Brown County hardwood
Nashville’s poles, beams and sawlogs on the move
Of the 97 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census lists in Nashville, 29 report hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber, the most common cargo line among them. If you run a log truck or a flatbed that has carried timber out of the Brown County hills, send us photos of the bunks, stakes or loader along with the cab, and tell us which trailer goes with the tractor.
A log truck parked at a landing up a hill road is still a truck we collect. Give us the gravel lane or the property address, say whether a lowboy or a tow truck can turn around there, and have the title and registration in your hand when we arrive.
Machinery, large objects and general freight
Twenty-seven Nashville outfits tell FMCSA’s carrier census they move machinery and large objects, while 23 list general freight beside it. A lowboy tractor, a rollback or a straight truck that has moved equipment between job sites is the kind of unit we buy, with or without its trailer.
Builders around Nashville run 25 construction establishments across Brown County, per the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your truck has served builders here, put the VIN, the odometer reading and any service records together before you call, so the first conversation covers the truck itself.
Dimension stone west, gravel east
Dump work from Adams Quarry to the Columbus Plant
To the east, the Columbus Plant, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists, sits 16.2 miles from Nashville; west of town the same agency places Arlington Hills Quarry, a dimension-stone site, 16.9 miles away. Dump trucks and tri-axles working either direction can be collected from the yard where they are kept, not from the pit.
South-west, Blackwell Limestone Products LLC runs a crushed-stone quarry 17.6 miles out and Adams Quarry cuts dimension stone at 17.9 miles, on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists Bloomington Underground Mine, another crushed-stone site, 20.8 miles west, and Morgan County Sand & Gravel Plant 18.3 miles north-west. Tell us which of these your truck hauled from, and send photos of the bed and tailgate with the rest.
Ninety-one carriers that keep to Indiana roads
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 91 of the 97 Nashville carriers running intrastate only, against 6 that cross state lines, and 79 operating as private fleets that haul their own goods. For a seller here that usually means one owner, one truck and the paperwork in a kitchen drawer: find the title, the current registration and the last inspection sheet before we talk.
Among the 14 local carriers reporting annual mileage to FMCSA, the median is 10,000 miles a truck. The largest fleet based here lists 74 power units and 62 drivers in FMCSA’s census, the next two 8 and 7 units, so if you are selling several trucks at once, list each VIN and where each one is parked.
Soybean and feeder ground
Feed, grain and stock hauling from Brown County farms
Brown County had 157 farms when USDA took its 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and cattle the leading products. Twelve Nashville carriers in FMCSA’s census list farm supplies as cargo, so grain trucks, stock trailers’ tractors and feed haulers all fit what we purchase.
A farm truck often sits in a barn lot or a field edge between seasons. Tell us the farm address, whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck, and whose name is on the title if the truck is registered to the farm rather than to you.
A Brown County title, half a mile away
A missing title is handled by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, which issues duplicates through its BMV branches. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles places its Nashville branch at 106 Hawthorne Dr, Nashville, 47448, half a mile from the centre of town, and a replacement can be requested there without leaving Nashville.
Bring your registration and identification to that branch, and if a lender held the truck, bring the lien release too. Tell us when you apply, and we can arrange the collection around the date the duplicate title reaches you.
Work around the base and the town’s jobs
North-east of Nashville by 11.9 miles, NG Camp Atterbury appears as a military installation in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. If your truck is parked on that side of the county, near the base road, give us the nearest crossroads and a phone number for whoever can meet the driver.
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,310 jobs in Nashville, 71 of them in manufacturing, a 3.1 percent share. FMCSA’s carrier census recorded 6 new carriers registering here in 2025 after none in 2024; whether you are one of the newcomers or have run here for decades, the steps to sell are the same: VIN, photos, title, location.
The questions we get asked in Nashville
- My dump truck is kept near the quarry west of Nashville. Must the dump truck be hauled to Nashville before you collect it?Arlington Hills Quarry sits 16.9 miles west of Nashville on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from wherever the truck is kept out that way. Pass along that Brown County yard’s address plus a contact who can unlock it for our driver.
- Where in Nashville can a missing log-truck title be replaced?Nashville’s own Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch is at 106 Hawthorne Dr, half a mile from town, and duplicate titles are issued through BMV branches. Apply there, then tell us the date you expect it.
- Is a corn or livestock hauler from a Brown County farm one you would collect?Brown County’s 157 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture raise mostly corn, soybeans and cattle, and grain and livestock trucks from them are trucks we buy. Send photos of the bed or body, the VIN and the farm address.
- Is an Indiana-only intrastate truck from Nashville something you collect?Ninety-one of Nashville’s 97 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census run intrastate only, so an Indiana-only truck is the usual case here. Have the Indiana registration and title ready and we handle the rest.
