Roslyn sits on the North Shore of Nassau County with fuel terminals at Glenwood Landing just up the harbor road, and the trucks registered here mostly stay close to home on local runs.

Selling a truck in Roslyn? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Up the harbor

Fuel terminals two miles north of Roslyn

Two miles north of town, the Energy Information Administration lists GLENNWOOD LANDING as a petroleum product terminal, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Global Companies liquid bulk terminal at 2.1 miles in the same direction. A tank truck or fuel delivery straight truck that loads there can stay parked by the harbor while we arrange collection; send us the address and the name of whoever can let us onto the lot.

Further along the shore, at 8.3 miles north-east, Oyster Bay carries both an Energy Information Administration petroleum terminal listing and a Bureau of Transportation Statistics liquid bulk entry under the name Global. If your tanker has split its time between the Oyster Bay and Glenwood Landing racks, tell us which one it last served so we know where to look for it.

Forty-one carriers, mostly on short local routes

Roslyn is home to 41 active motor carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census; 32 keep their authority inside New York and 9 hold interstate operating status. The same FMCSA census lists 31 of those 41 as private fleets hauling their own goods, so if the title is in a business name, have someone who can sign for that business on hand.

Driver records filed with FMCSA show 105 drivers working within a 100-mile radius and 28 going further. Among the 13 Roslyn carriers that reported mileage, the median sits at 10,000 miles per truck a year, a figure from that same federal census; keep the most recent odometer reading handy for when you call.

One Roslyn operation lists 52 power units and 52 drivers in the FMCSA register, while the next two run 10 and 8. Whether you are clearing a single tractor or several units from a yard, list each VIN on one message and we will plan one visit around them.

Reefers and movers

Produce, beverages and household moves out of Roslyn

General freight is the cargo 16 local carriers declare to FMCSA, followed by fresh produce at 6 and beverages and household goods at 4 each. A reefer box truck from a produce route or a moving van with a liftgate both fit what we collect, so photograph the body, the cooling unit or the gate along with the cab.

The federal registration census shows 3 new carriers starting up in Roslyn in 2024 and another 3 in 2025. If you bought a truck to launch one of those operations and are now closing it down, the DOT number and the operating authority paperwork help us confirm who owns the vehicle.

Queens yards, eastern pit

Jamaica rail yards and a sand pit to the east

South-west of Roslyn, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places JAMAICA YARD at 10.6 miles and a second Jamaica yard at 11.2. A day cab that has shuttled freight to those yards can be collected from wherever it last dropped its trailer in Queens.

Heading east instead, Broad Hollow Estates Inc appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a sand and gravel operation 12.2 miles out. Dump trucks and roll-off haulers from pits like that are trucks we buy; tell us the body length and whether it carries a tarp system.

Replacing a lost title five miles south

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles handles title replacement, and its GARDEN CITY office at 400 OAK ST, GARDEN CITY sits 5.5 miles from Roslyn. If the title is missing, start the replacement there before we schedule the pickup, and bring the registration and your ID.

Should the truck be titled to a business, the replacement request to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles has to come from someone authorised to sign for that company. Have that person ready to sign our bill of sale as well, so the name on both documents is the same.

Jobs and farms near the North Shore

Roslyn’s workplaces held 3,218 jobs in 2023, and roughly one in twenty of them, 158 or 4.9 percent, fell under transportation and warehousing in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Many of those positions run box trucks and vans for local delivery, and a single unit from a small shop is as welcome as a fleet.

Across the county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 29 Nassau farms, with equine operations and cut flowers leading. A horse trailer tow vehicle or a flower grower’s refrigerated straight truck parked on a North Shore property can be collected right there.
