Two quarries southwest of Meridianville
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Huntsville North Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 7.1 miles southwest of Meridianville, and North Huntsville Quarry & Mill 7.5 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls aggregate from either pit is the kind of truck we collect here. If yours is parked at a quarry yard rather than at your house, tell us which one and who can let us through the gate.
Quarry trucks often carry a body, a hoist and a tarp system added after the chassis left the factory. Write down the body maker and length, and photograph the bed raised and lowered along with the cab and the frame rails. Those pictures, plus the VIN, let us answer you about the whole unit rather than only the tractor.
General freight, machinery and produce haulers north of Huntsville
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 51 active carriers based in Meridianville; 29 of them list general freight, nine haul machinery and large objects, five carry farm supplies and four move fresh produce. Whichever of those your truck did, the papers we ask for are the same: the title in your name or your company’s, the current registration and any service records you kept.
Of those 51 carriers, 33 operate intrastate only and 18 cross state lines, according to FMCSA, and 21 are private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your company truck carried its own equipment or materials, the title may be held in the business name, so have whoever signs for the business ready to sign the transfer.
The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s census here run 10, 6 and 4 power units, so most trucks in town belong to small outfits and owner-operators. Selling one tractor out of a small fleet works the same as selling a single truck: one title, one VIN, one set of photos.
New authorities and miles per truck
FMCSA’s carrier census shows Meridianville adding eight carriers in 2025 after three joined in 2024. If you opened your authority recently and are now selling the truck you started with, keep your USDOT number handy, since it helps us match the truck to the registration on file.
Seven Meridianville carriers file mileage with FMCSA, and their median truck covers 22,500 miles over a year. Read the odometer before you call and include a photo of the dash with the cluster lit, so the figure you give us and the picture agree.
Payrolls in Meridianville: builders and plants
Of 1,222 jobs counted in Meridianville for 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, 93 were in manufacturing and 80 in construction. If your flatbed or dump truck sits on a job site, give us the address and the name of the site contact.
Meridianville holds 14 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, each a possible owner of a dump truck or flatbed. If one of those firms is selling, bring the company’s title, the registration and the name of the person authorised to sign, so the transfer closes in one visit.
Corn, cotton and soybeans in Madison County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 928 farms across Madison County, with corn, cotton and soybeans as the leading crops. Grain trucks and farm tractors that haul between fields and elevators are welcome; a farm-plated truck still needs its title, so look for it before harvest paperwork buries it.
Between seasons, a grain truck in Madison County often waits in a barn or beside a field, and we can collect it there; send a photo of the lane leading in and of where the truck stands so the pickup can be planned.
Rail ramps toward Huntsville and the Arsenal gates
The North American Rail Network shows the Huntsville Intermodal yard 18.8 miles southwest of Meridianville, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Huntsville rail intermodal ramp 19.1 miles out. A day cab or sleeper that has pulled containers from those ramps can stay where it is parked; we travel to it.
Redstone Arsenal, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 17.3 miles south, has gate controls a civilian tow cannot pass without clearance. If your truck is on post, move it to an outside lot first, or tell us so the visit can be arranged through the proper office.
The questions we get asked in Meridianville
- My dump truck is sitting at a quarry yard southwest of Meridianville. Can it be collected at the quarry itself?Huntsville North Quarry sits 7.1 miles southwest on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and North Huntsville Quarry & Mill 7.5 miles out; we can pick up at either, once you name the yard and a contact who can open the gate.
- The truck belonged to a Meridianville private fleet that hauled its own goods. Who in the company signs it over to you?Twenty-one of Meridianville’s 51 carriers on FMCSA’s census are private fleets, so this is common here; bring the title in the company’s name and the person who signs for the business.
- I grow cotton and soybeans near Meridianville. Will you buy the grain truck off my farm?Madison County’s 928 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture grow mostly corn, cotton and soybeans, and the trucks that haul those crops are ones we collect; have the title and registration ready.
