Vans, lowboys and hoppers out of Hancock County’s seat
General freight is the cargo 142 of Greenfield’s 354 active operators name in FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck is a van or straight truck from one of those outfits, have the title, the current registration and a few clear photos of the box and cab ready before you call us.
Machinery and large objects are claimed by 84 Greenfield carriers in the FMCSA census, with 45 listing logs, poles, beams and lumber. Lowboys, step-decks and flatbed tractors that move that kind of load are trucks we buy; tell us the trailer setup and whether the tractor is sold with or without it.
Grain, feed and hay show up for 38 local carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census. A grain tractor or a hopper-bodied straight truck parked at a farm outside town can stay right there, and we will arrange collection at that address.
Private fleets, intrastate work and long runs
Of the 354 Greenfield operators FMCSA counts, 262 run intrastate only, 92 cross state lines, and 231 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck owned by a contractor, a plant or a farm rather than a for-hire carrier is bought the same way, with the registered owner’s signature on the title.
Those same FMCSA filings show 1,022 drivers working within 100 miles and 2,692 going beyond that radius. If your rig is out on a route when you decide to sell, give us the town it will finish in and a date it will be parked, and we plan the pickup around the truck rather than your home address.
Among the 75 Greenfield carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median runs to 29,844 miles per truck a year. Have the current odometer reading and the VIN to hand when you first get in touch; most of what we ask after that follows from those two.
Median 2022: the Greenfield roadside fleet
FMCSA roadside inspection records for Greenfield cover 1,405 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, and the median model year among them is 2022. Whatever year yours is, the registration card and title should show the same VIN as the door plate, so check that before we arrive.
Only 4.77 percent of those 1,405 Greenfield trucks, per FMCSA roadside inspection records, dated back ten model years or further. Older or newer, bring any service or inspection paperwork you kept, since it gives us the truck’s working history alongside the photos.
Federal filings show the three biggest Greenfield fleets running 2,458, 354 and 66 power units, and the FMCSA census also logs 17 new carriers registered in 2025 after 12 in 2024. Whether you are an owner-operator with one tractor or a fleet manager clearing out several units, each truck goes through its own title transfer, so gather a title per vehicle.
Dump trucks around the Hancock County aggregate sites
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the 750 North sand and gravel operation 11.2 miles south toward Shelbyville and the Marlin Rd Mine 12.1 miles to the south-west. A tri-axle or tandem dump truck that has hauled out of either pit can be collected from the yard where it sits, as long as someone can let us through the gate.
North of town, MSHA records place Pendleton Quarry 16.8 miles away and IMI Stony Creek Stone Co 19.1 miles to the north-west, both crushed-stone operations. Photograph the bed, the hoist and the frame as well as the cab, and tell us whether the truck carries a plow mount or a tarp system.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau put 130 construction establishments in the area, and LEHD job counts show 343 construction jobs located in Greenfield. A contractor’s dump, roll-off or flatbed is something we take on; list any attachments that go with the truck so nothing is left out of the paperwork.
Rail and farm
Hawthorne, Hill and the corn and hog country
West of Greenfield, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the Hawthorne yard at 16.6 miles and the Hill yard at 18.2 miles. A day cab that shuttles freight to and from those yards can be picked up near the rail lot; tell us whose property it is on so access is arranged ahead of time.
Hancock County’s 505 farms grow mostly corn and soybeans and raise hogs, according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm tractor-trailers parked in a barn lot are all within reach; give us the farm address and a phone number for whoever is there that day.
Manufacturing accounts for 3,145 of the 14,179 jobs in Greenfield on the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD counts, beside 238 transportation and warehousing jobs and 232 in wholesale trade. If your box truck or tractor served a plant, its company-owned title still needs an authorized signature, so find out who in the business signs before we schedule the visit.
The questions we get asked in Greenfield
- My dump truck is at a gravel pit south of Greenfield. Must I haul it up from the Marlin Rd pit into Greenfield?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Marlin Rd Mine 12.1 miles south-west of Greenfield, and a truck parked at a pit like that is collected where it stands. Tell us the site name and who can open the gate.
- My truck is registered to a private fleet, not a trucking company. Is a plant-owned rig handled differently?FMCSA’s census shows 231 of Greenfield’s 354 active carriers are private fleets, and their trucks sell to us the same way as for-hire ones. The person authorized to sign for the business signs the title.
- Will you take a Greenfield tractor built back in 2015?Greenfield trucks checked in FMCSA roadside inspections between 2024 and 2026 had a median model year of 2022, and we buy across the whole range. Give us the year, the VIN and the odometer reading when you get in touch.
- My grain truck is on a farm in Hancock County. Do you collect from Hancock County farm lots?Hancock County has 505 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and collecting a truck from a farm lot is routine for us. Send the farm address and a contact who will be on site.
