Stone six miles out
Hopewell Junction dump trucks and the Clinton Point stone
Clinton Point Quarry & Mill, a crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 6.7 miles west of Hopewell Junction, and Fishkill Quarry is 7.1 miles to the south-west. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls stone between those faces and job sites around town is the kind of truck we collect. Tell us whether it is parked at a quarry yard or at your house so the pickup goes to the right gate.
Two sand and gravel sites also appear in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing: Century Aggregates Fishkill Mine at 7.3 miles south-west and RW-Billings, 7.8 miles off to the north-east. If your truck splits its week between those pits, send photos of the body, the hoist and the cab, plus the VIN, and we can start from there.
A quarry truck often carries site paperwork from the operator. Keep any gate passes or service sheets with the title; they help us read the truck’s history alongside the pictures.
Tank tractors at the racks
New Hamburg, Roseton and Poughkeepsie terminals
On the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ port list, New Hamburg is a liquid bulk terminal 7.2 miles west of town. The Energy Information Administration places the Roseton petroleum product terminal 8.7 miles west and the Poughkeepsie terminal 9.8 miles to the north-west. Tank tractors that load at those racks for runs back through Hopewell Junction are on our list; tell us which trailer, if any, comes with the tractor.
Danskammer Plant, a rail yard carried in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is 8 miles west across the river. A tractor that has shuttled loads from that yard can be sold from wherever it sits; give us the street address and say whether a lowboy can get in beside it.
Lumber, refuse and freight carriers registered in Hopewell Junction
Hopewell Junction is home base for 303 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, in a place of 1,656 residents. Of those, the same census marks 255 as operating only inside New York and 48 as crossing state lines, while 230 are private fleets moving their own goods. A private-fleet straight truck is as welcome as a for-hire tractor, so tell us which kind yours is when you get in touch.
General freight is the top cargo, listed by 116 of the local carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by machinery and large objects at 61, logs, poles, beams and lumber at 44, and garbage and refuse at 28. A log truck, a lowboy for equipment, or a rear-loader all fit what we purchase; name the body type up front.
Drivers tied to these carriers mostly stay close: the same FMCSA census counts 582 who work within 100 miles and 187 who go further. A typical Hopewell Junction truck logs about 12,000 miles a year, the median across 71 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA. Have the odometer reading ready along with the VIN.
Inspected Hopewell Junction rigs and their model years
Hopewell Junction carriers put 163 trucks through roadside checks from September 2024 to August 2026, according to FMCSA roadside inspection records. In those inspection records the median model year was 2018, and 38.65% were ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, send the year, make and model with the first message.
Outfits in Hopewell Junction range from one-truck owners to sizeable yards. One carrier runs 125 power units with 90 drivers, another 23 units with 10 drivers, and a third 20 units with 4 drivers, according to the carrier census. If you are selling several trucks from one yard, list each VIN so the collection can be planned as one visit.
Contractors and farm haulers
Builders, dairies and horse farms around town
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 96 construction establishments for the area, and its LEHD job counts put 943 jobs in Hopewell Junction in 2023. Contractors’ dump trucks, flatbeds and crane trucks often sit in a shop lot rather than at a home; tell us which.
Around town and across the rest of Dutchess County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 620 farms, with milk, equine and deer leading the sales list. A cattle hauler, a horse van or a feed truck from one of those farms can be collected on the farm itself, so give us the farm road and gate details.
Replacement title on Marshall Road
Wappingers Falls DMV office, under five miles away
A Hopewell Junction owner missing a title can drive 4.9 miles to Wappingers Falls, where the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles keeps an office at 29 Marshall Rd. If the title is missing, apply for a replacement there or through the DMV’s title page before the pickup, and keep the registration with it.
New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation lists two heavy-duty rules, the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation. The state has put enforcement of each one on hold for now. For a Hopewell Junction sale, the title and registration are the papers we ask you to have on hand.
