Quarries west toward Russellville and east toward Franklin
Russellville Quarry & Mill lies 9 miles west of Auburn and Franklin Quarry & Mill sits 9.2 miles east, both crushed-stone operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine register. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs aggregate out of either pit may well be parked at the quarry gate or a contractor’s lot when we arrive, so give us that address rather than a home address in town.
If your truck has worked for one of those outfits, send photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate, and tell us which site it last worked so we can plan the route out to it.
RJ Corman’s terminal and the rail yards to the east
Five and a third miles east of Auburn, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places RJ Corman, a liquid bulk terminal. Tractors that pull tank trailers in and out of a site like that can be collected where they sit; tell us whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind.
Further out, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lists the MEMPHIS JCT rail yard 13.7 miles east and BRISTOW 21.4 miles north-east. If your rig has shuttled loads to either yard, have the registration and the last inspection report in the cab when we come for it.
Grain haulers around an Auburn farm road
Around Auburn, Logan County counts 1,017 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and wheat at the top of the list. A grain truck or hopper tractor from one of those operations is often kept in a machine shed or at the edge of a field, and we can come to the farm rather than ask you to bring it into town.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 33 Auburn-area carriers hauling grain, feed or hay and 27 carrying farm supplies. Whichever of those your truck has done, tell us the body type, the axle setup and the trailer if one goes with it, and keep the title with the registration so both are ready at pickup.
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 96 active carriers around Auburn: 66 operate intrastate, 30 cross state lines, and 72 are private fleets moving their own goods. In the same FMCSA census, 32 of those Auburn carriers list general freight and 27 list machinery or large objects; if yours moved equipment, tell us whether it is a flatbed, a lowboy or a box truck.
The three biggest local fleets in that census run 19, 16 and 12 power units, and seven new carriers registered in 2025 against two in 2024. A small fleet selling several units at once can send us one list of VINs and locations, and we will work through them together.
Whatever year yours is, the VIN and an odometer photo tell us most of what we need before we ask anything else.
If your truck covers short farm and quarry hauls like those, say so, and include service records if you kept them.
Titles in Kentucky are handled by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet through county clerk offices, and for Auburn that is the Logan County Clerk at 229 West Third Street, Russellville, 9.8 miles from town. A seller missing a title can apply for a replacement there before we schedule the pickup.
If your truck has been registered to a plant or business rather than to you, bring the business’s paperwork to the clerk’s counter along with your ID so the title transfers cleanly.
