Pits west, quarries north-east
Aggregate and cut block within seven miles of the village
Yole Pit, a sand and gravel operation 2.9 miles west of town, is the nearest site the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists, and Hartford Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, sits 3.6 miles to the south-east. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs aggregate out of either one can be collected at the pit gate if that is where it parks. Tell us which site it works from and who holds the gate key.
Up the road toward Whitehall, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Fort Ann Site dimension-stone quarry 4.5 miles north-east, Braen Stone of Whitehall at 5.6 miles and North Quarry at 7. Flatbeds and heavy-haul rigs that carry cut block from those faces are trucks we buy. Send photos of the deck, the cab and the plate on the door frame with your first message.
Hudson Valley Pit, a sand and gravel site the Mine Safety and Health Administration records 16.9 miles south-west, is the farthest of the operations around town. A truck parked down there needs no trip back to Fort Ann first; give us the yard address and a contact on site.
Two sidings past Whitehall
Loads off the Whitehall sidings, collected where they park
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows two Tub Mtn. yards at Whitehall, one 8.6 miles and one 8.9 miles north-east of Fort Ann. If your tractor has shuttled loads to or from those sidings, mention it when you get in touch.
A truck stored near the Whitehall tracks can stay right there for the sale. Send the VIN, a clear shot of the odometer and the spot where it sits, and the pickup is planned around that location rather than your home address.
Fort Ann outfits that rarely cross into Vermont
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 92 active carriers based in Fort Ann, and 74 of them run intrastate only against 18 crossing state lines. Private fleets account for 62 of them in the same census, hauling a business’s own goods. A farm, logging or contracting operation selling one of its own units is a sale we handle the same as an owner-operator’s.
Drivers in this town mostly stay near base: on the federal carrier census, 146 drivers work inside a hundred-mile radius while 39 go farther. That means a truck is usually parked within reach of Fort Ann itself, at a shop, a farm or a jobsite, when it comes time to collect it.
Even the leading operations in Fort Ann stay modest: the three biggest on FMCSA’s carrier census run 13, 9 and 9 power units, with three to five drivers each. An owner thinning a fleet that size can sell one truck or several, and each comes with its own title.
Timber, hay and heavy kit
What Fort Ann carriers put on a trailer
General freight leads the cargo lines on FMCSA’s register for Fort Ann carriers, at 32, with logs, poles, beams and lumber tied with machinery and large objects at 26 apiece. Log trucks, lowboys and box or van rigs all fit that spread. Tell us what the truck hauled so our questions start in the right place.
Thirteen local carriers list grain, feed and hay with the federal carrier census, and the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 750 farms in Washington County, where milk, cattle and corn rank first. A hay truck or grain hauler parked at a dairy barn can be collected from the farm lane.
Construction is in the mix too: County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 18 construction establishments for the area. A dump truck or equipment hauler from a contractor’s yard is a truck we take.
Roadside checks, Nov 2024 on
How old the Fort Ann trucks stopped at roadside run
Across 42 trucks checked between November 2024 and July 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2019, and 38.1% were ten or more years old. Whatever the year on yours, the registration and any service records you have belong in the folder you hand over.
For the 24 Fort Ann carriers that report annual mileage, the federal carrier census shows a median of 10,000 miles per truck. Read the odometer before you call and include it with the VIN; those two figures answer most of what we ask first.
New authority keeps arriving: FMCSA’s carrier census lists four carriers that registered here in 2025 and three in 2024. A recently started operation selling a truck needs the same title and registration as anyone else.
Replacing a missing certificate ten miles south
A drive of 10.1 miles takes a Fort Ann owner to 383 Broadway, Fort Edward, where the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles keeps its Fort Edward office. If the title for your truck is missing, that office is the nearest place to apply for a replacement certificate.
Start the replacement before the truck is collected, and keep the receipt the DMV office gives you. A registration in the same name as the title, plus any lien release, completes the paperwork for the sale.
Albany emissions notices
Two heavy-duty standards on hold for Fort Ann sellers
The Department of Environmental Conservation lists two heavy-duty rules for New York, the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation, and the state’s own notices say enforcement of both is on hold.
A Washington County seller faces no extra step from either rule today. Have the title and registration in order for the Fort Ann truck, and the sale goes ahead on those.
The questions we get asked in Fort Ann
- Braen Stone’s yard is where my tri-axle sits between jobs; does it have to come into Fort Ann for you to collect it?Braen Stone of Whitehall sits 5.6 miles north-east of Fort Ann on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from a site like that. Send the quarry address plus the name of whoever unlocks the yard there.
- Which DMV office near Fort Ann can reissue a title I have misplaced?Fort Edward’s office of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, at 383 Broadway, is 10.1 miles from town and handles replacement title certificates. Filing that application ahead of pickup keeps the Fort Ann sale on track.
- Will you take a Washington County log truck or a hay hauler off a dairy farm?Twenty-six Fort Ann carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber with FMCSA’s carrier census, and thirteen list grain, feed and hay; trucks from both kinds of work are ones we buy.
- Does the clean truck rule stop me selling an older tractor?Enforcement of New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation is on hold, as the state’s notice says, so a clear title and current registration are what the sale needs.
