Selling a truck in Hartford City? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Sand pits and stone quarries a short haul from the courthouse

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Grant County Sand and Gravel about 8.4 miles west of Hartford City and the IMI Montpelier Quarry, a crushed-stone site, roughly 8.9 miles to the north-east. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls from either one is often parked at the pit or the contractor’s yard rather than in town, so give us that address and we will collect it there.

East of town, Pennville Sand and Gravel is recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a crushed-stone quarry 13.5 miles away. If your truck has run aggregate between Pennville and job sites in Blackford County, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together with the title so we can see the whole unit before pickup is arranged.

The Muncie terminal and the rail yards to the south and west

A petroleum product terminal at Muncie sits 12.2 miles south of Hartford City on the Energy Information Administration’s list of fuel facilities. Owners of a tank truck or fuel tractor that loads there should keep the registration and any inspection sheets from that work in the cab and send copies with the photos.

On the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the EAST yard lies 17.6 miles south and the GOODMAN yard 19.7 miles west. A day cab that shuttles between a Blackford County shipper and either yard can be picked up wherever it is parked between runs; tell us which yard it serves so the visit is planned around that location.

Fifty-six outfits

Private fleets, grain and timber on the census rolls

Of the 56 active Hartford City carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 35 keep their loads inside Indiana and 21 haul across state lines. Thirty-eight are listed as private fleets, meaning companies moving their own goods, so a truck you sell may be titled to a farm, plant or contractor rather than to a trucking firm; bring the title in the name it was registered under.

General freight is the most common cargo, claimed by 18 carriers in the FMCSA carrier census, followed by farm supplies at 14, grain, feed and hay at 11, and logs, poles, beams and lumber at 10. The same FMCSA census shows one local fleet with 28 power units and 25 drivers, and the next two with 9 and 8 power units; whether you run one tractor or several, list each VIN when you contact us.

Barns and grain bins

Hog barns and bean fields off the county roads

Blackford County’s 217 farms raise mostly soybeans, corn and hogs, according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks, hopper trailers and livestock haulers from those operations usually sit in a barn or machine shed between harvests, and we collect from the farm itself once you send the location and the VIN.

If the farm truck carries a farm plate or was registered by the operation rather than a person, Indiana’s state title office handles a replacement title, and having that sorted before we come out keeps the collection simple. Photos of the grain box or the stock rack alongside the tractor help us understand how the unit was set up.

Factory floors and job sites

Plants and builders that keep trucks moving

The same LEHD figures put construction at 109 jobs and wholesale trade at 59; box trucks, flatbeds and tractors from plant shipping or wholesale delivery can be collected from the loading dock.

The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns records 15 construction establishments here. A contractor retiring a dump truck, a flatbed or a service body truck can have it collected from the job site or the shop lot, as long as the title and keys are on hand when we arrive.

Roadside inspection figures

FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 through August 2026 cover 37 trucks from carriers based here, with a median model year of 2017 and 43.2 percent of them ten or more years old. Whatever year your truck is, tell us the model year and the engine with your first message.

Among the 15 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median comes to 37,500 miles per truck a year. Have the current odometer reading ready along with the VIN, and add a note on any service records you keep, since those two numbers start every conversation we have about a truck.

Whoever is named on the title signs it over, and Indiana’s state title office handles a replacement if the original is lost.
