Tank trucks loading at the rack north-west of Milford
The Energy Information Administration places a petroleum product terminal called MILFORD INDIANA just 1.3 miles north-west of town. If your tank truck loads there, you can leave it parked at the rack yard or at home; we collect from wherever it sits, so give us that address and tell us whether a lowboy or a tow truck can get in beside it.
Twelve point eight miles south, toward Warsaw, the same federal energy agency lists a second product terminal, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records Asphalt Materials, a liquid bulk terminal, 12.9 miles south as well. A tractor or straight truck that has shuttled between these sites is one we buy; send the VIN, the tank’s capacity plate and any recent inspection sheets along with photos of each side.
Dump trucks from the New Paris Plant and the pit on the highway
Two sand and gravel operations show up in Mine Safety and Health Administration records within a short drive: the New Paris Plant, 2.3 miles north, and the US 33 Pit, 8.4 miles to the north-east. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump trailers that haul from those pits are welcome here; photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and include the registration with the photos.
On the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, construction accounted for 51 of the 981 jobs in Milford, or 5.2 percent, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 17 construction establishments. If your dump truck or flatbed works for one of those contractors, the contractor’s yard is a fine place for us to meet it.
Box trucks and flatbeds behind Milford’s plants
Manufacturing held 638 of Milford’s 981 jobs in 2023, a 65 percent share according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks, straight trucks and flatbeds that carry parts and finished goods between those plants are all trucks we take; a service log or the last annual inspection, kept with the title, answers most of our questions before we ask them.
For freight going out by rail, the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows a rail yard at Elkhart, 19.5 miles north-west. A day cab that shuttles loads up to that yard can be collected at the plant, at the yard or at your driveway in Milford, whichever is easiest for you.
General freight, grain and machinery haulers based in Milford
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 44 active carriers based in Milford: 21 list general freight, 12 grain, feed and hay, 10 farm supplies, and 10 machinery and large objects. Whichever of those your truck carries, tell us which trailer it pulls and what body it has, since a hopper, a lowboy and a dry van each call for different equipment on pickup day.
In that same federal census, 18 Milford carriers are authorised for interstate work, 26 stay intrastate, and 28 are private fleets hauling their own goods. FMCSA’s census shows the biggest single operation here fielding 15 power units and 13 drivers, with the next at 5 units and then 3, and we handle a single tractor the same way we handle several.
Twelve carriers in Milford reported mileage to FMCSA, and their median comes to 23,776 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer and photograph it along with the VIN plate; those two figures let us match your truck to its record in one step.
Hopper bottoms and hog trailers on Milford’s farm lanes
Kosciusko County holds 1,079 farms, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names corn, soybeans and hogs as its top products. Grain trucks, hopper-bottom trailers and livestock haulers around Milford are all trucks we buy, and if yours is parked in a field lane or beside a hog barn, we will meet it right there.
Farm-plated trucks still need a title in the seller’s name, so check that the name on it matches the farm or the person signing before we come out, and have the registration card with it.
Lincoln Avenue, Goshen
Duplicate paperwork from the BMV branch over in Goshen
Titles here come from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, which handles duplicates through its BMV branches. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles lists its Goshen branch at 740 W Lincoln Ave, Goshen, 46526, about 11.7 miles from Milford, and a lost title can be applied for there before you call us.
If a lender is still on the title, bring the lien release to the Goshen branch along with your duplicate application; a clean title in your name, plus the registration, is everything we need to complete the purchase when we arrive.
