Poles and saw logs
Log haulers and lumber loads around Monroeville
Of the 143 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census lists in Monroeville, 72 say they move logs, poles, beams or lumber. If yours is a log truck or a tractor that has pulled a pole trailer out of Monroe County woods, tell us the trailer type and whether it goes with the sale, since a knuckleboom or a pole setup changes what we bring to collect it.
Those timber haulers share the town’s register with 65 general freight carriers and 38 that list machinery and large objects, again per the FMCSA census. A lowboy tractor, a day cab with a logging bunk and a flatbed straight truck all sell the same way here: send the VIN, a photo of the door tag and pictures of each side, and keep the title within reach.
Sand, gravel and mineral pits west of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Andress Pit, an industrial-mineral mine, 2.2 miles west of Monroeville, with Prevo Sand another 5.8 miles out the same direction. A dump truck working either site can usually be photographed right where it parks between loads; tell us the pit name and who can let us onto the property.
Farther west, Perdue Hill Pit sits 8.4 miles from town and Dawson Pit 9.2 miles to the south, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Leave a tandem or tri-axle dump at whichever of those gates it sits behind, and send us the site name plus a contact for collection there.
Intrastate authority, private fleets and drivers who stay close
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 117 intrastate carriers in Monroeville against 26 that cross state lines, and 55 of the total run private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that has only ever worked Alabama roads still needs its Alabama title and current registration at hand when you sell, so find both before you call.
Drivers here mostly stay close: the same FMCSA census records 247 drivers working within 100 miles and 129 who go beyond that radius. Half the trucks reported by 21 carriers here log under 30,000 miles annually, and half log more, going by the mileage those carriers filed with FMCSA. Have the odometer reading ready when you write to us, alongside any service log the shop kept.
Median model year and the ten-year share at the roadside
Between September 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 77 Monroeville-based trucks, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give 2019 as their median model year. The same FMCSA inspection records show 41.56% of those trucks were ten or more model years old. Whichever year yours is, list it with the make, model and engine so we know which truck we are looking at.
The largest fleet based here runs 49 power units and 37 drivers in FMCSA’s census, and the next two run 15 and 13 power units. If you are selling several units from a fleet that size, send a list with each VIN and where each truck is parked, and we can plan the collections around one visit.
Gins, grain and warehouses
Cotton, corn and the wholesale trade
Monroe County’s 436 farms grow cotton first, then corn and wheat, in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and module haulers that spend the season on those farms are often parked in a shed or field lot at the end of it, so describe the access road and whether a tow rig can reach the truck.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 3,175 jobs in Monroeville in 2023, and wholesale trade holds 478 of them, a 15.1% share. Construction carries 118 jobs on the same LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns lists 11 construction establishments in the area. A box truck from a distribution yard or a dump from a contractor’s lot is collected from wherever it sits once you send the address.
New and nearby
Recently registered carriers and NOLF Evergreen
Newly registered outfits keep appearing in town: FMCSA’s carrier census logged four Monroeville starts in 2024, then seven during 2025. If your operating authority is new and the truck carries a lien, have the lender’s name and the payoff letter on hand, since the title has to be released before the sale closes.
East of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places NOLF Evergreen, a military installation, 18.2 miles away. If your truck is parked out toward Evergreen rather than in Monroeville itself, the sale works the same; send us the location and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
