Crushed stone by the village
A quarry to the west, gravel toward Richmond
PLANT 7, a crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, sits about 2.2 miles west of Bradford. Dump trucks and tri-axles that cycle between a quarry face and local job sites are trucks we buy, and a quarry hauler often stays parked near the pit between loads, so give us the yard address rather than a home address if that is where it sits.
Heading north-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two sand and gravel operations, Richmond at 9.3 miles and Richmond Sand & Stone at 9.7. If your truck has hauled aggregate out of either one, send photos of the body, the hoist and the cab together with the VIN, and tell us which pit it ran from so our questions fit the work it did.
Quarry and pit work tends to leave a truck at the site rather than on a driveway. We collect from the place the truck is kept, so tell us whether a gate code, a site contact or set hours apply before pickup is arranged.
Twelve own-account outfits
Bradford trucks that carry the owner’s own freight
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 14 active motor carriers based in Bradford, and 12 of those run as private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. A contractor or farm that owns a truck for its own work can sell it to us the same way a trucking company would; the title in the business’s name is what we need to see.
Of those 14 carriers, nine are registered for interstate work and five stay intrastate, again per the federal carrier census. If your truck crossed into Connecticut on its routes, keep its registration and any interstate paperwork with the title so the history is clear when we look at it.
Machinery and large objects and general freight each appear on five of the town’s carrier registrations in the FMCSA census, with farm supplies and garbage, refuse and trash on three apiece. Lowboys, roll-offs, rear-loaders and flatbeds all fit what we buy, and so does the tractor that pulls them.
Headcounts on the census filings
An eleven-tractor operation among two- and three-truck shops
FMCSA’s census shows one local outfit with 11 power units and 17 drivers, while the next two in line operate four trucks and three. Whether you are selling one truck or several from a fleet like these, list each VIN separately and we will handle them as one pickup or several, whichever suits your yard.
Ten Bradford carriers file yearly mileage with FMCSA, and the typical truck among them logged 8,625 miles. That is a neutral figure, not a judgement; just read the odometer off each truck and send it with the photos, since it is one of the first things we ask.
Twenty of the 38 drivers on local carrier filings operate inside a hundred-mile radius, and the other 18 range beyond it, as FMCSA’s census records them. A truck that runs far from Bradford may be parked somewhere else on the day you call; tell us the town where it actually sits.
Cattle, corn and hogs around Bradford
Around Bradford, Washington County carries 324 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, corn and hogs lead its list. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm dumps that serve those operations are trucks we buy, and a truck that spends the season on a farm can be collected from the farm itself.
Builders account for four establishments near Bradford in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and their dump trucks and flatbeds fit what we buy. A builder’s dump truck or flatbed often carries a business registration rather than a personal one, so have the company’s name on the title match the person who signs it over.
Farm trucks sometimes run on farm plates or a farm registration. Send a photo of the plate and the registration card along with the title, and we can tell you straight away what the transfer will involve.
Reserve centre and rail spurs
Army Reserve, Guard training ground and the Quonset yards
East of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Ft Nathaniel Greene USARC 14.6 miles away, with NG Camp Fogarty Tng Site 20.8 miles to the north-east. A truck that has hauled to either installation, or that is kept near one, is one we can collect where it stands; just tell us about any access rules at the gate.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and BTS, lists the DAVISVILLE rail yard 21.4 miles north-east and QUONSET AUTO LOAD a little further at 23.8. Day cabs that shuttle between those yards and nearby lots are trucks we buy; send the VIN, the odometer reading and a few photos to start.
If your tractor is parked at a yard up near Quonset rather than in Bradford, that is fine. Give us the yard’s address and the name of whoever can let us in, and the pickup is planned around that spot.
New London Avenue for a missing title
Rhode Island’s Division of Motor Vehicles handles titles, and the office for this is its Research and Title Office at DMV headquarters, 600 New London Avenue, Cranston, 02920, about 29.3 miles from Bradford. If the title is missing, start the duplicate there before pickup, and keep the receipt or application copy to show us.
Alongside the title, have the registration, any lien release from a lender and a photo ID for the person named on the title. If the truck is titled to a business, bring the paperwork that shows who can sign for it.
In Rhode Island, the state’s Low-Emission and Zero Emission Vehicle Programs - Advanced Clean Trucks and the Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Omnibus Regulation as in force. Neither changes what you need to sell an existing truck to us; the title, registration and photos are still the list.
