Freight on the rails
HOOSIER LIFT, two miles east of Remington
A tractor that shuttles loads between a Remington farm and either yard is the kind of truck we come out to collect, so give us the yard or the farm lane where it is parked.
Trucks that work short runs to a rail yard often sit at a shed or a grain site rather than a shop. Send the address where yours stands, a few clear photos of the cab, frame and tires, and the VIN, and we can plan the pickup from there.
Quarries west, east and south-east of town
Newton County Quarry lies 13.6 miles west of Remington and US Aggregates-Monon Quarry 14.1 miles east, both crushed-stone operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run stone out of either pit are welcome here; tell us which quarry yours served and what body it carries.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists US Aggregates-Swisher Plant at 24.1 miles south-east and Carroll County Sand & Gravel at 24.7 miles in the same direction. A truck kept at one of those sand and gravel sites can be collected right where it stands, with no trip back toward Remington.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 36 active carriers based in Remington, with 13 hauling general freight, 13 hauling grain, feed and hay, 8 carrying farm supplies and 6 moving machinery and large objects. Hopper-bottom trailers, flatbeds and day cabs all fit that mix, and we take each of them.
Half of those carriers, 18, run interstate and the other 18 stay intrastate, while 19 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. A farm or business that keeps a truck for its own loads can sell it to us just as a for-hire operator can; have the title and current registration in hand.
From a single tractor to a fleet yard
The three biggest Remington fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census run 46 power units with 59 drivers, 31 units with 31 drivers, and 24 units with 14 drivers. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a yard like those, list each VIN and where each unit sits so we can arrange collection in one plan.
FMCSA’s census also records one new carrier registering in Remington in 2025 and two in 2024. Across 13 carriers reporting mileage, the median truck covered 12,551 miles a year under that same federal census, and an odometer reading for your truck is one of the first details we ask for.
Of the drivers counted by FMCSA for Remington carriers, 100 work within a hundred-mile radius and 129 range beyond it. A truck that comes home to town each night and one that is out on a long run can both be picked up; tell us where it will be on the day.
We buy across that whole range of years.
Whatever the year on your title, the details we want are the same: make, model, model year, VIN and odometer. If you have service records or recent inspection reports, send them along with the photos.
Another 160 were in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting and 133 in manufacturing, by the same LEHD figures.
Dairy, corn and hogs lead the 608 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted across Jasper County. Milk tankers, grain trucks and livestock haulers kept on a farm outside Remington can be collected right from the farmyard.
A dump truck or flatbed kept by a small builder near Remington fits what we purchase, and a phone call with the VIN is the place to start.
The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues duplicate titles through its BMV branches, and the nearest to Remington is the Rensselaer branch at 646 S College Ave, Rensselaer, 47978, 11.3 miles from town. If the title to your truck has gone missing, a trip there to apply for a duplicate is the first step.
Bring the VIN, your registration and identification to the Rensselaer branch, and let us know when the duplicate application is in. Once the title is in your name and in hand, the rest of the sale can move ahead.
