Three pits within five miles of Woonsocket
Cumberland Quarry Corp. cuts crushed stone just 2.6 miles south-east of Woonsocket, on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of working mines. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls stone from a face that close often spends its nights in the yard beside it, so give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key when you get in touch.
Pound Hill Quarry, 4.2 miles south-east, and Material Sand & Stone Corp, 4.6 miles south-west, are both sand and gravel operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your truck runs between those two pits and job sites around the city, send photos of the body, the hoist and the cab along with the title, and note which pit it usually loads at.
A truck parked at one of these sites can be collected where it stands. Tell us whether a loader or other equipment blocks it in, so the pickup is planned around the yard rather than around you.
Rail yards and fuel racks toward the bay
Two rail yards on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sit south-east of town: Valley Falls at 8.6 miles and Providence at 10.9. Day cabs that shuttle loads between these yards and Woonsocket warehouses are part of what we buy, and the registration plus any annual inspection sticker paperwork is what we ask for first.
Further out, the Energy Information Administration places the East Providence petroleum product terminal 13.5 miles away, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics counts two Sprague Energy liquid bulk terminals at 13.5 and 14.1 miles. A tank truck or tractor that has loaded at those racks can stay in East Providence for collection; name the terminal and the lot where it is kept.
If the tractor and the tank trailer are titled separately, have both titles to hand. We can take the pair or only the power unit, and knowing which up front keeps the paperwork straight on both pieces.
Freight, furniture, coil and machinery haulers
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 113 active carriers based in Woonsocket, 65 of which list general freight. The same census has 16 moving household goods, 14 hauling metal sheets, coils and rolls, and 13 carrying machinery and large objects, so trucks registered here range from moving vans to flatbeds with coil racks.
Of those carriers, 84 are authorised for interstate work and 28 stay intrastate, by the same FMCSA census, and 65 run private fleets moving their own goods. If your private-fleet truck is titled to the business rather than a person, have whoever signs for the company ready to sign the title over.
Fleets in this city range widely in size: FMCSA’s census lists one with 322 power units and 342 drivers, another with 75 power units and a third with 68. Selling one truck or several from a fleet works the same way; send the VINs and the address of the yard each one sits in.
Inspection lanes, mileage and driving range
Inspectors stopped 341 Woonsocket-based trucks between August 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2021, with 19.4 percent built ten or more years before. Whatever the model year of yours, the VIN and the odometer reading let us identify the exact truck before anything else.
Carriers based here reported a median of 18,582 miles per truck across 44 fleets in FMCSA’s census. Keep your most recent service records with the truck for when we arrive.
FMCSA’s carrier census also counts 354 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 367 working beyond it. A truck that was on a long run when you decided to sell can be collected wherever it was last parked, inside Rhode Island or out of state.
Bridges and clean-truck rules in Rhode Island
Of the 21 Woonsocket spans in the National Bridge Inventory, two carry load postings and not one has clearance below 14 feet. Tell us the street where the truck is parked, and if the route out crosses a posted bridge we will plan the collection around it.
Rhode Island’s Advanced Clean Trucks program and the Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Omnibus Regulation, both in the same chapter of state rules and both listed as in force by the Rhode Island Secretary of State, apply to trucks in the state. Selling your truck to us does not depend on either rule, and the title and registration are all the paperwork the sale needs.
Wholesale, manufacturing and building trades
Wholesale trade employs 1,284 people in Woonsocket and manufacturing 924, out of 13,667 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Box trucks and straight trucks that deliver for those employers are a common sight here, and a business-owned one needs a company officer’s signature on the title.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 78 construction establishments and three warehousing establishments in the area, and LEHD counts 305 construction jobs and 535 in transportation and warehousing. A contractor’s dump or stake-body truck can be sold from the job site; give us the address and a contact on site.
Providence County had 362 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, hogs and cut Christmas trees leading. A farm truck kept in a barn outside town is collected there, so send a photo of the access road along with the truck itself.
