Machinery and grain trucks out of Poseyville
Of the 32 Poseyville-area outfits still active in FMCSA’s carrier census, 14 mark machinery and oversized objects on their cargo lines. A lowboy tractor or a heavy-spec day cab from one of those outfits is the kind of truck we buy here. Have the registration and the title on hand, plus a photo of the data plate on the door jamb, and we can talk about the truck from the first call.
FMCSA’s carrier census also counts 13 local carriers on general freight, 11 on grain, feed and hay, and 7 on farm supplies. If your truck is a grain hopper tractor that spends harvest parked at a farm lane off town, tell us the lane and the nearest crossroads, and we collect it from the farm.
Sixteen of those carriers run interstate, sixteen stay inside Indiana, and 18 report private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA registrations. A farm or contractor that owns two or three trucks for its own work can sell one of them on its own, and the paperwork is the same as for a single owner-operator.
Gravel to the west, coal to the north-east
Seven miles out on the road west, the Griffin Plant digs sand and gravel under a Mine Safety and Health Administration permit. Dump trucks and tri-axles that load there often sit at the pit or at the owner’s yard between jobs. Tell us which one it is parked at and who holds the gate key, and the pickup is planned around that.
Gibson South, a coal mine on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, lies 10.2 miles to the north-east. If your truck served the mine site, send any site safety checks or service logs you kept along with the photos. They give us the truck’s working history in a way a picture alone cannot.
Further south, about 16.1 miles out, MSHA records the Quality Magnetite LLC mineral processing plant. A tractor that has run between the plant and the Ohio River terminals can be collected from either end; just give us the address where it sits today.
Rail and tank terminals south-east of town
Heading toward Evansville, a Poseyville driver reaches the HARWOOD rail yard after 14.7 miles, a site mapped in the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Trucks that shuttle loads to and from that yard are welcome, and a VIN plus a current odometer photo is the best place to start the conversation.
Just past it, the Energy Information Administration lists the EVANSVILLE petroleum product terminal at 16.9 miles, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records a liquid bulk terminal at 17.1 miles in the same direction. If you own a tanker tractor that pulls from those racks, include photos of the fifth wheel and the frame along with the cab, and mention the trailer if you plan to sell it too.
Logbooks from a Posey County farm town
Among 16 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median power unit covers 14,167 miles a year. That is a figure to have ready from your own logbook or ELD, since a yearly mileage record answers many of our questions at once.
FMCSA roadside inspection records from October 2024 to August 2026 cover 26 trucks from local carriers, and half of them carry a model year at least ten years old. Whatever the year on your title, send it with the VIN; older and newer units are handled the same way.
Poseyville’s top three outfits field 42, 33 and 27 power units against 40, 34 and 26 drivers on their FMCSA carrier census filings. A fleet manager selling several units at once can send one list of VINs and parking addresses instead of a call per truck.
A duplicate title four-tenths of a mile from the grain elevators
A lost title is replaced by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and its Poseyville BMV branch at 231 N St Francis Ave, Poseyville, 47633 is about 0.4 miles from the centre of town. Apply for the duplicate there before we collect, so the title in hand matches the name on the registration.
If the truck is titled to a farm partnership or a company rather than to you personally, bring proof that you can sign for it to that branch. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles sets what it needs, and sorting it there first keeps the sale from stalling at the signature line.
Corn, soybeans and the factory floor
Posey County holds 462 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and wheat as its leading crops. Grain trucks and farm-supply haulers from around Poseyville tend to be busiest at planting and harvest, so tell us when the truck is free and where it will be parked.
Manufacturing filled 68 of Poseyville’s 511 workplace positions in 2023, a 13.3 percent slice in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Builders show up too: a dozen construction establishments appear for the Poseyville area in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s dump truck or a plant’s yard tractor can be picked up on site; have the keys and the title in the same place on collection day.
The questions we get asked in Poseyville
- My tri-axle sits at the Griffin gravel pit outside Poseyville; can you pick it up there?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Griffin Plant about 7 miles west of town, and we can collect the truck right there. Give us the address and a contact who can let us through the gate.
- Lost the title to a truck kept in Poseyville; is there a branch in town to get a copy?Poseyville has its own Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch at 231 N St Francis Ave, about 0.4 miles from the centre of town, and duplicate titles are issued through the BMV. Start that application before you contact us.
- Do you take a grain truck that only works during harvest?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 11 carriers around Poseyville hauling grain, feed and hay, and trucks from that kind of seasonal work are ones we buy. Tell us the farm address and when the truck is idle.
- Can I sell a tanker tractor that runs out of the Evansville terminals?The EVANSVILLE petroleum product terminal sits 16.9 miles south-east of Poseyville on the Energy Information Administration’s list, and tractors that pull from it are part of what we purchase. Pair the VIN with the Indiana registration and pictures showing the cab and coupling.
