East on the stone road
Two gravel faces, one east and one south-west of the corners
Head 3.7 miles east of Munsons Corners and you reach Polkville Crushed Stone, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a sand and gravel operation. Dump trucks and tri-axles that cycle between that face and job sites around Cortland are exactly what we collect. Tell us whether yours sits at the quarry or at home, and send a photo of the body and the hoist along with the cab.
Dryden Pit, another sand and gravel site the Mine Safety and Health Administration records, is 7.5 miles to the south-west. A truck that splits its days between the two pits may be left at either one. Give us the exact gate, the name of whoever holds the key, and the VIN, and we arrange the pickup there instead of asking you to move it.
Propane out of Harford Mills
Ten and a half miles south of town, the Energy Information Administration lists the Harford Mills LPG Terminal as a petroleum product terminal. Bobtails and propane delivery trucks loaded there serve homes and farms across this part of the county, and we buy those straight from the owner.
If your tank truck carries inspection certificates or a hazmat registration, keep the most recent copies with the title. Photograph the tank plate and the cab, note which yard the truck sleeps in, and we will plan around the terminal’s hours rather than yours.
Westward haul
Toward the lake: the Cayuga Mine run
Out toward the lake, the Cayuga Mine appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as an industrial-mineral mine 17 miles west of Munsons Corners. Tractors and end-dumps assigned to that run often park nearer the mine than near Cortland.
Wherever the truck is, a street address or a pin dropped on a map is enough for us to find it. Add the registration and any service binder you kept, and the sale can be handled while the truck stays put.
Plants and shifts
Factory freight around Cortland
Manufacturing holds 570 of the 2,012 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts locate in Munsons Corners for 2023, or 28.3 percent of the total. Box trucks, straight trucks and day cabs that shuttle parts and finished goods for those plants are part of what we purchase.
Sellers here are often owner-operators contracted to a single plant. If the truck carries a lease decal or a shipper’s placard, mention it up front, along with whether the lease is finished, so the paperwork matches the truck we see in your photos.
Bulk milk and livestock on the hill farms
Around Munsons Corners, the 397 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts in Cortland County list milk, cattle and corn as their leading products. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and grain trucks that work those barns are welcome here.
A farm truck is frequently registered to the farm rather than to a person. Check which name is printed on the title before you contact us, and if it lists a partnership or an estate, tell us who signs for it.
River Street
A missing certificate, and the Cortland DMV counter
For a Munsons Corners seller, the nearest New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office is the Cortland one at 112 River St, Cortland, roughly 2.7 miles away. If the title is missing, that is where a replacement is requested, and the DMV posts the replacement form on its titles page.
Start that request before you call us if you can. If a duplicate is already on order, mention it and send the receipt with your photos; the rest can be arranged while the new certificate is mailed.
ACT and the Omnibus, both on hold in Albany
Enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation is marked paused on the Department of Environmental Conservation’s heavy-duty vehicle rules, a status that leaves Munsons Corners tractors where they were.
Neither rule changes what you need for a sale from Munsons Corners: the title, the registration, the VIN and a clear set of photos.

- Do you take farm trucks registered to a dairy?Cortland County’s 397 farms, per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, lead with milk and cattle, and their tankers and stock trucks are ones we buy. If the dairy itself holds the title, a partner or officer of the farm signs it over.
