Sixty-two operators based around the village
Of the 62 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in South Glens Falls, 46 are private fleets moving a business’s own stock and equipment. If your truck belongs to a business that runs its own deliveries, have the company’s registration and the name of whoever signs for the business ready, so the title transfer goes to the right party.
Only 9 of those 62 operate interstate, while 53 stay intrastate, according to the same FMCSA census. A truck that has spent its working life on New York roads usually has its registration, inspection stickers and service paperwork in one state, which makes the file simple to gather before we collect.
New entrants keep appearing: the FMCSA census records 5 new carriers registered here in 2025 and 4 in 2024. If you started an operation recently and are now letting a unit go, the bill of sale from when it joined your operation belongs with your photos.
Loads on board
Freight boxes, car carriers and lowboys
General freight is the most common cargo line, with 26 carriers listing it in FMCSA’s census, followed by motor vehicles at 13. Box trucks, tractors and car haulers from those operations are all trucks we buy; tell us the body type and the VIN when you first get in touch.
Eight local carriers record machinery and large objects as cargo, and six list driveaway or towaway work, per FMCSA’s census. For a lowboy tractor or a rollback that has been moving equipment around Saratoga County, photos of the deck, the winch or the fifth wheel alongside the cab give us the full picture.
Fleet sizes stay modest. FMCSA’s census shows one operation running 17 power units with 17 drivers, another with 6 units and 5 drivers, and a third with 4 units and 2 drivers. Whether you are selling one truck from a fleet of that size or your only unit, we come to the yard where it is parked.
Pits and the railhead
Hudson Falls stone, Yole gravel and Fort Edward rail
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Hudson Falls Plant 31, a crushed-stone quarry, 4.6 miles north-east, and the Hudson Valley Pit, a sand and gravel operation, 5.9 miles south-west. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run between those sites and local job sites can be collected at the pit or the contractor’s lot; give us the gate contact so the pickup is arranged with the site.
Further out, Yole Pit sits 8.9 miles north-east and Hartford Quarry 9.9 miles north-east, with the Fort Ann dimension-stone site at 15.6 miles, all on MSHA’s mine list. If your truck is parked at one of these, tell us the site name and who holds the keys there.
Rail is close by: the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Fort Edward rail yard 3.5 miles east of the village. A day cab that shuttles loads to and from the yard is something we pick up wherever it last dropped a trailer.
Plant jobs, contractors and Saratoga dairy farms
Of 1,573 jobs counted in South Glens Falls for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, 291 sit in manufacturing, an 18.5 percent slice. That LEHD tally gives trucking and warehousing 144 positions here, with builders holding 112. Straight trucks and tractors serving plants and contractors around the village are the kind we collect from shop yards and loading docks.
Thirty-two construction firms operate around the village, per the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your dump truck, flatbed or crew truck belongs to a contractor, have the registration in the business name and any service records together before we arrive.
Saratoga County had 604 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, equine and corn the top products. A farm truck, grain hauler or livestock rig parked at a barn outside the village is collected right there; tell us how the truck is reached from the road.
How far local drivers go
Drivers working within 100 miles number 253 here, against 134 who go beyond that radius, on FMCSA’s carrier census. Most local trucks therefore sleep at home each night, which usually means a known address for the pickup.
Among the 9 carriers reporting mileage in FMCSA’s census, the median is 30,812 miles per truck a year. Note the odometer reading when you photograph the dash; it is one of the first details we ask for, along with the VIN.
Paperwork at Fort Edward and state emissions rules
Just 2.3 miles from the village, the Fort Edward office of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles stands at 383 Broadway. If the title has gone missing, that office is where a replacement is requested, and having it in hand keeps the sale moving once we have agreed on the truck.
Enforcement of New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks rule and its Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus rule is marked paused by the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Neither affects whether you can sell a diesel truck to us from South Glens Falls; bring the registration and title as usual.
The questions we get asked in South Glens Falls
- I misplaced the title to my tractor; is the Fort Edward office on Broadway the place to sort that out?The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 383 Broadway in Fort Edward sits 2.3 miles from the village, and that is where to apply for a duplicate before the truck changes hands.
- My dump truck sits at the Hudson Valley Pit rather than at home; is that a problem for pickup?Sites such as the Hudson Valley Pit, 5.9 miles south-west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, are places we collect from; give us the site name and a contact who can open the gate.
- Do I need to bring the truck into the village?Trucks parked around Saratoga County’s 604 farms counted by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, or at a contractor’s yard, stay where they are; we come to the address you give us.
