Of the 95 active carriers based in and around Camden on FMCSA’s carrier census, 48 list logs, poles, beams and lumber among the cargo they carry. If yours is a log truck or a tractor that pulled a pole trailer, tell us the trailer type when you contact us, and whether the two are sold together or apart.
General freight appears on 39 of those Camden carrier records in the same FMCSA census, so a day cab or sleeper that hauled mixed loads is just as likely here as a log rig. Send the VIN, a photo of the door sticker and a few pictures of the cab and frame, and we can start from there.
A log truck that is parked at the end of a woods road outside town does not need to be moved first. Give us the road name, the nearest crossroads and a phone number for whoever holds the gate key.
Lowboys, machinery and coil loads
Machinery and large objects show up on 21 Camden carrier filings in FMCSA’s carrier census, and metal sheets, coils and rolls on another 8. Heavy-haul tractors that pulled equipment trailers or coil loads are trucks we purchase, with or without the trailer.
For a tractor set up for heavy hauling, write down the axle configuration and the fifth wheel setup before you call. Add photos of the rear axles, plus the trailer deck when the trailer is part of the sale.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 7 construction establishments in the county, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 51 of the area’s 1,056 jobs, or 4.8 percent, in construction. A dump truck or equipment hauler that served those job sites can be collected from the yard where it sits.
Short-haul work around Wilcox roads
Intrastate operations account for 85 of Camden’s 95 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, against 10 that run interstate, and 45 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Most trucks here have spent their working lives inside Alabama, which keeps the registration and the title in one state’s system.
Drivers working within 100 air miles number 163 in that same FMCSA census, while 44 range beyond it. For a seller, that usually means the truck comes home each night, so tell us whether it is kept at your house, a shop or a farm yard.
Have the odometer reading and the most recent service records together, since those two items answer most of our first questions.
Inspectors checked 29 trucks from Camden carriers between October 2024 and July 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2013 for them.
Older trucks are part of what we purchase here; add a recent inspection report to the photos if you have one.
Fleet sizes stay small around town: on FMCSA’s carrier census the three largest Camden fleets run 11, 7 and 7 power units. Whether you are selling one truck or several from a small fleet, list each VIN separately so each title can be matched.
Titles here run through the Alabama Department of Revenue, which handles applications through County License Plate Issuing Officials. The Wilcox County office sits at 100 Broad St., Camden, 36726, 0.4 miles from the town centre according to the Alabama Department of Revenue’s office list.
If the title is lost, that Broad Street office is where a Camden owner starts the replacement. Bring the registration and your identification, and tell us when the application is filed so we can plan around it.
A lender’s release letter, kept with the title, saves a second trip to Broad Street.
Cattle, cotton and the Magnolia rail yard
Camden sits among 336 farms counted across Wilcox County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, where cattle, cotton and corn lead the list. Grain trucks, cattle haulers and farm tractors used on the road are trucks we purchase, and they can be collected from the barn or the field edge.
If your truck is parked near the yard rather than in Camden, give us that address instead and we will come there.
A newer operation that is selling a truck should have the title, the registration and the cab card in the same folder.
If the truck was bought on a loan when the authority started, the lender may still hold the title. Ask them for the payoff process and a lien release, and tell us who the lender is when you contact us.
