Log trucks around the lakes
Of the 26 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places at Cordry Sweetwater Lakes, 8 list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo. If yours is a log truck or a flatbed that has carried sawn lumber out of these hills, tell us whether a loader, bunks or stakes are still mounted; we plan the collection around that equipment.
Lakeside driveways and woodlot lanes are where many of these trucks are parked between jobs. Give us the exact spot, say whether the lane is gravel or paved, and mention any low branches or tight turns on the way in, so the pickup crew arrives with the right equipment for that ground.
Twenty-three inside Indiana
According to FMCSA’s carrier census, 23 of the carriers here run intrastate and just 3 cross state lines, while 22 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that has spent its working life inside Indiana usually carries Indiana registration only, so keep that registration card with the title when you reach out.
Drivers based at Cordry Sweetwater Lakes split between two ranges: the carrier census counts 23 working within a hundred-mile radius and 19 going farther. Whichever describes your truck, a short note on the routes it ran helps us read the service records you send alongside the photos.
Single-truck owners between the lakes and Atterbury
The biggest operation on FMCSA’s list for this lakes community runs 5 power units and 3 drivers; the next two have 3 and 2 power units. Owners like these are often selling a single tractor or straight truck, and that is a sale we handle one vehicle at a time.
NG Camp Atterbury, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 4.2 miles east, is the nearest large site to the lakes. If your truck is stored on property between the lakes and the base, a street address or a pin dropped on a map is enough for us to find it.
Sand, gravel and crushed stone ten to nineteen miles east
East and north-east of the lakes, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Edinburgh sand and gravel operation 10.3 miles away and the Columbus Plant 10.5 miles away. Dump trucks and tri-axles that load at pits like these are trucks we buy; photos of the bed, the hoist and the tailgate alongside the cab tell us what body it carries.
Farther out, Dinn Quarry sits 17.2 miles east and the US Aggregates-Flat Rock Plant 18.8 miles east, both crushed-stone quarries in the MSHA listings. Construction is the other half of that trade, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 12 construction establishments in Brown County. If your dump truck or mixer worked those jobs, list any attachments or plows that go with it.
Cut block and minerals
Arlington Hills slabs and the Riverside mine
Arlington Hills Quarry, a dimension-stone quarry 24.2 miles west in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records, ships cut block rather than gravel. Flatbeds and heavy straight trucks built to carry stone slabs fit what we collect; mention the deck length and any winches or tie-down rails on yours.
North of the lakes, MSHA lists Riverside Aggregates & Materials, an industrial-mineral mine, at 23.8 miles. A truck kept at a mine yard rather than at home can be collected there, provided someone can let the crew in, so include a gate contact with your photos.
Barn lots and trash routes
Hopper trucks, livestock haulers and packer bodies
Brown County has 157 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and cattle at the top of the list. Four carriers at the lakes haul grain, feed or hay by FMCSA’s count; a grain truck, hopper trailer or livestock hauler from one of those farms can be picked up straight from the barn lot.
Garbage, refuse and trash is the listed cargo for another 4 carriers in FMCSA’s census, and 6 carry general freight. For a roll-off, rear loader or box truck, have the title, the registration and any body or packer manuals together, and photograph the body from both sides.
A lost Indiana title, handled nine miles away in Nashville
Duplicate titles in this state come from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and its nearest BMV branch to the lakes is the Nashville office at 106 Hawthorne Dr, Nashville, 47448, which the bureau’s branch list puts 9.6 miles away. If the title is lost, start the duplicate application before you contact us so the paperwork is moving.
When the truck is titled in a business name rather than your own, bring the company’s details to the Nashville branch with you. Once the new title is in hand, send us a photo of its front along with the VIN plate, and we can match the two.
The questions we get asked in Cordry Sweetwater Lakes
- Will you take a lumber hauler parked at a Cordry Sweetwater Lakes cabin?Eight of the 26 carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census here haul logs, poles, beams or lumber, and their trucks are ones we buy; mention the loader, bunks or stakes on yours when you send photos.
- Which office near the lakes replaces an Indiana truck title that has gone missing?The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues duplicates, and its Nashville branch at 106 Hawthorne Dr sits 9.6 miles from the lakes, per the bureau’s branch list.
- Can you collect a dump truck parked at a quarry yard?Gravel and stone sites ring the lakes, from Edinburgh at 10.3 miles north-east to Dinn Quarry at 17.2 miles east in MSHA’s listings. We collect from the yard if someone can open the gate.
- Does a truck that never left Indiana fit what you collect at the lakes?Twenty-three of the 26 carriers here run intrastate under FMCSA’s census, so an Indiana-only truck is typical here; its Indiana registration and title are what we need.
