Stone haulers off the Atkins and Coopers Lane pits
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two crushed-stone quarries close to Clarksville: Atkins Mine, 2 miles south-east, and Coopers Lane Mine, 3.7 miles north-east. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has hauled stone from either one is often parked at the quarry gate or a yard nearby, so tell us which site and who holds the key.
Farther out, imi New Albany Sand & Gravel sits 10.8 miles south-west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your gravel truck is kept down there rather than in Clarksville, give us that address; we collect from the spot where it is parked, and the title in your name plus a few photos of the bed and the cab are what we need first.
Jeffersonville yard, MGRI and the river terminals
According to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Jeffersonville rail yard lies 1.8 miles south-east of Clarksville and the MGRI yard 4.7 miles east. Day cabs that dray freight to and from those yards can be picked up at the yard lot if that is where they sit; send us the VIN and the gate contact.
Two fuel sites sit 5.1 miles south-west: the TransMontaigne Partners LLC liquid bulk terminal, listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and the KENTUCKIANA petroleum product terminal, listed by the Energy Information Administration. If your tractor pulled a tanker out of either one, have the registration and any hazmat inspection records on hand when we talk, since they travel with the truck to its next owner.
General freight, machinery and lumber haulers in town
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 83 active carriers based in Clarksville, 55 of them authorised for interstate work and 28 staying inside Indiana, while 39 run private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever group your truck belongs to, the paperwork we ask for is the same: a clear title, current registration and the keys.
General freight is the cargo listed by 37 of those carriers in the FMCSA census, ahead of machinery and large objects at 15, motor vehicles at 12 and logs, poles, beams and lumber at 10. A lowboy, a car hauler or a log trailer setup is as welcome as a dry van tractor; tell us what the truck pulled so we know which trailer, if any, comes with it.
Per FMCSA’s census, 5 new carriers registered in Clarksville in 2025, after none in 2024. If you are one of those newer operators changing plans, a truck bought recently still needs the title transferred into your name before we can take it, so check that the transfer has gone through.
Clarksville’s short-haul drivers and the 2020 median model year
Drivers working within 100 miles number 1,892 in the FMCSA carrier census for Clarksville, against 428 who go beyond that radius. A truck on short local routes is usually home at night, which makes it easy for us to reach at the driver’s house or the company lot.
The median Clarksville truck covers 20,000 miles a year, based on the 31 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA. Read the odometer before you call and include a photo of it; that one figure answers several of our questions at once.
Across 1,086 trucks stopped at roadside between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA inspection records give a median model year of 2020, and 18.69 percent were built ten or more years before. Whatever year yours is, give us the year, make and model along with the VIN.
One tractor or a yard full of units
Clarksville’s top three fleets hold 2,855, 130 and 79 power units on FMCSA’s carrier census, staffed by 1,708, 124 and 79 drivers in that order. A fleet manager clearing several units at once can send us one list of VINs and yard locations instead of calling truck by truck.
Most operators here are far smaller than that, and a single owner-operator selling one tractor goes through the same steps: title, registration, photos, and where the truck is parked.
Warehouse jobs, Clark County farms and open bridges
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 11,785 jobs in Clarksville, with 876 in transportation and warehousing, 409 in construction, 393 in manufacturing and 342 in wholesale trade. Box trucks and straight trucks from warehouse or wholesale work are part of what we purchase, alongside the heavier tractors.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau count 38 construction establishments, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 437 farms in Clark County growing soybeans and corn and raising cattle. A grain truck kept on a farm outside town or a contractor’s dump truck at a job yard can be collected on site; give us directions if the lane is hard to find.
All 33 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records for Clarksville carry no load posting and none clears under 14 feet, so a tall or heavy truck can be reached without a detour around a restricted span.
The questions we get asked in Clarksville
- My end-dump sits at the stone quarry by the Clarksville line, so does pickup happen right there at the pit gate?Atkins Mine is 2 miles south-east and Coopers Lane Mine 3.7 miles north-east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from either. Name the quarry operator whose ground the truck is on and the person holding the gate key.
- Which documents does a Clarksville truck owner gather before the sale?Clarksville sellers hand over the title in their own name, the current registration and the keys. If the title is lost, request a replacement from the state’s title office before we schedule the pickup.
- My tractor pulled tankers from the KENTUCKIANA fuel terminal south-west of Clarksville, so is a tanker tractor something you take?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the Energy Information Administration place the TransMontaigne and KENTUCKIANA terminals 5.1 miles south-west of Clarksville, and tractors that pulled tankers from them are trucks we buy. Send the VIN, an odometer photo and say whether the trailer is part of the sale.
- Our fleet is based in Clarksville. Will you handle a dozen units in one sale?FMCSA’s census lists Clarksville fleets running from a handful of trucks up to 2,855 power units, and we handle multi-truck sales. Send one list with each VIN and the lot where it sits.
