Sawmill, farm and contractor rigs registered on the Ohio

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 25 active carriers based in Cannelton, and 22 of them run as private fleets moving their own goods rather than for hire. If your truck belongs to a farm, a sawmill or a contractor rather than a trucking company, it is exactly the kind of unit we buy, and the registration in the business name is what we will ask to see.

Of those Cannelton carriers, the federal census counts 17 as intrastate and 8 as interstate operators. A truck that has stayed inside Indiana usually carries only state registration, so have that card and the title together when you call; an interstate unit may also have its USDOT number on the door, which helps us match it to its record.

New registrations are few in the same FMCSA records: one new carrier in 2025 and none in 2024. Whether you are closing out a long-standing operation or selling one truck from a small farm fleet, tell us how many units you have so we can plan the collection around all of them.

Cargo on the riverbank

Grain beds, log trailers and livestock pots

Grain, feed and hay is the most common cargo class among Cannelton carriers, listed by 10 of them in FMCSA’s census, with logs, poles, beams and lumber close behind at 8. Grain trucks, tandem dump-bed straight trucks and log tractors with their trailers are all trucks we collect here; photograph the bed or trailer as well as the cab.

Six local carriers declare machinery and large objects, and five declare livestock, according to the federal carrier census. A lowboy tractor or a stock trailer rig is welcome; send the trailer’s VIN and title along with the tractor’s so both can go on one bill of sale.

Corn bins and hog barns

Corn, soybeans and hogs on the ridge farms

Out past Cannelton’s town limits, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 417 farms across Perry County, naming corn, soybeans and hogs as what they produce most. A farm truck that has spent its year between field, bin and elevator is often parked at the farm itself, and that is where we come to load it.

Give us the farm’s road address and say whether the truck sits in a barn lot, a field edge or a gravel yard. Knowing the ground in advance lets the driver bring the right equipment to the Cannelton side of the county or anywhere out along the ridge roads.

Hauls that stay near home

Short local runs from the river town

Drivers working for Cannelton carriers mostly stay close: FMCSA’s census records 32 drivers operating within a hundred-mile radius and 13 who go farther. A truck used on short local hauls is typically kept in town or at the owner’s yard, so pickup usually means a visit to that yard.

Only six Cannelton outfits reported annual mileage to FMCSA, and their median truck logged 14,167 miles in a year. Have the current odometer reading ready when you contact us, together with the VIN, since those two details start every conversation about a truck.

The largest locally based fleet in the federal carrier census runs 11 power units with 5 drivers, and the next two run 6 units each. Selling several trucks from a fleet that size is straightforward; list each unit’s VIN and where it is parked, and we will schedule them together.

Clear spans in town

Open clearances for the tow truck

The National Bridge Inventory lists 8 bridges in and around Cannelton, with none posted for load limits and none carrying a clearance below fourteen feet. For a seller, that means the route to your yard is unlikely to need a detour for our carrier truck, but mention any private bridge or low shed entry on your own property.

If the truck sits behind a gate, a low barn door or on soft ground, say so with the photos. The Federal Highway Administration’s bridge records cover public roads only, so the last stretch to your truck is the part only you can describe to us.

A lost title three miles down the river

The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles handles duplicate titles through its BMV branches, and the nearest to Cannelton is the Tell City branch at 635 Main St, Tell City, 47586, about 3.1 miles away by the bureau’s own branch listing. If the title is missing, start the duplicate application there before we schedule pickup.

Bring the registration, your photo ID and any lien release to the Tell City office; a business-owned truck also needs proof that you can sign for the company. Once the replacement title is in hand, send a photo of it along with the truck’s pictures and we can move ahead.

The questions we get asked in Cannelton

  • Can a hog or grain hauler be loaded right at my place outside Cannelton?Perry County’s 417 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture grow corn and soybeans and raise hogs, and grain and livestock trucks from those farms are trucks we collect, from the farm yard itself.
  • My title is gone - which BMV branch serves Cannelton?The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch in Tell City, at 635 Main St, about 3.1 miles from Cannelton per the bureau’s listing, handles duplicate title applications.
  • Can you pick up a log truck or lowboy here?Eight Cannelton carriers in FMCSA’s census haul logs, poles, beams and lumber and six move machinery, so log tractors, lowboys and their trailers are welcome; send each VIN and photos of the trailer too.
  • Will your truck fit the local bridges?Cannelton’s 8 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory include none under fourteen feet and none posted for load, so tell us mainly about gates, sheds or soft ground on your own property.
