Aggregate loads leaving Albany’s two pits
Albany Quarry, a crushed-stone operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 1.5 miles north of town. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls from it can stay parked at the pit or in your yard; give us the exact spot and who can let us in, and the collection is planned around that.
Caldwell Quarry sits 4 miles north-west of Albany, the Mine Safety and Health Administration reports. If your truck loads aggregate there, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, plus the VIN; the body matters to us as much as the chassis.
Albany’s private and for-hire outfits
Albany has 185 active motor carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 149 of them run intrastate only while 36 cross state lines. For a Kentucky-only truck, the plates and the Kentucky registration are usually all the operating paperwork you need to gather; an interstate tractor should come with its cab card too.
Private fleets make up 123 of those carriers in the federal census, meaning businesses moving their own goods rather than hauling for hire. A farm or contractor truck sold from one of them is bought the same way as a for-hire rig: title in the owner’s name, keys, and an address where it sits.
The two biggest local fleets in FMCSA’s records run 23 and 22 power units, and the third runs 9. An outfit letting go of a handful of its Albany units can send one list: VIN, body type and yard address for each.
Commodity mix
Albany’s lumber, equipment and feed hauls
General freight is the cargo most Albany carriers list, 51 of them by FMCSA’s carrier census, with machinery and large objects at 44. A lowboy or step-deck that moves equipment should be described trailer and tractor separately; tell us whether you are selling both or only the tractor.
Farm supplies appear on 36 local carrier registrations and logs, poles, beams and lumber on 35, the census shows. Log trucks with a loader or bunks should be photographed with that equipment in view, and any service records for the loader belong with the title.
Clinton County counts 374 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and goats at the top. A cattle pot or grain truck that works those farms can be collected from the barn lot it stands on.
Ages on the inspection sheets
Sixty-four Albany-based trucks were stopped between August 2024 and August 2026 in FMCSA roadside inspection records; their median model year is 2013, and 59.4% had reached ten or more years. Whatever the year of yours, the registration and VIN tell us what we need to start.
Thirty-four Albany carriers file annual mileage with FMCSA, and their median truck covers 11,174 miles. Snap the cluster with the key on so the hours or miles show, and include it with the Clinton County title photo.
In the FMCSA filings, 234 drivers stay within a hundred-mile radius and 83 work beyond it. A truck that comes home every night is easy to find; one that is out on a long route can be collected wherever it finally parks.
For an Albany truck, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issues the title and leaves the counter work to county clerk offices. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet lists the Albany office as the Clinton County Clerk at 100 South Cross Street, Suite 103, Albany 42602, right in town.
If the title is lost, ask the Clinton County Clerk for a duplicate before we schedule the pickup. If a lender still holds a lien, bring the payoff letter or release so the title can be signed over cleanly.
Plants, wholesalers and builders
Manufacturing supplies 153 of Albany’s 1,431 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, about 10.7%, and wholesale trade 56. A box truck or straight truck that serves a plant or a distributor can be sold by the business that owns it; have someone with signing authority on the title available.
Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from a building outfit can be picked up from the jobsite or the shop.
The questions we get asked in Albany
- Our dump truck is parked at Albany Quarry for the season; can it stay there for pickup?Albany Quarry is 1.5 miles north of town by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, and we come to the truck there. Give us the gate contact and the spot it sits in.
