If yours is a log truck or a tractor that pulled a pole trailer out of the Bibb County woods, tell us whether the loader or the trailer goes with it; we plan the collection around that answer.
General freight shows up on 32 of those carrier registrations in FMCSA’s census, and machinery or large objects on 22. A day cab that moved equipment between job sites here, or a lowboy tractor, should be described by what it pulled; send the VIN, the plate and a few clear photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel.
Brierfield stone and the coal country to the north-west
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Brierfield Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, about 11.2 miles north-east of town, with a second Brierfield quarry 13.2 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or tractor that ran stone out of either one can stay parked at the yard; give us the site name and someone who can let us through the gate.
Camp Cherry Austin and Rockcastle Mine, both coal mines, sit roughly 14.3 miles north-west of Centreville according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and Reynolds Mine, an industrial-mineral site, lies 21.1 miles south-east. If your truck is still on a mine property, check with the operator about access before we schedule the visit, and keep any site inspection sheets with the title.
Rail yards between Centreville and Birmingham
A tractor that shuttled freight to either yard can be collected from wherever it now stands; send the street address and a note on the gate or lane we should use.
Further up, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Birmingham intermodal ramp about 24.3 miles north. Container chassis and the tractors that pulled them are part of what we purchase, so mention the chassis if it belongs to you and leave out any that the railroad or a lessor owns.
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 75 of Centreville’s carriers as intrastate only, against 8 that cross state lines, and 43 run as private fleets moving their own goods. Most trucks sold from here will be found at a home shop, a farm or a contractor’s lot rather than a terminal, so tell us exactly where it sits.
The three biggest fleets on file with FMCSA run 22, 5 and 5 power units, and drivers registered in town split 91 working inside a hundred-mile circle and 79 going farther. For an owner-operator with one tractor, a photo of the registration card and the odometer reading answers most of our first questions.
Note your own annual figure when you write to us; it helps us match the right collection plan to the truck.
Have the model year, engine and transmission written down before you contact us so we can confirm the truck from the VIN.
Whatever the year of yours, a service log or a stack of shop invoices tells us the truck’s history, and we ask for it from every seller.
Getting a lost Bibb County title replaced
In Alabama, titles are handled by the Alabama Department of Revenue through County License Plate Issuing Officials, and the Bibb County office sits at 8 Court Square W., Suite A, Centreville, 35042, just 0.9 miles from the middle of town. If the title is missing, start the replacement there before we arrange the pickup.
A lienholder named on the title will need to sign a release, so call the lender early. Bring your ID and the truck’s VIN to Court Square, and keep the registration with the title so both travel together on collection day.
Cattle, goats and the work around town
Bibb County has 176 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, goats and sheep at the top of the list. A straight truck or a tractor that pulled a livestock trailer between pastures can be picked up from the farm itself; name the gate and the lane where it is parked.
Census Bureau LEHD job counts put 1,409 jobs in Centreville in 2023, 51 of them in transportation and warehousing, about 3.6 percent. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 10 construction establishments, so contractor dump trucks and service bodies parked at a yard in town are trucks we collect too.
