Gravel and stone within a few miles of Anderson
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Anderson Plant, a sand and gravel operation, 3.3 miles north-east of town, and Pendleton Quarry, which produces crushed stone, 4.3 miles to the south-west. If your dump truck or tri-axle runs loads out of either one, it may be parked at the pit gate rather than at your house, so give us the site name and who controls access there.
Further out, Fall Creek Sand & Gravel sits 13.2 miles south-west and IMI Stony Creek Stone Co is 13.8 miles west, according to Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. A truck based at one of those yards can be collected where it stands. Have the title in your name and a recent registration card ready, and photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab before you contact us.
Rail yards and the Muncie fuel terminals
South Anderson, a rail yard on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies just 0.5 miles south of the city, and a second yard named East is 19.1 miles to the east. Tractors that shuttle freight between those yards and nearby docks are trucks we buy; send the VIN and a few photos of the frame and fifth wheel to start.
Two petroleum product terminals at Muncie, 21.4 and 21.5 miles north-east, appear in Energy Information Administration records. If your tanker or fuel truck works that run, keep its tank inspection paperwork together with the title and send both along with the photos.
Anderson carriers by load type
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 473 active carriers based here, with 152 hauling general freight, 73 carrying machinery and large objects, 55 moving motor vehicles and 52 hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber. Whichever of those your truck works, tell us the body or trailer type first, since a car hauler, a lowboy tractor and a log truck each need different photos.
Of those 473 carriers, 388 stay inside Indiana, 85 cross state lines and 339 are private fleets moving their own goods, per the same FMCSA census. If your truck ran under a company’s operating authority rather than your own, bring the paperwork showing the title is yours to sign over.
New registrations listed in FMCSA’s carrier census numbered 23 in 2024 and 12 in 2025. If you started hauling recently and are now stepping away, a truck that is still under a loan can be sold too; have the lender’s name and contact details on hand.
Carriers here report 995 drivers working within 100 miles and 1,490 going beyond that radius, in FMCSA’s carrier census. A long-haul driver may be away when the sale happens, so name a person near the truck who can hand over keys and show us where it is parked.
Among the 76 carriers that report annual mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 13,382 miles per truck. The biggest operation registered in town lists 876 power units and 911 drivers in that census, while the next two run 60 and 51 units. Owners of a single truck and managers retiring several units at once both reach us the same way: one list of VINs and where each unit sits.
What Indiana inspectors recorded for Anderson trucks
Of that Anderson group, 13.1 percent had a model year ten or more years back, the FMCSA inspection file shows.
Whatever the model year, the paperwork is the same: the title, the current registration and any service records you kept. Add a recent roadside inspection report to that pile if you have one; it lists the truck’s VIN and plate on a single sheet.
Plant floors, contractors and corn and cattle farms
Census Bureau LEHD job counts for 2023 put 2,297 of Anderson’s 24,153 jobs in manufacturing, 716 in transportation and warehousing, 622 in wholesale trade and 479 in construction. Box trucks and straight trucks serving plants and distributors in town are on our list; note the box length and liftgate when you write.
Anderson counts 101 construction businesses and 3 warehouses in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s flatbed or dump truck parked on a job site can be picked up there, provided someone can let us onto the site.
Madison County had 682 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and cattle as the leading products. Grain trucks and livestock haulers parked out in a barn lot are collected from the farm; send directions, since rural addresses do not always map cleanly.
The questions we get asked in Anderson
- Will low bridges around Anderson be an issue for collecting a tall truck?The National Bridge Inventory lists 35 bridges in Anderson, none under 14 feet of clearance, and 2 carry posted load limits; tell us the truck’s height and weight so we plan the route around those two.
