Sell My Truck

Two operations, two ways of loading

The North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists a Norfolk Southern rail yard about half a mile from the borough centre. The Marathon Petroleum terminal at Clairton is roughly 1 mile north-east of it, which puts two entirely different kinds of freight inside a mile and a half of each other.

A rail yard at a coke works and a fuel terminal put trucks on the same valley roads, and neither hauls what the other hauls. Liquid in a tanker, and coke and its by-products in something else again.

The Clairton Coke Works yard is about 5 miles north-east and the Peters Creek yard about the same.

Seven yards inside six miles

That density is the thing to plan around here. The North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists seven rail yards within 6 miles — Connelly at Lincoln and Peters Creek among them — and seven more around McKeesport and Duquesne inside 11 miles.

So the distances are short and the turns are tight. The Duquesne Coal Dock is about 10 miles north-east and the Irvin Yards about 7 miles north, which is close enough that a truck can work more than one of them in a day and far enough that the road between them matters.

Tankers and tank trailers off the terminal, flatbeds, day cabs and road tractors off the yards, rollbacks, service bodies and the pickups every small outfit keeps beside its big truck.

  • Tell us what it carried, because a tanker that moved fuel and one that moved something else are cleaned differently.
  • Can you get into a yard or a terminal?Around the Clairton Coke Works and the Marathon Petroleum terminal it is routine — a gate and a contact is all we need.
  • We only have the one truck.Most of what we buy here is a single truck from a small outfit.

A contract ends, or an owner-operator running the valley stops, and the truck that did the work has no obvious second home. At two and three-truck scale there is no fleet to absorb it.

So it sits on ground that has no further use for it.
