Gravel pits and quarries west of Whiteland
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists IMI Greenwood Sand & Gravel 8.8 miles west of town and Beaver Materials at 10.1 miles, also west. Dump trucks and tri-axles that load at pits like these are among what we buy, so tell us which pit the truck ran out of and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab.
Further out to the north-west, Harding Street Quarry sits 11.8 miles away and the Kentucky Avenue Mine 13.7 miles away, both crushed-stone quarries on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If a stone hauler is still parked at a quarry yard, give us the gate contact and the hours the site is open, and we plan the collection around the site’s rules.
Riverside Aggregates & Materials, an industrial-mineral mine 10.3 miles north-west according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, rounds out the pits near Whiteland. Have the title and current registration in hand before you call; a quarry truck that changed hands between operators may carry an older title, and the state’s title agency is where a replacement starts.
Freight, reefer and private fleets in Whiteland
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 267 active carriers here, and 201 of them list general freight among their cargo. Box trucks and tractors pulling dry vans fit that picture, and both are trucks we purchase whether you run one unit or several.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 64 local carriers hauling refrigerated food, 64 hauling meat and 58 carrying fresh produce. If you are selling a reefer tractor or a straight truck with a cold box, list the reefer unit’s make and hours alongside the truck’s VIN when you send the photos.
Of those carriers, 193 run interstate and 74 stay intrastate, while 67 are private fleets hauling their own goods, per the FMCSA census. A private fleet selling a truck it no longer needs should have someone with signing authority on the title ready to complete the paperwork.
Local radius and long-haul lanes from Whiteland
Carriers registered with FMCSA here report 312 drivers working within 100 miles and 482 working beyond that radius. A long-haul tractor may be out of state when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked between loads and we arrange the pickup there.
For Whiteland, FMCSA mileage filings from 125 carriers put the median truck at 69,543 miles a year, so bring the odometer reading and service records when you contact us; they let us match the truck to its description before anyone travels to see it.
New registrations keep arriving: the FMCSA carrier census shows 31 new carriers in 2024 and 32 in 2025. An owner-operator who started in one of those years and is now stepping back can sell a single truck to us just as a larger fleet can.
Model years and fleet sizes behind Whiteland’s trucks
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA cover 310 trucks tied to carriers here, checked between October 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2020. Send us the model year, engine and transmission with the VIN and we can tell you what else we need.
Trucks ten or more model years old made up 17.7 percent of the Whiteland group in FMCSA’s roadside inspection records, and we buy across model years, so a 2020 sleeper and an older day cab from the same yard can be handled in one conversation.
The three biggest fleets on the carrier census run 53, 41 and 37 power units, with 42, 52 and 37 drivers respectively, by FMCSA’s figures. Selling several units at once is straightforward; list each VIN with its title status and where each truck is parked.
Building trades and the farms of Johnson County
Construction accounts for 215 of the 1,568 jobs located here in 2023, or 13.7 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 38 construction establishments. Flatbeds, dump trucks and equipment haulers from contractors are trucks we purchase; have the registration and any DOT inspection paperwork with the title.
Transportation and warehousing holds 99 of those jobs, a 6.3 percent share in the LEHD counts for 2023. If a delivery truck has worked out of a local warehouse, note whether it has a liftgate and send a photo of the cargo area.
Corn, soybeans and wheat lead the 520 Johnson County farms tallied by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and the grain trucks and tractors that haul those crops to elevators are part of what we buy; one parked in a machine shed or at a field edge is fine for collection.
Rail yards to the north, Shelbyville to the east
The North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Hill rail yard 13.4 miles north and the Hawthorne yard 13.8 miles north. A tractor that shuttled freight to or from those yards can be collected wherever it now sits, so give us the street address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
To the east, NG Shelbyville is a military installation 14.1 miles from town on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list. If your truck is stored near a site with controlled access, tell us ahead so the pickup is arranged with the people who can let us in.
The questions we get asked in Whiteland
- My dump truck is still sitting at a gravel pit west of Whiteland; will you pick it up from the pit?Pits such as Beaver Materials, 10.1 miles west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, are the kind of site we collect from. Give us the pit’s name, the gate contact and its hours, and we plan around them.
- The title for my Whiteland truck has gone missing, so what is the first step?Indiana’s title agency issues replacement titles, and that request is the first step. Tell us the truck’s VIN and that the title is being replaced, and we will tell you what else to have ready.
- My Whiteland tractor is somewhere out on the interstate right now; must it be driven back home before you collect it?Of Whiteland’s carriers, FMCSA’s census lists 482 drivers working beyond 100 miles, so trucks here are often away from home. Tell us where it will be parked and we arrange the collection at that spot.
