Dump bodies between the Butler Plant and Stone Goose
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Butler Plant, a crushed-stone quarry, just 3.6 miles south-west of Red Creek, and Stone Goose Aggregates another 14.7 miles west. A dump truck or tri-axle that loads at either pit is often parked at the quarry yard or at a house along the road between them, and we collect it from wherever it stands.
Further out, Palmyra Plant, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 24.9 miles south-west. If your truck has worked those aggregate faces, send photos of the body, the hoist and the cab, plus the registration, so we can see the whole unit before we talk.
Milk and hay
Feed and grain hauling around Red Creek
Around Red Creek, Wayne County holds 863 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, corn and soybeans named as the leading products. Ten of the motor carriers listed for the town in FMCSA’s carrier census report hauling grain, feed or hay, the single most common cargo line among them.
A feed truck, grain hopper or tractor used at a dairy usually sits in a barn lot or machine shed between seasons. Tell us the farm road and whether the gate is wide enough for a carrier, and have the title and any service invoices together when we arrive.
Forty-one carriers, most of them hauling their own loads
Red Creek has 41 active motor carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 32 of them run as private fleets moving their own goods rather than freight for hire. That census shows only three holding interstate authority, with the other 38 staying inside New York.
The biggest operations on that same federal list run four power units apiece, with three or four drivers each. If you are selling one truck from a fleet of two or three, the title in the business name, the registration and a letter from whoever signs for the company are what to gather first.
Lumber and heavy equipment show up here as well: FMCSA lists nine local carriers hauling logs, poles, beams or lumber, nine moving machinery or large objects, and nine on general freight. Lowboys, log trailers and the tractors that pull them are all trucks we buy.
Red Creek drivers who stay under the hundred-mile line
Drivers working inside a 100-mile radius number 58 on FMCSA’s carrier census for Red Creek, against 24 who go beyond it. FMCSA’s census also puts the median truck at 23,000 miles a year across the six carriers that report mileage.
Those figures describe trucks that come home most nights, so yours is probably in a yard or driveway in or near town. Give us the street address and the VIN, and note the odometer reading off the dash in a photo.
Tankers loading north-east of Red Creek, tractors bound for Lyons
WT Terminal Oswego, a petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list, is 18.1 miles north-east of Red Creek, and the Syracuse terminal lies 23.6 miles east. Fuel tankers and straight trucks that load at either one can be picked up at the terminal lot or back at your shop.
Rail yards on the North American Rail Network, which the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain, sit at Lyons, 18.8 miles south-west of Red Creek, and at Radisson, 20.5 miles east. A tractor that shuttles to those yards is welcome too; tell us where it is kept and what trailer goes with it.
A replacement title through the Fulton office
A missing title is replaced through the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and its nearest office to Red Creek is the Fulton office at 200 North Second St, Fulton, 16.5 miles away by the state agency’s own listing. Apply there before the sale if the original cannot be found, and keep the receipt with your registration.
If the truck is titled to a farm or a company, bring proof that you can sign for it. On emissions, the state’s Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation and its Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation both have enforcement paused, according to New York’s environmental agency.
