Farm supply and grain haulers around Moulton
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 155 active carriers based in Moulton, and 54 of them list farm supplies as cargo while 53 list grain, feed and hay. If your truck is one of those Lawrence County farm haulers, a hopper or a flatbed that moved seed and feed between barns, tell us which trailer it pulled and send photos of the tractor parked at the farm where it sits.
General freight shows up on 52 Moulton carrier filings and machinery or large objects on 38, according to the same FMCSA census. A lowboy rig or a step deck that carried equipment around the county is the kind of tractor we collect from a gravel yard or a shed, so give us the street address and say whether a gate needs unlocking.
Of those 155 carriers, FMCSA records 104 as private fleets, 139 as intrastate and 16 as interstate operators. Most Moulton trucks therefore carry an Alabama-only authority, so have the cab card and the USDOT number on hand when you write to us; they let us match the registration to the title without a second round of questions.
Whatever year your tractor is, read the VIN plate off the door jamb and send it with the odometer figure, since those two items open every sale we handle.
The 19 Moulton carriers that report annual mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census show a median of 39,941 miles per truck. Keep the service records and oil-change receipts in the glovebox or a folder near the cab, so the history of those miles is with the truck when our driver arrives.
FMCSA’s census lists 204 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 116 who go beyond that radius. If your truck spent its years on short local runs or on long hauls out of state, either way we pick it up where it is parked in or near Moulton.
Quarries west of town and rail yards to the east
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists SRM Mt Hope Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 13.9 miles west of Moulton, and South Russellville Quarry, another crushed-stone site 15.6 miles west. A dump truck or a tri-axle that ran aggregate out of those pits can stay where it is parked; send us the location and a contact at the quarry gate.
Pit #1, a dimension-stone quarry, sits 22.6 miles south-east of town according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Trucks that hauled cut stone usually spend their days on site, so photos of the frame, the bed and the tires taken there tell us what we need before collection.
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Mallard rail yard lies 17.1 miles north-east of Moulton and the Oakworth yard 18.3 miles east. If your day cab drayed loads to or from either yard, tell us which one, and whether the truck is parked near the tracks or back home in Lawrence County.
Hunt Refining and liquid bulk near Moulton
Hunt Refining, a liquid bulk terminal, is 19.1 miles north-east of Moulton in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing. If your tractor pulled tankers from that terminal, include the registration and any tank inspection certificates you kept.
A tank trailer sold with its tractor needs its own title or registration, separate from the power unit. Put both documents together before you contact us, and if one is missing, the state’s title agency issues a replacement for an Alabama-titled unit.
Bridges, farms and jobs in the county
Of 47 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory around Moulton, 12 carry posted load limits and none has clearance under 14 feet. With the pickup address, name the county road the truck sits on and whether a posted bridge is on the way in.
A grain truck that sits idle between harvests in a machine shed is one we can collect from the farm itself; just tell us the farm road and when someone is around.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,533 jobs in Moulton in 2023, 64 of them, or 2.5 percent, in wholesale trade, while County Business Patterns records 15 construction establishments. If your truck worked for a local builder or a wholesale supplier, ask the business owner to sign the title if it is in the company’s name.
Whether your operation is new or long established, the title is the document that transfers the truck, so find it first and check that the name on it matches yours or your company’s.
A lost title is replaced through the state’s title agency, and the application asks for the VIN, so copy it from the truck before you start. Bring the registration, the inspection reports you have and a few clear photos of the cab, the frame and the dash, and a Moulton sale can go ahead from there.
