Tri-axles between the east-side pit and two quarries
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Cambridge City Pit, a sand and gravel operation, only 1.2 miles east of town. If your dump truck or end-dump trailer hauls aggregate out of that pit, give us the yard address where it is kept and we will collect it there.
Further out, Richmond Quarry, a crushed-stone site 19.7 miles east, and Ballenger Stone, 22.3 miles south, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your tri-axle splits its weeks between those quarries and the local pit, tell us where it sleeps on a Friday night, since that is the spot we plan the pickup around.
South toward Fayette County, the Connersville Pit sits 13.8 miles away, according to Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. For a gravel truck from any of these three sites, send photos of the bed, the hoist, the tag axle and the cab, plus the VIN plate.
Harvest and dairy hauling
Hopper bottoms, milk tankers and the farm lane pickup
Around Cambridge City the land is farmed: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 727 farms in Wayne County, with corn, soybeans and milk at the top of the list. A tandem grain truck, a hopper bottom or a bulk milk tractor from one of those operations can be collected from the farm lane or the machine shed where it waits between harvests.
Seven of the 46 active carriers based here haul grain, feed and hay, and ten more carry farm supplies, per FMCSA’s carrier census. For a farm truck, have the title in the name on the registration and note the hours or miles from the dash; those two items answer most of our first questions.
Seasonal trucks often sit unregistered over winter. That is fine: send the title, a photo of the last registration card if you still have it, and a picture of the odometer, and we can work from there.
Carriers on the town roster
Own-goods haulers outnumber for-hire outfits
Of the 46 carriers registered in Cambridge City, 34 run private fleets carrying their own goods, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. The same FMCSA records show 14 authorized for interstate work and 32 staying inside Indiana. Tell us whether your truck is parked at a shop, a farm or a business lot in or near town.
General freight leads the cargo list with 13 carriers, and nine move machinery and large objects, again per FMCSA records. A lowboy, a step-deck or a rollback that has carried equipment between farms and job sites fits that second group; tell us the trailer type alongside the tractor so both can be handled at once.
The biggest local operations are small: FMCSA’s census shows the top three running ten, nine and six power units. If you run one of those yards and want to sell two or three units together, list each VIN and where it stands on the lot.
A pit-and-field working year
The midpoint for the nine Cambridge City carriers that filed mileage with FMCSA lands at 17,313 miles on each truck yearly. That figure points to local hauling between the pit, the fields and nearby towns rather than long cross-country routes.
With a working year like that, a seller can usually walk us through where the truck has been. Have the service invoices or the shop’s printout handy, along with the current odometer photo, and we will ask fewer follow-up questions.
New registrations are few: FMCSA lists two carriers starting here in 2024 and one in 2025. If you are an owner-operator winding down a newer authority, have your USDOT number ready so we can match the truck to the carrier record.
Getting a trailer in
Sixteen bridges and one posted limit
Within reach of Cambridge City, the National Bridge Inventory records 16 bridges, and none of them falls below a fourteen-foot clearance. One carries a posted load limit, so tell us the road your truck sits on and we will route the carrier around it.
Our pickup driver needs a firm surface and room to turn a rollback or lowboy. If the truck is behind a barn or at the back of a gravel yard, send a photo of the approach along with the truck photos.
Duplicate titles in this state come from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and its nearest BMV branch to Cambridge City is the Connersville office at 544 W 30th St, Connersville, 47331, about 9.8 miles from town. If the title is missing, start the duplicate application there before you contact us, and keep the receipt.
If the title still lists a lender as lienholder, get the lien release letter from that lender first. Bring that letter, your driver’s license and the VIN to the Connersville branch so the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles can issue a clean replacement.
Plant docks and contractor shops
Factory floors and building crews

Nine building contractors keep establishments in Cambridge City, going by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. For a contractor’s dump truck, flatbed or service body, tell us which Cambridge City shop or job site it is parked at and have the title signed by the name printed on it.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists NG Knightstown, a military installation, 18.6 miles west. If your truck is stored on or near a site with gated access, name a contact who can let the pickup driver in.
