Old Bethpage’s carriers and what they haul
Twenty-eight of the 44 Old Bethpage carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census are private fleets, the kind of contractor or business that keeps trucks to carry its own loads. If your truck belongs to a contractor or a business that runs its own vehicles, have the title in the company’s name ready, along with whoever is authorised to sign for it.
General freight is the most common cargo listed, at 16 carriers in the FMCSA census, followed by garbage and refuse at 8, machinery and large objects at 7, and utility work at 5. A rolloff, a rear loader, a lowboy tractor or a bucket truck from one of those outfits is the kind of vehicle we collect around here; tell us the body type and the upfitter’s name if you know it.
Of those 44 carriers, the federal census counts 35 as intrastate only and 9 as crossing state lines. A truck that never left New York usually carries only its state registration, so send the registration card and the plate number with your first photos.
Odometers, hour meters and the 2007 median
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covered 31 trucks tied to Old Bethpage carriers between October 2024 and August 2026; the median model year was 2007, and 71 percent were ten or more model years old. Whatever year yours is, the VIN plate on the door jamb tells us the build details, so a clear photo of it saves a round of questions.
Among the 14 local carriers reporting mileage to the FMCSA census, the median works out to 13,579 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer and the engine hour meter, if the truck has one, before you contact us, and include both numbers in your message.
Drivers here mostly stay close to home: the federal carrier census shows 197 drivers working within 100 miles and 50 going farther. Expect us to meet your truck at the yard or job site where it is parked, and tell us if a gate code or a site contact is needed.
One large operator and many small ones
The three biggest fleets based in Old Bethpage run 118, 21 and 16 power units, with 95, 15 and 10 drivers, according to FMCSA’s census. If you manage one of the larger yards and are clearing several units at once, list each VIN and where it is parked so we can schedule collection truck by truck.
Old Bethpage gained 2 newly registered carriers in 2024 and 3 more in 2025, going by FMCSA’s census. A newer operator selling a single tractor or straight truck needs the same things a bigger one does: the title, a photo ID that matches the name on it, and the keys.
Gravel, fuel terminals and rail yards around town
Broad Hollow Estates Inc, a sand and gravel operation two miles east, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. Dump trucks and tri-axles that load at a pit like that can be picked up right from the site; just give us the gate address and who to call there.
To the north-west, the Energy Information Administration lists the Oyster Bay petroleum product terminal 9.3 miles out and the Glennwood Landing terminal 11.3 miles west, while the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records Global liquid bulk terminals at similar distances. Fuel tankers and fuel-delivery straight trucks that load at those racks are on our list; note the tank capacity and the compartment count when you write.
Farther out, the North American Rail Network shows Jamaica Yard 18.4 miles west, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the port at Port Jefferson 24.1 miles north-east. If your truck is parked near either one, give us that address and we will collect it where it stands.
Manufacturing, building sites and horse farms
Of 1,692 positions located in Old Bethpage during 2023, factory work filled 128, building trades 81, trucking and warehousing 58 and wholesalers 51, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks, flatbeds and stake bodies serving those employers are vehicles we take; tell us the body length and whether it has a liftgate.
Eight building contractors keep an establishment in town, per the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s dump truck, mixer or crane truck sold from one of those shops should come with its registration and any annual inspection sticker paperwork you still hold.
Horses and cut flowers head the list for the 29 Nassau County farms counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A horse hauler’s tractor or a nursery’s delivery truck from the county qualifies too; send photos of the cab, the frame and the body.
Titles and emissions rules for Nassau County sellers
A lost title from Old Bethpage is replaced by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, whose Bethpage office at 4031 Hempstead Turnpike is a 2.3-mile trip down the road. If the title is lost, apply for a duplicate there before we collect, and bring the registration and your licence.
Enforcement is on hold for two state emissions rules, Advanced Clean Trucks and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus, according to New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Neither one changes what you need to hand over for a diesel truck sold from this town: title, keys and a signed bill of sale.
The questions we get asked in Old Bethpage
- Which Hempstead Turnpike office issues a duplicate title for my Old Bethpage truck?The New York State DMV office on Hempstead Turnpike in Bethpage, 2.3 miles away, handles duplicate titles; apply there and keep the receipt to show us.
- Do you collect from the gravel pit or fuel terminals nearby?The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Broad Hollow Estates Inc’s sand and gravel site two miles east, and the Energy Information Administration puts the Oyster Bay terminal 9.3 miles north-west; we can meet a truck at either, so send the address and a site contact.
- Is an older garbage truck from Old Bethpage something you buy?Refuse haulers are the second most common cargo type among the town’s 44 FMCSA-listed carriers, and we take rear loaders, rolloffs and side loaders of any model year.
- Does the ACT or Low NOx Omnibus pause change anything for an Old Bethpage seller?New York’s DEC lists enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks and HD Omnibus regulations as paused, so the paperwork for a sale here remains the title, keys and bill of sale.
