If your tractor or box truck has spent its days on mixed freight runs, have the title and current registration in your name before you contact us, and tell us where it is parked between jobs.
Specialised work shows up in the same census: 32 Warwick carriers move machinery and large objects, 30 haul garbage, refuse and trash, and 28 carry household goods. A roll-off, a lowboy tractor or a moving van each has its own equipment list, so send photos of the body or trailer gear along with the cab, and note the make of any hoist or liftgate.
Of those carriers, the FMCSA census counts 220 that run interstate, 117 that stay within Rhode Island and 226 that operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A company truck from a private fleet can be sold by the business that holds its title; have whoever signs for the company ready with the title when we arrange collection.
Across 330 trucks inspected at the roadside between August 2024 and August 2025, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2020, with 29.7 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the year on your title, give us the VIN first so the build details come straight from it.
The median truck among 125 Warwick carriers reporting mileage covers 13,333 miles a year, according to the FMCSA census. Write down the odometer reading when you photograph the dash, and keep any service records together in one folder so they travel with the truck.
Drivers here mostly stay close to home: the census records 1,121 driving within 100 miles and 373 going beyond that radius. If your truck is out on a longer run when you decide to sell, tell us where it will finish its trip and we can plan collection there.
Terminals, rail and the ProvPort docks
Six or seven miles north, the Energy Information Administration lists the PROVIDENCE and HUDSON TERMINAL petroleum product terminals, at 6.3 and 6.6 miles, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics adds the Global Terminal Road liquid bulk terminal at 6.5 miles. A tractor that has pulled fuel or bulk liquid tankers out of those gates should come with its tank inspection paperwork if you still hold it.
Port of Providence’s ProvPort roll-on/roll-off terminal sits 6.6 miles north on Bureau of Transportation Statistics figures. If your truck is parked at a yard near the docks, give us the street address and the name of someone who can let us through the gate.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the WARWICK rail yard 5.4 miles north of the city. Day cabs that shuttle loads between the yard and nearby warehouses are trucks we buy; list the trailer types yours has pulled.
Cranston Quarry and Kent County building work
Cranston Quarry, a crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, lies 5.3 miles north-west of Warwick. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run aggregate from there can be collected at the quarry lot or your own yard; tell us which, and whether a loader blocks access.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 308 construction establishments in Warwick, while the LEHD job counts put 2,404 construction jobs here in 2023. If your mixer, dump body or flatbed belongs to a contractor, photograph the body and any hydraulic controls and have the title holder’s name ready.
Where Warwick’s jobs sit
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded 50,679 jobs in Warwick, including 3,069 in manufacturing and 2,558 in transportation and warehousing. If your straight truck or tractor serves plants and distribution sites around the city, call us with the registration card and any recent inspection report to hand.
Wholesale trade adds 2,112 jobs on the same LEHD figures. If your delivery box truck or reefer is kept at a depot between routes, tell us the depot’s opening hours and we will arrange collection around them.
Clearances, bridges and Rhode Island rules
The National Bridge Inventory puts the lowest at 13ft 8in, where the Airport Connector crosses US 1 Post Road, so if your truck is parked on a route under it, mention that when you send the address and we will plan the approach.
Rhode Island has adopted Advanced Clean Trucks and the Heavy-Duty Omnibus regulation under its Low-Emission and Zero Emission Vehicle Programs, both in force according to the Secretary of State’s published rules. These cover new vehicles sold in the state; for your sale, what matters is a clear title, the registration and the VIN.
