One big operator
One large operator beside two-truck outfits
The largest operation registered in Lake Success runs 695 power units and 1,002 drivers, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, while the next two hold 4 tractors with 1 driver and 3 tractors with 3 drivers. If you are clearing several units out of a yard, send us a list of VINs and the lot address for each so one visit can cover them.
Thirty-five active carriers carry a Lake Success address in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 21 of them are private fleets moving their own goods rather than freight for hire. A company truck needs someone with signing authority for the business named on the title, so tell us who that person is when you first get in touch.
New registrations have been steady but small: FMCSA’s census shows 4 carriers starting in 2024 and 3 more in 2025. If yours is a young business letting go of its first tractor, have the title, the current registration and your USDOT number together before we talk.
Most drivers here work far from home
Of the drivers tied to Lake Success carriers, 858 run past a 100-mile radius and 182 stay inside it, per FMCSA’s carrier census. A sleeper that spends its weeks on the road may be sitting at a terminal in another state when you decide to sell, and we collect it where it is parked.
Only 9 of the village’s 35 carriers are cleared for interstate work in the FMCSA census; the other 26 operate within New York. An intrastate box truck or dump truck is most likely garaged somewhere in Nassau County, so give us the street address and a gate contact.
Five carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA put the median at 12,000 miles per truck a year. Write the odometer reading down next to the VIN before you call; those two figures are the first things we ask for.
Coil, produce, machinery
General freight, steel coil and produce loads
Nineteen Lake Success carriers list general freight in FMCSA’s census, and four each list heavy machinery, metal sheets and coils, and fresh produce. Dry vans, flatbeds with coil racks, lowboys and reefer units all fit what we collect, so photograph the trailer setup or body along with the cab.
A reefer tractor or straight truck from the produce side should come with whatever records you kept for the refrigeration unit. For a flatbed that hauled coil or machinery, a note of the axle layout and deck length helps us match it to its VIN.
Recent model years
Tractors stopped at roadside were mostly late-model
Across two years of stops, from August 2024 to August 2026, inspectors checked 474 Lake Success trucks, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put the middle one at model year 2024. Just over one in twenty of those 474, roughly 5.1 percent by the same FMCSA roadside records, dated back a decade or further.
Whatever year yours is, the paperwork is the same: title, registration, and any inspection reports from those roadside stops. Keeping them in one folder means the questions we ask afterward are about the truck itself.
Racks, yards, a pit
Glennwood Landing, Jamaica Yard and a sand pit to the east
The Energy Information Administration lists the Glennwood Landing petroleum product terminal 5.6 miles north-east of the village, with a liquid bulk terminal run by Global Companies 5.7 miles out in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list. A tanker tractor parked near those racks can stay there; tell us who controls the lot.
To the south-west, Jamaica Yard lies 6.5 miles away and a second Jamaica yard 7.2 miles away on the North American Rail Network. West of town at about 7.2 miles, the Energy Information Administration records The Energy Conservation Group’s petroleum terminal, so a truck working that side may well be parked west of the village.
Head 15.1 miles east of the village and you reach Broad Hollow Estates, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists as a sand and gravel pit. A tri-axle dump that hauls from that pit can be collected at the site if the operator lets us in.
The nearest New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office for Lake Success owners is JAMAICA, at 168-46 91st Ave in Jamaica, 5.7 miles from the village. If the title has gone missing, request a replacement certificate through the DMV and tell us when it was applied for.
New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation shows enforcement paused for both the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus Regulation. For a sale, what matters is the title in the seller’s name, the registration and a photo ID.
Office jobs, contractors and horse farms
Lake Success held 7,958 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with 116 in construction and 103 in transportation and warehousing, 1.5 and 1.3 percent of the total. A contractor’s dump truck or a warehouse straight truck is welcome; have the company’s registration on hand.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 21 construction establishments, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture puts 29 farms in Nassau County, led by equine and cut flower operations. A truck that pulled horse trailers or delivered nursery stock comes to us with the same title and registration as any other.
The questions we get asked in Lake Success
- My company runs a large fleet out of Lake Success. Can several trucks go in one pickup?FMCSA’s carrier census lists a Lake Success operation with 695 power units, so multi-truck sales are familiar here. Send each VIN with its yard address and we will plan the collection around them.
- My sleeper is out of state on a long run. Do I have to bring it back to the village first?858 drivers working for Lake Success carriers run beyond 100 miles in FMCSA’s carrier census, so trucks parked far from the village are common. Give us the address where it sits and a contact there.
- Do you take reefer trucks from produce haulers?Four Lake Success carriers list fresh produce in FMCSA’s census, and their reefer tractors and straight trucks are ones we collect. Include photos of the refrigeration unit with the cab.
