Crushed stone at Hayden, gravel near Columbus, cut block at Napoleon
Hayden Quarry, a crushed-stone operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 5.5 miles west of town, is the nearest pit to North Vernon. We collect Hayden stone trucks, dump bodies and tri-axles alike, at the quarry gate or at the owner’s yard. Tell us where yours is parked.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records US Aggregates-Columbus Plant 13.7 miles north-west and Spray Sand & Gravel 15.8 miles west, with the Columbus Plant sand and gravel site at 23.4 miles. If your truck hauled from one of these, send the VIN, a photo of the bed or body, and the plate number, and say which site it last worked.
Two dimension-stone listings, New Point Stone Co’s Napoleon Quarry and Napoleon Quarry itself, sit 21.4 miles north-east on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. A flatbed that carried cut block from Napoleon can stay wherever it is kept; we collect it there, so give us the address and the name of whoever holds the keys.
Manufacturing jobs and the general freight fleets
Of the 5,631 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place in North Vernon for 2023, manufacturing accounts for 1,639, or 29.1 percent. On FMCSA’s carrier census, 47 of the town’s 169 active carriers list general freight. If yours is a box truck or a tractor that pulled vans on those plant runs, tell us which plant it served.
Transportation and warehousing holds 605 jobs, 10.7 percent of the total, in the same LEHD count from the Census Bureau. If your tractor or straight truck moved factory goods, have the Indiana title in your name, the current registration, and any service records together before you call, and the paperwork side of the sale goes in one sitting.
Private fleets, local radius and heavy haul
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 122 private fleets among North Vernon’s carriers, with 127 operating intrastate only and 42 crossing state lines. A truck from a private fleet is usually titled to the business, so bring along whoever can sign for the company, or a letter giving you that authority.
Drivers working within 100 miles of base number 440 on the federal carrier census, against 179 who go further. The same FMCSA census lists machinery and large objects as the cargo of 32 carriers, motor vehicles of 26, and passengers of 20. A lowboy tractor, a car hauler or a bus from one of those operations is collected where it is stored; photos of the deck, the hitch and each side help us plan the pickup.
At the top end, FMCSA’s carrier census puts one North Vernon fleet at 101 power units with 89 drivers and another at 92 units with 30 drivers. Whether you are selling one tractor or several units from a yard, list each VIN and where each one is parked, and we arrange the collection around that list.
Across 55 trucks inspected between October 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2019 for North Vernon. Of those 55 North Vernon trucks, the roadside inspection records class 36.4 percent as ten or more model years old.
Model years from 2019 back to much earlier models are all in that inspection record, and we buy across the range. Have the model year, make and engine listed when you contact us, along with the odometer reading, so we know exactly which truck we are talking about.
Bridges, the Seymour terminal and the training center
Around North Vernon the National Bridge Inventory lists 14 bridges; two carry load postings, and the inventory shows no clearance below 14 feet. Tell us the route to where the truck sits and mention any posted bridge on the way, and we plan the pickup with it in mind.
Eleven miles west of North Vernon, Seymour holds a petroleum product terminal on Energy Information Administration listings. Tankers and fuel trucks that load there are collected at the yard where they park, and a copy of the tank’s latest inspection certificate belongs in the paperwork you have ready.
Six miles east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center as a military installation. If your truck sits on a lot near Muscatatuck, check whether a gate pass is needed and let us know before the collection date.
Soybean fields, hog barns and building crews
Soybeans lead, then corn and hogs, across the 461 Jennings County farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A grain truck or livestock hauler kept on a farm here is picked up from the farm itself; send directions to the barn or shed along with the road address.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 42 construction establishments, and LEHD job counts put 534 construction jobs in North Vernon. Dump trucks, mixers and flatbeds from those crews often sit on job sites, so tell us which site and whether we need to call ahead to the foreman.
