Clay, gravel, coal
Clay, gravel and coal sites around Farmersburg
Boral Bricks Terre Haute, an industrial-mineral mine the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 5.3 miles north-east of town, is the closest extraction site to Farmersburg. If your dump truck or tractor has hauled clay from there, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab along with the VIN, and tell us where it is parked now.
Eleven miles north-west, S & G Excavating’s South Pit appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a sand and gravel operation. Gravel trucks that work a pit like that are often kept at the pit or at the owner’s yard rather than in town; give us that address and whether a tow rig can reach the truck, and we plan collection around it.
Bear Run Mine, a coal mine 18.7 miles south of Farmersburg, is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration alongside a second coal entry at the same distance. Haul trucks and service trucks from a site like Bear Run usually carry maintenance logs from the mine’s own shop; keep those with the title, since they tell us what the truck has done.
Yards at Hiawatha and Baker, and the Switz City terminal
Two rail yards bracket the town on the North American Rail Network, which the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain: Hiawatha, 12.1 miles south-east, and Baker, 12.9 miles north. A tractor that shuttles loads to either yard can be collected from the yard lot, a farm or your driveway; just tell us which.
Switz City, a petroleum product terminal 23 miles south-east of Farmersburg, is recorded by the Energy Information Administration. If your truck pulled a fuel tanker out of that terminal, list the trailer separately from the tractor and photograph both, so each is described on its own.
Hulman Field sits 14.5 miles north-east, shown by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a military installation. Trucks based around the Terre Haute side of the county can be picked up there as easily as in Farmersburg; distance from town does not change what we need from you, which is the title, the VIN and clear photos.
Eighteen registered carriers, mostly hauling their own freight
Of the 18 active Farmersburg carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 16 haul their own goods as private fleets rather than for hire. A farm or contractor that owns a single truck counts in that group, and selling one needs nothing more than the title in the registered owner’s name and the truck’s location.
Only 5 of those Farmersburg carriers are authorised for interstate work while 13 stay inside Indiana, according to the same FMCSA census. If your truck carried Indiana-only registration, have the current registration card with you when we arrive along with the title.
Among local fleets, the biggest listed in the FMCSA carrier census runs 18 power units with 13 drivers, the next 8 units with 3 drivers, and a third 4 units with 3 drivers. An owner clearing out three or four units at once can send one list pairing each VIN with the farm, yard or shop where that truck stands.
Grain, machinery and timber loads out of Farmersburg
Grain, feed and hay is the cargo named most often by Farmersburg carriers, at 6 of them in FMCSA’s carrier census, with machinery and large objects at 5 and farm supplies at 4. Grain hoppers, flatbeds and lowboys are what that cargo mix puts on the road here, and we buy each of them.
Three local carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber with FMCSA. A log truck or a flatbed used for lumber can come to us with its trailer or without it; say which when you get in touch, and include photos of any loader or bunks fitted to the truck.
Five Farmersburg carriers give FMCSA a yearly mileage figure, and the midpoint across them sits at 20,000 miles for each truck. Have the odometer reading ready with the VIN when you contact us, since it is one of the first details we ask for.
Collecting from barns and machine sheds south of Terre Haute
Around Farmersburg, 411 farms operate in Sullivan County according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and cattle as the leading products. Grain trucks and cattle haulers on those farms often sit in a barn or machine shed between harvests; we collect from the farm itself, so there is no need to move the truck first.
Farm trucks are sometimes titled to a family member or the farm business rather than the person selling. Before we schedule pickup, check that the name on the title matches whoever is signing it, and if it does not, have the titled owner sign or provide written authority.
Sullivan BMV
A duplicate from the BMV office on South Section Street
Indiana titles are issued by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles through its BMV branches, and the Sullivan branch at 273 S Section St, Sullivan, 47882, is 11.2 miles south of Farmersburg. If the title for your truck is missing, apply for a duplicate there before we collect.
Bring your photo ID and the truck’s VIN to the Sullivan branch, and if a lender once held the title, a lien release as well. Once the duplicate is in hand, send us a photo of it so the name and VIN can be confirmed before pickup.
