Crushed stone east and west of Eva
Lacon Quarry sits 7.1 miles west of Eva and Gum Pond Quarry 7.2 miles east, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists both as crushed-stone operations. A dump truck or aggregate hauler that runs between those two pits is very likely parked at a home yard in Eva when it is time to sell, and we come out to that yard to collect it.
Farther out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Guntersville Sand, an industrial-mineral mine 19.1 miles east, and Pit #1, a dimension-stone quarry 23.7 miles to the west. If your truck hauled from either one, tell us the body type, the axle count and the VIN when you first get in touch, and send photos of the bed, the frame and the cab so the description and the pictures agree.
Rail ramps and Redstone Arsenal up the road
Heading north from Eva, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Huntsville, AL intermodal ramp 21.8 miles away and Redstone Arsenal, a military installation, at 22 miles. A tractor that pulls containers off that ramp may be sitting closer to Huntsville than to home on the day you call; give us the street address where it actually stands and pickup is planned there.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Oakworth rail yard 21.8 miles north-west of town and Huntsville Intermodal 22.1 miles north. Day cabs and sleepers that shuttle between those yards are trucks we buy; have the registration and any service records together so the paperwork follows the tractor.
Of the 51 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Eva, 23 list logs, poles, beams and lumber among their cargo, 15 list machinery and large objects, 11 haul general freight and 10 carry farm supplies. Log trucks, lowboys, flatbeds and dry vans all fit that mix, and every one of them is a truck we will look at.
Most of those outfits stay in Alabama: the same federal census counts 49 intrastate operators against 2 interstate ones, and 37 of the 51 run private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the title, so check whose name is printed there before you contact us; whoever holds the title is the one who signs it over.
Eva outfits from four drivers to eighteen
The largest fleet that FMCSA’s carrier census records in Eva runs 25 power units with 18 drivers, the next has 8 power units and 8 drivers, and a third lists 6 power units with 4 drivers. We buy one truck from an owner-operator or several from a fleet; for a group sale, list each VIN with its title status so every unit is accounted for.
On driver radius, the same FMCSA census shows 83 drivers based here working inside a hundred-mile radius and 32 going beyond it. A short-haul truck is usually at its Eva yard in the evening, while a long-haul one can be anywhere on its route, so tell us where the truck will be standing on the day you want it picked up.
Eva gained 4 carriers in 2024 and a single one in 2025 on FMCSA’s registration records. If you bought a truck to start one of those outfits and are now stepping back from hauling, bring the registration and the title together before the sale.
The Alabama Department of Revenue handles title applications, and it works through County License Plate Issuing Officials. The Alabama Department of Revenue lists Cullman County, 11.5 miles from Eva, at 500 2nd Ave. S.W., Rm 103, Cullman, 35055, as the nearest of those offices on the Alabama Department of Revenue’s list.
If the title has gone missing, start a replacement there before you sell, and bring your registration and an ID. Once a duplicate is in hand, send us a photo of its front side together with the VIN plate so both numbers can be matched.
Farms, building firms and local jobs near Eva
Morgan County holds 1,102 farms according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, soybeans and corn listed as its leading products. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and the farm-supply rigs counted among Eva’s carriers are all trucks we buy, and they are usually collected right from the farm lot.
Eva itself has 250 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, and County Business Patterns shows 11 construction establishments. If a building firm here is retiring a dump truck or a flatbed, a photo set of the cab, the body and the tires plus the title is enough to begin.
The questions we get asked in Eva
- Will you collect a truck parked at a quarry instead of in Eva?Lacon Quarry and Gum Pond Quarry both sit about seven miles from Eva by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, and we collect from a quarry lot as readily as from a driveway. Name the pit, the gate and the person holding its key when you write.
- Is a pole or log trailer rig from Eva something you take?Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 23 of the 51 carrier records FMCSA’s carrier census holds for Eva, and log trucks are on the list of what we buy. Pole trailers and loaders count too, so mention any attached equipment with the VIN.
- Could the tractor be collected near the Huntsville ramp where it pulls containers instead of at my Eva yard?The Huntsville, AL intermodal ramp lies 21.8 miles north of Eva per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and we can collect the tractor near that ramp or at home; just tell us the address where it will stand.
