Pits off Bay Road and south toward Porter
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Bay Road Plant #7, a sand and gravel operation 4.4 miles north-east of Camden, and Tarburton Pit, another sand and gravel site 6.8 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or tractor that loads at either one may still be parked at the pit gate when you decide to sell. Give us the site name and who controls access, and the collection gets planned around their hours rather than yours.
Porter Sand & Gravel, Inc., an industrial-mineral mine 9.8 miles south of town, appears in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration listing. Trucks that shuttle between these three sites often carry plates and paperwork that were renewed in a hurry, so check that the title name matches the registration before you call. If it does not, say so at the start and we will work through it with you.
General freight, lowboys, bulk and timber out of Camden
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 68 active carriers based in Camden, and 40 of them name general freight as a cargo they carry. Thirteen list machinery and large objects, eight list dry bulk commodities and eight list logs, poles, beams and lumber. Whether yours is a box truck, a lowboy tractor or a log rig, tell us which of those loads it pulled and send photos of the body or trailer coupling along with the cab.
Split by operation in the same federal census, 40 Camden carriers run interstate and 28 stay intrastate, while 32 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck usually has its maintenance file in a company office rather than in the cab, so ask whoever keeps the books to pull it before the sale.
Camden route lengths
Drivers near Dover and drivers far beyond it
Of the drivers on Camden carriers’ rolls, FMCSA’s census records 231 working within 100 miles of base and 93 driving beyond that. A truck on the short circuit is likely parked locally at night, while one on longer routes might be sitting at a yard in another state; either way, we collect it where it stands, so just give us the address.
Across 29 carriers here that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median works out to 25,000 miles per truck in a year. Have the current odometer reading and the VIN written down before you get in touch; with those two in hand, the rest of the conversation about a Camden truck is short.
Camden fleet profile
Twenty-nine power units at the top of the Camden list
The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s Camden list run 29, 27 and 24 power units, with 37, 22 and 16 drivers respectively; the other carriers are smaller. Selling several units at once is handled the same way as one: a list of VINs, a location for each truck, and one contact who can release them.
A 2019 build sits at the midpoint of the 81 Camden trucks that FMCSA roadside inspection records logged at checkpoints from autumn 2024 through summer 2026. In those same roadside inspection records, just under 26 percent of the trucks were ten or more years old. Keep any inspection reports from those roadside stops with the title, since they record the truck’s history in an official form.
Jobs, builders and the base
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 3,747 jobs in Camden, with 300 of them, or 8 percent, in transportation and warehousing. Manufacturing accounted for 166 jobs, construction for 141 and wholesale trade for 51 on the same LEHD figures. A truck that served any of those employers can be sold by the person on the title, so confirm whose name it carries before you send photos.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 33 construction establishments for Camden, and Dover Air Force Base, a military installation listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies 5.1 miles east. If your truck is parked on a job site or inside a gated area near the base, tell us what access the driver will need so nothing holds the pickup at the gate.
Corn, soy, wheat
Kent County grain and the trucks that move it
Corn leads the crop list across Kent County’s 770 farms, followed by soybeans and wheat, according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and farm tractors often spend months parked in a barn or field between harvests, which is no obstacle for us; send the farm’s address and directions to where the truck sits.
A farm truck registered on farm plates still needs a title in the owner’s name to sell. If that title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues the duplicate, and it helps to start that request before harvest pulls everyone back into the fields.
The questions we get asked in Camden
- My dump truck sits at a pit off Bay Road, north-east of Camden; can it be picked up from the pit itself?Bay Road Plant #7 sits 4.4 miles north-east of town in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, and we collect from sites like it directly. Name the operator who controls the pit entrance, and the driver’s visit gets booked through them.
- I keep a private fleet in Camden and want to sell three of its tractors in one go; what do you need from me?Private fleets make up 32 of Camden’s carriers in FMCSA’s census, and several trucks from one of them are handled as one sale. Send the VINs, where each truck is parked and the name of the person who can release them.
- Nobody can find the title for the grain truck on our Kent County farm; which office reissues it?Kent County’s 770 farms, counted by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, run plenty of trucks whose papers get misplaced between seasons, and the state’s title agency is the office that issues a duplicate. Start that request and tell us it is underway when you contact us.
- Our Camden tractor was built in 2019. Where does that put it among local trucks?FMCSA roadside inspection records for 81 Camden trucks show 2019 as the median model year, so yours sits right in the middle of the local fleet. Include its VIN and the odometer figure in your first message, along with where in Kent County it is parked.
