Sell your semi truck for cash in Bardstown the easy and convenient way

Crushed stone comes out of Airport Road Quarry, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 4.6 miles west of Bardstown. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs stone out of that pit is often parked at the quarry yard or a contractor’s lot rather than in town, so give us that address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

Farther out, Bullitt County Stone Company sits 19.3 miles north-west and the Arcosa Brooks Plant #1682 industrial-mineral mine sits 21.2 miles north-west, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. If your truck splits its loads between those sites and Nelson County jobs, tell us where it sleeps on a weeknight, and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab so we can see the body it carries.

Corn leads, then cattle, then soybeans across the 1,241 Nelson County farms tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain hoppers, livestock trailers and the tractors that pull them often stay on the farm between harvests, and we can collect from a barn lot or a field road as long as you tell us how to reach it.

Among Bardstown carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 56 list farm supplies as a cargo and 51 list grain, feed and hay. For a farm truck, have the title in the name of whoever is selling, and if the truck is registered to the farm rather than to you, bring the paperwork that shows you can sign for it.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 323 active carriers based in Bardstown: 260 operate intrastate, 63 cross state lines and 241 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet’s straight truck or tractor is usually titled to the business, so have someone with authority to sign ready when we arrange the pickup.

Of the drivers those carriers report, 1,091 work within 100 miles and 429 go beyond it, according to the same FMCSA census. On FMCSA’s cargo listings, general freight is named by 124 carriers and machinery or large objects by 106, a mix that covers flatbeds, lowboys and the tractors that pull them; tell us the trailer type if it is part of the sale.

For the 70 carriers that report mileage on FMCSA’s census, the median is 12,480 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer and send it with the VIN when you first contact us, and we will start from those two numbers.

By the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, Bardstown workplaces held 14,170 jobs, and 4,297 of them, 30.3 percent, were in manufacturing. A box truck or tractor tied to a plant dock may be parked inside a fenced yard, so tell us whose lot it is on and who can let us through the gate.

That same LEHD release puts 666 jobs in wholesale trade and 425 in transportation and warehousing. If your truck has worked deliveries for one of those employers and you hold it in your own name, have the title, current registration and any service records together before we arrive.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 83 construction establishments in Bardstown’s area, and LEHD counts 880 construction jobs, 6.2 percent of the local total. Dump trucks, stake beds and the pickups that pull equipment trailers often sit at a job site, and we can collect there if the site is open.

If a contractor’s truck is registered to the company, the title must be signed by someone the company names. Send photos of the cab, the frame and anything mounted on it, such as a crane or a dump body, so we know what we are coming to load.

Across 364 Bardstown-carrier trucks stopped between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2019, with 31 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the year on yours, the steps are the same: VIN, odometer, photos and the title.

Fort Knox is 24.2 miles west of Bardstown, per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If you are posted there or moving away and the truck stays in Nelson County, leave it where it is parked, give us a contact who can open the gate, and finish the sale from wherever you are.

• My dump truck is parked at the quarry on Airport Road. Will you load it out of the quarry yard itself?Airport Road Quarry is 4.6 miles west of Bardstown on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and we collect at the quarry yard. Give us the quarry office contact so the collection is set for a time the yard is open to us.
• Our grain truck carries the farm’s name on the Kentucky title instead of mine; who signs?Nelson County has 1,241 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and many trucks there are titled to the farm. The person the farm names as able to sign must sign the title, so have them available when we set up the collection.
• I’m stationed at Fort Knox and the truck is back in Bardstown. Does someone have to meet you in Nelson County?Fort Knox sits 24.2 miles west of town by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ measure, and you can sell without coming back. Name someone who can give us access to the truck, and sign the title where you are.
