Selling a truck in Phenix City? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Sand, gravel and clay pits south-east of Phenix City

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Phenix City Plant II, a sand and gravel operation 2.6 miles south-east, and Phenix City Mine, another sand and gravel site 3.5 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or tri-axle that loads at either pit is often parked close by on a weekday, so give us the pit name and the gate contact and we plan the collection there rather than in town.

Boral Clay Pits, an industrial-mineral mine listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration at 4.3 miles south of the city, is a short run from the gravel sites. If your truck hauls clay or aggregate between these yards, photograph the body, the tailgate and the cab, and have the title in the name printed on the registration before we arrive.

Farther out, Shady Grove Quarry sits 22.2 miles north-west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine list. A truck working that quarry may never come back to Phenix City between shifts; tell us which side of the county it is parked on and we go to it.

Mahrt yard and the Opelika propane terminal

Mahrt, a rail yard 19.6 miles south on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is the nearest listed rail point to town. Tractors that shuttle loads to and from that yard are welcome; send the VIN and a photo of the door sticker with your first message.

West of the city, the Energy Information Administration lists the Opelika Propane Terminal at 21.5 miles. If you run a propane bobtail or a tractor that pulls a tank trailer from that terminal, keep the registration and any service records together so the sale paperwork lines up with the unit we collect.

Log, lowboy and car-hauler outfits in Phenix City

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 377 active carriers based in Phenix City, with 200 of them hauling general freight, 93 moving machinery and large objects, 81 carrying logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 63 moving motor vehicles. Log trucks, lowboys, car haulers and dry-van tractors all fit what we buy here.

Of those carriers, 199 run interstate and 178 stay intrastate, while 203 are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. A private fleet selling one unit should have the title in the company’s name and a signer with authority to transfer it.

The FMCSA census shows 418 drivers operating within a 100-mile radius and 355 operating beyond it, and among 103 carriers reporting mileage the median truck covered 23,234 miles. Tell us the odometer reading and where the truck sits between runs, since a long-haul unit may be parked away from Russell County.

The three largest fleets in town, per FMCSA’s census, run 25, 18 and 12 power units. A small fleet selling several trucks at once can send us one list of VINs and we arrange each collection from it.

How old the trucks are that roll out of Phenix City yards

Phenix City trucks pulled in for 196 roadside checks from August 2024 to August 2026 had a median model year of 2017, going by FMCSA roadside inspection records. Have the model year, engine and transmission ready when you contact us, along with the VIN.

In that same set of FMCSA roadside inspection records, 41.8 percent of the Phenix City units checked carried a model year ten or more years back. Whatever the year of your truck, the inspection reports you kept from those stops belong in the same message as your photos.

Plant jobs, Russell County builders and cattle farms

Manufacturing holds 1,415 of the 10,054 Phenix City jobs in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, beside 452 in construction, 289 in transportation and warehousing and 196 in wholesale trade. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors serving plants and warehouses here can be collected from the plant lot if the owner gives us access.

Phenix City has 103 builders and contractors on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns construction list. Contractors selling a dump truck, flatbed or water truck should tell us which job site it is on and who can hand over the keys.

Russell County holds 266 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, corn and equine operations. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm tractors used on those places can be picked up at the farm gate; have the title and registration in the farm owner’s name.

Load-posted spans between the truck and the highway

Of the 56 Phenix City bridges in the Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory, 4 carry a posted load limit and not one clears less than 14 feet. Tell us the street address of the truck and whether a loaded rollback or tow can reach it.

With 4 load-posted spans in town on the National Bridge Inventory, a heavy unit parked on a back road may need a different route out; mention any weight signs near where it sits so we plan the right equipment.
