Living and hauling beside the air base
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Mountain Home Air Force Base at 0 miles from town, directly to the south. If your truck is kept in housing near the base or in a lot just outside the gate, tell us that when you get in touch, along with who can let a driver in. Access near a military installation is easier to plan when we know it up front.
Personnel and families who are moving on to a new posting often have a truck to settle before they go. Should orders take you away from Elmore County before the sale is done, leave the truck where it is, give us a local contact and the address, and finish everything from your next station by phone and email.
Edgemeade TS
The Guard site at Mtn Home
NG Edgemeade TS Mtn Home, a second military installation, lies 12.6 miles north-east of town according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck stored out that way is still within reach; send us the nearest road and a pin from your phone so the driver arrives at the right spot.
Between the air base to the south and the Guard site to the north-east, a truck here might be sitting in either direction. Whichever it is, have the title in the registered owner’s name and the current registration together before we arrange collection.
Grain fields
Corn, wheat and barley country
Elmore County has 284 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and corn, wheat and barley head its list of crops. Grain trucks, farm tractors and the straight trucks that move harvest between field and storage are all trucks we take. Tell us which crop it hauled and roughly when it last worked a season.
A farm truck often stays parked in a barn or at the field edge between harvests. You do not need to move it toward town; we come to the farm. Send clear photos of the cab, the bed or box, the tires and the VIN plate with your first message, ahead of a collection anywhere in Elmore County.
A small local workforce
Mountain Home AFB counted 245 jobs in 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. With a workforce that size, a work truck here is often the only one its owner runs, so a single sale is the usual case and we handle it as one.
For a one-truck owner, the paperwork is short: the title, the registration and any service records kept in the glovebox or a folder at home. Gather what you have, photograph the odometer, and send the VIN; those let us ask the right questions about your truck.
Idaho titles for owners near the base
A missing Idaho title is handled by the state’s title agency, and a replacement should be requested from it before the truck changes hands. If a lender is still listed on the title, a lien release from that lender belongs in the same envelope.
If the truck was registered while you were stationed here but titled in another state, tell us which state issued the title. That state’s title agency is the one that answers for it, and knowing that early keeps the paperwork in order.
