Quarry gates near Hanover
Hanover’s quarry roads
Drive 10.4 miles west of Hanover and you reach Scott County Quarry, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists as a crushed-stone producer. A dump truck or tractor that hauls aggregate out of that pit is often parked at the quarry gate or a contractor’s yard rather than in town, so tell us the exact spot and who holds the key when you get in touch.
Charlestown Quarry, also on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is 18.4 miles south-west. If your truck has been working stone runs between Charlestown and the Hanover area, send photos of the bed, the frame and the cab, plus the VIN, and we can plan collection at whichever site the truck stands on.
Jefferson County fleets at home
Thirteen private fleets, four other Hanover carriers
Hanover’s 17 active carriers include 13 private fleets moving their own goods, a split recorded in FMCSA’s carrier census. A business that keeps a few trucks for its own work can sell one or several; have the title for each unit and its registration together before we talk, so every truck is matched to its paperwork.
Of those carriers, 8 hold interstate authority and 9 work only inside Indiana, according to FMCSA’s census. Whether your truck crossed state lines on its routes or stayed within Jefferson County, the paperwork we ask for is the same: title, registration and any service records you kept.
The three biggest fleets registered here run 23, 14 and 6 power units on FMCSA’s figures, with 8, 14 and 6 drivers. A fleet owner retiring a handful of units at once can list them in one message with VINs and where each is parked, and we arrange the pickups together.
Feed, freight and machines
Cargo on Jefferson County roads
General freight is the commonest cargo among Hanover carriers, with 7 of them listing it in FMCSA’s carrier census, while 4 haul farm supplies and 4 move machinery and large objects. Box trucks, flatbeds and lowboy tractors all fit that mix; tell us the body type and the trailer, if it comes with one.
Three local carriers list liquids and gases in the federal census, so tankers are part of the Hanover picture as well. For a tank truck, have its tank inspection paperwork and registration ready beside the title, and note what product it last carried.
Drivers working for Hanover carriers mostly stay near base: FMCSA counts 48 driving within 100 miles and 10 going beyond that radius. A truck kept on local routes is usually parked at a home, shop or job site in the county, and we collect it from wherever it sits.
Nine carriers reported annual mileage in FMCSA’s carrier census, and their median comes to 10,000 miles per truck. Read the odometer and include that figure with your photos so the details we see match the truck when we arrive.
Fields and building
Farm and construction work
Jefferson County holds 513 farms, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names soybeans, corn and cattle as their top output around Hanover. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm tractors parked in a barn or field lane can be sold where they stand; give us directions to the field entrance and a phone number for whoever can meet us.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 6 construction establishments in Hanover, and the LEHD job counts put 58 of the town’s 1,169 jobs in 2023 in construction, a 5 percent share. Dump trucks and flatbeds from a building contractor are welcome; have the title in the company’s name and the registration on hand.
Title and the training center
A missing Indiana title, and trucks up north
A lost Indiana title is replaced through the state’s title agency, and it helps to start that request before the sale so the truck can change hands without a wait on paperwork. If a lender is still listed on the title, have the lien release with you as well.
Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, a military installation listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is 24 miles north of Hanover. If your truck is stored near there or anywhere else across the county line, give us the address and gate access details and we plan the collection around that location.
