Riverfront outfits
Thirteen small fleets on the Campbell County riverfront
Across this small Ohio River town, 13 trucking outfits show as active in FMCSA’s carrier census, and the top three by equipment field just 3, 2 and 1 power units between them. Whatever the fleet size, have the title in your own name or the company’s, plus the current Kentucky registration, before you contact us.
Seven of those Bellevue carriers hold interstate authority and six operate intrastate only, according to the same FMCSA census, which also counts six private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet’s tractor or box truck is often titled to the parent business, so check whose name is on the title and bring a letter from an officer if the signer is not the owner on record.
New registrations stay modest: one carrier entered the FMCSA census in 2024 and one more in 2025. If yours is one of those recent outfits and the truck is still financed, tell us the lender’s name at the start so the lien release can be arranged alongside the paperwork.
Freight types filed
Dry vans, auto racks and drink trailers from Bellevue
General freight is the cargo nine Bellevue carriers list with FMCSA, so dry vans, box trucks and day cabs are the likely equipment here. Photograph the cab, both sides, the frame rails and the tires, and include the VIN plate, so we can match the truck to its title on the first look.
Three local carriers name motor vehicles as cargo and two name beverages in the FMCSA filings. Car-hauler rigs and beverage bay trailers have their own racks and doors, so send a clear picture of the body with the tractor and say whether the trailer is part of the sale.
Grain, feed and hay appear on the cargo lists of two Bellevue carriers, per FMCSA’s census, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 493 farms across Campbell County with cattle, corn and horses at the top. A grain truck or livestock-feed hauler parked on a county farm can be collected from that farm; give us the road address and a gate contact.
Yards and fuel racks
Two rail yards and two fuel terminals close by
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Ludlow rail yard 3.8 miles west of Bellevue and the DeCoursey yard 6.8 miles south. If your truck dray-hauls freight to or from either yard and is parked near one, we can pick it up there rather than in town.
Two petroleum product terminals in Covington sit 3.3 miles west and 3.6 miles south-west of Bellevue, on Energy Information Administration listings. A fuel tanker or delivery truck that loads at those racks should come with its tank inspection reports and hazmat placard records, since those papers travel with the vehicle when it changes hands.
Pits and stone
Aggregate sites about twenty miles out
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Belleview Sand & Gravel Inc 20.1 miles west of Bellevue and Petersburg Sand 21.6 miles west, both sand and gravel operations. Dump trucks and end-dumps that run those pits are often parked at the operation itself, so tell us which site holds yours and who can let us onto it.
To the south-east, MSHA records show two crushed-stone quarries: the Underground Black River Operation at 21.2 miles and Butler Quarry at 22.4 miles. For a quarry truck, keep the MSHA site inspection sheets and any service log with the title; they show where the truck worked without anyone needing to visit the pit first.
Jobs placed here
Contractors and wholesale trade in the 2023 job counts
Of the 1,514 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts placed in Bellevue for 2023, construction accounted for 121, or 8 percent, and wholesale trade for 110, or 7.3 percent. Contractors’ dump trucks, flatbeds and the straight trucks that move wholesale stock are the vehicles that fit those two sectors here.
Bellevue holds 14 construction businesses with a payroll, a count the Census Bureau publishes in County Business Patterns. If a contractor is retiring a truck from one of those firms, have the business title, the registration card and the name of whoever can sign for the company ready before we schedule a collection.
Long and short hauls
Over-the-road and local drivers on the Bellevue rolls
FMCSA’s census shows 19 drivers at Bellevue carriers working beyond a 100-mile radius and 5 staying within it. A long-haul tractor may be sitting at a terminal or a driver’s home outside Campbell County when you decide to sell, and we come to that location; send the address with your photos.
For the five drivers FMCSA counts on shorter local runs, the truck may sit at a Bellevue yard or a customer’s lot nearby. Either way, if the Kentucky title has gone missing, request a duplicate before we set a collection date, since the sale cannot close without it.
The questions we get asked in Bellevue
- Butler Quarry is where my end-dump is parked, south-east of town; can you collect it at the pit?Butler Quarry, 22.4 miles south-east on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, is the kind of site we collect from directly. Tell us the quarry, the spot where the truck sits and a contact who can open the gate.
- My Bellevue trucking business has a single tractor; is a one-unit seller someone you work with?One of the three biggest Bellevue fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census runs a single power unit, so a one-truck owner is typical here. Pass along the VIN, a set of photos and whose name is on the Kentucky title, and the first questions are answered.
- My tanker loads at the Covington racks; what documents should travel with it when it sells?The Energy Information Administration places those two Covington petroleum terminals 3.3 and 3.6 miles from Bellevue; for a tanker that works them, have the title, registration, tank test reports and hazmat records together.
