Huntingburg’s own-goods haulers and for-hire outfits
Sixty-six of the 86 Huntingburg carriers on FMCSA’s census move their own product in private fleets, the trucks of a factory, a feed mill or a farm rather than a for-hire outfit. If your tractor or straight truck belongs to a business like that, have the title in the company name and a contact who can sign for it before you reach out.
Forty-eight local carriers stay inside Indiana’s borders while 38 run interstate, a split the federal motor carrier census records for this town. An intrastate truck is usually parked within the county when we collect it; an interstate unit may be out on a run, so tell us where it will be sitting on the day you want it gone.
Three fleets here are sizeable on FMCSA’s census: one with 174 power units and 137 drivers, one with 76 units and 90 drivers, and one with 44 units and 40 drivers. If you are clearing several trucks from a yard of that size, a list of VINs and where each one is parked lets us plan the collection in one visit.
Machinery, grain and lumber loads
General freight is the most common cargo among Huntingburg carriers, with 33 of them listing it on FMCSA’s census, followed by 24 that move machinery and large objects. A lowboy tractor or a heavy-spec day cab from that second group is a truck we buy; send photos of the fifth wheel and the trailer connections along with the cab.
Fifteen local carriers list grain, feed and hay, and another 15 list logs, poles, beams and lumber, per the federal carrier census. Grain trucks and log trucks often sit on a farm lane or at a woodlot between seasons, so give us the address and say whether the ground is firm enough for a tow vehicle.
Hog barns and grain bins around town
On the 740 Dubois County farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, the top products are corn first, soybeans second and hogs third. A farm truck that hauled grain to an elevator or livestock to market can be sold from the barn where it is kept; we come to it.
A hog hauler or grain truck kept on a Dubois County farm sells on a title carrying the seller’s name, plates or not. If the title went missing in a farmhouse move or was never transferred from a parent, Indiana’s title agency issues replacements, and starting that request before you call us keeps the sale moving.
The mill, the yard and the coal fields
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Huntingburg Mill, an industrial-mineral operation 0.6 miles north-west of town, and two coal mines, Log Creek Surface and Charter #1, about 16 miles west. Dump trucks and haulers that worked those sites are welcome; send any site inspection or maintenance logs you kept along with the photos.
On the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the HUNTINGBURG yard lies 1.3 miles east of town and Oakland City Junction 18.5 miles west. A truck that shuttled loads to either yard can be collected from wherever it is parked now, whether that is a rail-side lot or your own driveway.
Further west, Francisco Mine and Columbia Maintenance Services, both coal preparation plants about 25 miles out on the MSHA list, sit near the Princeton RP truck terminal, a petroleum product terminal the Energy Information Administration places 23.5 miles away. A tanker or dump truck parked out that way stays where it is; give us the address and we go to it.
Factories, warehouses and the trucks inspected here
Manufacturing accounts for 1,259 of Huntingburg’s 3,705 jobs, about 34 percent, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, with wholesale trade at 327 and transportation and warehousing at 168. Box trucks and tractors serving plants and distribution floors are on our list; the registration and any service records are what to have ready.
Construction holds 154 local jobs on the LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 34 construction establishments. A contractor’s dump truck or flatbed can be picked up from the job yard, so long as someone can open the gate.
Across 231 Huntingburg trucks stopped at roadside between September 2024 and August 2026, the median model year was 2020 and 27 percent were ten or more years old, per FMCSA inspection records. Whatever the model year, the VIN and a clear set of photos are the first two things we ask for.
The questions we get asked in Huntingburg

- Our grain truck sits by the bins on a farm outside Huntingburg. Will your crew pick it up at the bins?Dubois County has 740 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and grain trucks parked on any of them can be picked up there; have the title in your name ready.
- My dump truck is parked near Log Creek Surface west of Huntingburg. Do I have to haul it to Huntingburg before you take it?Log Creek Surface and Charter #1 sit about 16 miles west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration list, and we come to the truck there; tell us who controls site access.
