Fuel racks out west
Two fuel terminals under six miles west of Meridian Hills
The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals, one named INDIANAPOLIS and one named ZIONSVILLE, each 5.7 miles west of Meridian Hills. If your tanker or tractor loads at either gate, tell us which one and where the rig is parked between runs; our driver plans for that address.
A tractor that pulls fuel trailers out of those west-side terminals should come with its registration, the VIN and any service records you keep in the cab. Send photos of both sides, the dash and the fifth wheel before anyone heads out to Meridian Hills.
Carmel gravel and Noblesville stone up the road
Carmel Sand & Gravel sits 6.1 miles north-east of town in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine listings, and the same federal agency records Noblesville Stone, a crushed-stone quarry, 10.6 miles out in that direction. Dump trucks, end dumps and tri-axles that work those pits are welcome here, whether yours sits at the pit, at a yard or in a driveway.
If your dump truck is kept at the Carmel or Noblesville site, send us that location along with the title. We arrange the pickup around the gate hours you give us.
South to the yards
Yards and a container ramp below Meridian Hills
South of Meridian Hills, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the STATE STREET rail yard 8.7 miles away and the TRANSFER yard at 9.2 miles. Day cabs that shuttle between those yards can be collected from a terminal lot as easily as from home; just name the lot.
Container work points the same way: the Indianapolis rail intermodal ramp lies 9.6 miles south in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, and that agency also lists the NG Indianapolis 38 ID military installation 10.6 miles to the south-west. If your tractor has pulled chassis off that ramp, give us the VIN and the odometer reading first and the remaining questions follow from those.
North-side BMV
The Indianapolis - North branch for lost titles
Duplicate titles in this state come from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and its nearest office is the Indianapolis - North branch at 2670 Lake Circle Drive, Indianapolis, 46268, which the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 3.2 miles from Meridian Hills. Lost the paper? Apply for the duplicate there before the pickup date.
Bring the VIN, your registration and an ID to that branch; BMV branches are where Indiana title work is handled for owners on this part of the north side. Once the duplicate is in hand, the sale of your truck can go ahead with the title signed over at collection.
A small north-side workforce and Marion farm ground
Workplaces in Meridian Hills held 586 jobs in 2023 according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), a modest total for a town of 1,767 residents. Owner-operators who live here and run their trucks elsewhere can still sell from this address; tell us whether the truck is at home or at work.
Farm country is close too: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 169 farms across Marion County, where soybeans, corn and potted flowering plants lead the list. Grain trucks and box trucks that haul for those growers are part of what we buy, and a few clear photos plus the title are enough to start.
The questions we get asked in Meridian Hills
- The title to my Meridian Hills rig is missing; which Indianapolis office should I visit?The Indianapolis - North branch of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, at 2670 Lake Circle Drive, is 3.2 miles from town and handles duplicate title applications.
- Can you collect a dump truck kept at a quarry rather than my house?Quarries such as Noblesville Stone, 10.6 miles north-east on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, are a fine place to collect from; give us the site address and any gate rules.
- What should I send first about a tractor that runs to the rail yards?Tractors working the STATE STREET and TRANSFER yards south of town should start with the VIN, the odometer reading, the title and photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel.
