Slate Hill gravel and the Goshen and Chester stone
Slate Hill Sand & Gravel lies 5.4 miles south-west of Washington Heights, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and Goshen Quarry sits 8.5 miles to the south-east. A tri-axle or tandem dump truck that has hauled aggregate out of either one can stay parked at the pit or at your yard; give us the gate details and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
Further along that south-eastern line, the Chester Plant crushed-stone quarry is 10.6 miles out, while Grosso Materials, an industrial-mineral mine, is 6.9 miles north-east, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. When you contact us about a quarry truck, send the VIN, a photo of the body or bed, and the axle configuration, so we know which equipment is coming before we arrive.
West to the yard
Port Jervis rail and the freight around it
Sixteen miles west, the Port Jervis rail yard appears on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle loads between that yard and warehouses near Middletown are part of what we pick up, and a tractor sitting at a terminal lot out that way is no harder for us to reach than one in a driveway.
If the tractor has a trailer still hooked up, tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale or belongs to someone else. Photos of the fifth wheel, the cab interior and the plate let us confirm the unit before the pickup is booked.
Route east from Middletown
Cargo Newburgh tankers and the Stewart sites
Cargo Newburgh, a petroleum product terminal, sits 20.6 miles east of town on Energy Information Administration listings. Tank trucks and fuel tractors loading there are vehicles we buy; for one of those, the cargo tank inspection records belong in the folder alongside the title.
About seventeen miles in the same direction, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Stewart Annex and Stewart IAP as military installations. A truck stored on or near a gated site needs an access contact; name that person when you first write to us, and we arrange the visit with them rather than with you.
Freight on the job rolls
A workforce built around freight and storage
In 2023, of the 561 jobs located in Washington Heights, 217 were in transportation and warehousing, a 38.7 percent share reported by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Box trucks, straight trucks and yard tractors from depots in that sector are welcome, whether you run one unit or several.
Selling several trucks from one operation is a single conversation with us. Send a list with each VIN, the make and model year, and where each unit is parked, and we work out the collection from that list.
Milk, horses and nursery stock
Hauling for the dairies and horse farms
Around Washington Heights, Orange County holds 613 farms, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names milk, equine and potted flowering plants as its leading products. Milk haulers, livestock and horse-trailer tractors, and nursery delivery trucks from those farms are all vehicles we collect.
A farm truck often sits in a barn or out in a field lane rather than on a paved lot. Tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck and whether a gate needs opening, and keep the farm plates and the registration with the title.
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles runs its Middletown office at 12 King St, Middletown, two miles from Washington Heights, according to that agency. A seller who cannot find the certificate of title can apply there for a replacement before we collect.
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles also explains its title replacement process on its own website, dmv.ny.gov. Start that application as soon as you know the title is missing, and tell us its status when you first get in touch, so the rest of the sale is ready when the replacement arrives.
Engine labels for a Washington Heights sale
New York adopted the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (HD Omnibus) Regulation, and the state’s environmental regulators, at dec.ny.gov, list enforcement of both as paused.
For a seller in Washington Heights, the truck’s engine label and emissions paperwork belong in your photos next to the VIN plate. They tell us exactly which engine the truck carries.
