Stone west of the river
Mill and quarry faces a short haul from Glasco
The Mine Safety and Health Administration records the Mt Marion pit and mill, an industrial-mineral mine, just 1.6 miles west of Glasco. A tri-axle or tractor that loads there probably sits within a few minutes of home between shifts, so give us the yard address or the street where it parks and we will plan the collection at that spot.
South toward Kingston, the East Kingston crushed-stone quarry lies 6.4 miles out, while Catskill Quarry (ICC) is 10.1 miles north, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. If your dump body or tractor has worked either face, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together with the registration ahead of the pickup.
Sand and gravel also comes from across the river: RW-Roe-Jan is 7.5 miles east and Kearney Pit 13.2 miles north-east, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A truck stored on the Columbia County side can be collected where it stands; tell us which bank of the Hudson it is on.
Small fleets registered around Glasco
Glasco has 14 active motor carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 11 of them operate only inside New York while 3 cross state lines. For most sellers here that means the truck carries in-state plates and a New York registration, which is the document to have in hand alongside the title.
Nine of those fourteen are private fleets hauling their own goods, on FMCSA’s carrier census as well. If the truck belongs to a business rather than to you personally, have the company officer who can sign the title ready, and note the USDOT number painted on the door.
The biggest outfit on the census runs 5 power units with 2 drivers, and the next two run 2 power units each, FMCSA’s figures show. Selling one unit out of a small yard like that is ordinary for us; list which truck is going and where it sits among the others.
Pole trailers, refuse bodies and machine haulers
Five Glasco carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo on FMCSA’s carrier census, the same number that list general freight. Log trucks with a loader, or a tractor that pulls a pole trailer, are on our list; photograph the loader, the bunks and the frame rails along with the VIN plate.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows machinery and large objects on four local registrations and garbage, refuse and trash on two. For a roll-off, a rear loader or a tractor that pulls a lowboy, tell us the body or trailer type up front so the right questions come first.
Glasco’s builders are few: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tallies four construction establishments. A contractor’s dump truck or service body that parks behind a shop or near the river can be collected where it stands, with the gate contact named in advance.
Rail yard and petroleum terminals south of town
Down the river road, about 7.4 miles south-west of Glasco, sits the Kingston rail yard, as mapped on the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor has shuttled freight to that yard, write down the trailer types it pulled; that tells us how the fifth wheel and air lines were set up.
Fuel terminals sit on both sides of town: the Energy Information Administration lists one petroleum product terminal 8.2 miles south and another 17.1 miles north-east. A tank truck or fuel delivery straight truck should come with its tank inspection records and any hazmat placard details, so we can match what we see to what you tell us.
Kingston’s DMV office on Fair Street for Glasco owners
Glasco owners deal with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, whose Kingston office at 244 Fair St, Kingston is about 8.6 miles from town. If the certificate of title has gone missing, a replacement is ordered through that agency, and the Kingston office is the closest place to handle it in person.
Bring the registration, your photo ID and the VIN to the Fair Street counter, and ask for the replacement title application the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles uses. Once the new certificate arrives, send us a photo of the front so the owner name and VIN can be checked before pickup.
Barns along the Hudson
Horse, corn and cattle hauling nearby
Around Glasco and across the rest of Ulster County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 486 farms, with equine, corn and cattle at the top. A livestock trailer tractor, a grain truck or a flatbed used for hay belongs on our list just as a quarry truck does.
Farm trucks often carry farm plates or sit on a barn lot off the main road, so tell us the registration class and how a flatbed or rollback reaches the truck. The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 208 jobs in Glasco for 2023, and many of the trucks behind that work are parked on private land rather than in a yard.

- My dump truck is parked at a site near the Mt Marion mill. Will you pick it up beside the mill?Mt Marion pit and mill is 1.6 miles west of Glasco on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and we collect from sites like that.
