Rock trucks between the Napoleon pits and the Versailles quarry
Records from the Mine Safety and Health Administration place the Napoleon Quarry, worked for both crushed stone and dimension stone, 5.3 miles north of Osgood, with New Point Stone Co listed at the same site. A dump truck or tractor that has spent its days on that short run up the road is the kind of rig we collect from a yard in town or from the quarry gate itself. Tell us which of the two spots the truck sits at so the pickup goes to the right place.
Going the other way, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Versailles Quarry 6.9 miles south of town. For a truck that serves both quarries, clear photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate are the place to start. Keep the registration with the truck so it travels with the photos.
Soybean, corn and hog loads off the farms near Osgood
Around Osgood and across the rest of Ripley County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 835 farms, with soybeans, corn and hogs leading the list. Straight trucks and hoppers that carry grain at harvest often spend the rest of the year in a shed on a farm lane. We come to the farm, so give us the road name and say whether the truck is reachable by a tow rig.
Of the 58 active carriers listed in FMCSA’s carrier census for Osgood, 14 haul grain, feed or hay and 15 carry farm supplies. If your truck was registered for farm use, send a photo of that registration along with the title; it shows us how the truck has been plated.
Equipment loads
Lowboy tractors and freight vans parked in Osgood yards
Machinery and large objects account for 18 of the town’s carriers in FMCSA’s census, close behind the 21 that list general freight. Lowboys, flatbeds and the tractors that pull them fit what we buy; send a picture of the trailer deck alongside the tractor if both are for sale.
Private fleets make up 47 of those 58 carriers, according to the federal carrier census, and 37 operate intrastate only against 21 crossing state lines. A truck that served a farm or business’s own hauling usually has its service records in a drawer at that business; pull them together before you call and we can go through them with you.
Osgood drivers who stay inside the hundred-mile circle
Within a 100-mile radius, FMCSA’s carrier census lists 115 drivers working out of Osgood, while 49 range beyond that distance. For most sellers here, that means the truck is parked near home between local runs, which makes a collection simple to arrange around your schedule.
Across the twenty-five Osgood carriers that filed annual mileage with FMCSA, the middle figure came to 10,000 miles a truck. Read the odometer and copy down the VIN off the door jamb before you reach out to us.
One Osgood fleet registers 42 power units with 19 drivers in the federal census, another 27 power units with 44 drivers. If you are clearing several trucks at once, list each VIN and where it is parked, and we will plan one visit for the group.
A missing certificate and the BMV office up in Batesville
The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues duplicate titles through its BMV branches, and the closest to Osgood is the Batesville branch at 1132 Tekulve Rd Ste 3, Batesville, 47006, about 12.6 miles away. If the title has gone missing, apply for the duplicate there before the pickup date.
Bring your registration and photo ID to the Batesville counter, and check that the name on the application matches the name on the registration. Once the duplicate arrives, a photo of it is all we need to start.
Muscatatuck, the Honda rail yards and New Trenton
Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies 13.5 miles west of Osgood, a short drive from town. A truck parked on a property out that way is still within easy reach for us; give us the address and any gate or access details.
Rail yards named HONDA PLANT and HONDA AUTOLOAD sit 20.6 and 21.8 miles to the north-west on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The New Trenton Pit, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration list, lies 24.5 miles north-east. Trucks based near either one can be collected where they stand.
For the local work picture, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 637 jobs in Osgood in 2023, with manufacturing holding 87 of them, or 13.7 percent. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 14 construction establishments, the kind of outfits that run dump trucks and flatbeds through these roads.
