A small, local set of Dobbs Ferry carriers
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 38 active carriers based in Dobbs Ferry, and 36 of them are cleared for intrastate work only, against 2 with interstate authority. For a truck from an intrastate operation, have the New York title and registration together before you call.
Thirty of the village’s 38 carriers are flagged as private fleets in that federal census, so most Dobbs Ferry trucks carry an owner’s own tools, stock or waste. If your truck belonged to a business like that, the title may sit in the company’s name, so find out who signs for it before we arrange collection from the yard or the job site.
New registrations stay modest in the village: 3 carriers in 2024 and 2 in 2025, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started one of those operations and are now selling the truck, your USDOT number and recent registration are the two papers we will ask to see first.
Box vans, packers and lowboys off village lots
General freight is the cargo listed by 9 Dobbs Ferry carriers in FMCSA’s census, while 4 list garbage, refuse and trash and another 4 list machinery and large objects. Box trucks, roll-off and packer bodies, and lowboy or rollback units all fit that mix, and we purchase each of them; tell us the body type and its maker along with the chassis VIN.
Three carriers here list utility work, the federal census records, which usually points to bucket, digger or service bodies. For a truck with an aerial device or crane on it, have the device’s inspection sheets and any service records ready, since we will ask about the upfit as well as the chassis.
A refuse truck from this village is often kept at a municipal or contractor yard rather than at the owner’s house. Give us the yard address and a name for the person who controls the gate, and we can plan the pickup around that site.
Short routes and low yearly miles
Drivers on Dobbs Ferry carriers split 59 within a 100-mile radius and 10 beyond it, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Tell us where your truck is usually parked in or near the village, and we collect it from that spot.
FMCSA’s carrier census gives a median of 10,520 miles per truck per year across the 5 local carriers that report mileage. Read the odometer and photograph the dash when you gather the VIN; those two items answer most of what we ask first.
One village fleet runs 10 power units with 10 drivers and another 9 units with 5 drivers, while a third has 3 of each, FMCSA’s census shows. Selling several trucks at once from a lot like that is fine; list each VIN and say where each unit is parked.
Quarries, terminals and rail yards around the village
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the West Nyack crushed-stone quarry 8.3 miles north-west of Dobbs Ferry and the Haverstraw Quarry & Mill 12.2 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or mixer that hauled from those pits across the river can be collected where it is parked, so note which side of the Hudson it sits on now.
Eastward, Westmore Fuel Co appears as a liquid bulk terminal 10.9 miles away on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, and the Energy Information Administration lists Westmore Fuels as a petroleum product terminal at the same distance. Southward sit the Bronx petroleum terminal at 14.2 miles on EIA’s records and the Sprague liquid bulk terminal at 14.4 miles on BTS’s. Tank trucks and fuel delivery units that served those sites are on our list; bring tank inspection papers if you have them.
Rail yards bracket the village too, with Harmon Shops 12.6 miles north and Oak Point 13.9 miles south in the North American Rail Network. A tractor or straight truck that worked around either yard can stay parked where it is while we sort the paperwork.
Replacing a lost title down in Yonkers
The nearest New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office for a title is in Yonkers at 1 Larkin Plaza, 5.4 miles from Dobbs Ferry. If your title is missing, start the duplicate request there before the sale, and make sure the name on the new title matches the seller.
Bring the registration and a photo ID to that Larkin Plaza office, and if a lender held a lien, take its release letter too. Once the duplicate is in hand, send us a photo of the front and back so we can check the VIN against the truck.
Construction jobs, farms and clean-truck rules
Of the 6,321 jobs counted in Dobbs Ferry for 2023, construction held 164, a 2.6 percent slice, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. County Business Patterns from the same bureau lists 27 construction establishments, so a dump body, flatbed or stake truck from a contractor here is the kind of unit we take.
Across Westchester County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 108 farms, led by equine operations, potted flowering plants and foliage plants. Horse trailers pulled by a pickup are outside our line, but a medium-duty box or stake truck that served a nursery or stable is one to send us.
New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks and Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus regulations both show enforcement as paused on the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s pages. Neither status changes what you need for the sale: title, registration and clear photos of the truck.
The questions we get asked in Dobbs Ferry
- I misplaced the title to a tractor I keep in Dobbs Ferry; where do I get a new one?The New York State DMV office at 1 Larkin Plaza in Yonkers, 5.4 miles away, handles duplicate titles. Apply there in the seller’s name and send us a photo of the new title when it arrives.
- Our dump truck sits across the Hudson by the Haverstraw pit; must it be driven back over to Dobbs Ferry first?Haverstraw Quarry & Mill sits 12.2 miles north-west of Dobbs Ferry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from there. Send the exact address and a contact who can let us onto the site.
- Will you buy a refuse packer or roll-off that hauled for a Dobbs Ferry outfit?Four Dobbs Ferry carriers list garbage, refuse and trash in FMCSA’s carrier census, and packer and roll-off trucks like theirs are ones we buy. Tell us the body maker and the chassis VIN when you get in touch.
- Our village business has three trucks on one lot; is a single sale for all of them possible?A fleet of 3 power units and 3 drivers is among those FMCSA’s census lists in Dobbs Ferry, and a set that size is easy to handle in one sale. List each VIN, who holds each title and where each truck is kept.
