Logs before vans
What Haleyville trucks carry: poles, presses and coil
Of the 163 Haleyville carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 78 list logs, poles, beams and lumber as a cargo they carry, 44 list machinery and large objects, and 29 list metal sheets, coils and rolls. If your tractor has pulled a log trailer or a stepdeck loaded with coils, tell us which trailer it was coupled to and whether that trailer is part of the sale.
General freight shows up on 68 of those same filings in the FMCSA census, so dry vans and box trucks are registered in town beside the timber rigs. Whatever the body, send a photo of the door sticker with the VIN and gross weight rating, plus one of each side; that pair of images settles most of what we would otherwise ask by phone.
A heavy-haul tractor that moved equipment for a Winston County job often has a wet kit, a sliding fifth wheel or extra axles on its trailer. List those fittings when you write to us, and say if any of them comes off before pickup, so the truck we load is the truck you described.
Home-state miles
Short-radius drivers, in-state carriers and private fleets around Haleyville
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 115 Haleyville carriers authorised for intrastate work only and 48 for interstate, while 93 run as private fleets moving their own goods. A truck that never left Alabama usually still carries its in-state registration and cab card; have both in the glovebox or photographed before we call.
On FMCSA’s carrier census, Haleyville carriers report 144 drivers working within 100 miles of home and 184 driving beyond that radius. If your truck runs long and is parked somewhere other than Winston County, give us that address rather than your home one; collection happens where the truck stands.
A median of 24,450 miles a year per truck comes from the 42 Haleyville carriers that filed mileage on FMCSA’s carrier census. Read the odometer and the engine hours off the dash, photograph them, and send both with the VIN; those two numbers frame the rest of our conversation.
Single rigs and fleets
One-truck outfits and multi-unit fleets
The biggest Haleyville fleet on FMCSA’s census lists 37 power units and 30 drivers; the next two list 13 power units with 13 drivers and 8 power units with 9. Most of the rest are one- and two-truck outfits, and we buy from both, one tractor or several.
Selling more than one unit from a Haleyville yard? Put each VIN, its title status and where it is parked on one list. Send that list with your first message and we will work through it truck by truck.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 12 Haleyville carriers added in 2024 and 3 in 2025. If your authority is newly closed or about to be, keep the truck’s title and last registration together; an inactive DOT number does not stop the sale of the truck itself.
Door-plate years
Title years on Haleyville-registered tractors checked by roadside inspectors
Haleyville carriers had 126 trucks checked at the roadside from September 2024 to August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give 2016 as their median model year. Your truck’s model year is on the title and on the door plate; give us the one printed on the title.
FMCSA roadside inspection records also put 49.2% of those Haleyville trucks at ten or more model years old. Whatever the year, keep the latest annual inspection report and any service invoices in one folder, since paperwork like that lets us match the truck to its history.
Stone and gravel sites around town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists MARION COUNTY ROCK, a crushed-stone quarry 16.7 miles south of Haleyville, and South Russellville Quarry, another crushed-stone site 17.4 miles north. A dump truck or tri-axle parked at either pit can be collected there; tell us who runs the gate and when it is open.
Rockwood Mine, a dimension-stone quarry, sits 20 miles north according to MSHA, and All Star Sand & Gravel, Inc. is 21.8 miles south-west. If the truck has spent its working life on a quarry floor, note the pit name in your first message and whether a loader is on site.
Bridges, plants, farms
Bridges, factory jobs and county farms
None of Haleyville’s 10 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory carries a posted load limit or sits below 14 feet. A rollback or lowboy can reach a truck in town without routing around a weight limit, so a street address is enough for us to plan the trip.
Manufacturing accounts for 677 of the 2,320 jobs located in Haleyville in 2023, or 29.2%, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and wholesale trade adds 159. Box trucks and tractors that served a plant dock often sit in its lot; ask the plant who can release it before we schedule collection.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 385 farms in Winston County, with cattle, corn and goats at the top. Ten construction outfits keep an establishment here on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A farm truck or a contractor’s dump body on private ground is collected where it sits; send a pin or directions to the barn or yard.
The questions we get asked in Haleyville
- My log truck is parked at a timber landing off a county road outside Haleyville. Can you collect it off that gravel road?With 78 Haleyville carriers on FMCSA’s census hauling logs, poles and lumber, landings in the woods are a common pickup spot. Send GPS coordinates and a note on whether the road holds a rollback in wet weather.
- The title for my Winston County log truck is lost somewhere in the house; which office reissues it?Alabama’s duplicate titles come from the state’s title agency, and the request goes in under the name on the last registration. Start that request, tell us it is under way, and send the registration and VIN so we can line the rest up.
- My tri-axle dump is still parked at South Russellville Quarry; do you load it at the pit?MSHA lists four stone and gravel operations within 22 miles of Haleyville, from MARION COUNTY ROCK to All Star Sand & Gravel, Inc., and a truck parked at any of them can be picked up on site. Name the pit and the foreman who holds the gate key, and we arrange the visit with them.
