Gravel pits off the airport road
Two sand and gravel operations listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration lie within a short drive: East Coast Mines & Materials about 4 miles north-east and Westhampton Property Associates Inc about 4.1 miles north-west. Dump trucks and tri-axles that load at pits like these are trucks we buy, and if yours is parked at one of them, give us the pit name and who holds the gate key so collection can be planned with the operator.
Francis S Gabreski Airport, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records as a military installation, is roughly 2.1 miles north of the village. A truck kept near the airport or on a contractor’s yard along the way can stay where it is; send the street address, the VIN and a handful of photos of the cab, frame and tires, and we work out the pickup from there.
Tank docks at Riverhead, rail at Brookhaven
Around 11.7 miles north, United Riverhead Terminal, Inc. appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records as a liquid bulk terminal, and the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Riverhead about 11.8 miles out. Tankers and fuel delivery trucks that shuttle between those docks and the east end are part of what we purchase; tell us which terminal the truck loaded at and keep its hazmat and tank inspection paperwork with the title.
Westward, Brookhaven Rail Terminal sits about 15.4 miles away and shows up twice in federal listings, as a rail yard on the North American Rail Network and as a liquid bulk terminal with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Further along, the North Holtsville Terminal, a petroleum product site in Energy Information Administration records, is about 22 miles west. If the truck last worked transload runs out of Brookhaven, it does not need to come back to Westhampton Beach before we collect it.
Village-based haulers
Fifty-three outfits on the books
Westhampton Beach is home base for 53 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and most keep close to the state line: 44 operate only within New York, 9 run interstate, and 41 are private fleets moving their own goods. A landscaper’s or builder’s own truck is just as welcome as a for-hire tractor, so have the registration in the name that matches the title before you get in touch.
By cargo type in that same federal census, general freight leads with 18 carriers, followed by machinery and large objects at 7, motor vehicles at 5 and household goods at 4. Rollbacks, lowboys, box trucks and moving vans all fit that mix; name the body type and the trailer, if any, when you write to us.
Fleet size varies widely here: the top three local operators listed by FMCSA run 50, 17 and 7 power units, with 96, 14 and 7 drivers. Whether you are selling one unit from a seven-truck yard or several from a larger lot, a list of VINs and where each one sits lets us plan every pickup together.
Drivers who keep to the South Fork
Drivers working for carriers here mostly stay near home: the FMCSA carrier census shows 190 operating within 100 miles of base and 37 going beyond it. A truck that spends its days between the village, Riverhead and the Brookhaven yard is likely to be parked locally when you call, which makes arranging access straightforward.
Thirteen carriers in the village reported yearly mileage to FMCSA, and the midpoint of their figures sits at 10,000 miles a truck. Note the current odometer reading along with the VIN when you contact us; it is one of the first two things we ask for, and the rest of our questions follow from it.
Builders, haulers and growers nearby
Of 2,075 jobs located in Westhampton Beach in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 242 in construction, an 11.7 percent share, and 109 in transportation and warehousing, or 5.3 percent. Dump bodies, flatbeds and service trucks that move between building sites and supply yards belong on our list; include any service records you kept when you send photos.
Across Suffolk County, the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 578 farms, with potted flowering plants, equine and hogs heading the list. Stake-bed trucks used for nursery deliveries and livestock haulers from the surrounding farmland are trucks we buy, and we collect from the farm itself as long as someone can show us where the truck is parked.
New registrations add to the local roster each year: FMCSA’s census shows 5 new carriers in Westhampton Beach in 2024 and another 5 in 2025. If you started a hauling business recently and are now selling a truck, the title and your USDOT number are what to have on hand.
A replacement title in this state comes from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and its Riverhead office at 200 Old Country Rd, Riverhead, is about 9 miles from Westhampton Beach. If the certificate is missing, start the replacement there or through the agency’s DMV offices before we schedule collection, and bring the registration and your ID.
Clean-truck rules are also on paper in New York: the state lists enforcement of both the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus Regulation as paused. Selling a diesel tractor from Westhampton Beach is handled the same way as any other truck, with the title, registration and photos as the starting point.
