Orchard crates
Fresh produce on the Sodus carrier list
Of the 99 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Sodus, 44 list fresh produce as cargo, and 32 list farm supplies. If your truck has spent its seasons moving crates or bins from orchards and packing sheds, tell us the body type, whether it is a reefer box, a flatbed or a straight truck, and send a photo of the body along with the cab.
General freight shows up on 36 Sodus carrier filings and machinery or large objects on 21, according to the same federal census. A tractor that has pulled a lowboy for equipment moves reads differently from one that pulled a dry van, so say which trailer it has worked with and we will ask questions that fit that work.
In-state haulers of Sodus
Sodus carriers that rarely cross the state line
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 89 Sodus carriers running intrastate and just 10 running interstate, with 75 operating as private fleets that haul their own goods. That usually means the truck is parked at a farm, a shop yard or a home driveway in town, so give us the street address and the name of whoever can let our driver in.
Driver radius filings in the federal census count 127 drivers working within a hundred-mile circle of Sodus and 60 going farther. For the 18 local carriers that reported mileage, the median truck covered 6,715 miles a year, again per FMCSA. Have the odometer reading and the VIN on hand when you contact us; both answer most of our first questions at once.
Quarry trucks east and west of the village
Stone Goose Aggregates, a crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies about 2.7 miles east of Sodus. A dump truck or tri-axle that has hauled from a pit that close can be collected right where it sits, so tell us whether it is at the quarry gate or back at your own yard.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records the Walworth Plant crushed-stone quarry 14 miles west and the Palmyra Plant sand and gravel operation 13 miles south-west. If your truck worked between those sites, list the body length and axle setup and include photos of the bed and the hoist.
Lyons
Rail yard and DMV office down in Lyons
Thirteen miles south of Sodus, the Lyons rail yard appears in the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Owners who have hauled to and from that yard can leave the truck parked in Lyons or in Sodus; we come to whichever spot is easier to reach.
If the title has gone missing, The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles runs its LYONS office at 9 Pearl St, Lyons, about 12.6 miles from Sodus, and the agency’s title replacement process is handled through its DMV offices. Start that request before you sell, and keep the registration and any service records together so the paperwork is ready when we arrive.
Sodus factory routes
Factory jobs and building crews in Sodus
Manufacturing accounts for 122 of the 583 jobs counted in Sodus for 2023, a 20.9 percent share, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and straight trucks that have served plant deliveries are on the list of what we buy; tell us the box length and whether it has a liftgate.
Sodus-area contractors number 15 and warehousing firms 4 in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s dump truck, flatbed or service body truck parked at a job site can be picked up there, as long as someone can tell us where on the site it stands.
Dairy barns
Tankers and grain trucks on the farms near the lake
Around Sodus, Wayne County holds 863 farms, and milk, corn and soybeans lead its farm sales in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A milk tanker, a grain truck or a farm tractor-trailer can stay on the farm until collection, so describe the lane in and whether a larger truck can turn around there.
The FMCSA carrier census shows Sodus’s three biggest fleets at 14, 9 and 6 power units, and it records 5 new local carriers in 2024 and 2 in 2025. Whether you run one truck or a dozen, send the VINs as a list and we will work through each one.
Two emissions rules on hold for Sodus owners
New York has adopted the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation, and the state Department of Environmental Conservation reports that enforcement is on hold for now. Sellers in Sodus do not need to sort out anything under that rule before contacting us.
The Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation is also part of New York’s rulebook, with enforcement likewise paused according to the same state agency. Send us the engine model year from the door sticker so we know which standards the truck was built to.
