Quarries north, west and east of Springville
Mine Safety and Health Administration records place the Ashville Rock Quarry 12.7 miles north-east of Springville and a crushed-stone site listed as Mine #1 13.2 miles to the west. If your dump truck or tractor hauled stone out of either one, note which quarry and roughly which years when you first contact us, and send photos of the bed, the frame and the cab.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists two industrial-mineral sites: the Jordan Plant, 13.5 miles south, and the Ashville quarry at Hwy 26 and Hwy 33, 15.6 miles east. A truck still parked at a mine gate can stay there; give us the site name and a person who can let us onto the property for collection.
North of town, the Gargus Borrow Pit is a sand and gravel operation 15.5 miles out according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Owners who worked fill and gravel loads from that pit should have the title in hand and the VIN written down before the first call, since both questions come up straight away.
The Leeds Plant and the cement plant to the east
The Leeds Plant, a cement plant 14.3 miles south of Springville, is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and the same agency lists the National Cement Company plant 18.9 miles east. Bulk tankers and mixer trucks that served either plant are on the list of what we buy, so tell us the body type along with the chassis make and model.
If you kept loading tickets, scale records or service logs from cement work at Leeds, put them with the title. They let us read the truck’s working history alongside your photos, and if you have none, a plain description of the routes it covered does the same job.
Springville trucks that worked the Norris yard
Norris, a rail yard 17.2 miles to the south-west of Springville, appears on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain.
Give us the street address of the truck and a note on whether a tow rig can reach it without moving other equipment first. That one detail shapes how the pickup gets planned for a yard near the rail line.
Thirty-four Springville carriers moving machinery, fifteen moving coil
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 84 active carriers based in Springville, 64 of them intrastate and 20 interstate, with 40 of them private fleets. In that FMCSA census, general freight is listed by 37 of them, machinery and large objects by 34, and metal sheets, coils and rolls by 15, alongside 15 that haul motor vehicles.
A flatbed or lowboy that moved machinery or steel coil for one of those operators is the kind of truck we collect here; send the trailer details if it goes with the tractor. The three biggest fleets in that same federal census field 8, 8 and 7 power units, so if you are selling more than one truck from a small fleet, list each VIN together and we will handle them as one collection.
New registrations stay modest by the same FMCSA census, with 3 new carriers in 2024 and 4 in 2025. If you are one of them and closing out, the title and your USDOT number are the two things to have on the table.
A 2008 median on the trucks stopped near Springville
FMCSA roadside inspection records for Springville cover 43 trucks checked from October 2024 to August 2026; the median model year among them is 2008, and 72 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the year on your title, send the VIN and a current odometer photo, and we will work from those.
For the 16 Springville carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median works out to 25,833 miles per truck, and the census lists 99 drivers working within 100 miles against 70 who go farther. Short-haul or long-haul, a dash photo showing the mileage saves a question later.
Factory jobs, building firms and cattle farms around Springville
Of the 1,397 jobs located in Springville in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 222 in manufacturing and 71 in construction. A work truck from either line can be photographed where it stands; four sides, the cab interior and the data plate are what we ask for.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns put 31 construction establishments around Springville. Contractors winding down a dump truck, a flatbed or a tractor from a building crew can send all the VINs at once and have them collected from the job yard.
St. Clair County had 585 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and deer the top listings. Livestock haulers and farm trucks parked out on county roads are collected where they stand; a gate code or a phone number for whoever is on site is enough.
Fifteen Springville bridges, none posted
The National Bridge Inventory lists 15 bridges in and around Springville, none of them load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. A tall cab or a loaded lowboy can be reached on local roads, so the main thing we need from you is the exact spot the truck is parked.
For a truck parked on private land down a gravel lane, describe the turn-in from the road and where the truck sits. The Federal Highway Administration’s bridge figures cover the public roads; the last few hundred yards are yours to describe.
The questions we get asked in Springville
- Is a 2008 model year tractor from Springville one you would buy?Local trucks checked in FMCSA roadside inspection records have a median model year of 2008, and we buy across that range. Photograph all four sides of the truck and send those with the VIN and a copy of the title.
- My flatbed tractor hauled coil and sheet steel around Springville for years. Does that fit what you collect?Of Springville’s carriers, 15 list metal sheets, coils and rolls in FMCSA’s carrier census, and tractors and flatbeds from that work are ones we collect. Let us know if the flatbed trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind.
