Mine roads by Gibson South
Gibson South and the coal haul east toward Francisco
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Gibson South, a coal mine, about 2.5 miles north-west of Owensville. A tractor or dump truck that works that site is usually parked close to home, and we collect from the farm lot, the driveway or the yard where it sits between shifts.
Heading east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records the Francisco Underground Pit at 14.7 miles, with the Francisco Mine and Columbia Maintenance Services, both coal preparation plants, at roughly 15.6 to 15.9 miles out. If your truck runs between these sites, send the VIN, a few photos of the cab and frame, and the address where it can be reached, and we plan the pickup from there.
West of town, Griffin Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings as a sand and gravel operation 12.8 miles away. Aggregate trucks from that direction are welcome too; tell us whether the truck is at the pit, at a shop or at your house.
East on the rail
Toyota Autoload, the plant yard and the Princeton terminal
Two Toyota yards show up on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: Toyota Autoload at 7.6 miles east and Toyota Plant at 8.4 miles east of Owensville. Trucks that shuttle parts or equipment toward that side of the county are often stored near the route, and we can meet the truck wherever it is kept.
Further along the same heading, the Princeton RP Truck Terminal is a petroleum product terminal that the Energy Information Administration places 17.5 miles east. Owners of fuel or tank units serving it should have the registration and any terminal or inspection paperwork together before we schedule collection.
Replacing a lost certificate eight miles away in Princeton
Titles in Indiana come from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and its closest BMV branch to Owensville is the Princeton office at 405 W State St Ste 3, Princeton, 47670, about 8.8 miles away. If the certificate is missing, the agency offers a duplicate title application, and that branch is where an owner here would go to file it in person.
Bring photo identification and the VIN to the Princeton branch, and if a lender once held the truck, bring the lien release as well. With a clean title in hand, the sale itself is a matter of signatures when we arrive.
Hopper, flatbed and lowboy work registered in Owensville
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 27 active carriers based in Owensville, with general freight named by 13 of them and grain, feed and hay, farm supplies, and large machinery each named by 8. That mix means hopper trailers, flatbeds and lowboy rigs are as likely to come to us from here as van tractors are.
Of those 27 registered operations, 14 are listed for interstate work and 13 for intrastate, while 17 carry a private-fleet registration, per the federal carrier census. A private-fleet truck owned by a farm or contractor can be sold the same way as a for-hire unit; the title holder simply signs it over.
Fleet sizes in the federal carrier census range from a single operation with 38 power units and 38 drivers down to outfits running 4 or 5 trucks. Whether you are selling one tractor or several, list each VIN so every unit is accounted for on the day.
How far Owensville trucks travel and what they log
Among drivers registered with local carriers, FMCSA counts 64 who stay inside a hundred-mile radius and 53 who range beyond it. A truck that works short local runs and one that leaves the state each week are both trucks we collect; just tell us where it will be parked.
Owensville’s thirteen mileage-reporting carriers put a median of 23,800 miles on each truck a year, according to FMCSA, so have the current odometer figure ready alongside the VIN when you reach out.
Roadside inspections between September 2024 and August 2026, per FMCSA roadside inspection records, covered 31 trucks tied to Owensville carriers; their median model year is 2020, and about 29 percent were ten or more model years old. Every model year on that list is one we buy.
Barn lots, hog barns and Owensville’s builders
Around Owensville, the farm count reported by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture is 477 for Gibson County, with corn, soybeans and hogs leading the list. Grain trucks and livestock haulers tied to those operations often sit in a barn lot between seasons, and that is a fine place for us to pick one up.
Six construction establishments appear for the Owensville area in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and their dump trucks, flatbeds and work trucks can be sold with the title, registration and a set of clear photos.
