Ninety-one carriers, mostly local
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 91 active carriers with an address in Massapequa Park, and 84 of them are registered for intrastate work only, against 7 cleared to cross state lines. If your truck has spent its life on New York roads, its New York registration is the document we will ask for first, so find the current card before you call.
Of those 91, the federal census counts 66 as private fleets, meaning companies hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. A truck like that is often titled to the business, not to a person, so check whose name sits on the title and have whoever signs for the company available on the day of collection.
Seven new carriers registered from this village in 2025 and five in 2024, according to FMCSA’s records. If yours is one of those young operations and the truck is financed, tell us the lender at the start; the lien release is part of the title paperwork we need in hand.
Refuse, beverages, utility and general freight
General freight is the cargo 43 local carriers declare on FMCSA’s carrier census, with garbage, refuse and trash listed by 10, beverages by 8 and utility work by another 8. Box trucks, straight trucks and day cabs are what that mix tends to put on village streets, and each of them is a truck we buy.
For a roll-off or packer from one of the refuse outfits on that FMCSA list, send photos of the body and the hoist or packer mechanism along with the cab. A beverage truck should come with pictures of the side bays, and a utility rig with its boom or bucket stowed, so the photos match what we see at pickup.
One or two trucks per owner, local miles
The three biggest fleets here register 10, 8 and 5 power units with FMCSA, so most sellers in Massapequa Park are moving one or two trucks, not a yard full. Selling a single tractor or straight truck is a normal conversation for us; we do not need a fleet to make the trip.
Federal carrier filings with FMCSA show 122 drivers working within 100 miles of their base and 24 going beyond that radius. Among the 18 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 19,000 miles per truck a year, so have the current odometer reading and the VIN ready when you reach out.
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA cover 28 trucks from this village checked between September 2024 and August 2026; their median model year is 2015, and 53.6 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the year on yours, the model year and engine make are two lines we fill in early.
A lost title and the Carmans Plaza DMV
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles runs its Massapequa office at 927 Carmans Road in the Carmans Plaza shopping center, about 1.7 miles from the village. If the title has gone missing, that is where a duplicate is requested, and the trip is short enough to sort out before the truck changes hands.
Bring the registration and some proof of identity to that office, plus the company paperwork if a business owns the vehicle. Once the replacement title arrives, send us a photo of the front and back so we can confirm the names and VIN line up.
Broad Hollow sand, Oyster Bay fuel, Jamaica rail
A sand and gravel operation registered as Broad Hollow Estates Inc lies 5.8 miles north of the village on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s roster. Dump trucks and construction tractors that haul from a pit like that can be collected wherever they are parked, on the site or back at your yard; just tell us who can open the gate.
About 14 miles north, the Energy Information Administration lists the Oyster Bay petroleum product terminal, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records a Global liquid bulk terminal at the same distance; the Glennwood Landing terminal sits 14.6 miles to the north-west on the same agency’s list. A fuel tanker that loads at those terminals should come with its tank inspection papers and the photos of its valves and hose reels.
West of the village, the North American Rail Network places Jamaica Yard 18.6 miles out and the Jamaica rail yard at 19.3 miles. A drayage tractor parked out by Jamaica rather than at home does not need to be driven back first; give us the street address and we arrange the pickup there.
Builders in the village, horses and flowers in the county
Of the 3,243 jobs located in this village in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 127 in construction, which works out to 3.9 percent. County Business Patterns lists 46 construction establishments here, so a dump body, flatbed or stake truck tied to building work is a familiar sell; have the body make and dimensions written down.
Nassau County had 29 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with equine operations and cut flowers among the leading types. A horse trailer tractor or a refrigerated straight truck from that work is one we would look at too, with photos of the reefer unit or the hitch included.
The questions we get asked in Massapequa Park
- My truck’s New York title is lost somewhere in the house. Is the Carmans Road motor vehicles office the place to replace it?The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 927 Carmans Road in Massapequa sits 1.7 miles from the village and handles duplicate title requests. Start that application before collection and send us a photo of the new title when it comes.
- I only have one refuse truck to sell. Is that enough?Ten Massapequa Park carriers list garbage and refuse hauling on FMCSA’s carrier census, and the biggest fleet in the village registers 10 power units, so single-truck sales are ordinary here. Send the VIN, odometer reading and photos of the body and cab to start.
- My tanker sits by the Oyster Bay terminal rather than in my Massapequa Park driveway. Is pickup possible right there by the terminal?Oyster Bay’s petroleum product terminal sits about 14 miles north of Massapequa Park on the Energy Information Administration’s list, and we collect from where the truck is. Send the terminal-side street address plus the person who holds the gate key there.
- Does New York’s clean-truck rulemaking block a Massapequa Park owner from selling a 2015 diesel tractor?Enforcement is shown as paused on the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s site for two rules: Advanced Clean Trucks and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus. If your truck is a diesel from before those rules, send us the model year and engine details and we will look at it on those facts.
