West of town by 11.6 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the US Aggregates-Columbus Plant as a crushed-stone quarry. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls from that pit is often parked at the plant gate or a contractor’s lot between loads, so give us that address rather than your home address when you ask for a pickup.
Head east about 14 miles toward Napoleon and the Mine Safety and Health Administration records three operations: Napoleon Quarry for crushed stone, plus New Point Stone Co - Napoleon Quarry and a second Napoleon Quarry entry for dimension stone at 14.1 miles. Flatbeds that carry cut block from those sites can be sold from wherever they sit; send photos of the deck, the tie-down points and the cab, and tell us which quarry the truck has been serving.
If your truck moves stone from these pits to job sites for one of them, keep the registration in the cab and have the VIN written down before you call.
Two rail yards named HONDA PLANT and HONDA AUTOLOAD sit 12.8 and 13.5 miles north of Westport on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tractors that shuttle parts or vehicles to and from those yards are welcome here, day cab or sleeper.
If your rig works the autoload yard, tell us whether it is usually dropped there or brought back to Westport at night. We collect from either spot, and knowing which one ahead of time keeps the visit simple for you.
Nine miles south, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center as a military installation. A box truck or straight truck that delivers to the training center can be collected off base at a yard in Westport; tell us where it is kept and whether a gate pass is needed to reach it.
Farther out, at 17.6 miles to the south-west, the Energy Information Administration shows a petroleum product terminal at SEYMOUR. Tank wagons and fuel tractors loading there qualify too; tell us the tank’s capacity and compartment count along with the VIN so we know the full unit when we arrive.
A farm or contractor who owns one or two trucks is the usual seller here, and one truck is enough to start a conversation with us.
FMCSA’s carrier census puts 13 of those outfits on Hoosier roads only, with 4 crossing state lines. Interstate trucks carry a USDOT number on the door; have the number and the cab card handy, since the registration on file has to match the title you sign over.
In that same FMCSA census, general freight leads the listed cargo at 9 carriers, machinery and large objects follow at 6, and farm supplies and logs or lumber each show 4. A lowboy tractor that moves equipment or a log truck with a loader both fit what we collect from sellers in this town.
Drivers for Westport carriers mostly stay near home: 23 work inside a hundred-mile radius and 9 go farther, per FMCSA’s carrier census. For most local sellers, that means the truck is at home or at a nearby farm or yard on a weekend, and that is where we come to load it.
For a long-haul sleeper that is rarely in town, pick a day it will be parked in Westport and tell us. Photos of the odometer, the VIN plate and each side of the truck let us set up the collection before it leaves again.
Corn, hogs, beans
Around Westport, the farm ground of Decatur County holds 552 farms according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and corn, hogs and soybeans head the county’s list. Grain trucks, hopper tractors and livestock haulers parked in a barn lot can be collected right there; give us the farm address and the lane in.
A truck kept for harvest often sits titled to the farm or to one family member. Check whose name is on the title before you call, and if more than one person signed for it, plan for each of them to sign when the truck changes hands.
The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues duplicate titles through its BMV branches, and the North Vernon branch at 612 Buckeye St, North Vernon, 47265 sits 12 miles from Westport. Bring your ID and the VIN there to apply for a replacement if the original is lost.
A lien on the truck has to be released before ownership can move. If a bank or lender still shows on the certificate, get the release letter first, then send us a photo of the title front and back so we can confirm the names before pickup.
