Ramp and yards north of Triana
The Huntsville intermodal ramp and rail yards
Just 3.8 miles north of Triana sits the Huntsville rail intermodal ramp, as the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records it. A day cab or sleeper that has pulled containers on and off that ramp is a truck we buy, and it can stay parked wherever it sits between loads while we arrange collection.
HUNTSVILLE INTERMODAL appears in the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, as a rail yard 4.1 miles north. If your tractor is in a lot near that yard rather than at your house in Triana, send us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Further out, the same North American Rail Network shows the OAKWORTH yard 13.4 miles west. A tractor based on that side of the county needs nothing more from you than the VIN, the title and a set of photos showing the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel.
Quarry trucks east and north-west
Hauling stone out of Laceys Springs and Project Crossroads
East of Triana by 8 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Laceys Springs Quarry as a crushed-stone site. Tandem and tri-axle dump trucks that haul out of a quarry like that are on our list; photograph the bed and the hoist along with the cab so we can see the whole unit.
Nine miles to the north-west is Project Crossroads, another crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your dump truck is kept at a quarry yard instead of in Triana, tell us whose property it is on, and we will set the pickup with them directly.
Keep any service records for a stone truck with the title. A short list of what has been replaced and when gives us the history before we ask a single question about it.
Liquid bulk to the west
Tank trailer tractors on the Hunt Refining run
Hunt Refining shows up in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings as a liquid bulk terminal 13.8 miles west of Triana. Tractors that pull tank trailers to and from a terminal of that kind fit what we purchase, with or without the trailer.
When you contact us about a tanker tractor, say whether the trailer is part of the sale and where each one is parked. Send any site inspection reports you kept from terminal work along with the photos.
Triana transport jobs
Who works in transportation here
Of the 344 jobs located in Triana in 2023, 80 were in transportation and warehousing, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, a 23.3 percent share. Owner-drivers among them sell to us directly, with the title signed over at pickup.
A transportation and warehousing worker who has left the trade but kept a tractor can sell it from anywhere; the truck stays put in Triana and we come out to it. Leave us a contact who can open the yard or driveway on the day.
Grain and cotton haulers across Madison County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 928 farms in Madison County, with corn, cotton and soybeans its top crops. Grain trucks, cotton module haulers and the tractors that pull hopper trailers off those fields are trucks we buy.
A farm truck often sits in a barn or at the edge of a field rather than on a paved lot. Give us the farm address and directions to where the truck is parked, and photograph it where it stands.
A truck kept on a Madison County farm is sold on a title in the seller’s own name, farm plates or not. If that title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues the replacement; start that request before you contact us.
Redstone Arsenal, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists as a military installation 6.1 miles north-east, is close by, so if your truck is parked on or near a controlled site, tell us early and arrange for it to be brought out to a public spot for the pickup.
Before the call, gather the title, the current registration and the VIN, and take photos in daylight of all four sides, the cab interior and the odometer. With those in hand we can go straight to arranging collection from wherever the truck sits around Triana.
