Stagefields and sand pits a few miles out
Toth Stagefield lies 8.4 miles north of Slocomb and Highbluff Stagefield 8.6 miles west, both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as military installations. Parked on a farm road between those two fields? We collect from that yard or barn, and the truck stays put until the tow rig arrives.
Core Aggregates, a sand and gravel operation 9.8 miles north-west, and the Bellwood Sand Plant 12 miles west both appear in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. A dump truck or tractor that has hauled from either pit is the kind of equipment we buy; send a photo of the bed, the cab and the data plate, and note which pit it worked.
Barrett and Dothan rail yards on the north-east road
Head north-east out of Slocomb and the Barrett yard comes up at 11 miles, with the Dothan yard at 14.9, on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that shuttle grain or lumber to a railhead along that corridor can stay where they are; give us the address and say whether a tow rig can reach it.
A tractor that has been dropping trailers at Barrett or Dothan often has load tickets or bills of lading in the cab. Keep a few with the title; they let us confirm the VIN and the hauling history without a long phone call.
Sixty-six registered motor carriers around Slocomb
Sixty-six active carriers list Slocomb as home in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 30 of them haul general freight, 17 carry grain, feed and hay, 16 move logs, poles and lumber, and 14 haul farm supplies. Whether yours is a log truck, a hopper tractor or a flatbed, tell us the cargo type when you first get in touch so the questions that follow fit the truck.
That same FMCSA census splits Slocomb’s carriers into 31 interstate and 35 intrastate operators, with 34 operating private fleets for their own goods. The biggest outfit in town fields six power units, so most sellers here are owner-operators or small farm haulers; one person with the title in hand can complete the sale.
Slocomb added five carriers in 2025 after three in 2024, FMCSA’s carrier census shows. If you bought a truck to start one of those operations and are now winding down, have the registration and your USDOT number ready along with the title.
Slocomb-based trucks stopped at roadside between September 2024 and August 2026 numbered 26 in FMCSA roadside inspection records, their median model year was 2015, and a little over half, 54 percent, were ten or more years old. Whatever year your truck is, we want the year, make, model and VIN up front, read straight from the door jamb or the title.
Nineteen local carriers reported a median of 50,000 miles per truck a year to FMCSA’s carrier census. An odometer photo and any service records you keep help us match the truck to its history before the pickup is set.
Cotton, cattle and corn around the town
Around Slocomb, farm work is the backdrop: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 681 farms in Geneva County, with cotton, cattle and corn the leading products. Module trucks, cattle haulers and grain trailers often sit at a farm between seasons, and we pick up from the farm itself.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) record 695 jobs in Slocomb for 2023, and County Business Patterns lists 13 construction establishments in the area. A contractor’s dump truck or a farm’s spare tractor is equally welcome; photos from all four sides plus the cab interior are enough to begin.

The Dothan plate office for a lost title
