Aggregate hauling on both banks of the Hudson
Only 2.3 miles south-west of the village, the Mt Marion Pit and Mill is registered with the Mine Safety and Health Administration as an industrial-mineral mine. A dump truck or tractor that runs between that pit and local job sites is likely parked close by, so tell us whether it sits at the pit, in a yard or at your home and we will collect it there.
Further out, the Catskill Quarry (ICC) is 8.1 miles north and the East Kingston crushed-stone quarry 8.4 miles south, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your truck hauled aggregate from either, have the title, the registration and any service records together before you call, and send photos of the body, the frame and the cab.
Sand and gravel come from two more operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list: RW-Roe-Jan, 7.6 miles east across the river, and the Kearney Pit, 11.5 miles north-east. A truck that worked on that side of the Hudson can stay where it is; give us the address and the name of whoever can let us onto the site.
Lumber, refuse and machinery loads out of Saugerties
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 339 active carriers in the Saugerties area. In that census, 114 list general freight, 78 list machinery and large objects, 60 haul logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 44 carry garbage and refuse, so a flatbed, a log truck, a lowboy tractor or a roll-off is as likely to come to us from here as a van tractor.
Most of this work stays inside New York: the same federal census records 314 intrastate carriers against 24 interstate ones, and 257 of the total run private fleets hauling their own goods. If your truck carried your own company’s materials, have the registration in the business’s name ready alongside the title.
Drivers mostly stay close to home as well. FMCSA’s carrier census places 544 drivers working within 100 miles and 179 working beyond that radius, and among the 46 carriers reporting mileage the median comes to 7,017 miles a truck per year. Tell us which kind of route your truck covered and we will know what to ask.
Fifty-four units at the top, eight new authorities in 2025
The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s register for the area run 54, 24 and 17 power units, with 62, 24 and 8 drivers respectively. Selling several trucks at once from a fleet that size works the same way as selling one: send us a list of VINs, where each unit is parked and who holds each title.
New authorities keep appearing, too. The carrier census shows 16 new carriers registered here in 2024 and 8 in 2025. An owner-operator who started recently and now wants to sell should have the title in hand, or the lender’s payoff details if a loan is still open, before we arrange collection.
A median of 2018 at the roadside, and what to send
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 128 trucks from carriers in this area, with a median model year of 2018. Just over 38 percent of those inspected trucks were ten or more years old, according to the same inspection records.
Whatever the model year of your truck, the things that help most are the same: the VIN, the odometer reading, photos of all four sides and the cab, and the inspection reports you kept. Owners who pass those along at the start get a shorter list of questions.
Kingston yard and the fuel terminals
The North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Kingston rail yard 9.4 miles south of Saugerties. A tractor that shuttled loads to and from that yard can be collected wherever it is kept between runs.
Two petroleum product terminals appear on the Energy Information Administration’s list nearby: Koscoheritagenergy, 10.1 miles south, and the Peckham Industries terminal, 15.2 miles north-east. For a tanker or fuel truck that served either, tell us what the tank carried last and send photos of the tank, the valves and the plates along with the cab.
Titles, job counts and local work
Saugerties owners who have mislaid a title go to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, whose nearest office sits 10.5 miles south at 244 Fair St in Kingston. Start the duplicate before you contact us, and tell us it is on the way so the paperwork and the collection line up.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 81 construction establishments here, and its LEHD job counts put local employment at 1,313 jobs in 2023, 50 of them in manufacturing. Contractors who own a dump truck or a crane truck for their own jobs can sell it the same way a carrier does, with the title and the registration ready.
Across Ulster County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 486 farms, with equine, corn and cattle at the top. A farm truck or livestock hauler registered to one of those operations is welcome too; send the title and a few photos to get started.
The questions we get asked in Saugerties
- Can my dump truck stay at the Mt Marion pit until you collect it?The Mt Marion Pit and Mill is 2.3 miles south-west of Saugerties on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, and we collect from sites like it. Let us know which part of the pit yard it is in and who holds the key to the gate there.
- Would you take a log truck based in Saugerties off my hands?Sixty carriers in the area haul logs, poles, beams and lumber on FMCSA’s carrier census, and their trucks are among those we purchase. Photos of the bunks and stakes, the VIN plate and the front page of the title are what we need first.
- Can you collect a truck that sits across the river near RW-Roe-Jan?RW-Roe-Jan, a sand and gravel operation, lies 7.6 miles east of Saugerties according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and a truck parked there is collected where it stands. Share the pit’s road address and the phone number of whoever runs the scale house.
