Ward Stone Tipton Quarry LLC, a crushed-stone quarry 5.1 miles south of Greentown, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine records. Dump trucks and tractors pulling end-dumps out of a pit that close to town are often parked at the quarry or at the owner’s yard rather than at home, so tell us which address the truck will be at when you call.
East of town, 8.8 miles out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Calcium Products Co as another crushed-stone quarry. If your truck has hauled aggregate from either site, have the title and registration together and send a few clear photos of the box, the cab and the VIN plate; that set lets us talk about your specific truck from the first message.
North and east pits
Pits and a fuel terminal toward Peru
Farther north, 20.4 miles from Greentown, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records PERU PLANT as a sand and gravel operation, and Grant County Sand and Gravel sits 22.7 miles to the east under the same agency’s listing. A truck working those pits may spend its week across the county line, and that is fine: we collect from wherever it is parked, in Howard County or out of it.
Fuel moves through PERU too, a petroleum product terminal the Energy Information Administration places 20.1 miles north-west of Greentown. Owners of a fuel tanker or a tractor that has loaded there can send us the tank and chassis details along with any inspection paperwork kept for the trailer, so we see the whole unit, not just the cab.
Grain haulers on the Greentown side of Howard County
Around Greentown the fields are planted in corn and soybeans, with hogs close behind; USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 427 farms across Howard County. Grain trucks, hopper tractors and livestock rigs that serve those farms often sit in a barn lot or machine shed between harvests, and we can pick one up right from the farm.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows seven local carriers registered for grain, feed and hay and three for farm supplies. If your truck is one of those, a list of what it hauled and any service records you kept make the conversation shorter, and photos taken in daylight outside the shed help more than photos taken inside it.
Hauling for their own
Of the 24 active carriers based here in FMCSA’s carrier census, 19 run private fleets and 21 operate intrastate only, against 3 that cross state lines. For a seller, that usually means one truck owned by a business that hauls its own goods, kept on its own property; give us that property’s address and the name on the title.
General freight is the most common cargo listed by the same federal census, with eight carriers, and three more carry liquids or gases. FMCSA’s carrier census puts the biggest fleets registered in town at 5, 4 and 1 power units. Whether you are selling one tractor or the whole set of five, send the VINs together and we will handle them as one pickup.
Greentown drivers mostly stay close: FMCSA’s records place 33 of them inside a hundred-mile radius and 14 beyond it. Note the odometer reading when you photograph the dash, so the figure you tell us matches the picture.
Goodman, Tipton and Grissom on the map around town
Two rail yards sit 14 miles out, GOODMAN to the east and TIPTON to the south-west, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor or straight truck that shuttles freight between those yards and Greentown can be collected at either end of that run.
Grissom ARB lies 15.8 miles north-west of town on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list of military installations. If your truck has done contract hauling to the base, mention it, and bring along any gate or site paperwork you still have; it fills in where the truck has been working.
Kokomo BMV
A missing title is handled by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles through its BMV branches; the nearest is the Kokomo branch at 192 E Southway Blvd, Kokomo, 46902, about 9.1 miles from Greentown. Apply there for a duplicate before we schedule the pickup, and keep the receipt if the new title has not arrived yet.
If your truck belongs to one of those businesses rather than to you personally, make sure the name on the title matches the seller and that whoever signs has the authority to do it.
