Docks past Glenmont
Albany’s port and fuel terminals, nine miles out
Head east from Voorheesville about 7.4 miles and you reach the Albany Port District, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists as a port. A tractor that has hauled off those docks is one we collect where it is parked, whether that is a yard near the river or a driveway in the village, so give us the street address and the best gate to use.
The Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals, GLENMONT and ALBANY, nine miles east of the village, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics adds the Buckeye Partners and Global liquid bulk terminals a tenth of a mile beyond them. If your tanker or fuel truck has loaded at those racks, keep its tank test certificates and hazmat registration with the title so the history of the unit travels with it.
Freight trains nearby
Drayage cabs off the Selkirk and West Albany tracks
SELKIRK, a rail yard 8.1 miles to the south-east, and WEST ALBANY, 8.3 miles east, both appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle freight to and from those yards tend to be parked close to them, so tell us whether yours sits at a rail-side lot or back home in Voorheesville.
For a yard tractor or drayage cab, shoot the cab, the frame rails, the fifth wheel and the VIN plate in daylight, then send them with the registration so we can match the unit to its paperwork.
Aggregate and timber
The SOUTH BETHLEHEM quarry and the timber haulers
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a crushed-stone quarry at SOUTH BETHLEHEM, just under ten miles south-east of Voorheesville. Dump trucks and tri-axles that have hauled aggregate from that pit are part of what we buy; have the title, the registration and any annual inspection sticker paperwork together when you call.
Eleven local carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census list logs, poles, beams or lumber as cargo, and thirteen list machinery and large objects. If you run a log truck, a lowboy or a heavy-haul tractor out of the village, tell us the trailer it pulls and whether the trailer is part of the sale.
Small fleets that stay on New York roads
Of the 74 Voorheesville carriers active in FMCSA’s carrier census, just 3 are authorised to cross state lines and the other 71 stay intrastate. For a seller that usually means a New York title and New York registration, which keeps the transfer on one state’s forms.
Sixty-one of those carriers are private fleets that haul their own goods, according to the same federal carrier census, and 36 list general freight. A contractor or manufacturer selling a single box truck or a pair of tractors should gather the title for each unit, any lien release, and the service book if one was kept.
Fleets here run small: the biggest operator in FMCSA’s census has 10 power units and 16 drivers, the next has 7 of each. Whether you are selling one truck or the whole yard, list each VIN with its make and model year so we can work through them one at a time.
Where the payroll sits
Factory, building and freight jobs
Manufacturing makes up 28.4 percent of work located in Voorheesville in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, with construction at 8.2 percent and transportation and warehousing at 5.2 percent. Straight trucks, flatbeds and stake bodies tied to plant deliveries or job sites are welcome; say what body is on the chassis when you reach out.
Nineteen construction establishments appear for the area in County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau. If your dump, crane or utility truck belongs to one of those outfits, the name on the title has to match the person or company signing it over, so check that before we schedule anything.
Among the 11 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s census, the median was 10,000 miles a truck per year. Put the current odometer reading in your first message alongside the VIN.
Central Avenue, for a missing certificate
A missing title is handled by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, whose ALBANY office stands at 855 CENTRAL AVE, ALBANY, roughly 7.6 miles from Voorheesville. Request a replacement certificate there or through the agency’s DMV offices before we arrange collection, so the signed certificate is in hand on the day.
If a bank or finance company still holds a lien, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles will want the lien release on file too. Bring both to the Central Avenue office in one visit and the replacement title comes back clean.
Farm trucks too
Corn, sheep and maple syrup operations
Around Voorheesville and across Albany County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 349 farms, with corn, sheep and maple syrup the leading products. A corn hauler, a sheep trailer rig or a sap-tank truck from one of those farms is welcome here too.
A farm truck often carries farm plates rather than commercial registration, so tell us which plate is on it and whether the title is in the farm’s name or yours. That detail decides who signs at pickup.
