Sand and gravel east of the harbor
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Coram Materials Corp, a sand and gravel operation 2.7 miles east of Mount Sinai, and Roanoke Sand & Gravel Corporation 5.3 miles to the south-east. Dump trucks and tri-axles that load at pits like these are trucks we buy, and if yours is parked at a pit yard rather than at home, give us that address and the name of whoever can let us through the gate.
A truck that spends its days between a gravel face and a job site often carries a stack of scale tickets and service invoices in the cab. Gather those with the title and the registration before you call, and take photos of the body, the hoist and the chassis plate so we can match the VIN to what you describe.
Harbor tanks west toward Setauket
Port Jefferson, 4 miles west, appears on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list of ports, and the Energy Information Administration records a petroleum product terminal at East Setauket, 4.2 miles in the same direction. Tank trucks and straight trucks that load at that terminal or work the harbor front are part of what we collect, so tell us which of the two your truck served when you first get in touch.
Another Energy Information Administration listing puts the North Holtsville petroleum product terminal 9.2 miles south of town. A fuel truck parked at a yard near that terminal stays put; we arrange the pickup where it stands. Keep the tank’s inspection papers to hand when you call.
Rail sidings at Brookhaven, bulk tanks at Riverhead
South-east of Mount Sinai, the North American Rail Network (Federal Railroad Administration and Bureau of Transportation Statistics) places the Brookhaven Rail Terminal yard 9.2 miles away, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics separately lists it as a liquid bulk terminal at 9.1 miles. Tractors that shuttle tank trailers or bulk loads off that rail yard can be sold from wherever they are parked, at the terminal or at your own lot.
Out toward the East End, United Riverhead Terminal, Inc. is a liquid bulk terminal 19.8 miles east according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. For a tractor kept near Riverhead, send us the location, the odometer reading and a photo of the door sticker, and we plan the collection around the truck rather than asking you to move it.
Small fleets on the north shore
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 109 active carriers based in Mount Sinai: 36 haul general freight, 13 move machinery and large objects, 12 carry utility work and 9 handle garbage and refuse. Whichever of those your truck does, the same short list gets the sale started: title, current registration, VIN and a handful of clear photos.
Of those carriers, 104 operate intrastate and 5 interstate, and 89 are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA carrier census. A contractor or utility outfit selling a single unit from its own yard is exactly the seller we work with; tell us the company name on the title so the paperwork lines up.
Mount Sinai outfits keep only a few trucks apiece. On FMCSA’s carrier census one Mount Sinai fleet runs 8 power units with 1 driver, and two others run 5 power units each. Selling one truck out of a handful is a common call, and you can keep the rest working while we collect the one you are letting go.
How the trucks work
Short local routes and fleet age
Local carriers report 150 drivers working within 100 miles and 32 going beyond that, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and the 18 carriers reporting annual mileage show a median of 8,000 miles per truck. For a truck that works locally, we collect from a driveway, a shop lot or a contractor’s yard in Suffolk County.
FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 30 trucks from Mount Sinai carriers inspected between November 2024 and July 2026; their median model year is 2012, and 66.7 percent were ten or more model years old. A 2012 tractor and a newer one go through the same steps with us, so have the title and registration ready whatever the year on the door.
Construction, jobs and farms in Suffolk County
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 1,856 jobs located in Mount Sinai in 2023, with 165 of them, or 8.9 percent, in construction. Builders are part of the local picture too: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 48 construction establishments for Mount Sinai alongside those jobs. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from those builders can be sold from the job site or the yard, and a photo of the equipment mounted on the body helps us understand the truck.
Suffolk County had 578 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with potted flowering plants, equine operations and hogs among the leading products. A farm truck or livestock hauler parked on a county property is collected there; tell us how the gate and the ground are laid out so the pickup goes smoothly.
The questions we get asked in Mount Sinai
- Which DMV office near Mount Sinai issues a duplicate title for my rig?The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 2799 Route 112, Suite 1, in Medford is 8.1 miles from Mount Sinai and handles duplicate titles. Apply there for the replacement and let us know it is on the way, so we can line up the rest of the sale while you wait for it.
- Can you pick up a dump truck sitting at a Coram gravel pit?Coram Materials Corp sits 2.7 miles east of Mount Sinai on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from pit yards like that one. Send the pit’s address with the name of the person holding the gate key.
- Will you take a tank truck that loads at the East Setauket terminal?East Setauket’s petroleum product terminal, 4.2 miles west on the Energy Information Administration’s list, is the kind of site our tank-truck sellers work from. Send photos of the tank, the chassis and the VIN plate along with the title.
- Our north-shore business hauls its own goods; may we sell only one of our units?Mount Sinai has 89 private fleets among its 109 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and selling a single unit out of a company yard is routine for us. Bring the title showing the business name, plus an officer of the company to sign it.
