If your dump truck or tractor is parked at one of those pits between loads, give us the pit name and who controls the gate, and the pickup can be arranged on site.
Further out, the Landsdown Montgomery Plant, an industrial-mineral mine 12.9 miles south-west of town, also appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. A truck that has hauled out of a mine site often carries its own paperwork trail, such as site inspection sheets or service logs from the yard; put those with the title so the truck’s working history travels with it.
Photos help most when they show what a pit truck actually does: the body or bed, the frame rails, the hoist and the tires, as well as the cab and the plate. Send them with the VIN and we can ask the right questions from the start.
Box trucks, day cabs and sleepers that pull dry vans fall in that group, and each needs the same three things from you: the title in your name, the current registration and the VIN.
Machinery and large objects are listed by 71 Wetumpka carriers in the federal carrier census, while 63 haul logs, poles, beams or lumber and 45 carry farm supplies. Lowboys, log trucks and the tractors that pull them are all trucks we buy; if a trailer goes with the tractor, tell us whether you are selling them together or apart.
Of those 272 carriers, FMCSA records 224 as intrastate operators and 48 as interstate, with 146 running as private fleets that haul their own goods. A private-fleet truck may be titled to a business rather than a person, so check whose name is on the title and who can sign for the company before we schedule a collection.
Fleet size, age and miles in Elmore County’s seat
If you are selling several units out of a fleet like that, a list of VINs with where each truck is parked lets us plan one visit instead of several.
FMCSA roadside inspection records for 100 Wetumpka-based trucks, inspected between September 2024 and August 2026, put the median model year at 2014.5, and 56 percent of those trucks were ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on yours, the registration card and title should match the VIN plate, so check all three before you call.
Have the current odometer reading when you contact us, alongside the year, make and model.
Of the 21 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records for Wetumpka, two are load-posted and one is under 14 feet. The National Bridge Inventory shows that lowest one carries AL.212 over the Coosa River at 12 feet 5 inches, so if your truck sits on the far side of that crossing, mention it and we will route the collection truck around it.
Trucks that shuttle loads to and from those yards can be collected from a yard lot as well as from your home or shop; just tell us whose property it is on.
Energy Information Administration records list the MONTGOMERY petroleum product terminal 11.4 miles south-west of town. Fuel tankers and the tractors that pull them out of that terminal are trucks we buy, and any tank inspection paperwork you kept should go along with the title.
Census Bureau LEHD job counts for 2023 show 5,901 jobs in Wetumpka, with 206 in construction, 188 in manufacturing, 109 in transportation and warehousing and 95 in wholesale trade. Construction alone accounts for 46 establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A dump truck, mixer or flatbed that served job sites can be collected from the site itself, provided someone there knows it is going.
Elmore County holds 478 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cotton, corn and cattle at the top of the list. Grain trucks, cattle haulers and farm-plated trucks are welcome; if the truck is registered as a farm vehicle, have that registration with the title so the paperwork matches what is on the plate.
Near Maxwell-Gunter and the Guard headquarters
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places NG Montgomery JFHQ AFRC / CSMS 01, a military installation, 9.8 miles south of Wetumpka, and Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base 13.2 miles to the south-west. If you are a service member being reassigned and your truck stays behind, you can sell it from your new posting; leave a key with someone local and give us their number.
Driver records filed with FMCSA show 382 Wetumpka drivers working within 100 miles of home and 340 going beyond that. A truck whose owner is out on the road can still be sold: tell us where it is parked and who can hand over the keys, and sign the title wherever you are.
The questions we get asked in Wetumpka
- Will the low bridge over the Coosa River be a problem for pickup?The National Bridge Inventory records 12 feet 5 inches of clearance where AL.212 crosses the Coosa River, the only Wetumpka bridge under 14 feet. Tell us the truck’s address and we plan the route around that crossing.
