Tank and yard work a mile and a half below the village
Going by the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Bevier Street rail yard lies 1.5 miles south of Port Dickinson and the Binghamton yard 2.2 miles south. A day cab or yard tractor that shuttles between those sidings is often parked within sight of the tracks, so give us the street or gate it sits behind and we will route the pickup there.
Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal that the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 1.5 miles south of the village, handles product that leaves by tanker. If your tractor has pulled tank trailers from that terminal, tell us whether the trailer goes with it or stays, and send a photo of the plate and the VIN on the door jamb.
Port Dickinson owners whose trucks split time between the two yards and the terminal can list every stop in one message. Name the truck’s home base south of the village, and we will confirm the collection address with you by phone.
Fuel hauls from the Vestal petroleum terminals
Two petroleum product terminals listed under the Vestal name by the Energy Information Administration sit 5.7 and 6.2 miles west of Port Dickinson. Tankers and straight trucks that load fuel there and deliver around Broome County are the kind of equipment we purchase from owners in this corner of the Southern Tier.
For a fuel tanker, gather the registration, any tank inspection certificates and the service log before you contact us. Photos of the tank, the cab interior and the odometer let us match the truck to its paperwork without a second round of questions.
If the truck is parked at a Vestal yard rather than at your home in Port Dickinson, that is fine; give us the yard address and a contact who can open the gate on collection day.
Aggregate and cut block haulers out of three Southern Tier quarries
Trim Street Quarry, a crushed-stone operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 8 miles east of Port Dickinson, and the Conklin crushed-stone quarry 10.6 miles south-east both send aggregate out by dump truck. Owners of tri-axles and tandem dumps that run those pits can sell the truck straight from the quarry lot if that is where it stays.
Roberts’ Stone LLC, a dimension-stone quarry 9.4 miles south of the village on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, moves cut blocks on flatbeds and stake trucks rather than dump bodies. For a flatbed, note the deck length and any tie-down gear that comes with it.
Across all three quarries, a truck’s body type, axle count and the name on the title are the first details we ask for. Have the title in hand, or know which office will replace it, before the pickup is booked.
Port Dickinson sellers missing a certificate of title
A seller in Port Dickinson who cannot find the title deals with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and its Binghamton office at 81 Chenango St, Binghamton, is 2.5 miles from the village. The state agency handles replacement title certificates through its DMV offices, so that counter is the nearest place to start.
Bring your registration and photo ID to the Binghamton DMV office when you apply. If the truck is still financed, the lien holder’s release has to accompany the title before ownership can pass to us.
Once the replacement title arrives, send us a photo of the front and back so we can check the name and VIN against the truck before collection.
Port Dickinson workplaces
Factory and wholesale work around the village
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) recorded 2,652 jobs for Port Dickinson, with manufacturing at 109 of them, a 4.1 percent share. Box trucks and straight trucks that carry parts and finished goods for local plants are part of what we take on from owners here.
Wholesale trade accounted for 66 jobs, 2.5 percent of the 2023 total, according to the same LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau. Delivery trucks with lift gates or refrigerated bodies that serve distributors are welcome; tell us the body type and send a photo of the cargo area.
Whether your truck works a factory dock or a distributor’s route, a VIN, a few photos and the address where it sits are enough for us to begin.
Milk route equipment
Milk, corn and cattle hauling north of Binghamton
Around Port Dickinson, milk tops the farm list for Broome County, followed by corn and cattle, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 440 farms across the county. Milk tankers, grain trucks and livestock haulers that serve those farms are equipment we buy from growers and haulers alike.
Farm trucks are often parked in a barn or a field rather than a paved yard. Tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck and whether there is a gate or lane to reach it, and include a photo of the approach.
The questions we get asked in Port Dickinson

- Which DMV counter serves a Port Dickinson owner who has misplaced a truck title?Port Dickinson owners use the Binghamton office of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles at 81 Chenango St, a 2.5-mile drive, to apply for a replacement title certificate.
- Will you take a tri-axle that runs stone from Trim Street or Conklin?Trim Street Quarry, Roberts’ Stone LLC and the Conklin quarry lie between 8 and 10.6 miles from Port Dickinson on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and dump trucks and flatbeds from all three are trucks we purchase.
- Does New York’s clean truck rule stop me selling my diesel truck?Enforcement of New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation is paused, as is the HD Omnibus rule, so a Port Dickinson owner can sell a diesel truck to us with the usual title and registration.
