Two fuel terminals within five miles to the west
The Energy Information Administration lists the Lawrence Blending Terminal, a petroleum product terminal 4.2 miles west of Harbor Isle, and a second terminal at Inwood 4.6 miles out in the same direction. If your tractor or tank truck has loaded at either one, tell us which rack it used and send the VIN, the registration and a few clear photos of the cab and tank.
Both of those Energy Information Administration sites sit under five miles from town. Whether your truck is parked at a yard close by or in the driveway at home, give us that address when you first get in touch so the pickup can be planned for the spot where the truck actually sits.
Jamaica’s rail yards and the bulk docks beyond them
On the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Jamaica Yard lies 10 miles north-west of Harbor Isle and a second Jamaica yard 10.4 miles away. Day cabs that shuttle freight to and from rail yards like these are part of what we purchase, so list the trailers your tractor has pulled when you describe it.
Farther out, The Energy Conservation Group runs a liquid bulk terminal 15.5 miles north-west and Global Companies another 15.8 miles north, both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. For a tanker that has worked those docks, keep any loading or inspection paperwork with the title, since it tells us where the truck has been.
Tri-axles hauling aggregate from Broad Hollow Estates Inc
Broad Hollow Estates Inc is a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 16.8 miles north-east of the island. Owners of dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate out of a site like that can sell them to us from wherever the truck is kept.
When you contact us about a gravel hauler, include the body type, the axle setup and photos of the bed and frame, and say whether the truck is at the pit, at a yard or at your home on Long Island.
Horse farms and cut flowers around Nassau’s farmland
Nassau County has 29 farms, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names equine operations and cut flowers with cultivated greens as its leading categories. Box trucks, stake beds and horse-hauling tractors working around those Harbor Isle area operations are trucks we will look at.
If your truck serves a stable or a flower grower in the county, note what it carried and how the body is fitted out, and photograph the cargo area along with the cab so we see the whole truck.
Rockaway Boulevard
A lost certificate goes through the Jamaica TVB office
Ownership papers in this state come from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and its nearest office to Harbor Isle is Queens South TVB at 168-35 Rockaway Blvd in Jamaica, 6.8 miles from town. If the title certificate for your truck has gone missing, a replacement is requested from that department before the sale can close.
Have the registration and your photo ID with you when you deal with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and send us a copy of the title once it is in hand so the bill of sale can match the names on it.
Harbor Isle diesels under two paused DEC programs
For a Harbor Isle tractor, the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation is on the books, though the Department of Environmental Conservation shows its enforcement paused for now. Harbor Isle owners selling a diesel do not need to sort that rule out first; tell us the model year and engine and we handle the rest.
The DEC lists its Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation as paused too, so a seller on the island can leave that one to us as well. For a truck you are selling here, photograph the engine family plate and note the model year.
