Hillburn’s own rail yard on the south-east side
Hillburn’s rail yard lies 0.7 miles to the south-east, a distance taken from the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. If your tractor has shuttled loads to or from that yard, tell us so, and give us the street address where it is parked between runs so pickup can be arranged at that spot.
Further out, the North Croton yard appears 15.2 miles east in that same North American Rail Network listing. A Hillburn truck that works out of North Croton can still be collected where it is kept; send the VIN, a few clear photos of the cab and the chassis, and the registration, and we will set the collection point with you.
Quarries east toward Haverstraw and gravel to the north-west
East of Hillburn, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the West Nyack Quarry at 11 miles and the Haverstraw Quarry & Mill at 11.6 miles, both crushed-stone operations. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate out of those two sites are trucks we purchase, and a note on which quarry yours served helps us ask the right questions.
Slate Hill Sand & Gravel, a sand and gravel operation 24 miles north-west by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, is the other aggregate source within reach. If your dump body or trailer stays at a quarry gate rather than at home, give us that location and the name of the person who can open it for the driver.
General freight leads the Hillburn carrier roster
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 25 active carriers based in Hillburn, and 13 of them list general freight as cargo, while 4 haul garbage and refuse, 4 move logs, poles and lumber, and 3 carry refrigerated food. Box trucks, roll-offs, log trailers and reefers all fit what we take; tell us the body type and what it hauled.
Of those carriers, 21 run private fleets, 15 are cleared for interstate work and 10 stay intrastate, according to the same federal census. FMCSA’s carrier census shows the largest local operation running 12 power units with 5 drivers, so a seller here may be letting go of one truck or several; list each VIN and we will handle them together.
Drivers tied to Hillburn carriers mostly work close in: FMCSA records 50 drivers within 100 miles and 12 beyond that radius. Ten carriers reported annual mileage, and their median comes to 8,235 miles per truck in the federal census, so the odometer on a local hauler here can be modest; report it as it reads.
Roughly 36 percent of that Hillburn group carried a model year ten or more years back, per the same FMCSA inspection log.
Whatever the year on your title, send the model year, make and engine with the VIN. Attach inspection reports and service records from local shops too, since they tell us how the truck has been kept on file.
Nine bridges with no load postings around town
In the National Bridge Inventory maintained by the Federal Highway Administration, Hillburn has 9 bridges, none carrying a load posting and none with clearance below fourteen feet. A full-height tractor or loaded dump can generally be reached at its yard without a detour around a restricted span.
Even so, tell us about any tight driveway, gate width or soft lot surface at the place your truck is stored. That detail decides which recovery equipment we send to Hillburn.
A missing title is replaced through the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and its nearest office to Hillburn is the West Haverstraw office at 45 South Route 9W, West Haverstraw, about 11 miles away. Start the replacement there before pickup, or tell us the title is missing so we can walk through the steps with you.
Bring your registration and photo identification when you visit the West Haverstraw office. If a lender still holds a lien on the truck, have the lien release ready as well, because the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles title must be clear for the sale to close.
Construction leads the Hillburn job count
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 822 jobs in Hillburn, with construction holding 172 of them, or 20.9 percent, manufacturing 137 and transportation and warehousing 101. Seven construction establishments operate locally per County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau, and dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from that work are welcome here.
New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation and its Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus regulation are both on the books, with enforcement paused for each. Hillburn owners selling a diesel tractor or straight truck need no extra emissions paperwork from us beyond the title and registration.
