Woodburn II, Martin Pit and Stone-Street tri-axles
Just 3.8 miles below Woodburn, the crushed-stone pit called Woodburn II appears on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s roll of active mines. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that runs stone out of that pit is often parked near the scale house or at the owner’s yard between loads, so tell us which spot to send our driver to.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Ardmore Stone Quarry 19 miles west, Martin Pit 16.7 miles north-west and Stone-Street Quarries 17 miles south-west, the last two being sand and gravel operations. If your truck has worked several of these pits, a short note of which ones helps us picture its routes before we see it.
Hopper trailers on eastern Allen County farm lanes
Around Woodburn the farm economy is broad: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,497 farms across Allen County, with corn, soybeans and hogs at the top of the list. Grain hoppers, livestock haulers and straight trucks that serve those farms are the kind of equipment we collect from barnyards and machine sheds.
Among the 37 active carriers based here on FMCSA’s carrier census, 14 list grain, feed and hay as cargo and 12 list farm supplies. If your truck sits on a farm lane, send photos of the cab, frame and tires plus the VIN plate, and let us know if a gate or soft ground stands between the road and the truck.
Machinery haulers and local operators
Machinery and large objects appear on 14 carrier registrations in FMCSA’s carrier census for the town, and 12 more list general freight. A lowboy tractor or a flatbed truck that moved combines and equipment can be sold with or without its trailer; tell us which you want to include.
Private fleets account for 26 of those registrations, against 17 interstate and 20 intrastate operations in the same federal census. A farm or contractor that runs its own trucks rather than hauling for hire should have the registration card and any service records ready, since those answer most of our questions about the unit.
The three biggest local fleets hold 10, 8 and 7 power units according to FMCSA in that federal census, all of them small operations. Across 11 carriers reporting mileage, the median truck covered 19,945 miles a year in that census.
East Wayne yard
Rail yards and a bulk terminal to the west
Eleven miles west, the North American Rail Network maps the East Wayne rail yard, with the Fort Wayne yard at 13.4 miles. A day cab that shuttles freight between Woodburn and those yards is a truck we buy, and we can collect it at a yard lot if that is where it is parked.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, 14 miles west, and Fort Wayne IAP-2, a military installation, 19.6 miles south-west. If your tractor has pulled tank trailers into that terminal, include any site inspection paperwork you kept along with the title.
Hauling on the local payroll
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 348 jobs in Woodburn, and transportation and warehousing holds 86 of them, a 24.7 percent share. A truck owned by someone on one of those payrolls, kept on the side, is one we collect too.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 34 construction establishments, and FMCSA’s census shows one new carrier registered in 2024 and one in 2025. Whether you are winding down a hauling business or selling a spare truck, have the title, registration and keys together before our driver arrives.
Duplicate titles out of the New Haven branch
A missing title is handled by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and the closest office is the New Haven BMV branch at 820 Lincoln Highway West, New Haven, 46774, about 10.5 miles from town. Apply there for a duplicate title before pickup, or tell us early so we can plan around it.
If a lender is still listed on the title, bring the lien release with you to New Haven. Matching names on the title, the registration and your ID makes the handover at the truck simple.
