Aggregate gates east and north-west of Ashville
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Ashville Quarry at Hwy 26 and Hwy 33 two and a half miles east of town, and the Ashville Rock Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, five miles to the north-west. If your dump truck or tri-axle hauls aggregate out of either gate, tell us which one and whether the truck is still parked on site, so the pickup can be planned around the quarry’s hours and access road.
The Gargus Borrow Pit, a sand and gravel operation 13 miles north-west, and Tremendous Pit, a dimension-stone quarry 16.2 miles in that direction, appear on the same Mine Safety and Health Administration register. A truck that spends its weeks between pits like these is often left at the pit rather than at home; give us the pit name and a contact who can open the gate.
Have the title, the current registration and a few clear photos of the cab, the bed and the VIN plate ready before you call. With those in hand, the first call about a quarry truck can cover the truck itself instead of chasing paperwork.
Cement and mineral sites to the south-east
South-east of Ashville, 9.1 miles out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records both the National Cement Company cement plant and the Ragland industrial-mineral mine. Bulk tractors and flatbeds that serve a cement plant are trucks we purchase, whether the tractor is yours alone or one of a small fleet.
A truck parked in a yard near Ragland can stay there for the sale. Send us the yard address and the gate hours, and we will arrange collection at that yard.
Rail yards on two sides of St. Clair County
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Honda Auto rail yard 17.1 miles south-east of Ashville and the Alabama City yard 17.5 miles to the north-east. Day cabs that shuttle loads between those yards and local shippers fit the trucks we buy.
For a tractor that has worked yard moves, keep any service or inspection records you have together with the title. A short note listing the yards it ran between helps us understand the truck before we see it.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 64 active carriers in Ashville, and only 8 of them cross state lines while 56 keep to Alabama roads; 36 of the 64 are private fleets moving their own goods. Cargo listings in that census put general freight at 25 carriers, machinery and large objects at 19, farm supplies at 17, and grain, feed and hay at 11.
The biggest operations based here are modest by that same census: the top three run 14, 8 and 5 power units. If you run one of those small fleets and want to sell two or three tractors at once, list each VIN and where each one is parked, and we can collect them together.
A dozen Ashville carriers reported yearly mileage to FMCSA, and their median truck logged 33,057 miles over the year. Have the odometer reading ready alongside the title when you get in touch.
FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 through August 2026 take in 28 trucks belonging to carriers based in Ashville. Those inspection records give a median model year of 2019 and show 35.7 percent at ten or more years old.
Whatever the model year of your truck, a photo of the door sticker and the registration card gives us the build details in one step. Send those with your first message.
Farm country around the county seat
St. Clair County counted 585 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, equine and deer as the leading listings. Livestock trailers’ tractors, hay haulers and farm flatbeds from those operations are trucks we take, including ones registered to the farm rather than to a person.
If the title is in the farm’s name, have whoever signs for the farm ready to sign the title over. Ashville’s own job base, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, holds 1,410 jobs, with 121 in manufacturing, 73 in construction and 69 in wholesale trade; County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 11 construction establishments.
The license office a mile from town
In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Revenue handles title applications through its County License Plate Issuing Officials. For Ashville sellers that office is St. Clair County’s, at 165 5th Ave., Ashville, 35953, about a mile from town on the Alabama Department of Revenue’s office list.
If your title is missing, start the replacement there before we schedule collection, and bring your registration and identification. Tell us the replacement is underway and we can keep talking about the truck while it comes through.
