Asphalt, fuel and gravel within a few miles of town
Six miles west of Pierceton, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Asphalt Materials as a liquid bulk terminal, 6.3 miles out, and the Energy Information Administration places the WARSAW petroleum product terminal at 6.4 miles in the same direction. A tanker or asphalt distributor that loads at either site is likely parked near town between runs, so tell us whether we will find it at your yard or at the terminal lot.
The Warsaw Plant, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration records 10.9 miles north-west, and the Disko Plant, which that agency places 18.2 miles south-west, both put dump trucks on local roads. If your dump truck hauls from either pit, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, along with the VIN, so we know what we are coming to see.
Farther out, the IMI Huntington Quarry sits 24.5 miles south-east by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, and the Energy Information Administration shows the MILFORD INDIANA petroleum product terminal 18 miles to the north-west. A truck that splits its week between those points can be collected wherever it ends the day; give us that address when you reach out.
Manufacturing holds 73.7 percent of the work located in Pierceton, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Box trucks, flatbeds and day cabs that shuttle parts between plants in town are all on our list; gather the registration and any service records before you call.
The LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 968 of the town’s 1,314 positions in 2023 in factory work. If your truck serves a plant on a fixed route, tell us which lot it is kept in, at the plant or at your place, so we come to the right address.
A business truck owned by a company that is not a trucking firm still sells the same way: the title in the company’s name, a signature from someone authorised to sign it, and the VIN.
Of those operators, 37 work only inside Indiana and 13 cross state lines, per the same FMCSA carrier census. An intrastate truck is usually close to home when we arrive, while an interstate tractor may be out on a load, so tell us when it will be back in Pierceton.
General freight is listed by 13 local carriers in FMCSA’s census, logs, poles, beams and lumber by 10, machinery and large objects by 8, and farm supplies by 7. Log trucks, lowboys and stake beds all fit what we purchase, and so do the trailers that go with them if you want to sell the pair.
Short local routes beside longer hauls
Drivers working within a hundred-mile radius number 93 on the FMCSA carrier census for Pierceton, against 49 who run beyond it. A local truck tends to be in town on weekends and evenings, which is when many owners here find it easiest to let us look it over.
Whatever the odometer reads, send it with the VIN and a few clear photos; those two numbers answer most of what we need to ask first.
The three biggest operators in town run 20, 14 and 13 power units, with 11, 12 and 13 drivers, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Selling one truck out of a group, or several at once, is handled the same way; list each VIN and where each one is kept.
We buy trucks from every model year, 2007 builds and newer ones alike.
About 69 percent of those inspected trucks were ten or more years old, by FMCSA’s roadside inspection records. Keep any inspection reports you have in the folder with the title and registration, whatever year your truck was built.
Grain trucks, livestock haulers and feed trucks from those operations are equipment we buy, and a farm truck parked in a machine shed off a gravel lane is no obstacle to collecting it.
A dump truck or flatbed that switches between field work at harvest and jobsite work in summer can be described just as it is used; tell us both jobs so we know the body and equipment on it.
If the title is missing, start the duplicate application there before we schedule collection.
Bring the truck’s VIN, your registration and identification to the Warsaw BMV branch, since the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues the replacement in the owner’s name. Once the new title is in hand, a photo of it with the truck’s photos is all we need to move forward.
