Four aggregate pits within a dozen miles of Macedon
The Walworth Plant, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 6.9 miles north of Macedon, is the closest pit to town. Dump trucks and tri-axles that load there often sit at the yard between jobs, so tell us whether yours is parked at the quarry gate or at home, and who can let us in.
East toward Palmyra, the PALMYRA PLANT sand and gravel operation is 8 miles out on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and the MANCHESTER PLANT quarry lies 9.9 miles south-east. If your truck has been hauling aggregate between those sites, send photos of the body, the hoist and the frame with the cab shots, plus the VIN, and we can work out a pickup from there.
Syracusa Sand & Gravel Inc, listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration 10.3 miles south-west, rounds out the ring of pits around the village. A truck that rotates between all four does not need to come back to Macedon; give us the address where it stands today.
Macedon carriers that rarely leave New York
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 153 active carriers based in Macedon, and 146 of them run intrastate against just 7 crossing state lines. For a seller that usually means a New York registration and a truck that has stayed close to Wayne and Ontario counties, so have the registration card ready with the title.
Private fleets account for 116 of those carriers, according to the same FMCSA census, meaning businesses that haul their own goods rather than freight for hire. A contractor or farm selling a single truck out of such an operation can sell it on its own; the rest of the fleet does not have to be part of the conversation.
Fleet sizes in the FMCSA census stay modest here: the biggest operation runs 35 power units with 40 drivers, the next 34 units and 34 drivers, and the third 18 units with 10 drivers. Owners retiring two or three units from a group that size can list all of them in one message, each with its VIN and photos.
Lumber and feed
Freight, lowboys and log loads registered in Macedon
General freight is the cargo 66 Macedon carriers declare to FMCSA’s carrier census, with machinery and large objects next at 36. Box trucks, tractors and lowboy setups all fit those two lines; tell us which trailer the truck pulled, since a tractor sold with or without its trailer changes what we collect.
Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 27 carrier filings in the FMCSA census, and farm supplies on 26. Log trucks with loaders and flatbeds that carry feed or fertilizer are trucks we buy, so mention any loader, crane or body mounted on the chassis and include a photo of the plate on it.
New registrations stay small and steady: FMCSA’s census shows 4 new Macedon carriers in 2024 and 3 in 2025. Someone who started hauling recently and is closing up can still sell; the truck’s title and the carrier’s USDOT number are what we will ask to see.
Macedon trucks that work between Rochester and Lyons
Of the drivers Macedon carriers report to FMCSA’s carrier census, 328 work inside a hundred-mile radius and 97 travel past it. A truck kept on local routes is usually close to home when you decide to sell, which keeps the collection simple; tell us the street address and whether there is room for a rollback or tow truck to turn.
Across 26 carriers that report mileage, the median sits at 9,505 miles per truck a year, again from FMCSA’s census. Write the current odometer reading on your message along with the VIN, since those two numbers start every question we ask.
Rail is close by as well: the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the ROCHESTER rail yard 15.3 miles west and the LYONS yard 15.7 miles east. A tractor that shuttles freight to either yard can be collected wherever it was last dropped.
Fuel and factories
Terminals west of town and Macedon’s manufacturing jobs
Heading west out of Macedon toward Rochester, the Energy Information Administration lists ROCHESTER SOUTH at 18.4 miles and ROCHESTER NORTH a tenth of a mile farther, at 18.5. Fuel and tank trucks that load there can be sold with the tank in place; tell us its capacity and send the most recent tank test or inspection sheet if you have it.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 1,122 jobs in Macedon for 2023, and manufacturing holds 404 of them, a 36 percent share. Straight trucks and tractors that serve plants in town are a natural fit for us; a company truck needs the business owner or an officer to sign the title.
Wayne County milk routes and grain hauls near Macedon
Around Macedon the farms are dairy and row crops: Wayne County holds 863 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, corn and soybeans the top products. Grain trucks, milk haulers and feed trucks off those farms are welcome, and they can be picked up right at the barn or the bin site.
A farm truck often carries farm plates or has been registered under the farm’s name rather than a person’s. Check whose name is on the title before you contact us, and if it lists a farm partnership, have whoever is authorized for that farm ready to sign.
Canandaigua, the DMV office twelve miles from Macedon
Titles here are issued by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and its CANANDAIGUA office at 20 ONTARIO ST, CANANDAIGUA sits 12.2 miles from Macedon. If the certificate is lost, that office is the nearby place to apply for a replacement, and the department also lists the replacement process online.
Clean truck rules are on New York’s books, but enforcement is paused for both of them: the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation. Macedon owners selling a diesel truck today need only the title, registration and photos to get started.
