Freight, machinery and grain haulers in Shelbyville

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 229 active carriers based in Shelbyville, and 84 of them mark general freight as a cargo they move. If your tractor has pulled dry vans or flatbeds for one of those outfits, have the title and current registration in your name before you call, and we can work from the VIN.

Machinery and large objects appear on 41 carrier registrations in the same federal census, while grain, feed and hay show on 39 and farm supplies on 27. Lowboys, heavy-haul tractors and grain trailers all fit what we collect, so tell us which of those your truck pulled and send photos of the deck or hopper along with the cab.

Of those 229 Shelbyville carriers, 169 are recorded by FMCSA as intrastate only, 60 run interstate, and 163 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the title; if the title is held by your business, have whoever signs for it available when we arrange the paperwork.

Gravel north of town, stone to the south-east

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the 750 North sand and gravel operation 6.4 miles north of Shelbyville and another sand and gravel site at Edinburgh, 14.6 miles south-west. Dump trucks and end-dumps that cycle between those pits may be parked at the operation itself, so give us the site address and a contact who can let us through the gate.

St Paul Stone Company’s crushed-stone quarry is 11.5 miles south-east, US Aggregates-Flat Rock Plant is 12.6 miles south, and Niles Stoneworks Quarry, a dimension-stone site, is 14.7 miles south-east, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck is kept at one of those quarries rather than in town, we come to it there; tell us which one and whether a loader is needed to move anything around it.

Construction accounted for 230 jobs located in Shelbyville in 2023 according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns counts 51 construction establishments. For a dump body or a mixer chassis, write down the body make and any hydraulic service notes you have, since those details go with the truck.

Rail and factory work

Manufacturing jobs and the Honda yards

Manufacturing held 3,673 of the 13,025 jobs located in Shelbyville in 2023, a 28.2 percent share in the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts, beside 606 jobs in transportation and warehousing and 376 in wholesale trade. Box trucks and day cabs that shuttle parts between plants are trucks we take, and a short list of the routes it ran helps us understand the unit.

On the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the HONDA AUTOLOAD yard sits 17.1 miles south-east of town and the HONDA PLANT yard 18.2 miles out in the same direction. A tractor that has worked those yards may still be staged nearby; send the address where it sits, and the pickup is planned around that spot.

Shelby County cropland

Corn, soybeans and the farm trucks behind them

Across Shelby County, 548 farms grow mainly corn, then soybeans and wheat, in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and tandem hoppers often sit in a barn lot between harvests, and that is a fine place for us to collect one; just make sure the lane is passable.

Farm-plated trucks sometimes carry a title that was never moved out of a parent’s or a partnership’s name. Sort that out with the state’s title agency before you call, or tell us who holds the title, and bring along whatever grain-elevator scale tickets or service receipts you have kept.

Inspected Shelby County rigs, their miles and fleet counts

Roadside inspection records from FMCSA, covering 102 trucks inspected between September 2024 and August 2026, give a median model year of 2018.5 for Shelbyville-based units, with 30.4 percent of them ten or more years old. Whatever the year on yours, have the VIN, odometer reading and engine model written down for the first call.

Among the 43 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median works out to 14,286 miles per truck. The federal census also puts 550 Shelbyville drivers inside a 100-mile radius and 241 beyond it, so a local unit may never have left central Indiana while a long-haul one could be anywhere; tell us where it is today.

The three biggest carriers here, by FMCSA’s census, run 241, 45 and 34 power units with 221, 34 and 27 drivers. If you are clearing several trucks from a fleet that size, send a list with VINs and locations, and we can collect them together rather than one at a time. Newly registered Shelbyville carriers numbered 10 in 2025 and 4 in 2024 on FMCSA’s census, so younger outfits selling a first truck are part of the mix too.

Load limits and gates

Posted spans and rural addresses near Shelbyville

Of 37 Shelbyville-area bridges in the National Bridge Inventory, 4 carry load postings and not one has clearance below 14 feet. If your truck is parked on a road that crosses one of the posted spans, mention it so we can plan the route a heavy unit takes out.

NG Shelbyville, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 2.9 miles north-west of town, is one of the landmarks people use to describe a rural address here. Give us a street address or GPS pin where the truck sits, plus any gate code, and we will route to it directly.

The questions we get asked in Shelbyville

  • Our tri-axle dump sits inside St Paul Stone Company’s quarry; does it have to come into Shelbyville first?St Paul Stone Company’s crushed-stone quarry is 11.5 miles south-east of Shelbyville on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from the quarry itself. Arrange gate access with the site and tell us where on the property the truck is parked.
  • The grain truck’s title is in our family farm’s name, so who has to sign?Shelby County has 548 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and plenty of their trucks are titled to a farm partnership or estate. Whoever is named on the title signs, so bring that person in, or settle the name with the state’s title agency first.
  • We’re retiring four tractors from a Shelbyville fleet at once; is one collection possible?FMCSA’s census shows local fleets of 241, 45 and 34 power units, so multi-truck sales are familiar work here. Send the VINs and where each truck is parked, and we will plan one collection.
  • My tractor is staged near the Honda rail yards south-east of town, so is that where you collect it?The HONDA AUTOLOAD and HONDA PLANT yards lie 17.1 and 18.2 miles south-east of Shelbyville on the North American Rail Network, and we come to wherever the tractor is staged, in town or near those yards.
