Own-goods carriers
Own-goods fleets on the Fort Edward carrier rolls
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 119 active motor carriers based in Fort Edward, and 84 of them are private fleets moving their own goods rather than for-hire freight. If your truck belongs to a business that hauls its own materials, it fits that picture, and we buy it straight from the business that owns it.
Of those carriers, the federal census records 99 working intrastate only and 19 crossing state lines. A truck registered for New York-only work and one with interstate authority are both trucks we collect; tell us which registration yours carries so the paperwork we ask for matches it.
On FMCSA’s register, the largest Fort Edward outfit fields 19 power units with 19 drivers, the next 11 units with 9 drivers, and the third 9 units with 10 drivers. Whether you are selling a single tractor or several units from a yard of that size, list each VIN separately and we will arrange the collection around where each one is parked.
Timber, feed and heavy equipment on Washington County roads
General freight leads the cargo listings at 44 carriers in FMCSA’s census, followed by machinery and large objects at 27, logs, poles, beams and lumber at 24, and grain, feed and hay at 18. Log trucks, flatbeds, lowboys and grain bodies are all part of what we take, so describe the body and any trailer that goes with it.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 750 farms in Washington County, with milk, cattle and corn leading its sales. A farm truck that has hauled feed or silage corn around the county can be sold from the barnyard where it stands; send photos of the body, the cab and the plate along with the VIN.
Hudson Falls, Hartford and Fort Ann stone sites
Hudson Falls Plant 31, a crushed-stone quarry, lies 5.2 miles north, and Hudson Valley Pit, a sand and gravel operation, is 6.7 miles west, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run between those sites and local jobs are trucks we collect, and they can be picked up at the yard where they are kept.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Hartford Quarry 9.1 miles north-east, Yole Pit 9.7 miles north and the Fort Ann dimension-stone quarry 15.6 miles north-east. If your truck is parked at one of those sites, give us the site contact so the gate can be opened when we arrive.
Washington County’s 30 construction establishments, as County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau tallies them, keep dump trucks and equipment haulers on the road. A contractor’s truck from one of those firms can be sold with its registration and any service records the office keeps on file.
The rail yard, the canal and a low bridge
The North American Rail Network places two Fort Edward rail yard locations 1.1 and 1.3 miles north-east of the village centre. If your truck has been working transload or yard moves out there, tell us where it is parked and who controls access to the lot.
Among 5 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records locally, East Street over the Champlain Canal has the lowest clearance at 13ft 11in, and 1 bridge is load-posted. Give us the street address of the truck so the carrier we send plans a route around that clearance.
NSA Saratoga Springs, a military installation 17.7 miles south-west on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, marks the southern edge of where Fort Edward trucks tend to be kept. A truck parked nearer Saratoga than the village does not need to be driven back here; we collect it from that address.
Ages and miles of local trucks
Roadside inspections FMCSA logged between September 2024 and August 2026 caught 58 Fort Edward-based trucks, whose median model year was 2018, with 36% at ten years or older. Whatever the model year on your title, include it with the VIN when you get in touch.
The median truck among 26 reporting carriers covers 15,330 miles a year, per FMCSA’s carrier census, and the same register lists 214 drivers working within 100 miles and 54 beyond it. Have the current odometer reading ready with the VIN when you contact us.
Plants in Fort Edward account for 374 jobs, 41% of the village’s 913 in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A box truck or straight truck that served a plant here is sold the same way as any tractor: VIN, title and photos.
Fort Edward’s DMV office on Broadway
Replacement titles for Fort Edward sellers go through the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, whose FORT EDWARD office sits at 383 Broadway, 1.4 miles from the village centre. If the title is lost or still lists a lienholder, request the new one there before the sale.
Bring the current New York registration and the title in the name of the person or business selling. If the truck is registered to a company, the person signing needs to be able to sign for that company.
The questions we get asked in Fort Edward
- My log truck sits at a cutting site north of Fort Edward, so must I haul it into the village before you collect?Logs, poles, beams and lumber are hauled by 24 Fort Edward carriers in FMCSA’s census, and many of their trucks sit at cutting sites. We collect from the site; give us directions and a contact there.
- Which Fort Edward office issues a replacement for a missing truck title?The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 383 Broadway, Fort Edward, 1.4 miles from the village, handles a replacement title request. Start it before the sale so the title is in hand when we collect.
- Is a dump truck parked out at the Hudson Valley gravel pit something you collect?Hudson Valley Pit, 6.7 miles west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is the kind of site we collect from. Send the pit’s gate contact along with the truck’s VIN and photos.
- Will you buy a farm truck from a dairy operation?Milk leads the 750 Washington County farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and farm trucks from those operations are trucks we buy. Send the VIN, the title and photos from the farm.
