Eastchester’s registered haulers stay close to home
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 54 active carriers based in Eastchester, and 46 of them are authorised for intrastate work only, against 8 that cross state lines. An intrastate-only truck stays on New York roads, so when you get in touch, tell us the yard or driveway where it sleeps rather than a route.
Of those 54, the federal census marks 43 as private fleets, meaning the trucks move the owner’s own goods instead of freight for hire. If yours belonged to a contractor, a landscaper or a supply business, the title is usually in the business name; have whoever signs for the company ready, along with the current registration.
Fleet sizes stay modest: the leading entries in FMCSA’s carrier census run 5, 4 and 4 power units, with 5, 3 and 2 drivers. With operations that small, the person selling is often the person who drove it, which makes a walk-around set of photos of the cab, frame and tyres the easiest thing to send first.
Box trucks, packers and produce runs
In FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is the cargo declared by 25 local carriers. Send the body length and the liftgate details with the VIN so we know which kind of box you have.
Five local carriers list garbage, refuse and trash in their FMCSA filings. Rear-loaders and roll-off hoists used on Westchester collection routes are part of what we purchase; note the body maker and the hoist type, and tell us whether the packer is mounted or stored separately.
Another four list machinery and large objects, and four list fresh produce, per the same census. For a reefer straight truck, include the refrigeration unit’s make and its hour meter reading; for a rollback or lowboy, a photo of the deck and the ramps answers most of what we would ask.
Terminals east and south-west of town
Westmore Fuel Co, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists as a liquid bulk terminal, sits about 8.1 miles east of Eastchester; the Energy Information Administration carries the same site as a petroleum product terminal. If your truck delivered heating oil or diesel from there, keep any tank inspection certificates with the title so they come with the truck.
To the south-west, the Energy Information Administration lists the Bronx petroleum product terminal 11.6 miles away, and Sprague’s liquid bulk terminal is 11.9 miles out according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tank wagon parked near either one can stay there; give us the lot address and someone who can unlock the gate, and we collect it on site.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Oak Point rail yard between 11.3 and 11.9 miles south-west in the Bronx. Drayage tractors that shuttle between Oak Point and Westchester warehouses fit what we take; a clear shot of the fifth wheel and the axle tags helps.
Crushed-stone quarries to the north-west
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the West Nyack Quarry as a crushed-stone operation 13 miles north-west of Eastchester. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate from there back to Westchester job sites are welcome; tell us the body length and whether it carries a tarp system.
Further up, the Haverstraw Quarry & Mill sits 16.8 miles north-west, another crushed-stone site on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. A truck parked at a yard out that way can stay put; send the address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
Construction and wholesale jobs nearby
Construction accounts for 513 of the 6,990 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed in Eastchester in 2023, a 7.3 percent share. County Business Patterns, also from the Census Bureau, records 25 construction establishments here. Contractors’ dump bodies, stake beds and utility trucks are all trucks we buy; a photo of each side of the body and the plate is a good start.
In the same 2023 LEHD release, wholesale trade held 143 jobs and transportation and warehousing 96. Delivery trucks tied to those jobs usually spend nights in a commercial lot, so tell us whether the lot needs advance notice before someone arrives to collect.
The Yonkers DMV office and state emissions status
The nearest New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office is at 1 Larkin Plaza in Yonkers, 5.1 miles from Eastchester. If the title is lost, that office handles a duplicate application, and starting it before you contact us keeps the sale moving once the truck is checked.
New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation lists enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation as paused, and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus rule carries the same paused status. Neither changes what you bring: the title, the registration and any service records you have kept.
Eastchester added 1 newly registered carrier in 2024 and 3 more in 2025, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started a small operation in that window and are now selling the truck, have the USDOT number handy, since it ties the truck to your filing.
The questions we get asked in Eastchester
- My tank truck stays at a lot by the Westmore fuel terminal east of Eastchester; does it need moving first?Westmore Fuel Co is about 8.1 miles east of Eastchester on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ terminal list, and we collect from wherever the truck stands. Pass along the Westmore-area lot address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
- I lost the title to my Eastchester truck; is the Yonkers DMV the place to start?Eastchester’s closest New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office is at 1 Larkin Plaza, Yonkers, 5.1 miles away. Apply for the duplicate there and tell us it is in progress when you reach out.
- Do you take garbage trucks from Westchester routes?Five Eastchester carriers list refuse hauling with FMCSA, and packers and roll-offs like theirs are trucks we buy. Send the body make, the hoist type and photos of both sides.
- Does the paused clean-truck enforcement in New York affect my sale?Westchester owners face the Advanced Clean Trucks and Low NOx Omnibus rules listed as enforcement paused by the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation, so the paperwork stays the same: title, registration and records.
