LANDMARK Plant and Alabaster Mill quarries
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two crushed-stone quarries, LANDMARK PLANT and Alabaster Mill, each 4.1 miles south-east of Meadowbrook. A tri-axle or quad dump that loads aggregate at either one is a truck we buy, and so is a tractor with an end-dump trailer on that run.
If your dump truck sits in a quarry lot between shifts, tell us which of the two pits it is at and who holds the key to the gate. We arrange collection with whoever runs that yard. The truck can stay in the pit lot rather than coming back to Meadowbrook.
Have the title and the current registration in hand, along with photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab. Photograph anything the quarry required as well, such as an MSHA site sticker or a driver log for the pit.
Petroleum terminals toward Birmingham
North-west of town, 10.3 miles away, the Energy Information Administration places a petroleum product terminal it calls BIRMINGHAM, and a second listing, BIRMINGHAM 481, sits 10.6 miles to the west. A fuel tanker or a tractor that loads at those racks fits what we purchase.
Blendstar, a liquid bulk terminal, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 12.1 miles north-west of Meadowbrook. If your tractor has pulled tank trailers between Blendstar and the two EIA terminals, send the VIN, the tank’s inspection paperwork if you have it, and a note of which racks it loaded at.
A tanker parked inside a terminal fence can be collected there. Give us the terminal name and a contact at the gate, and we work the pickup out with them directly.
Day cabs near the Norris and East Thomas rail yards
Norris, a rail yard 11.2 miles north of Meadowbrook, and East Thomas, 12.2 miles north-west, are both mapped in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle loads to and from rail yards are on our list.
If your day cab or chassis truck has worked the Norris or East Thomas side of Birmingham, photograph the odometer, the fifth wheel and the VIN plate. Those three pictures let us ask the right follow-up questions about your truck.
Wholesale trade in Meadowbrook
Of the 1,768 jobs located in Meadowbrook in 2023, 125 were in wholesale trade, a 7.1% share, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Wholesale distribution keeps box trucks, reefers and straight trucks on the road, and every one of those is a truck we will look at.
A box truck or straight truck parked at a warehouse dock can stay right where it is. Tell us the business address and whether the truck is blocked in, and bring the title, keys and registration to the collection.
Farm trucks off Shelby County cotton and cattle land
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 385 farms in Shelby County, with cotton, cattle and equine listed as the leading products. Cattle haulers, tractors pulling livestock trailers, grain or cotton module trucks and flatbeds from those operations all fit what we buy.
A farm truck parked in a barn lot or pasture can be collected on the farm. Give us directions past the last paved road, and if the truck carries farm plates, have the title ready so the registration question is settled before we arrive.
