Route 82 Sand & Gravel sits 3.4 miles west of Millbrook on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of operations. A dump truck or tri-axle that loads there can usually be collected right where it parks between jobs, so tell us the yard address and whether a loaded trailer is still hitched.
Further out along the same direction, the Peckham Materials Pleasant Valley Quarry is a crushed-stone pit 6.3 miles from the village, as the Mine Safety and Health Administration records it. If your truck hauls stone from Pleasant Valley, send photos of the body, the hoist and the frame along with the cab, plus the VIN off the door jamb.
Owners who split their hauling between the two pits can tell us both sites up front; we arrange the pickup around whichever yard the truck is sitting in that week.
Eight miles south of Millbrook, RW-Billings is a sand and gravel operation in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records, and the Wingdale Mine, a crushed-stone quarry, lies 10.8 miles to the south-east. Trucks working those two sites often end the day in Dutchess County lots well away from the village center.
When you contact us about a truck that runs the Wingdale or Billings loads, give us the registration, the title and any service records you keep in the cab. Those three papers answer most of what we ask before we schedule the collection.
Terminals toward the Hudson
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Poughkeepsie, 14.3 miles west, and a second one, Koscoheritagenergy, 17.2 miles north-west of Millbrook. A tank truck or fuel delivery straight truck based near those terminals can be picked up from its depot; let us know the tank’s capacity and the compartment count when you write.
Toward the river, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists New Hamburg as a liquid bulk terminal 19.1 miles south-west. Kingston’s rail yard, on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is the same 19.1 miles out but north-west across the Hudson. If your tractor has shuttled between Kingston’s yard and the New Hamburg docks, the VIN and a clear photo of the fifth wheel are the first two things to send.
Sixty-seven Millbrook carriers, most staying in state
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 67 active motor carriers based in Millbrook; 60 of them run intrastate only and 7 cross state lines, while 47 are private fleets moving their own goods. For most local owners that means a truck registered in New York and kept on a farm, a job site or a shop lot in the village.
General freight is the most common cargo among those carriers, at 24, with machinery and large objects listed by 19, according to the same FMCSA census. Lowboys, rollbacks and flatbeds that move equipment belong on that list, and we take them with or without the trailer.
Of the drivers those carriers report to FMCSA, 103 work within a hundred-mile radius of home and 30 go further. In FMCSA’s carrier census, the thirteen carriers that report mileage put their median at 5,000 miles per truck a year, so expect us to ask where the truck spends the season rather than what route it runs.
Dairy, horses, deer
Hay and feed trucks on Millbrook’s farms
Around Millbrook, the Dutchess County farm count stands at 620 in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, horses and deer leading its sales. FMCSA’s carrier census lists 13 Millbrook carriers hauling farm supplies and 11 hauling grain, feed or hay.
A grain truck, a livestock hauler or a flatbed that carries hay bales usually sits at the barn when it is not working. Tell us the farm road and whether a pickup truck with a trailer can reach it, and keep the title and registration together in the farmhouse so they are ready on collection day.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 734 jobs in Millbrook in 2023, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 20 construction establishments in the area. Dump trucks, utility bodies and box trucks owned by those builders tend to park at the shop or on the client’s site.
The largest Millbrook fleet on FMCSA’s carrier census runs 13 power units with 5 drivers; the next two run 5 and 3. Whether you have one truck or several, list each VIN and its body type, and we look at each unit on its own.
A DMV office one block from the center
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles lists its Millbrook office at 15 Merritt Ave, 0.1 miles from the village center. If the title to your truck is lost, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles replaces title certificates, and its DMV offices handle the request in person.
Bring the registration and your photo ID to Merritt Avenue when you apply. Once the replacement title is in hand, send us a photo of its front so the name on it matches the seller we collect from.
New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation and its Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus regulation are both on the state’s books, and for each one enforcement is paused. A Millbrook owner selling a diesel truck has nothing to file under either rule before we pick it up.
The questions we get asked in Millbrook
- Do I need to do anything under New York’s clean truck rules before selling?Millbrook sellers face New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks and Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus regulations with enforcement paused on both, so there is nothing to file under them before a pickup.
