Cement, propane and the road to the Tombigbee side
Nineteen and a half miles west of Uniontown, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Demopolis Plant as a cement plant. A tractor that has pulled pneumatic or bulk trailers to that kiln is a truck we buy, and photos of the cab, the frame and the plate on the door are what we ask for first.
Just past it, about 20.9 miles west, the Energy Information Administration records the Demopolis Propane Terminal as a petroleum product terminal. If your tank truck has loaded there, keep the registration and any hazmat placard paperwork with it, and tell us whether it is parked at the terminal end of the route or back in town.
If your truck is parked near Demopolis, leave it there and we come to it.
Going the other way, the Oakmulgee Crusher appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a sand and gravel operation 22.8 miles east of Uniontown. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that cycle between a crusher and job sites are part of what we collect.
Gravel work keeps a truck out at the pit or at whatever site it last unloaded, so tell us whether yours is at the crusher gate, a yard, or a driveway in Perry County. Note the axle setup and body type when you write, and send a picture of the bed raised if you can.
A van tractor or straight truck from one of those operations is the most common kind of truck we would see from this town.
Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on the filings of 22 local carriers in that same federal census, with grain, feed and hay on 13 and farm supplies on 11. Log trucks, flatbeds and grain hoppers can sit on a farm or a woodlot rather than a lot, so a pin on a map is often more useful to us than a street name.
Most outfits here stay inside Alabama: the census counts 47 intrastate operators against 15 that cross state lines, and 15 run private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever kind you are, the USDOT number on your truck helps us confirm its registration.
Small outfits, a median of forty thousand miles
The three biggest Uniontown operations on file with FMCSA run 16, 11 and 11 power units, so nearly every seller in town is an owner-operator or a small fleet. We buy a single tractor as readily as several, and a fleet owner can send one list with the VINs of every unit on offer.
New registrations keep appearing in that federal census: nine Uniontown carriers were added in 2025 and four in 2024. A newer operator selling a recently titled truck should have the title in hand, or know which lender holds it.
Thirty-eight trucks from Uniontown carriers went through FMCSA roadside inspections between August 2024 and August 2026, and those records put their median model year at 2011.5.
Send the year, make and model with your first message, and if the truck was inspected recently, keep that inspection report alongside the registration.
Mills and fields
Of the 508 jobs located in Uniontown in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 204 in manufacturing, about 40.2 percent of the total. Plant work like that keeps box trucks and tractors moving in and out of town on shift schedules, and a truck parked at a plant lot can be collected there with the owner’s permission.
Around the town, 305 farms operate in Perry County according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cotton, cattle and corn at the top of the list. A cattle hauler, a module truck or a grain body tractor kept on a farm is one we can pick up from the field road, so send directions along with the photos.
Titles in this state are handled by the Alabama Department of Revenue through County License Plate Issuing Officials. The Alabama Department of Revenue lists Hale County’s office, at 1001 Main St., Greensboro, 36744, about 18.8 miles from Uniontown, as the nearest one.
If the title is missing, start the duplicate with that Greensboro office before arranging collection, and bring the registration and your ID. If a lender still holds the title, have the payoff contact ready so the lien release can be sorted out at the same time.
