Amrize kilns and MLC stone
Cement and quarry work around Theodore
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Amrize Theodore Plant, a cement plant 1.9 miles north-east of town. Bulk pneumatic tractors and mixer-related trucks that loaded at a plant this close are often still parked on a yard in Theodore itself, so give us that yard’s street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Further out, MLC - Mobile is a crushed-stone quarry 10.9 miles north-east, on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor hauled aggregate from that pit, photograph the bed, the frame rails and the VIN plate, and have the Alabama title in the registered owner’s name before we schedule a collection.
Theodore tank gates
Tank terminals on the Theodore waterfront
East of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Martin Midstream Partners liquid bulk terminal 4.7 miles away, and the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named THEODORE at 4.8 miles. Tank tractors that loaded at either gate usually carry hazmat placards and tank inspection stickers; keep the most recent inspection paperwork with the truck when you contact us.
Blakeley Island, 6.8 miles north according to the Energy Information Administration, holds another petroleum product terminal. If the tractor sold with a tank trailer still attached, tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale and where each unit is parked, since a tractor and its trailer can sit on different lots.
Drayage between ICTF and the Mobile wharves
The port of Mobile lies 10.3 miles north-east of Theodore on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, and that agency also lists two rail intermodal ramps nearby: the Intermodal Container Transfer Facility at 11.5 miles and a Container Terminal ramp at 12.6 miles. Day cabs that dray boxes between those ramps and the docks are trucks we purchase; send the VIN and the odometer reading first.
A drayage tractor leased onto someone else’s operating authority still needs a clean title in your name to sell. If a lender is listed on it, have the lien release or the lender’s contact details ready, and the state’s title agency is the office to ask about a replacement.
Fleets registered along the Theodore bayfront
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 248 active carriers based in Theodore, split evenly with 124 interstate and 124 intrastate, and 139 of them run private fleets. That mix means a truck for sale here may be a company-owned unit; whoever signs the title has to be the business named on it, so bring proof you can sign for that company.
General freight is the cargo listed by 126 Theodore carriers in the FMCSA census, with machinery and large objects at 59, metal sheets, coils and rolls at 33 and motor vehicles at 26. Flatbed tractors, step-deck setups and car haulers all fit that list; tell us the trailer type the truck usually pulls when you write in.
Theodore’s top three fleets field 95, 90 and 88 power units apiece in FMCSA’s carrier census. Owners selling several units at once can send one list of VINs and locations, and we will plan collection around every yard on it.
Theodore driver rings and odometers
Bayou runs versus out-of-state lanes
FMCSA’s census splits Theodore’s drivers into 617 who stay inside a 100-mile ring and 546 who go past it. A truck on a regional route may be home every night, while a long-haul sleeper might be parked at a terminal out of state; tell us exactly where it sits today.
Across 77 local carriers that report mileage, the FMCSA census puts the median at 17,500 miles per truck a year. Have the odometer reading, the registration card and any service records together before you call, as those answer most of our questions in one go.
New registrations keep arriving: FMCSA’s census shows 12 new carriers here in 2025 and 8 in 2024. A newer operator selling a first truck needs the same things as anyone else, which is the title, a photo ID and a set of clear photos.
LEHD and USDA figures
Theodore job sites and Mobile County cattle and cotton
Census Bureau LEHD job counts for 2023 show 912 jobs in Theodore, with construction at 186, wholesale trade at 117 and manufacturing at 104. Contractors with a dump truck or a flatbed tied up on job sites can have it collected from the site itself once the gate contact is arranged.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 657 farms across Mobile County, with cattle, cotton and potted flowering plants at the top. Livestock haulers, cotton module trucks and nursery box trucks parked on farm property can be picked up there; send us the farm road address and a note on how to reach the barn or shed.
The questions we get asked in Theodore
- My tank tractor sits by the Theodore petroleum terminal; does it have to come off that lot first?The Energy Information Administration lists the THEODORE petroleum product terminal 4.8 miles east of town, and a truck parked there or on a nearby lot can stay put.

- Will you take a bulk tractor that loaded at the Amrize Theodore cement plant?The Amrize Theodore Plant sits 1.9 miles north-east of Theodore on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and bulk tractors that served it are on our list. Send photos, the VIN and the Alabama title details.
- Our Theodore private fleet holds the title; which person puts a signature on the transfer?FMCSA’s census shows 139 of Theodore’s 248 active carriers running private fleets, so company titles are common here. An officer of the named business signs, and we ask for proof they can sign for it.
