New York runs its trucks inside the city more than out of it. 1,618 active carriers with at least one truck give New York as their city in FMCSA's November 2026 census, and seven in ten of them are private fleets hauling their own goods. Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island and the Queens neighborhoods are counted under their own names. The truck here is a tool of the business it belongs to, and it rarely leaves the boroughs.
That is why the New York truck is more often a day cab than a sleeper. It is the produce reefer on a route, the garbage truck, the box truck making deliveries and the bus. In Brooklyn it is the tractor draying boxes off the Red Hook terminal. A semi truck that leaves the city for the long lanes is the exception, and we buy that one too.
Lost title in New York
The DMV offices in the city are at 625 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, 11 Greenwich Street and 366 West 31st Street in Manhattan. Two more are at 145 West 30th Street at License Express and 5 West 125th Street in Harlem. Each of them replaces a lost title and records the transfer for a truck titled in the city.
A city truck shows its life in different places from a highway truck. Look at the body, the liftgate, the bumpers and the steps before the odometer, photograph them along with the cab and the engine, and tell us the route it worked.
Weight limits in New York
The city's own fact is the bridge list: 247 bridges inside the five boroughs have less than fourteen feet of clearance. That is why the New York truck is built low and short before it is built heavy. The weight law a New York truck works under is New York's, with the federal table beside it, and the New York page carries both.
Tell us which borough the truck is in, and send photos and the title. Selling a truck in New York is that short.
