Stone haulers between Scott County pits
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Scott County Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 6.7 miles east of town, and Aggrock Quarry 17.8 miles to the south. A dump truck or tri-axle that has spent its seasons hauling stone out of either pit is the kind of unit we collect, and it can stay at the quarry yard or your shop while we arrange pickup. Have the title, the registration card and a few photos of the body and chassis ready before you call.
Two sand and gravel operations sit north-west of Scottsburg on Mine Safety and Health Administration records: Spray Sand & Gravel at 20.9 miles and imi Brownstown Sand & Gravel at 21.7. If your truck is kept near either one, give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key, so the collection is planned around that site rather than around town.
The carriers based in Scott County’s seat
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 91 active carriers registered at Scottsburg addresses. Of those, the census lists 27 hauling general freight and 25 hauling machinery and large objects, so a lowboy tractor, a flatbed or a straight box truck from here all fit what we take. Bring the VIN and the odometer reading to the first conversation; most of our questions follow from those two.
Lumber is the third cargo line in FMCSA’s carrier census, where 15 Scottsburg carriers name logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 12 name farm supplies. A log truck or a feed hauler parked at a woodlot or a farm lane is still a pickup we can plan, provided you tell us how the ground is and whether a tow rig can reach it.
Short-haul and private fleets
Intrastate work dominates the register: 65 of the town’s carriers operate inside Indiana only and 26 cross state lines, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, which also counts 64 private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet truck usually carries the company’s name on the title, so the person who signs it over needs authority to sign for that business.
Drivers in FMCSA’s carrier census split 238 working within 100 miles of base and 101 going farther. FMCSA’s carrier census has mileage from 23 of the Scottsburg carriers, and half of their trucks log under 11,904 miles a year. Write down the current odometer figure and keep any service log to hand when you contact us.
What Scottsburg inspections show about build years
Federal roadside inspectors checked 43 Scottsburg-based trucks between September 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2018. On those FMCSA inspection records, 39.5 percent of the units were ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on your registration, send it with the VIN so we can confirm the build before we schedule anything.
Of the three biggest operators registered in town, FMCSA lists one with 76 power units and 64 drivers, another with 32 power units and 80 drivers, and a third with 22 power units and 20 drivers. If you manage a fleet of that size and are selling several trucks together, list each VIN and where each one is parked, and we will collect them as one job.
Scottsburg plants, builders and goat farms
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed 5,109 jobs in Scottsburg, with 998 of them, about 19.5 percent, in manufacturing. A box truck or tractor that has shuttled parts or finished goods between plants can be collected from a loading dock, as long as you clear the visit with the site’s shipping office first.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 25 construction establishments in the area, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 283 farms across Scott County, with corn, cattle and goats leading. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and contractors’ dump trucks all qualify; if a farm truck has sat in a barn, tell us so we can bring the right equipment to move it.
Fuel and paperwork
Tankers, the Seymour terminal and titles
Some 23.4 miles north of Scottsburg, Seymour has a petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list. A fuel tanker or a tractor that has pulled tank trailers off that rack is something we buy, and any terminal loading records you kept help show where the unit has worked.
If the Indiana title has gone missing, request a duplicate from the state’s title agency before the sale, since the signed title is what transfers the truck. New registrations keep arriving in town too: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 7 carriers starting up here in 2024 and 4 in 2025, and an owner-operator closing down a young authority sells the same way, with the title, the registration and photos.
The questions we get asked in Scottsburg
- My tri-axle sits at the stone quarry east of Scottsburg. Will your crew pick it up at the quarry gate itself?Scott County Quarry sits 6.7 miles east of Scottsburg on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from there directly. Tell us who runs the gate so the pickup is arranged with the site.
- Is a log truck that has hauled Scott County timber on your list?Logs, poles, beams and lumber are a listed cargo for 15 carriers in town on FMCSA’s carrier census, and log trucks are among the units we buy. Photos of the bunks, the cab and the VIN plate, plus the name on the Indiana title, are what to send first.
- The Scottsburg truck is titled to my company, not to me. Which person in the business signs the Indiana title over?FMCSA’s carrier census counts 64 private fleets among the carriers registered here, and for any of them the signature has to come from someone authorised to sign for the business named on the title.
