The quarry and the Richmond pits
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists PLANT 7, a crushed-stone quarry, about 1 mile north of Westerly. A dump truck or tractor that has been working that quarry is probably parked on site or in a yard close by, so tell us which gate it sits behind and who can open it on the day we collect.
Two sand and gravel operations, Richmond and Richmond Sand & Stone, appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings 11.4 and 11.7 miles to the north-east. If your truck runs loads between those pits and job sites in town, send photos of the body, the frame and the cab, plus the registration, so the truck you describe and the truck we see are the same one.
Freight, lumber and car haulers based in Westerly
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 79 active carriers based in Westerly, of which 48 operate interstate and 31 keep to intrastate work. If your authority covers interstate hauling, have your USDOT number handy when you contact us, since it helps us match the truck to the records that go with it.
General freight is the cargo listed by 28 of those carriers, machinery and large objects by 17, logs, poles, beams and lumber by 14, and motor vehicles by 10, according to the same FMCSA census. Whether yours is a flatbed that moved lumber, a lowboy that moved equipment or a car hauler, tell us what trailer or body it carried so we can plan the pickup around it.
Sixty-five of the Westerly carriers in the FMCSA census run private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. If the truck you want to sell belongs to a business like that, the title should be in the company’s name, and whoever signs it needs the authority to sign for the company.
Westerly drivers who stay within a day’s reach
Of the drivers listed by Westerly carriers, 468 work within 100 miles of base and 36 range beyond it, FMCSA’s census reports. A truck that stays that close is usually back in its own yard each night, which is where we would expect to load it.
Twenty-nine Westerly carriers file yearly mileage with FMCSA, and the middle figure among them sits at 12,500 miles a truck. Put the current odometer reading in your first message along with the VIN; those two figures answer most of the questions we would otherwise send back.
One Westerly operation on FMCSA’s census fields 171 power units, and the next two field 47 and 27. If you manage a fleet and plan to sell several trucks at once, list each one with its VIN and the address where it is parked, and we can arrange the collections together.
Westerly trucks pulled for roadside checks
Inspectors pulled over 27 Westerly-based trucks from late 2024 through mid-2026, and the middle model year among them was 2022, per FMCSA roadside inspection records. Have the model year and the engine details ready when you reach out, since both go on the bill of sale.
Of those 27 Westerly trucks, the FMCSA roadside inspection records show 18.5 percent at ten or more model years. Whatever the year of your truck, keep any inspection reports and service records you hold with the title, and send them along with the photos.
Jobs and building in Westerly
Westerly had 7,351 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with 574 in manufacturing, 343 in construction and 144 in wholesale trade. If your truck delivers to plants or wholesalers around town, let us know the yard it returns to; we can meet it there.
Westerly has 76 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, from builders to site contractors. A dump truck, flatbed or service body tied to a building contractor here should come with its title and registration in the contractor’s name, and a note of any equipment mounted on it.
Farms, bases and the Davisville yard
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 324 farms in Washington County, with cattle, corn and hogs as the leading products. A farm truck kept on one of those properties can stay where it is; give us directions to the barn or field and a phone number for whoever will be there.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Ft Nathaniel Greene USARC 16.8 miles east of Westerly and the NG Camp Fogarty Tng Site 23.1 miles to the north-east. Further up the same side of the state, the DAVISVILLE rail yard sits 23.8 miles north-east on the North American Rail Network. If your truck is parked anywhere along that route, a street address or the nearest crossroads is all we need to find it.
The questions we get asked in Westerly
- My dump truck sits at the stone quarry just above Westerly. Must I haul it into town before you load it?PLANT 7 is about 1 mile north of Westerly on the Mine Safety and Health Administration list, and we collect from there. Name the quarry contact who opens the gate and we line up the collection through that person.
- I run a private fleet out of Westerly and want to sell more than one truck at once.Sixty-five Westerly carriers in FMCSA’s census haul their own goods, and several trucks from one of them can go together. Send the VIN, odometer reading and parking address for each, plus the name of the person who signs titles for the company.
- The truck is on a Washington County farm outside Westerly. Will you collect it at the farm itself?Washington County holds 324 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and a truck on any of them can be collected where it sits. Give us the farm address and a contact who can meet us there.
- What should I gather before I get in touch?FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median Westerly truck at model year 2022, and for a truck of any year we need the title, registration, VIN, odometer reading and photos of the cab, frame and body. Add any inspection or service records you have.
