Timber and feed haulers
Lumber, feed and general freight out of Lowville
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 125 active carriers based in Lowville, with 48 hauling general freight and 47 carrying logs, poles, beams and lumber. A log truck or a flatbed tractor parked in a Lowville yard is the sort of thing we come up to collect.
Farm supplies are listed by 32 local carriers and grain, feed and hay by 29, according to the same FMCSA census. If your truck has hauled feed or hay between Lewis County farms, tell us the body type and the trailer it pulled, and send the VIN with your first message.
Mostly in-state fleets that stay close to home
Only 8 of Lowville’s carriers run interstate and 117 stay intrastate, with 92 of them registered as private fleets hauling their own goods, as FMCSA’s census records them. A private-fleet truck often sits on the owner’s own property, so give us that address and say whether a tractor can reach it.
Drivers based here split 245 within a 100-mile radius and 78 beyond it in the FMCSA carrier census. Among the 24 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 9,000 miles a truck per year; have the odometer reading ready when you contact us.
A 20-truck outfit tops the FMCSA registry for Lowville, ahead of fleets with 10 and 8 power units. Whether you own one truck or a yard of them, list each VIN and where each one is parked, and we plan the pickup truck by truck.
Model years on trucks inspectors checked near Lowville
Lowville trucks pulled for roadside checks from September 2024 to August 2026 numbered 42, and FMCSA’s inspection records put their median model year at 2017.5. Put the model year in your first message along with the make and model.
Inspectors found that 47.6 percent of those 42 trucks were ten or more model years old, per the same FMCSA roadside records. Older or newer, we buy commercial trucks of every model year, so send photos of the cab, the frame and the tires whichever it is.
Stone, rail and the base
Quarries, the Carthage rail yard and Fort Drum
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the West Carthage Mine, a crushed-stone quarry 17.2 miles north-west of Lowville, and the Watertown Plant quarry 23.4 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck that hauled stone from either one can be collected wherever it is parked, at the pit or back home in town.
North of town, NO. 4 MINE is an industrial-mineral site 23.8 miles away on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. The CARTHAGE rail yard sits 16.8 miles north-west on the North American Rail Network, and Fort Drum is 23.9 miles north according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics; tell us which of these places your truck is nearest so we can plan the route.
Dairy farms, plants and building crews in Lewis County
Milk, cattle and corn head the product list for Lewis County’s 476 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A milk tanker or livestock hauler kept on a farm lane is easy for us to reach if you describe the turnaround and the gate.
Lowville workplaces held 1,992 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and 710 of them, 35.6 percent, were in manufacturing. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 16 construction establishments here, so a contractor’s dump or stake-body truck parked at a job site is something we can arrange to load there.
Sorting a missing title on East State Street
Six tenths of a mile from the middle of town, the LOWVILLE office of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles stands at 7513 E State St, Lowville. If the title for your truck is lost, that office is where a duplicate is requested.
Have the title, the current registration and any service records together before pickup day. If a lienholder is still listed on the title, tell us at the start so the release can be sorted with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.
Carriers registered in Lowville during 2024 and 2025
In 2025, FMCSA’s carrier census recorded 8 new carriers registering in Lowville, after 9 the year before. A new operator selling a first truck needs the same things as anyone else: the title in the seller’s name, the registration and clear photos.
If your operating authority is closing out with FMCSA, keep the truck’s paperwork with the truck itself. We collect from the yard, the farm or the roadside lot where it stands in Lowville or the surrounding county.
