Gravel at the edge of the village
Two pits and a quarry on the village’s doorstep
Poland Sand & Gravel sits 0.6 miles south-east of the village and the Poland Plant lies 0.9 miles to the north-west, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of sand and gravel operations. If your dump truck or tri-axle has been loading at either one, tell us which pit it worked from and where it is parked now, so the pickup can be planned around the site.
A little further out, Material Sand & Gravel, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 3.3 miles north-west of Poland, is another loading point for local haulers. Send photos of the body, the hoist and the cab from both sides, plus the VIN plate, and keep any service records with the title so they travel together.
Lumber, machinery and general freight on the local roster
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 43 active carriers based in Poland; 23 of them list general freight, 11 list logs, poles, beams and lumber, 11 list machinery and large objects, and 5 list grain, feed and hay. A log truck with a loader, a lowboy tractor or a flatbed that moves equipment between farms all fit what we collect, and a note on what the truck carried helps us ask the right questions.
Of those 43 carriers, 38 run intrastate only and 5 cross state lines, while 34 are private fleets moving their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. For a truck that has stayed inside New York, the state registration and the title are the two papers to find before you call.
Three of the bigger operations registered here run 15, 11 and 10 power units, with 14, 7 and 7 drivers, on FMCSA’s carrier census. Owners letting go of several units at once can send one list of VINs, and we can arrange collection of the whole group from the yard where they stand.
Drivers tied to Poland’s carriers mostly stay close: 149 work inside a hundred-mile radius and 27 go beyond it, by the count in FMCSA’s carrier census. For 15 carriers that reported annual mileage, the median comes to 10,000 miles a truck, again from FMCSA. Have the odometer reading ready alongside the VIN, as it is one of the first things we ask.
Tell us whether the truck stands at a farm, a shop or a home lot in Poland, and give us the road address along with a note on how a tow rig gets to it along a gravel lane.
Fleet age on inspection
Inspected Poland trucks and their 2017 median model year, per FMCSA
Between October 2024 and June 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 28 trucks from Poland carriers, with a median model year of 2017 and about 43 percent of them ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, list the engine, transmission and axle setup when you write to us.
New carriers keep registering here too: FMCSA shows 4 new ones in 2024 and 2 in 2025. If your operation is newer and the title is still held by a lender, say so up front, and have the lender’s name and the payoff contact ready.
Rail and fuel toward Utica
Utica’s rail yards and fuel terminals to the south-west
Utica’s rail yard lies 11.4 miles south-west of Poland, with the Utica (NYSW) yard half a mile beyond it at 11.9 miles, on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that shuttles loads to those yards is one we can collect wherever it is parked, in Utica or back home in the village.
On the same south-west bearing, the Energy Information Administration lists petroleum product terminals at Utica and Marcy, each 11.4 miles from Poland. For a fuel or tank truck that has served them, keep the tank inspection paperwork with the title.
West of the village, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Rome Research Laboratory, a military installation, 17.5 miles away. Trucks parked out that way are within reach for collection, so tell us the town and the cross street.
Milk, cattle and corn on the county’s farms
Around Poland, the 514 farms in Herkimer County counted by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lead with milk, cattle and corn sales. Milk tankers, livestock haulers and grain trucks from those farms are all ones we collect, and a farm-plated truck needs its title in the owner’s name before it changes hands.
Builders are here too: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 11 construction establishments around Poland. Contractors with a dump truck, a roll-off or a flatbed sitting idle between jobs can send photos and the VIN, and we will take it from the job site or the shop.
Poland’s nearest DMV office, 321 Main St in Utica
When a title has gone missing, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles issues the replacement; its nearest office to Poland is the Utica office at 321 Main St, Utica, 11.7 miles away.
Start that replacement early, as we need the title in hand when we collect the truck. New York’s DEC lists the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation for the state. For both, enforcement is paused at present, and Poland owners selling a diesel truck have nothing extra to file under either one.
The questions we get asked in Poland
- Can you pick up a dump truck from the Poland Plant or Poland Sand & Gravel?Poland Sand & Gravel, 0.6 miles south-east, and the Poland Plant, 0.9 miles north-west, are both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from sites like these; tell us the pit and where on it the truck is parked.
- Where does a Poland owner go in Utica for a duplicate title?The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 321 Main St, Utica, 11.7 miles from Poland, is the closest place to apply for a replacement title.
- Do you collect log trucks and lowboy tractors from Poland carriers?Eleven Poland carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber and eleven list machinery and large objects in FMCSA’s carrier census, and trucks doing that work are ones we take; send the VIN and photos to start.
- Do the ACT and HD Omnibus rules affect a Poland owner selling a diesel truck?Poland owners face no extra filing right now: the state DEC shows enforcement paused for both the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation.
