Stone quarries south of Brook Highland
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists LANDMARK PLANT and Alabaster Mill, both crushed-stone quarries, 6.2 miles south of Brook Highland. A dump truck or a tri-axle that hauls stone out of either one is the kind of truck we collect from a Shelby County driveway or a gravel lot near the pit. Send us the VIN, the body type and a photo of the bed along with the cab.
If your stone truck still sits on quarry property, you do not need to move it before you sell. Give us the site name and someone who can let our driver through the gate, and we will set the collection around their hours rather than yours.
Keep the title, the current Alabama registration and any scale tickets or service records together in the cab. A quarry hauler with its paperwork in one folder is a simpler handover for everyone standing at the truck that afternoon.
NORRIS yard and the Birmingham rail lines
Eight miles and a bit north, at 8.2 miles, the North American Rail Network shows the NORRIS rail yard; the same Federal Railroad Administration and Bureau of Transportation Statistics map places BIRMINGHAM (ABWR) 10.4 miles to the north-west. Day cabs that shuttle loads between those yards and local docks are tractors we take.
Tell us whether the tractor has a fifth wheel, a wet kit or both, and send a photo of each. A yard tractor or day cab kept near Brook Highland is collected from where it stands; leave it parked and give us the address.
Tankers around the Birmingham petroleum terminal
Ten miles west, the Energy Information Administration lists the BIRMINGHAM petroleum product terminal, and a liquid bulk terminal appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 10.6 miles to the north-west. Straight tank trucks and tractors that pull tank trailers between sites like these are on our list.
For a tanker, include the tank’s capacity plate and any recent inspection or pressure-test certificates with your photos. Those papers answer the questions a tank raises before anyone has to ask them, and they travel with the truck when we load it.
Installations near the Birmingham airport
Two military installations, NG AASF02 Birmingham at 9.9 miles and Birmingham Airport at 10 miles, both north-west of town, appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. Support trucks, flatbeds and box trucks that have worked contracts near the airport fit what we collect.
If the truck is parked behind a controlled gate, tell us early and name the person who can sign our driver in. We arrange pickup on the site’s terms, and a truck on base property needs the same title and registration as one in a Shelby County driveway.
Cotton, cattle and horse farms in Shelby County
Shelby County had 385 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cotton, cattle and horses at the top of its list. Cattle haulers, flatbeds that carry hay and baled cotton, and pickups set up to pull a stock or horse trailer are all trucks we buy here.
A farm truck often sits in a barn or pasture rather than on pavement. Tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a rollback to reach it, and send a photo of the approach as well as the truck.
Work based in Brook Highland
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put Work based in Brook Highland in 2023. A commercial truck owned here may be kept at a home or a small yard and work elsewhere in Shelby County or around Birmingham.
That means the truck you want to sell may be at your house, at a job site or at a shop. Give us the address where it actually sits today, and whether keys and title are with it, and we plan the collection from there.
The questions we get asked in Brook Highland
- Can you collect a stone hauler left beside the Alabaster Mill pit instead of in town?Alabaster Mill is 6.2 miles south of Brook Highland on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we come to the truck where it is parked there. Tell us who controls the lot so the gate is open when our driver arrives.
- Would you buy the pickup and gooseneck setup I use to move cattle between Shelby County pastures?Cattle sit near the top of Shelby County’s farm list in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and the trucks that haul them are ones we buy. Send photos of the truck, the hitch and the ground it is parked on.
- What paperwork should I have ready for a tanker that worked the Birmingham terminal?The BIRMINGHAM petroleum product terminal, 10 miles west on Energy Information Administration records, is the kind of site a tanker here serves. Have the title, current registration, the tank’s capacity plate and any inspection certificates ready.
