A village of small fleets
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 29 active carriers in Hastings-on-Hudson, and 26 of them operate as private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your truck belongs to a business like that, the person who signs the sale should be whoever’s name is on the title, so check that before you call.
The three biggest operators here run 6, 4 and 3 power units, according to FMCSA’s census. A fleet that size often has a single truck to retire rather than a yard full; one VIN, one title and a few photos of the cab, frame and tires are enough for us to start.
Only 4 of the village’s carriers are registered for interstate work while 25 stay intrastate, by FMCSA’s count. A truck that has spent its working life inside New York usually has its registration and inspection stickers from this state, so have the current registration card ready with the title.
Refuse, timber, passengers and freight
General freight leads the cargo list at 9 carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, with garbage and refuse at 4, logs, poles, beams and lumber at 3, and passengers at 3. Box trucks, roll-offs, rear loaders, log trucks and buses all fit what we collect, so tell us the body type when you first get in touch.
For a refuse truck, list the packer or hoist make along with the chassis; for a lumber hauler, mention the trailer or boom if it goes with the sale. Those details let us plan the right equipment for the pickup in a village of narrow hillside streets.
FMCSA’s records show 3 passenger operators based here. If you are selling a bus or van, note the seating capacity and any lift on board, and send a photo of the interior along with the exterior shots.
Short loops along the river towns
Of the drivers working for carriers based here, 49 stay within 100 miles of home and 5 go farther, the FMCSA census shows. That usually means the truck is parked somewhere nearby at night, which is where we come to collect it; give us that address, not the office one.
Across 8 carriers that report mileage, the median truck in Hastings-on-Hudson covered 8,333 miles a year in FMCSA’s census. Read the current odometer off the dash and send it with the VIN, since that pair answers most of our first questions.
One new operator registered in 2024 and another in 2025, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If yours is one of them and the truck is still under a lender, have the lienholder’s name and contact ready so the payoff can be arranged.
West Nyack stone, Bronx fuel, Oak Point rails
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists West Nyack Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 9.2 miles north-west across the river, and Haverstraw Quarry and Mill 13.4 miles north. If your dump truck or mixer has hauled stone from either, say which one, and we will arrange to meet the truck wherever it is now parked.
Eleven and a half miles east sits Westmore Fuel, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records as a liquid bulk terminal and the Energy Information Administration as a petroleum product terminal. The Energy Information Administration places the Bronx petroleum terminal 12.6 miles south, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts Sprague 12.8 miles south. If your tanker served any of them, keep its tank test certificates with the truck.
Oak Point rail yard lies about 12.3 miles south of the village, per the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that has shuttled loads around that yard can be picked up on site, as long as someone can let us through the gate.
Yonkers DMV, one posted bridge, paused rules
Down Broadway in Yonkers, 3.8 miles from the village, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles keeps an office at 1 Larkin Plaza. If the title is lost, that office can issue a duplicate, and bringing your ID and the registration speeds the visit.
Of the 8 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records in the village, 1 carries a posted load limit and none clears under 14 feet. Tell us where the truck is parked and which streets reach it, and we will plan a route clear of the posted crossing.
Enforcement is on hold for two state rules, Advanced Clean Trucks and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus, according to New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Neither changes what you need for a sale: title, registration and photos.
Builders’ rigs and Westchester horse farms
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed 2,210 jobs in Hastings-on-Hudson, 89 of them, or 4 percent, in construction. Contractors’ pickups, flatbeds and dump trucks are all trucks we take; a photo of the bed or body helps.
The village’s 24 construction establishments, as County Business Patterns tallies them, keep crews on sites across the river towns. If your firm has a truck sitting at a job site rather than in its yard, give us the site address and a contact on the ground.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 108 farms in Westchester County, with equine operations, potted flowering plants and foliage plants at the top. Horse haulers and nursery box trucks from those farms are welcome; send the farm address so the pickup goes to the barn or greenhouse.
