Peninsula carriers and their own goods
Of the 124 active Great Neck carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 81 haul only their own goods as private fleets. A private-fleet box truck or pickup-and-trailer is usually parked at the owner’s shop or home on the peninsula, so give us that street address and the name of whoever holds the keys.
Of those 124 carriers, 102 are registered for intrastate work and 22 for interstate, according to the same FMCSA census. If your Great Neck truck carries only a New York intrastate registration, have the current registration card and the title in the name on that card before we talk; that pairing is what lets the sale close cleanly.
New registrations have been steady but small: FMCSA’s census records 6 new carriers in Great Neck in 2024 and 5 in 2025. A newer operation selling its first truck should gather the bill of sale it bought the truck with, plus the title, so the chain of ownership is complete.
General freight, moving vans and refuse trucks
General freight leads the cargo listings in FMCSA’s carrier census for Great Neck, with 53 carriers, followed by household goods at 14. Straight trucks with lift gates and moving vans fit that mix, so photograph the box interior, the lift gate and the cab, and note the body length when you write to us.
Thirteen local carriers list garbage, refuse and trash as cargo, and 12 list fresh produce, per FMCSA’s census. A packer body or a reefer unit has its own service history apart from the chassis; keep the body or refrigeration unit records with the truck’s paperwork and send the model plate photo along with the VIN.
Short routes around the peninsula
Drivers for Great Neck carriers mostly work close in: the FMCSA census counts 190 operating within 100 miles and 65 beyond that radius. A truck that stays inside that radius is most often found at a yard or curbside near its base, which is where we plan to collect it.
Twenty-three Great Neck carriers filed annual mileage with FMCSA, and the middle of that group logs 10,000 miles a truck each year. Read the odometer and photograph it when you contact us; that figure and the VIN are the first two things we ask for.
In FMCSA’s census, the three biggest Great Neck fleets field 11, 9 and 6 power units, with 15, 13 and 15 drivers. If you are selling several units from a fleet that size, list each VIN and where each one is parked so the collections can be arranged together.
Terminals and yards
Fuel terminals east and west of town
The Energy Information Administration lists the Glennwood Landing petroleum product terminal 4.8 miles east of Great Neck, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Global Companies liquid bulk terminal 4.9 miles out in the same direction. A tank truck or fuel delivery unit that loads there can be collected at its home lot; tell us whether gate access needs an escort.
Westward, 6.3 miles away, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records The Energy Conservation Group liquid bulk terminal, which the Energy Information Administration also lists as a petroleum product terminal. Have the tank’s inspection records on hand for a fuel truck that served either side, since they travel with the sale.
Jamaica Yard sits 8 miles south-west on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and Red Hook Container Terminal, an intermodal ramp, lies 16.5 miles away per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that pulls containers off Red Hook can stay parked by the ramp; we come to it there.
Wholesalers, contractors and the gravel pit
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 1,918 jobs in Great Neck in 2023, with 113 in wholesale trade and 92 in construction. Wholesale delivery trucks and contractor dump or stake-body trucks both come out of that work, and each needs its title and registration ready at pickup.
Contractors keep 21 establishments in Great Neck on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally for construction. A contractor’s truck often sits at a job site or a home driveway; send the address, a photo of the body, and any equipment mounted on it, such as a crane or plow frame.
Sixteen miles east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Broad Hollow Estates Inc as a sand and gravel operation. A dump truck that hauls from a pit like that can be collected at the pit or the yard, wherever it is kept.
Duplicate titles at the Flushing counter
For a lost title, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at College Point, 30-56 Whitestone Expressway in Flushing, is 5.9 miles from Great Neck. Apply for the duplicate there before the sale, and bring your registration and photo ID to the counter.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation lists enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus Regulation as paused. Keep the emissions label on the engine visible in your photos so the engine family is clear.
Out in Nassau County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 29 farms, led by equine operations and cut flowers. A horse hauler or nursery stake truck from one of them goes through the same title steps at College Point.
