Holtville-area mine sites
Aggregate hauled from three Elmore-area mine sites
Scott Pit, a sand and gravel operation 3.8 miles south of Holtville, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine register. A tandem or tri-axle dump that hauls from a pit that close may well be sitting near town when you decide to sell, and we collect it from wherever it is parked. Send us the pit or yard address along with the VIN so the pickup can be planned around the gate.
Eight miles to the north-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a crushed-stone quarry, and Red Eagle, another sand and gravel operation, lies 12.5 miles to the south-east. Trucks that move aggregate between these sites tend to be dump bodies and end-dump trailers with their tractors. Send photos of the body, the hoist and the frame along with the cab, so we see the whole unit before collection in Elmore County.
Tankers and yard tractors
The Montgomery terminal and rail yards to the south
According to the Energy Information Administration, a petroleum product terminal named Montgomery stands 15.7 miles south of Holtville. Tractors that pull fuel tank trailers out of a terminal like that are among the trucks we buy, and so are the tankers themselves. Keep the tank’s inspection paperwork with the title; it tells us what the trailer carried and when it was last checked.
Two rail yards, Chester at 15.7 miles and S&N at 15.8 miles, both due south of Holtville, are mapped in the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration keeps with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your day cab shuttles loads to and from those yards, it can stay at the yard or at your shop when you sell. Tell us who controls the lot so access is arranged before collection.
Maxwell-Gunter
Air Force and Guard installations to the south
Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base lies 16.9 miles south of Holtville on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list of military installations, and NG Montgomery JFHQ AFRC / CSMS 01 sits 16 miles south. Owners who have been posted to either and now need to sell a work truck before a move can leave it parked where it is. Give us the address and a phone number for whoever can let us in.
Moving away does not mean taking the truck with you. A seller who has already left the Montgomery area can sign the title and arrange the pickup from another state, as long as someone near Holtville can point us to the truck on collection day.
Elmore County cotton farms
Cotton, corn and cattle hauling
Elmore County holds 478 farms, and cotton, corn and cattle head their output in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. That mix keeps grain trucks, cattle haulers and flatbeds that move module cotton and hay on the county’s back roads. A farm truck that sits in a barn between seasons is still one we will look at; send photos from wherever it is stored.
Farm trucks often change hands inside a family without the title catching up. If the name on the title is a parent’s or a former partner’s, tell us at the start, and check with the Alabama title office in Elmore County about a replacement or transfer before the sale.
Holtville builders and their dump beds
Of the 588 jobs sited in Holtville in 2023, construction accounts for 51, or 8.7 percent, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Contractors working out of town run pickups with dump beds, small flatbeds and single-axle dumps alongside the heavier aggregate trucks. Every one of those is a commercial vehicle we can take off your hands.
For a contractor’s truck, the useful papers are the title, the current registration and any service records you kept. If the truck is titled to your business, have whoever can sign for the company available on the day we collect.
