Fuel terminals three and a half miles from the Point
Glenwood Landing, a petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list, lies 3.4 miles south-east of Sands Point, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the Global Companies liquid bulk terminal the same 3.4 miles off, to the east. If a tank truck or fuel tractor of yours loads at either one, give us the street address and say whether it sits on a driveway or inside a fenced yard.
Farther out, a second pair of entries sits 9.2 miles south-west: The Energy Conservation Group appears as a liquid bulk terminal with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and as a petroleum product terminal with the Energy Information Administration. If your rig has shuttled between these sites, mention which ones it served and send photos of the tank, the cab and the plate so the description and the pictures line up.
Bronx rail and Brooklyn boxes
Oak Point yard and the Red Hook ramp to the west
Two Oak Point rail yard entries, 10.7 and 11.2 miles west, appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that has pulled cars or trailers out of that yard can stay wherever it is garaged now; tell us the location and who holds the keys.
Red Hook Container Terminal, a rail intermodal ramp about 19.7 miles south-west according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is the nearest box ramp on the list. For a tractor that has worked container moves there, have the VIN, the registration and any service records together before you call, since those three answer most of the questions we ask first.
East of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration registers Broad Hollow Estates Inc, a sand and gravel operation, 16 miles away. A dump truck or tri-axle that has hauled aggregate from that pit fits what we collect; photos of the body and the frame alongside the cab help us see the whole rig.
Box trucks, packers and bucket rigs based at the Point
Just under half the town’s carriers, 32 of 65 active ones in FMCSA’s carrier census, haul general freight. In that same FMCSA census, refuse and trash hauling accounts for 8, utility work for 7, and machinery or large objects for 4. Whether yours is a box truck, a roll-off or a bucket truck, tell us which of those jobs it did and we will know what equipment to expect on it.
Of those 65 carriers, the same federal census records 62 operating intrastate only and just 3 crossing state lines, while 58 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck kept for a single business usually sits at that business, so the collection address is often a shop or yard rather than a home.
None of the outfits here is big: the three largest fleets in the FMCSA census run 4, 4 and 3 power units. If you are retiring one truck from a small operation, that is the kind of sale this town produces, and the title in your own or the company’s name is what we need to see.
Short local routes
Driving close to home from Sands Point
Drivers for Sands Point carriers stay near base: per the FMCSA census, 89 percent work inside a hundred-mile radius and 11 percent go farther. Among the 10 carriers that reported annual mileage to that census, the median truck covered 8,000 miles a year. Have the current odometer figure ready, since it is one of the first details we record.
Across 151 Sands Point-based trucks stopped for checks from September 2024 to August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2018, with 37.09 percent at ten years or older. Whatever year yours is, send the model year and the VIN together so the paperwork matches the truck.
Bronx License Center
A missing title and the Commerce Avenue license center
A missing certificate of title is replaced through the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles it at its DMV offices. The nearest one listed is the Bronx License Center at 1350 Commerce Ave, Bronx, about 7.3 miles from Sands Point according to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.
Start that replacement before you schedule a collection if the title cannot be found, and keep the current registration with it. If the truck is titled to a company rather than to you, bring proof that you can sign for that company.
Contractors and stables
Builders, warehouses and horse farms nearby
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 90 construction establishments and 6 warehousing establishments for the area, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 597 jobs in Sands Point in 2023. Flatbeds, dump bodies and straight trucks that served those contractors are trucks we buy; tell us what body is fitted and whether any equipment stays with it.
Out across Nassau County, horses and cut flowers lead among 29 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A horse hauler or a stake-bed used for nursery stock still needs its title and registration in order, and photos of the body show us how it was set up.
Two New York truck emission rules with enforcement paused
New York’s own posted rules list enforcement of the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation as paused. The state likewise shows the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation with enforcement paused as well.
Neither rule changes what you hand over for a sale here: the title, the registration and the keys. If you have an emissions label or engine paperwork, include a photo of it with the rest.

- I run one garbage truck for my own business. Would you take a lone refuse truck from Sands Point?Refuse and trash hauling is listed by 8 of the 65 active Sands Point carriers in FMCSA’s census, and 58 of those carriers are private fleets.
