Selling a truck in Coaling? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Coal haulers working the Eaton and Camp Cherry Austin pits

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Eaton resources pit 1, a coal mine 2.6 miles east of Coaling, and Camp Cherry Austin, another coal mine 7.1 miles east. A dump truck or tractor that runs between those pits and the loading points can stay parked at the pit or at your yard; we collect it from either place once you send us the address.

Of the 11 active carriers based in Coaling on FMCSA’s carrier census, six list coal and coke as cargo they carry. If yours is one of those six, tell us which pit the truck served and send photos of the body or trailer it pulls, so we know what equipment comes with it before we arrive.

Give us the name and phone number of whoever opens the gate at Eaton or Camp Cherry Austin, and the pickup gets planned around their hours.

Quarry trucks between Tuscaloosa Quarry, Vance Quarry and the Tuscaloosa Plant

Tuscaloosa Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, lies 4.2 miles east, and Vance Quarry sits 7.6 miles east, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Three Coaling carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census list dry bulk commodities. A dump truck or end-dump trailer from that work is something we buy; have its registration and VIN ready when you call.

West of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists the Tuscaloosa Plant, a sand and gravel operation 12.5 miles away. If your truck is parked out there between loads, you do not need to move it back to Coaling. Tell us which side of the plant it sits on and whether a tow truck can reach it.

Contractors in the Coaling area run 32 construction establishments, a figure from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Contractors who keep a dump truck or flatbed for that work can sell it to us directly, with the title and any service records the truck already carries.

Rail yards and a terminal

The Mercedes-Benz Plant yard and the fuel terminal northwest of Coaling

The North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the MERCEDES-BENZ PLANT rail yard 5.2 miles east of Coaling and a Tuscaloosa rail yard 13 miles west. Four carriers registered here list general freight on FMCSA’s carrier census. A day cab that has pulled vans to and from those yards can be collected wherever it is parked now.

Some 8.8 miles to the north-west, the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Tuscaloosa. If your tractor has pulled a tank trailer from that terminal, tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale and send photos of both units, since we plan the pickup for one piece or two.

Small Coaling fleets that stay inside Alabama

All 11 active carriers counted for Coaling by FMCSA’s carrier census run intrastate, with none listed as interstate, and three of them are private fleets that haul their own goods. That means your truck is likely registered for Alabama work only, so bring the Alabama registration along with the title when we come for it.

The biggest operation on that census runs two power units with two drivers; the next two run one unit each. An owner selling one truck from a fleet that size is the seller we deal with every day, and the sale needs only you, the title and the keys.

Three carriers here also list farm supplies as cargo, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A flatbed or straight truck kept for that work goes through the same steps: send photos, the VIN and the location, and we arrange collection.

FMCSA roadside inspection records for Coaling cover 40 trucks stopped from September 2024 to August 2026, and their median model year lands at 2017.5. Those same FMCSA records put 32.5 percent of the trucks at ten or more model years old. We buy across that whole span, so put the model year and the VIN in your first message.

If the truck went through one of those roadside inspections, keep the inspection report with it. A copy alongside the title and registration lets us match the paperwork to the truck when we arrive.

Plate office, Tuscaloosa

A missing title and the Tuscaloosa County plate office

For a Coaling truck, the Alabama Department of Revenue issues titles by way of its County License Plate Issuing Officials. For Coaling, that office is Tuscaloosa County at 2501 7th St., Suite 100, Tuscaloosa, 35401, about 12.9 miles from town by the Alabama Department of Revenue’s listing.

If the title is missing, start a replacement at that Tuscaloosa County office before you schedule the sale, and keep the receipt it gives you. Once the replacement is in your hands, send us a photo of it and the pickup goes ahead.

Soybean, cattle and corn trucks from the farms around Coaling

Around Coaling, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 452 farms in Tuscaloosa County, with soybeans, cattle and corn at the top of the list. Grain trucks and livestock haulers from those farms are trucks we buy, and they can be collected from the farm itself.

Give us directions to the barn or field where the truck stands, and tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck after rain. A farm truck with its title in the owner’s name is all the sale needs.

The questions we get asked in Coaling

  • Can you collect my truck from a coal pit east of Coaling without my hauling it out first?Eaton resources pit 1 is 2.6 miles east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we come to the truck there or at any other pit. Pass along the pit’s address with the name of whoever unlocks the gate.
  • Can you buy a truck from Coaling registered only for hauls within Alabama?Every one of the 11 active Coaling carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census is intrastate, so an Alabama-only registration is normal here and fine for the sale. Have the registration and title together.
