Stone within nine miles
Stone and gravel along the road toward Brooksville
Brooksville Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 6.8 miles east of Cleveland, is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration alongside the Gargus Borrow Pit, a sand and gravel site 7.6 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or tri-axle that spends its days between those two gates may well be parked at a pit office or a yard on that side of town when we come for it, so give us the exact spot and any gate hours.
TREMENDOUS PIT, a dimension-stone quarry 8.9 miles east, rounds out the cluster the Mine Safety and Health Administration records closest to town. Flatbeds that move cut stone are part of what we buy; send photos of the deck, the cab and the data plate, and tell us whether the truck sits inside a fenced lot so we can arrange access ahead of the visit.
Second ring of mines
Quarry gates north-east and a coal plant to the west
To the north-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Summit Quarry at 14.9 miles and Guntersville Sand, an industrial-mineral mine, at 19.2 miles from Cleveland. If your hauler is based near either one rather than at home, we collect it where it stands; just share the address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
West of town, the Dodge Mine coal preparation plant sits 22.1 miles away, and the Ashville Quarry at Hwy 26 and Hwy 33 is 22.8 miles south-east, both per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A truck working one of those sites can be picked up on location, and having its registration in the cab saves a step on collection day.
What local rigs carry
Freight, feed, machinery and timber out of Cleveland
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 47 active carriers based in Cleveland, with 26 of them listing general freight, 10 farm supplies, 10 machinery and large objects, and 8 logs, poles, beams and lumber. Whether yours is a box truck, a lowboy tractor or a log truck, tell us which of those loads it carried so our questions fit the equipment.
Of those carriers, the same federal census counts 39 operating intrastate and 8 crossing state lines, while 26 operate as private fleets moving their own goods. A private-fleet truck sold by a farm or a contractor needs the same thing as any other: a title in the seller’s name, or a clear path to one.
In Cleveland the top three fleets on FMCSA’s books run 7, 6 and 5 power units, with 7, 4 and 1 drivers. If you are retiring one unit from a handful, list the VIN for each truck you want us to look at and we will treat them one at a time.
The 2004-to-2005 midpoint of local tractors
Cleveland trucks stopped for FMCSA roadside inspection between September 2024 and August 2026 numbered 36, their median model year landing at 2004.5 and five in six of them carrying ten or more years. Whatever the year on your title, photos of the cab, frame, tires and data plate let us see the truck as it is.
For nine Cleveland carriers that reported mileage, FMCSA’s carrier census gives a median of 16,667 miles per truck a year. Note the current odometer reading when you contact us, alongside the VIN, since those two details answer most of our first questions.
Builders in town, cattle and corn around it
Construction accounts for 72 of the 561 jobs located in Cleveland in 2023, a 12.8 percent share according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 20 construction establishments. Dump trucks, flatbeds and equipment haulers from those firms often sit at a job site; tell us which one and we will meet the truck there.
Around Cleveland, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 980 farms in Blount County, led by cattle, corn and soybeans. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm-supply rigs kept on a home place can be collected from the barn lot, with the title and any service records gathered in one folder.
The Oneonta counter that reissues a missing title
Titles in Alabama run through the Alabama Department of Revenue, and its County License Plate Issuing Official for Blount County works at 220 2nd Ave. E., Room 104, Oneonta, 35121, which the Alabama Department of Revenue lists about 6.2 miles from Cleveland. If the title has gone missing, that office is where to start a replacement before the sale.
Bring proof of identity and the VIN to Oneonta, and if a lender once held the truck, a lien release as well. Once the replacement is in hand, keep it with the registration so both are ready when we arrive.
