Fuel terminals by the river
About 8.2 miles south-east of Galena, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places TransMontaigne Partners LLC, a liquid bulk terminal, and the Energy Information Administration lists the KENTUCKIANA petroleum product terminal at the same distance. If your tractor has pulled tank loads in and out of those gates, mention it when you call, along with the trailer type it hooked to.
Galena owners whose tractor is parked at a yard near the terminals rather than at home can leave it there. Give us the street address, a contact who can open the gate, and photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel, and we arrange collection from that spot.
Crushed stone, east side
Dump trucks for Sellersburg stone and New Albany gravel
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists IMI Sellersburg Stone Co., a crushed-stone quarry, 10.7 miles east of Galena, with Atkins Mine, another crushed-stone quarry, at 11.3 miles in the same direction. Dump trucks and tri-axles that spend their days between those pits and job sites are trucks we buy.
Due south, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places imi New Albany Sand & Gravel 11.2 miles from town. For a dump truck that has worked any of these three operations, have the title, the current registration and any service records together before you reach out, and send a photo of the body and hoist alongside the cab.
Day cabs between Galena, the MGRI yard and the westward port
Jeffersonville’s rail yard lies 10.8 miles east of Galena on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and that same network shows the MGRI yard farther east at 14.2 miles. A day cab that shuttles freight to those yards can be collected from whichever lot it sits on.
Westward, the Southern Indiana District port is 23.5 miles from Galena according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. When your truck runs port or rail work and is rarely home, tell us its usual parking location and the hours someone is there to hand over keys.
Machinery haulers and private fleets around Galena
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 63 active carriers based around Galena, and 23 of them list machinery and large objects as cargo, while 21 carry general freight, 11 move motor vehicles and 8 haul farm supplies. Lowboys, step-decks, car haulers and dry-van tractors all fit what we purchase.
Of those 63, the federal carrier census shows 48 running private fleets, 29 authorised for interstate work and 34 for intrastate hauling. A private-fleet owner selling a truck that hauled the company’s own goods needs the same things as anyone: the title in the business’s name and someone able to sign for it.
Fleet sizes vary across Galena: in FMCSA’s census the three biggest registered operators field 53, 50 and 34 power units, with 24, 47 and 18 drivers. Owners retiring several units at once can send one list of VINs and we work through them together.
A median 2019 model year across eighty inspected trucks
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 80 trucks from carriers around Galena, with a median model year of 2019 and 27.5 percent of them ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, have the VIN and the odometer reading ready; those answer most of our first questions.
Mileage logs filed with FMCSA by 20 local carriers put the median at 11,806 miles per truck a year, and the same census shows 184 drivers working within 100 miles of home against 160 going farther. Short-haul and regional tractors alike can be collected from wherever they are parked between runs.
Construction crews and corn ground
Around Galena, 51 construction businesses appear in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, each a possible home for a dump truck or flatbed. A Galena contractor with a dump truck, flatbed or service-body truck parked between jobs can send photos and the title details, and we arrange collection from the job yard.
Out past Galena’s edge, corn, soybeans and cattle lead the 257 Floyd County farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallied. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked in a barn lot outside Galena can be picked up from the farm itself; just tell us whether the lane takes a tow rig.
Duplicate titles start on Charlestown Road in New Albany
Indiana titles are issued by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, which handles duplicate title applications through its BMV branches. For a Galena owner, that means a 7.7-mile drive to the New Albany branch at 2612 Charlestown Rd, New Albany, 47150, as the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles lists it.
Galena sellers who cannot find the title should start that duplicate request before we schedule collection. If the truck is titled to a business, bring proof that you can sign for the company, and if a lender is still on the title, have the lien release in hand.
