A town where three of every four jobs are in manufacturing
Manufacturing filled 950 of Huguley’s 1,247 jobs in 2023, a 76.2 percent slice that the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) record for the town. Tractors that shuttle between plant docks and box trucks that run parts locally are the kinds of trucks that work like that keeps on the road around town. If yours did plant runs, tell us which shifts or lanes it covered so we know how it was used.
A truck that spent its days at a plant may still be parked in an employee or contractor lot. Give us the lot’s address and the name of whoever controls the gate, and we will plan the collection around their hours rather than asking you to move the truck first.
Quarry and terminal
Stone from Shady Grove, propane out of Opelika
Shady Grove Quarry, an industrial-mineral mine on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 10.6 miles south of Huguley. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul from a quarry face often sit on site between jobs, so if yours is parked there, tell us whether a visitor needs an escort or a safety briefing to reach it.
To the south-west, the Energy Information Administration records the OPELIKA PROPANE TERMINAL, a petroleum product terminal 19.9 miles out. If your truck is a propane bobtail or a tractor that pulled tank trailers from that terminal, keep its tank inspection papers and hazmat records together with the title; they tell us what the truck carried without guesswork.
Replacing a Huguley title at the Lafayette counter
In Alabama, title applications go through the Alabama Department of Revenue, which handles them via its County License Plate Issuing Officials. For Huguley owners that office is Chambers County, at 2 Lafayette St., Lafayette, 36862, a drive of 10.2 miles according to the Alabama Department of Revenue’s office list.
If the title is missing or still shows a lienholder, start the replacement or the lien release at that Lafayette counter before we schedule anything. Bring the VIN, your registration and a photo ID; with the paper in hand, the rest of the sale moves on your schedule rather than the office’s.
Model years on Huguley tractors stopped by FMCSA
FMCSA roadside inspection records put 36 Huguley-area trucks through a check between August 2024 and August 2026, and their median model year came out at 2015.5. FMCSA’s inspection records also show 52.8 percent of those trucks at ten or more model years old.
Whatever the year of yours, the details we ask for are the same: the VIN, the odometer reading, the engine make and photos of the cab, frame and tires. Service records and inspection reports help too, so pull them from the glovebox or the shop file before you contact us.
Farms and job sites
Huguley’s neighbors raise cattle, dairy herds and horses
Around Huguley and the rest of Chambers County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 355 farms, with cattle, milk and equine at the top of the list. Livestock haulers, milk tankers and flatbeds that move hay and horse trailers are the trucks that farm work like this puts in barns and pastures.
Fifteen construction establishments operate in the county, according to the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, which means dump trucks and equipment haulers parked on job sites as well as in yards. If your truck sits in a field or behind a barn, send a photo of the approach so we can see whether a trailer can reach it.
