Log trucks lead the Greensboro roster
Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 74 cargo filings among Greensboro’s 127 active carriers, a split recorded in FMCSA’s carrier census. If your tractor has pulled a log trailer out of the Hale County woods, tell us whether the trailer goes with it or stays behind, and send a photo of the headache rack and the fifth wheel.
General freight shows up on 56 of those Greensboro carrier filings, according to the same federal census, and 25 list machinery and large objects. A tractor that hauled a lowboy or a step-deck for equipment moves can sit at a job site rather than a yard; give us the site’s location and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Most Greensboro haulers stay inside Alabama
FMCSA’s census counts 110 Greensboro carriers registered for intrastate work against 17 cleared to cross state lines, and 48 of them run private fleets hauling their own goods. For an in-state truck, the Alabama registration and the title are usually all the paperwork we ask about before collection.
Driver records filed with the federal motor carrier census put 144 Greensboro drivers working within a 100-mile radius and 231 going beyond it. If your truck is parked out on a long route when you decide to sell, tell us the town where it sits; it does not need to come back to Hale County first.
A median of 37,967 miles a truck came back from the twenty Greensboro outfits that filed annual mileage with FMCSA. Have the odometer reading and the VIN on hand when you call, since those two figures let us identify the exact tractor.
Greensboro’s plate office sits on Main Street
The Alabama Department of Revenue handles titles through County License Plate Issuing Officials, and Greensboro’s is the Hale County office at 1001 Main St., Greensboro, 36744, about 0.2 miles from the town centre. If your title is missing, that is where a replacement application starts.
Should the truck still carry a lien, bring the lender’s release along to the Hale County office on Main Street so the Alabama Department of Revenue can clear it before the title changes hands. Keep the current registration card in the cab for the day we collect.
Cement, propane, gravel
Cement, gravel and fuel within twenty miles
South-west of Greensboro, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Demopolis Plant, a cement plant 18.3 miles out, and the Energy Information Administration places the Demopolis Propane Terminal at 19 miles in the same direction. A bulk tanker or pneumatic rig that served either site can be collected from a Demopolis yard just as easily as from town.
North toward Moundville, Cypress Pit, a sand and gravel operation 19 miles away, and Big Crater LLC, an industrial-mineral mine at 19.9 miles, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Dump trucks that worked those pits often stay parked on site, so tell us which gate to use and whether the truck can be reached from the road.
The IMTT Moundville petroleum product terminal sits 19.9 miles north of Greensboro, per the Energy Information Administration. If your fuel tractor last ran out of Moundville, send the tank trailer’s details separately from the tractor’s so we know which pieces you are selling.
Cattle and corn hauling
Cattle, corn and tomatoes around Greensboro
Around Greensboro, Hale County held 382 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and tomatoes leading its top products. Seventeen local carriers list farm supplies as cargo on FMCSA’s census, so a livestock hauler or grain truck parked in a barn lot is a normal pickup for us.
For a farm truck, the title and the Alabama registration matter more than any logbook. If the truck is registered to a family farm rather than a person, tell us whose name is on the Hale County title before we schedule the collection.
Greensboro tractors on the inspection rolls
Between September 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 62 trucks linked to Greensboro carriers, and FMCSA roadside inspection records show half of them, 51.6%, at ten or more model years old, around a median model year of 2016. Whatever the model year of yours, the photos we ask for are the same: cab, frame, tires and the data plate.
Greensboro’s biggest local fleet runs 13 power units with 13 drivers, and the next two run six apiece, on FMCSA’s census. Owners selling several trucks at once can list them together with each VIN, and we arrange the collection around where each one is parked.
Two new carriers registered in Greensboro in 2025 and nine in 2024, by FMCSA’s count. A truck bought for a new authority comes with a short paper trail; the title, the registration and the bill of sale from your own purchase are enough to start.
The questions we get asked in Greensboro
- I misplaced the title to my log truck in Greensboro, so where do I apply for a duplicate?Hale County’s license plate issuing office, at 1001 Main St., Greensboro, 36744, takes title applications for the Alabama Department of Revenue, about 0.2 miles from the town centre. File for the duplicate there, then let us know the application is in.
- Our tandem dump sits at Cypress Pit up the Moundville road; can it be loaded out right there?Cypress Pit lies 19 miles north of Greensboro and Big Crater LLC 19.9 miles north, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from sites like those. Send the pit gate’s location along with the name of the person who will meet us there.
- I pull a log trailer around Hale County, so is my tractor something you collect?Log haulers make up 74 of Greensboro’s 127 active carriers on FMCSA’s census, and a log truck is exactly what we buy here. Send photos of the tractor and say whether the trailer is part of the sale.
