FMCSA’s carrier census counts 183 active motor carriers based in Malone, and 168 of them are registered as intrastate operators against 15 that cross state lines. If your truck has stayed on New York roads, its New York registration and title are the two papers we will ask to see first, so pull them out of the cab before you call.
Of those 183 carriers, 138 are listed in FMCSA’s carrier census as private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. A contractor, a sawmill or a farm that owns one tractor or dump truck sells it to us the same way a trucking firm does: the owner named on the title signs, and we arrange collection from the yard where it sits.
If you started a small operation in one of those years and are now letting a truck go, have the USDOT number and the purchase paperwork handy so the title history lines up with what you tell us.
General freight leads the cargo declarations in FMCSA’s carrier census at 76 Malone carriers, followed by machinery and large objects at 39 and logs, poles, beams and lumber at 38. Log trucks with loaders, lowboys and their tractors, and flatbeds all fit what we collect; send photos of the bunks, the deck or the gooseneck along with the cab.
Twenty-four Malone carriers declare garbage, refuse and trash work, according to the same federal carrier census. Roll-off and rear-load trucks usually sit at a hauler’s lot or transfer yard, so tell us the address, who holds the gate key and whether the body or the hoist is staying with the chassis.
Dump trucks, tri-axles and equipment trailers from that trade belong in a single message to us; list the body type and the axle setup, and photograph the plate on the door jamb that shows the VIN.
Drivers working out of Malone are mostly local: the federal carrier census shows 425 driving within 100 miles of base and 102 going farther. A truck on a short daily radius is usually parked back at its home yard at night, which is where we would pick it up.
Read the odometer and the engine hours off the dash and include both when you first write, together with the VIN.
The biggest fleet in town runs 21 power units and 31 drivers under FMCSA’s carrier census, and the next two run 14 and 13 trucks. If you are clearing out several units at once, send a list with each VIN, the body type and where each one is parked, and we will plan collection unit by unit.
Older and newer trucks alike are what we buy; give us the model year with the make and model so we know exactly which truck we are talking about.
Whatever the year on yours, the steps are the same: title in the seller’s name, the registration, and any annual inspection or service records you have kept.
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office for Malone is at 355 West Main Street, Room 107, about 0.3 miles from the centre of town. If the title is lost or still shows a lienholder, that is the counter where a replacement or a lien release gets recorded, so sort it out there before collection day.
Should the truck be titled to a farm or a business, bring proof that you can sign for it, such as the company paperwork or a letter from the other owner. The Malone DMV handles the title side; once the title is in order, we handle the truck.
Dairy country and a small freight workforce
Milk tankers, livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm-plated straight trucks are all welcome; a farm truck usually waits in a barn or field lane, so tell us whether a tractor-trailer can reach it in mud season.
LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 4,134 jobs in Malone in 2023, with 83 in transportation and warehousing and 66 in manufacturing. If your truck served one of those employers and is parked on their property, give us a contact there who can let us in.
Among Malone’s bridges, the National Bridge Inventory lists 5, one of them load-posted and none with clearance under 14 feet. When you describe where the truck is parked, mention any posted bridge on the route in, so the carrier we send can plan around it.
