Two quarries just outside town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Bowling Green South Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 3.6 miles north-west of the city. Dump trucks and tractors pulling end-dumps that load at a pit like that can be collected right at the yard where they sit; send us the quarry gate address and the name of whoever holds the key.
Bowling Green North Quarry lies 7.8 miles north-east, by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing. If your rig shuttled aggregate between the north and south pits, put the title and current registration in the cab before we arrive, and photograph the body and hoist as well as the tractor so both halves of the unit are on record.
Memphis Junction, Bristow and the tank terminal
Memphis Junction sits 3.2 miles south-west of town and Bristow 4.5 miles north-east, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that drayed loads to either yard is a straightforward collection: tell us which yard it usually parks near and we route the pickup there.
Out at 11.8 miles south-west, RJ Corman runs a liquid bulk terminal that the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. Tank-pulling tractors from that run should come with any site clearance sheets or wash-out tickets you still keep, plus the VIN; those papers let us match the truck to the work you describe.
Factories
Manufacturing payrolls and the freight they ship
Manufacturing held 11,530 jobs, 18.7 percent of the 61,726 counted around Bowling Green in 2023, per the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. For a box truck or day cab that shuttled parts between plant docks, the service records and the registration card are the two documents to find first.
That same LEHD tally puts wholesale trade at 2,175 jobs and transportation and warehousing at 1,945. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 11 warehousing establishments. If your truck parks behind one of those buildings, clear it with the property manager so our driver can reach it, and send us their contact.
General freight, machinery and grain haulers on the FMCSA roster
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 1,129 active carriers here: 392 cross state lines, 737 stay inside Kentucky, and 610 operate as private fleets. Whichever group you belong to, the paperwork we need is the same: a title in your name or your company’s name, plus photos of the cab, frame, tires and fifth wheel.
Within that FMCSA roster, 567 carriers list general freight, 228 haul machinery and large objects, and 146 each carry farm supplies or grain, feed and hay. Another 61 carriers registered in 2025 after 65 in 2024, by the same census. A new operator selling a first truck should have the bill of sale from the purchase on hand alongside the title.
Bowling Green’s top three fleets field 198, 152 and 148 power units apiece under the FMCSA census. If you are selling several units at once, send a list of VINs with each unit’s yard location, and we will plan the pickups as one job.
Bowling Green model years on the inspection log
Between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records logged 1,556 trucks tied to Bowling Green carriers, with a median model year of 2018 and 36.6 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the model year on your title, read it off the door jamb sticker and include it with the VIN when you first contact us.
Among the 270 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 27,071 miles per truck. A current odometer photo, taken with the key on, answers the first question we ask about any tractor or straight truck.
Farms and building
Corn, soybeans, cattle and construction crews
Corn, soybeans and cattle lead the output of Warren County’s 1,530 farms, as tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and livestock haulers parked at a barn or field edge can stay put; give us directions to the farm lane and tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a tow rig.
Construction accounts for 1,456 jobs under the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts, and County Business Patterns lists 237 construction establishments in the area. Dump trucks, flatbeds and lowboys from those contractors sell the same way as any other unit: title, registration, photos and the jobsite or shop address where the truck now waits.

- My dump truck sits at the South Quarry gate; does it have to come into Bowling Green first?Leave it parked inside the South Quarry gate. The Mine Safety and Health Administration places Bowling Green South Quarry 3.6 miles north-west of the city, and we collect from the quarry yard; just tell us who can let our driver through the gate.
- I pulled tankers out of the RJ Corman terminal; which papers go with the tractor?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists that liquid bulk terminal 11.8 miles south-west of Bowling Green; send the VIN, the title and any terminal clearance paperwork, and photos of the tractor and the coupling.
- My grain truck is on a Warren County farm; will your driver come out to the field?Our tow rig comes out to the barn or field. With 1,530 farms in the county on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, plenty of trucks live on farm lanes; send directions from the nearest paved road and a phone number for whoever is on the property.
