Carrier census, Georgetown IN
Forty-two private fleets and the rest for hire
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 53 active motor carriers based in Georgetown, and 42 of them run as private fleets moving their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your truck belongs to one of those private operations, have the title in the business name ready along with the registration, so the paperwork matches the company that owns it.
Of those 53, the federal census lists 24 cleared for interstate work and 29 that stay inside Indiana. A tractor with interstate authority behind it may carry a different registration file from a local straight truck; whichever you hold, send the registration card with your photos and we will read the plate details from it.
New registrations have been few: FMCSA records 5 carriers added in Georgetown in 2024 and 1 in 2025. If yours is one of those newer outfits and the truck came with recent service invoices, keep them together, since a short ownership history is easiest to show with the receipts in hand.
What Floyd County loads
From dry vans to log trailers in Georgetown
General freight is the cargo most often declared here, with 19 Georgetown carriers listing it in the FMCSA census, and 11 list machinery and large objects. Box trucks, dry vans and lowboy tractors fit those two lines of work; tell us which body or trailer the unit runs with so we know what we are collecting.
Nine local carriers name farm supplies and eight name logs, poles, beams and lumber, according to the same federal register. A log truck or a feed hauler often sits on a farm lane or a woodlot rather than a paved yard, so describe the ground and the gate when you send the address.
The largest fleet registered in town runs 27 power units with 94 drivers, per FMCSA, and the next two run 14 and 10 units. Whether you are selling one truck from a fleet that size or the only one you own, a VIN and an odometer photo for each unit are the first things we ask for.
Tank racks east
The fuel terminals east of town
The Energy Information Administration lists the KENTUCKIANA petroleum product terminal 7.2 miles east of Georgetown, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the TransMontaigne Partners liquid bulk terminal at the same distance. Tank tractors that load at those racks may be parked near them between runs; we can collect from there if you tell us who controls the lot.
Drivers who pull fuel tankers usually keep loading records and annual inspection reports in the cab. Gather those with the title before pickup; they let us confirm what the tractor was set up to pull without a second visit east of town.
Sand pits and stone quarries
Gravel south-east, crushed stone toward Corydon
Mine Safety and Health Administration records show the imi New Albany Sand & Gravel operation 7.9 miles south-east of Georgetown and IMI Corydon Stone & Asphalt Co., a crushed-stone quarry, 10.6 miles west. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that work those sites are the kind of equipment we collect, and we can arrange pickup at a quarry gate if the operator allows it.
Farther west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Davis Crushed Stone, another crushed-stone quarry, at 11.5 miles. If your dump truck is parked at a quarry rather than at home, give us the site contact and the hours the gate is open, plus a photo of the bed and the hoist.
Yards and the Ohio port
Yards at Jeffersonville and the Southern Indiana port
On the North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the JEFFERSONVILLE rail yard lies 11.4 miles east and the MGRI yard 15.3 miles east. Tractors that shuttle loads to and from those yards can be picked up wherever they are staged; send the street address and a name to ask for on site.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Southern Indiana District port 22.3 miles west of Georgetown. A truck that hauls to the river docks does not need to come back into town to be sold; tell us where it is parked and we come to it.
Jobs, farms, radius
Construction, farms and short hauls
Of 583 jobs counted in Georgetown for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, 90 sat in construction, which works out to 15.4 percent. Across the area, 24 construction establishments appear in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns for Georgetown. Contractors selling a dump truck, flatbed or service body should send the title, registration and a photo of the equipment mounted on the chassis.
Floyd County’s 257 farms, per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, grow mainly corn and soybeans and raise cattle. A grain truck or livestock hauler kept on a farm can be collected right there; a recent registration and the title in the farm or owner’s name are what we need.
FMCSA’s carrier census reports 82 drivers from Georgetown carriers working within 100 air miles and 119 working beyond that radius. For the 12 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median is 40,469 miles a truck per year. Note your truck’s odometer reading in the first message either way; it helps us match the right paperwork to the unit.
