Rail yards and the intermodal ramp around Lyncourt
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the DeWitt Shops rail yard 2.4 miles south-east of Lyncourt and the Solvay yard 4.3 miles west. Wherever a tractor that shuttled between those two yards is parked now, we collect it there. Send us the yard or street address along with photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel.
East of town, 4.6 miles out, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Syracuse, NY rail intermodal ramp. Day cabs that drayed containers off that ramp are trucks we buy. Have the VIN, the odometer reading and the registration ready before you call; those three cover most of what we ask about a container tractor.
Tankers pulled from the CSXT transfer site east of Lyncourt
Three miles east of Lyncourt, the Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminal appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. A tractor that pulled tank trailers in and out of a rail-to-truck transfer site like that one usually carries a paper trail: site inspections, service records, safety sign-offs. Keep those with the truck and send them over with your photos.
Selling the tractor without the tanker, or the tanker without the tractor, is fine. Tell us which pieces you own, whether the title is in your name or a company name, and where each unit is parked between Transflo and your home yard.
Stone and dump
Jamesville quarries south-east of town
According to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the Jamesville Plant crushed-stone quarry sits 6 miles south-east of Lyncourt, with the Kinsella Jamesville Barrett Plant at 6.4 miles. Dump trucks, tri-axles and tractors with end-dump trailers are what stone plants like these put on the road, and we purchase all of them.
If your dump truck is still parked at a quarry lot near Jamesville, you do not need to move it to town. Give us the gate details and a contact who can let us in, and include a photo of the body and the hoist with the rest of your pictures.
Employers on the map
Manufacturing, building and warehouse rigs around Lyncourt
Of 2,988 jobs counted here in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, manufacturing held 385, construction 263, transportation and warehousing 210 and wholesale trade 155. Box trucks, flatbeds, stake beds and straight trucks show up in each of those lines of work, alongside the semis.
If you are a contractor with one truck you no longer need, or a small warehouse operation clearing out a delivery unit, the steps are the same: photos from all four sides, the title, and the current registration. Company-titled trucks need someone with signing authority for that business.
Milk and corn country
Dairy and grain hauling in Onondaga County
Milk leads the product list for Onondaga County’s 572 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, ahead of corn and then cattle. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and milk tankers from those farms are commercial trucks we buy, whether they are kept at the barn or at a yard closer to Lyncourt.
Farm trucks are often titled years before anyone thinks of selling them. Look for the title early, check that the name on it matches yours or the farm’s, and photograph the body as well as the chassis.
Replacing a title and the paused clean-truck rules
A lost title is replaced through the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, which lists its North Syracuse office at 5801 East Taft Road, 3.2 miles from Lyncourt. Start that request before you list the truck, since we need the title in hand to finish the purchase.
For a Lyncourt seller, the paused status that New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation gives both Advanced Clean Trucks and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus means nothing extra to file. Selling a diesel truck to us needs no emissions paperwork beyond what the DMV already asks for.
The questions we get asked in Lyncourt

Tell us the address and any access rules for the site.

Take your ID and the VIN off the cab to that Taft Road counter.
- I run a tri-axle hauling stone out of the Jamesville plants, so would you purchase it straight from the quarry lot?Dump trucks from the Jamesville Plant and the Kinsella Jamesville Barrett Plant, 6 and 6.4 miles south-east of town per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, are exactly the kind we purchase. Send photos and the location of the lot.
