Fuel terminals up the road at Glenwood Landing
The Energy Information Administration lists the Glennwood Landing petroleum product terminal 5.1 miles north of Herricks, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Global Companies liquid bulk terminal at 5.2 miles in the same direction. A tank wagon or fuel tractor that loads at either site is one we collect from a yard or a home lot in Herricks; send the trailer type along with the tractor’s VIN so we know whether the tank goes with it.
Southwest of town, 9.4 miles out, sits the Long Island Blending Terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list, while the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records The Energy Conservation Group’s liquid bulk terminal 9.8 miles west. If your truck hauled product between those docks and the Glenwood Landing racks, keep any terminal access cards and loading records in the cab when we arrive; they belong to the truck’s paper trail, not to you.
Western rail
Jamaica’s rail yards, a short run west
Two yards named Jamaica appear on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, one 8.3 miles west of Herricks and the other at 9 miles. Box trucks and day cabs that shuttle freight off those yards into Nassau County are on the list of what we buy. Send a set of photos showing the cab, the box or fifth wheel, and the tires before anyone heads over.
When a truck that worked the Jamaica yards is now parked somewhere in Queens rather than back home in Herricks, give us that street address instead. We pick up where the truck sits, so the owner only needs to confirm someone can hand over keys at that spot.
Construction, gravel and the jobs based in Herricks
Of the 2,469 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts located in Herricks for 2023, construction accounted for 70, a 2.8 percent slice. Dump trucks, stake beds and contractor pickups registered to a Herricks address are trucks we purchase, and the registration card plus the title are the two papers to find first.
Out east, 12.6 miles from town, Broad Hollow Estates Inc runs a sand and gravel operation recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. For a dump truck or tri-axle that hauled aggregate from that pit to sites around Nassau County, note the body type, the axle count and the VIN in your first message so the details we ask about later are few.
Nassau horses and flowers
Horse farms and flower growers across Nassau County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 29 farms in Nassau County, with equine operations and cut flowers and cultivated greens at the top of the list. A horse hauler, a stake truck that moves feed, or a refrigerated box that carries cut flowers to market from one of those farms can be sold to us from the farm itself.
When a farm truck near Herricks sits on private land behind a gate, tell us who holds the key and whether a tow truck can turn around on the property. Include any farm plates or registration paperwork with the title, since those documents travel with the vehicle.
Oak St counter
Garden City office for a missing title
Herricks owners have a New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office 3.6 miles away, at 400 Oak St in Garden City. A seller who cannot find the title for a truck should start there with a request for a replacement, and bring the registration and a photo ID to the counter.
If a lender is still listed on the title, ask them for the lien release before you visit Oak St, so the replacement comes back clean. Once the new title is in hand, a photo of its front side is enough for us to start, and the original changes hands at pickup.
Where the two paused emissions rules leave a Herricks seller
New York has adopted the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus regulation, and enforcement of both is currently paused, according to the state’s published notices on heavy-duty vehicles. A Herricks owner selling a diesel tractor or box truck does not need any compliance filing from either rule to complete a sale to us.
Keep the engine’s emissions label legible and photograph it with the rest of the truck, since that sticker records the engine family and model year. It is one more line of the truck’s record that helps us identify it correctly.
The questions we get asked in Herricks
- My truck is parked near the Glenwood Landing terminals, not in Herricks. Does the pickup happen at that Glenwood Landing address?Glenwood Landing is about 5 miles north of Herricks on the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list, and we pick up from that area just as we would from a driveway in town. Send the exact address and the name of whoever can let us onto the lot.
- Which office near Herricks issues a replacement truck title?Garden City’s New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 400 Oak St is 3.6 miles away and handles replacement titles. Bring the registration and photo ID, plus a lien release if a lender appears on the old title.
- Do you buy horse trailers and trucks from the farms in Nassau County?Nassau County’s 29 farms, counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, lean toward equine operations, and the trucks that pull horse trailers for them are ones we purchase. Tell us whether the trailer is included and where both are kept.
