Hauling corn, soybeans and feed out of New Carlisle
If your truck is a grain hauler or a farm-supply straight truck, tell us the body type and the trailer it usually pulls when you first get in touch, and send a photo of the body and hitch alongside the cab.
Around New Carlisle and across the rest of the county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 547 farms, with corn, soybeans and hogs at the top of the list. A truck that spends harvest at a farm lane or a bin site can be collected from there; give us the farm address and say whether a carrier can turn around in the yard.
Machinery and large objects appear as cargo for 8 New Carlisle carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and general freight for 10. Lowboy tractors and heavy-haul units belong on the list of what we purchase, so mention the fifth wheel setup and axle count when you describe yours.
A manufacturing town on the jobs map
Box trucks and tractors that shuttle parts or finished goods for a plant usually sit in a fenced lot between runs; if yours does, tell us the gate hours and who can let a driver in.
Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies used on building sites can be picked up from the job site or the contractor’s yard, whichever is easier for you, as long as the keys and title are ready on the day.
Sand pits, a rail yard and fuel terminals east of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists South Bend Sandpit, a sand and gravel operation about 10.1 miles south-east of New Carlisle, and Landmark Materials, another sand and gravel site 16.7 miles to the south. Tri-axle dumps and end dumps that run aggregate from pits like these are trucks we buy; send pictures of the bed, the hoist and the tarp system with your description.
East of town, the North American Rail Network shows the OLIVERS rail yard roughly 11.5 miles out. Drayage tractors working between a rail yard and local shippers often keep their logbooks and service history in the cab, so pull those out before pickup and keep them with the title.
Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration listings, SOUTH BEND at 13.5 miles east and GRANGER at 20.5 miles east. If your tractor pulled a fuel tanker to those racks, let us know whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you, so the pickup plan covers the right equipment.
Toll Road clearance
A low eastbound interstate overpass near New Carlisle
Six bridges are recorded near New Carlisle in the National Bridge Inventory, none of them load-posted. The National Bridge Inventory lists one under fourteen feet, structure 047500, carrying I-90 eastbound over CR 900 E at a thirteen-foot-eight clearance.
That overpass matters when we route a carrier to your truck on the county roads. If the truck is parked on or near that county road, say so in your message, so the driver brings the truck out by a road without the low span.
Whatever the model year, have the VIN, the odometer reading and the registration to hand when you contact us.
Among the 10 local carriers that report mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median runs to 31,625 miles a truck each year. Keep the service records you have with the title and hand them over at pickup.
Owner operators to fleets
Single trucks and whole fleets from St. Joseph County
Private fleets make up 36 of New Carlisle’s 48 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, with 32 working intrastate only and 16 crossing state lines. A farm, plant or contractor that runs its own trucks can sell one unit or several; list each VIN and where each one is parked.
A carrier retiring part of a fleet that size can hand us the trucks in one visit, so group the titles and keys together before the date.
A missing Indiana title is replaced through the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, whose BMV branches handle duplicate title applications. The nearest is the La Porte branch at 1301 Pine Lake Rd, La Porte, 46350, about 13.3 miles from New Carlisle.
Start the duplicate before you call us if the title is gone, and bring the registration and your ID to the branch. If a lender is still listed on the title, get the lien release from them as well, so the paperwork is complete when the truck leaves.
