Mines a short haul from Maplesville
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Reynolds Mine, an industrial-mineral mine, 5.1 miles south-west of Maplesville and the Wilco Plant 12.9 miles to the south-east. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs between those gates and town can stay parked at the yard or the pit entrance when we collect it; send the street address or the gate name so the driver knows which road to take.
East of town, Smith Mine and the White City Plant appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as sand and gravel operations, 16.9 and 18.7 miles out. Owners of aggregate trucks from that side should photograph the bed, the tailgate and the cab, then list the axle setup in the message; with those in hand we pick the right trailer or loader to bring.
Stone and rail along the northern road
Brierfield Quarry, a crushed-stone quarry, sits 18.2 miles north according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, with a second Brierfield crushed-stone site at 18.7 miles. A rock truck kept near either one can be picked up on site; tell us whether a gate code or an escort is needed to reach it.
Further up, the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Roberta rail yard 22 miles north and the Calera yard at 24 miles. Day cabs that shuttle loads to those yards are welcome here; send a VIN plus a clear photo of the door sticker with your first message.
Fifty-four lumber haulers
Maplesville carriers loading poles and beams
Of the 90 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Maplesville, 54 list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo, ahead of 31 hauling general freight. If your rig is a log truck with a knuckle boom or a pole trailer, mention the trailer and loader in the first message so we can plan to take the whole unit together.
Machinery and large objects show up on 26 of those carrier records, and farm supplies on 20, per the same FMCSA census. Lowboys and equipment haulers from these outfits often sit at a shop or a farm lot rather than in town, so give us the road name and whether a tractor-trailer can turn around there.
Eighty-two in-state outfits
Short routes and private fleets around town
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 82 Maplesville carriers as intrastate against 8 running interstate, and 40 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that never left Alabama still needs its title and current registration in hand; collect those before you contact us and the sale moves on the paperwork alone.
Drivers based here report 181 working within 100 miles of home and 46 beyond it in the FMCSA census, and the 15 carriers that gave annual mileage show a median of 30,000 miles per truck. Write the Maplesville truck’s current odometer figure next to its VIN on a slip of paper before you reach out to us.
Inspection lane, 2024-2026
Maplesville’s fleet midpoint is model year 2014, drawn from FMCSA roadside inspection records covering 79 local trucks stopped from September 2024 through August 2026, and 60.8 percent of those trucks carry a model year a decade or more back. Any model year is fine with us; what helps is the year, make and engine written down before we talk.
Those same inspection reports, if you kept copies, belong in the folder with the title. Service invoices, DOT inspection stickers and any emissions paperwork let us match the truck to its history without extra calls.
Alabama titles are handled by the Alabama Department of Revenue, which works through County License Plate Issuing Officials; for Maplesville owners the Alabama Department of Revenue lists the Chilton County office at 407 2nd Ave. N., Clanton, 35045, which the Alabama Department of Revenue listing puts 15.1 miles away. Visit that counter for a replacement before you sell if the original title is missing.
If a bank or lender still shows on the title, bring the lien release to the Clanton office as well, so the new document arrives clean. Once it is in your name with no lienholder, send us a photo of both sides along with the registration.
Manufacturing, cattle and honey
Plants, farms and freight jobs in Maplesville
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 546 jobs in Maplesville, with manufacturing holding 201 of them, 36.8 percent, and transportation and warehousing 82. Plant service trucks and box trucks from that work are part of what we collect, and a fleet manager can list several units in one message.
Across Chilton County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 524 farms, led by cattle, equine and honey operations. Cattle haulers, stock trailers and flatbeds kept on a farm can be loaded where they stand, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 4 construction establishments locally whose dump and utility trucks we take as well.
