lowboy or step-deck tractor that has moved equipment around the county is the kind of unit we take on; mention the trailer’s deck length and axle count when you send pictures.
Intrastate operators number 106 against 18 interstate ones, and 97 of the 124 are private fleets, by FMCSA’s census. For a private-fleet truck that belongs to a farm or a contractor rather than a for-hire outfit, check that the name on the title matches the business or person selling it.
One fleet in town lists 18 power units and 29 drivers in the FMCSA carrier census, another 10 units and 24 drivers, and a third 9 units with 9 drivers. Selling several trucks at once from a yard like those is one call: give us the count and the VINs and we sort out collection unit by unit.
Valley routes and the miles Dansville trucks log
Of the Dansville drivers on file with FMCSA, 238 stay inside a 100-mile radius of base, while 103 head past that line. Most trucks from Dansville come back home at night, so the likely pickup point is a shop, a farm lane or a driveway in or near the village.
A Dansville truck covers a median 16,500 miles a year, going by the 24 local carriers whose mileage FMCSA holds. Write the odometer reading down from the dash and send it with your first photos so the figure we work from is the one on your truck.
The carrier census from FMCSA records 5 new carriers registering in 2024 and 2 in 2025. A newer operator ready to sell a first truck goes through the same steps: title, registration, photos of the cab, frame and tires, and the address where it is parked.

What the 2017 median says about Dansville cabs
Thirty-four Dansville trucks pulled in for checks from September 2024 through August 2026 show a 2017 median model year in FMCSA roadside inspection records. Have the model year and engine make ready when you reach us; both sit on the title and the door sticker.
Of those same 34 trucks in the roadside inspection records from FMCSA, 38 percent were ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on yours, send the inspection reports you kept, since they show where and when the truck was stopped and checked.
Title counter
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles runs its Dansville office at 14 Clara Barton St, about 0.2 miles from the centre of the village. If the title is missing or still shows a released lienholder, that is the counter to visit for a replacement or a lien release before the truck changes hands.
Bring the registration and a photo ID to the Clara Barton Street office, which the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles lists for Dansville. Once the replacement title is in hand, send us a picture of both sides and we can set the collection date.
Plant and site trucks
Dansville manufacturing and building contractors
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 1,953 jobs in Dansville in 2023, with 87 of them, or 4.5 percent, in manufacturing. A box truck or stake body that delivered for a plant or a shop in town can be picked up from the loading dock if that is where it is kept.
Contractors with a dump body, a crane truck or a service body to sell should photograph the equipment mounted on the chassis and note its make, as that is listed separately from the truck itself.
The questions we get asked in Dansville
- Do you buy trucks that haul out of the gravel pits near Dansville?Cohocton Mine sits 11 miles east and Sand Hill Mine 15.2 miles north-west on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and dump trucks from pits like those are among what we buy. Photograph the dump body from both sides, add the VIN, and name the pit or lot holding the truck.
- My title went missing; which Dansville office issues a new one?The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 14 Clara Barton St, about 0.2 miles from the village centre, handles replacement titles and lien releases. Get the replacement before the sale so the title can transfer at pickup.
- Can you collect a farm truck from a barn lot in Livingston County?Livingston County has 612 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and a farm lane is as good a pickup point as any street address. Describe the lane from the road to the barn so our driver can reach it.
- Can a Dansville yard with several trucks sell the whole group in one go?Fleets registered here in FMCSA’s carrier census run as many as 18 power units, and a group sale from one yard works the same way as a single truck. Send the count, the VINs and the yard address.
