Hauling cut stone and aggregate out of Lowell and South Lake
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists South Lake Stone, a dimension-stone quarry 8.2 miles north of Roselawn. A dump truck or flatbed that has carried cut stone out of that pit can be sold from the quarry lot itself; tell us the gate contact and the hours the site is open so the collection fits around the loading schedule.
About 10 miles to the north-west, US Aggregates-Lowell Quarry appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone operation. If your tri-axle or end dump hauls aggregate from Lowell, have the title and the current registration in the cab, and photograph the bed, the hoist and the door plates along with the VIN tag.
Freight, farm loads and heavy machinery on Roselawn authorities
Of the 93 active carriers based around Roselawn, FMCSA’s carrier census shows 31 hauling general freight and 27 moving machinery and large objects. A lowboy or a step-deck tractor that has moved equipment between farms and job sites is exactly what we collect; note the trailer type and the hitch when you send us the details.
Grain, feed and hay are on the authority of 24 local carriers, and farm supplies on 18, according to that same federal census. Hopper-bottom tractors and straight trucks with grain boxes often sit at a farmstead between seasons, so give us the farm road address and tell us whether the yard is firm enough for a rollback in wet weather.
FMCSA’s carrier census puts 65 of those carriers in intrastate-only work and 28 crossing state lines, while 59 run private fleets that carry their own goods. If your truck stayed inside Indiana under a private fleet, bring the Indiana registration and any annual inspection sheets kept with the unit.
Grain trucks parked in Newton County machine sheds
Corn leads the Newton County crop list ahead of soybeans and wheat, across the 372 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies in the county. A grain truck that works those three harvests is usually parked in a machine shed off a county road rather than at a terminal, and we come out to that shed.
When the truck belongs to a family farm operation, check whose name is on the title before you call. If the title went missing in a move or an estate, the state’s title agency issues a replacement; start that request early, and have the title in the seller’s name before collection.
What Indiana roadside inspectors saw on Roselawn trucks
Thirty-three Roselawn-based trucks were pulled in for checks between September 2024 and August 2026, and their middle model year lands on 2015 in FMCSA roadside inspection records. Whatever the year on your tractor, have the VIN and the odometer reading ready, since those two details let us identify the exact build and engine.
Just over half of those Roselawn units, 54.55 percent, carried a model year a decade or more back, going by the same FMCSA roadside inspection records. Older and newer units are both on our list; service invoices, DOT inspection sheets and clear photos of the cab, frame and tires give us the full picture of a truck from either group.
Single rigs and small fleets
Owner-operators and the mid-sized outfits beside them
The three largest fleets on file with FMCSA’s carrier census in Roselawn run 19, 19 and 13 power units, and 2 new carriers registered there in 2024 and 2 more in 2025. Whether you are selling one tractor or several units from a fleet that size, list each VIN separately so every truck gets its own pickup plan.
Twenty-seven Roselawn carriers filed yearly mileage with FMCSA, putting a typical tractor here at 20,000 miles a year. On driver distance, the same federal census lists 151 drivers working within 100 miles and 102 going beyond that, so a truck may be parked at a home in Roselawn or at a yard elsewhere along its route; give us the address where it sits today.
Contractors and town jobs
Dump bodies and service trucks off Roselawn job yards
Forty-two construction businesses operate around Roselawn, a figure drawn from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A dump truck, a stake-bed or a service body truck coming off one of those contractors can be collected from the job yard; bring the title and tell us if any tools or equipment mounted on the body stay with the truck.
Roselawn itself held 512 jobs in 2023, a count that comes from the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). For a seller who works one of those jobs during the day, a truck parked at home can be picked up with a key left in a lockbox, as long as you tell us where the key will be and who to phone on arrival.
