Of the 943 Schenectady carriers active in FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is the cargo for 501. A box truck or tractor from that group may be parked behind a shop or at the owner’s house; give us the street address and we will arrange collection there.

Machinery and large objects appear on 117 Schenectady carrier registrations in the FMCSA census, with motor vehicles on 88 and household goods on 87. Lowboys, car haulers and moving vans from those operations are all trucks we buy, so send a photo of the body or trailer alongside the cab and tell us what it carried.

Newer operators keep arriving: the federal carrier census records 70 Schenectady carriers first registered in 2025 and 52 in 2024. If you started an authority recently and are now closing it, have the title in the business name ready, along with the USDOT number the truck ran under.

According to FMCSA, 750 Schenectady carriers operate intrastate only, while 191 cross state lines. A truck that stayed inside New York usually still carries its state registration and inspection sticker, so photograph both before you contact us.

Those FMCSA roadside inspection records put 31.7 percent of the Schenectady units at a model year ten or more years back. We buy across that whole span, from current-year tractors to older straight trucks, and the paperwork we ask for is the same either way.

The North American Rail Network places the Mohawk rail yard 3.1 miles north of Schenectady and West Albany 11.5 miles to the south-east. Day cabs that shuttle between those yards and local warehouses can be collected from wherever they are parked, including a terminal lot, if someone there will let us in.

To the south-east, the Albany Port District sits 11.9 miles from the city on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. If your tractor has been dropping chassis at the port, tell us whether it is kept there or back in Schenectady so we plan the pickup at the right address.

Mine Safety and Health Administration records put Pattersonville Plant #61 12 miles north-west and the Cushing Stone Company quarry 13.4 miles north-west, with the Cohoes Mine and Mill 12 miles east.

Out in the county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 144 farms, with milk, cattle and propagative material among the top products. A milk tanker or livestock hauler parked on a farm can stay there; send directions to the barn and the name of whoever will be home.

Of the 15 Schenectady bridges in the National Bridge Inventory, a single one carries a load posting, and no crossing in the city falls below 14 feet of clearance. Tell us if the truck sits behind a weight-limited crossing so we send equipment that can reach it.
