Aggregate haulers working two stone pits north of Sparkill
West Nyack Quarry, a crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 5.6 miles north of Sparkill. A tri-axle or dump truck that hauls aggregate from there is the kind of truck we collect, and it is often parked at a yard or job site rather than at the owner’s house. Give us that address when you get in touch, along with the VIN.
Farther north, Haverstraw Quarry & Mill is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration at 10.1 miles north of town, another crushed-stone site. Owners who ran stone out of Haverstraw can send photos of the body, the cab and the plate before we talk. Include one shot of the odometer and one of the VIN plate on the door jamb.
Two yards, one rail network
Yard service trucks a dozen miles north
Harmon Shops is a rail yard 11.6 miles north of Sparkill, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Service trucks and flatbeds that work around a yard like this one belong on our list. Tell us which body is fitted and whether a crane or lift is mounted.
North Croton, a second yard in that same rail network, sits 12.6 miles north per the Federal Railroad Administration and Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If your truck is kept near North Croton rather than in Sparkill, that is fine: we come to it. Have the registration and any service records together so the handover in Croton goes smoothly.
Fuel to the east and south
Tank trucks serving Westmore, the Bronx and Sprague
Westmore Fuel Co, a liquid bulk terminal 14.4 miles east, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and the Energy Information Administration records Westmore Fuels at the same distance as a petroleum product terminal. Tankers and fuel delivery trucks that load at that site are trucks we purchase. List the tank’s capacity and compartments when you write to us, and keep any tank inspection certificates with the title.
South of Sparkill, the Energy Information Administration places its Bronx petroleum product terminal 15.5 miles away, while the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows Sprague, a liquid bulk terminal, at 15.7 miles. A heating-oil truck or a tractor that pulls tank trailers between those sites can be collected wherever it is parked, at the terminal or at home in Sparkill. Send the address and say whether the truck can be reached by a tow vehicle.
A missing certificate, sorted at Larkin Plaza
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles runs its Yonkers office at 1 Larkin Plz, Yonkers, 6.7 miles from Sparkill by that agency’s listing. If the title for your truck is missing, that office is where a Sparkill owner can apply for a replacement certificate. Start the request before you contact us, and tell us it is under way.
Bring your registration and identification when you visit the Department of Motor Vehicles in Yonkers, and check whether a lender is still named on the title. A lien release from the lender, kept with the new certificate, means the sale can close once the truck is collected.
Honey and small farms
Farm trucks in a county of eighteen farms
Rockland County had 18 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and honey is the leading product it lists for them. A small farm here may still keep a stake-bed or box truck for moving hives, supplies or produce, and we buy those as readily as quarry or fuel trucks.
For a farm truck, a farm plate or registration in the owner’s name is what we ask to see, together with the title. Photos taken where the truck is kept, in a barn or beside a field, are enough for us to plan the collection.
Two Albany engine rules a Sparkill seller can set aside
Sparkill owners fall under the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation as posted by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation; the department has paused its enforcement. A Sparkill owner selling a diesel tractor or dump truck does not need to resolve anything under that rule before we collect it.
The Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation is also on the state’s books, with enforcement likewise paused according to the Department of Environmental Conservation. Photograph the emissions label on the engine so the engine family and model year Sparkill sellers report match the truck we collect.
The questions we get asked in Sparkill
- Can my stone truck be picked up at the West Nyack or Haverstraw pit?West Nyack Quarry is 5.6 miles north and Haverstraw Quarry & Mill is 10.1 miles north, on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we can collect a truck at either site or anywhere else it is parked. Tell us which gate the quarry crew uses and what hours the site is open.
- Lost the certificate for a truck garaged in Sparkill: where does a replacement come from?The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office at 1 Larkin Plz, Yonkers, is 6.7 miles away by that agency’s listing. Apply for the replacement certificate there and let us know the request is in progress.
- Do you buy fuel and tank trucks from the terminals near here?Westmore Fuel Co, 14.4 miles east, and Sprague, 15.7 miles south, are liquid bulk terminals listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and tank trucks that serve them are trucks we purchase. Send the tank’s capacity and photos of each side.
- Does ACT or HD Omnibus stand in the way of selling a Sparkill diesel?New York’s Advanced Clean Trucks and HD Omnibus regulations both have enforcement paused, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation, so there is nothing to settle under them before a sale. Send us the engine label details with your photos.
