A dump truck or tri-axle that has hauled out of that pit is something we buy, and it can stay parked at the yard or at your shop while we arrange collection. Have the title and the registration together before you call us.
Two more sites sit farther out on the same federal mine list: University Gravel Products, a sand and gravel operation 9.3 miles south-west, and Cayuga Mine, an industrial-mineral mine 12.1 miles west, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck works one of those sites, tell us which gate it sits behind and who can let us in. Photos of the cab, the body and the VIN plate let us ask the right questions from the start.
Propane south-east
Harford Mills LPG Terminal, a petroleum product terminal, appears in Energy Information Administration records 6.9 miles south-east of Dryden. Bobtails and tank trucks that load there are on the list of what we purchase. Keep the tank inspection paperwork with the truck so it travels with the sale.
If the propane truck is parked at the terminal lot rather than at home, give us the address and a contact on site. We collect the truck from wherever it stands, so you do not need to move it toward Dryden first.
Forty-one are private fleets hauling their own goods, so a sale here is often a single owner-operated truck or a farm unit, and we handle both the same way.
General freight leads the cargo listed by those carriers at 18, followed by grain, feed and hay at 16, farm supplies at 14 and logs, poles, beams and lumber at 10, per the same FMCSA census. The biggest fleet on file runs five power units, so if you own one or two trucks you are the typical seller in this town.
Driver records filed with FMCSA show 120 drivers working within 100 miles against 33 going farther, and the median annual distance reported by 14 carriers comes to 10,000 miles a truck. Have the odometer reading and the last registration renewal on hand when you get in touch.
Dairy and hay
Around Dryden, Tompkins County holds 487 farms, and milk, corn and cattle lead their sales in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Milk tankers, grain trucks, livestock haulers and the farm’s own straight trucks all fit what we take.
A farm truck is often parked in a barn or at the edge of a field instead of a yard. Tell us the farm road, whether a tractor-trailer can turn in, and when someone will be about to hand over the keys and the signed title.
A tow or a lowboy can reach most addresses in the area without a detour around a weight limit.
That leaves the last stretch, your driveway, field or lot, as the part to describe. Send a photo of the approach along with the photos of the truck itself.
Titles here are issued by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and its Cortland office at 112 River St, Cortland, is 10.4 miles from Dryden according to the department’s own office list. If the title is missing, a replacement goes through that office or another DMV office before the sale can close.
Start the replacement as soon as you decide to sell, and tell us when you contact us that the title is on its way. The registration, the VIN and your photo ID are what the DMV asks about first.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 862 jobs in Dryden in 2023, with transportation and warehousing making up 86 of them, a tenth of the total. Box trucks and straight trucks from that local work are part of what we collect.
A contractor’s dump truck, flatbed or service body truck can be sold off the job site; give us the site address and the name of whoever is in charge there.
