Grayson County
The quarry here works seven people, and the record puts it 125 miles away
The row attached to this town is a crushed-stone operation with seven people on the federal record, under a company that carries the town’s own name. Its county field says Grayson County. Its name says the same thing.
Its coordinates say Madison County, 124.85 miles from the centroid of the town it is named for.
That coordinate is not merely wrong; it is shared. Another quarry entirely — Park City Stone, which the state register places over at Cave City in Barren County — carries the identical point. Two operations cannot occupy one point, so at most one of the two coordinates belongs to its row and the other is a placeholder, most likely an office address or a county centroid picked up when the list was built.
And here nothing independent settles which is which
That is where this page differs from its twin. Park City Stone has an entry in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s source book, and a register that carries its own location can adjudicate between a row’s county field and its coordinates.
This row has no such entry. No state source-book record was found for it at all, so nothing independent adjudicates its location. What is left is the row’s own name and the county field, both pointing to Grayson County, against a coordinate pointing 125 miles east.
The name and the county field are almost certainly right. But that is a reasoned inference and not a measured fact, and this page says which it is. Across the whole node list 434 of 10,745 rows share a coordinate with at least one other row, in 182 groups, 32 of them spanning more than one county — so this is a known class of defect rather than a one-off.
Which is why the bridge numbers below belong to somebody else
It has a consequence you can check yourself. Bridge figures computed from that coordinate — 102 structures within ten miles, 41 posted for load, a floor of 13.2 metric tonnes — are identical to Park City Stone’s, because they are the same point.
Two rows in counties 125 miles apart cannot share a road network. So those numbers describe a place at most one of the two quarries occupies, and this page will not lean on them.
What can honestly be offered is a neighbour. Grayson County posts 12 of its 36 county-maintained bridges, and a coordinate-sound quarry twelve miles from here sees 69 structures within ten miles with 18 posted and a 6.8-tonne floor. That is a measurement of the roads around here rather than of this node, and it is labelled as such.
Kentucky weight law
The statute does not care where a register thinks you are
None of that uncertainty reaches the rules a truck actually works under, which apply by what is in the body.
Kentucky gives a ten per cent tolerance on its axle weight provisions to vehicles engaged exclusively in hauling crushed stone, fill dirt and rock, soil, bulk sand, coal, phosphate muck, asphalt, concrete, solid waste, tankage or animal residues, livestock, feed for livestock or poultry, and agricultural products — except on the interstate system. Stone is on it, and so are grain, feed and livestock, which matters in a county like this one.
Underneath the statute the postings bind first, and around here a 6.8-tonne rating on the neighbouring measurement is the kind of number that caps a load well before any state figure does.
The larger coal-haul figure belongs to a separate certified network — 90,000 lb on one steering axle plus two tandem axles with a five per cent tolerance — and that certified road list was not read for this work.

Kentucky paperwork
We need a title — unless it never had one
Beyond the weight, the paperwork is that one sentence, and it does not care about coordinates either.
Everything after it is a fix rather than a category. A lost title has a counter replacement; where one never existed there is a bonded route. Neither stops a sale.
The statute brands a vehicle salvage when parts and labour to rebuild it to pre-accident condition and legal operation exceed 75 per cent of its retail value, with the cost of reinstalling a deployed airbag system excluded from that sum — a flat percentage rather than a formula.
And on a truck standing at somebody else’s yard the clock is 45 days, after which, with reasonable or agreed storage or towing charges unpaid, it may be sold to pay them. Liens are recorded through the county clerk here and may be transmitted electronically.

What we buy here
None of that narrows what we will look at, and out here the collection question matters more than the truck type does. Dump trucks and aggregate haulers off the Crushed Stone operation. Farm trucks and grain hauls off Grayson County ground. Day cabs and road tractors, flatbeds, box trucks and straight trucks, service bodies, and the pickups that go with a crew.
Whatever you drive, the offer doesn’t change. We buy all of them.
Start from the far end on collection, because in a place this size that is the realistic one. We can buy it remotely and arrange the tow with nobody coming out at all. If you would rather we came, we come to you and drive it away, or come to you and tow it. And you are welcome to bring it to us.
We buy complete trucks. If the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Small things — a missing bumper — are fine.
Straight answers
The questions we get asked in Caneyville
- Does it have to run?No. It does have to be complete — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Rust is not a disqualifier.
- A search puts the quarry in the wrong county.It does, and this page is about why. The coordinate on that row is shared with Park City Stone over in Barren County and lands in Madison County instead. The name and the county field are what to trust here.
- Will you actually come out this far?We will. But we do not need to. Plenty of trucks in Grayson County we buy remotely and have towed, and that is the ordinary route here rather than the fallback.
- What about the title?We need one unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. A lost title has a counter replacement, and where none ever existed there is a bonded route.
- How am I paid?Cash or electronic payment. That is the whole list.
- It hauled grain as much as stone.Both are on the Kentucky tolerance list, so it ran at the same allowance either way. Different bodies wear differently though — tell us which it did most.
Why people call
Both of the last two usually sit inside a bigger story. Retiring, after a working life on the same few roads. A medical that didn’t go the way it used to. A contract that finished. A truck standing in a yard since somebody stopped driving it, costing insurance every month it isn’t turning a wheel.
Fewer buyers is the other reason the phone rings out this way, and it is why one seven-person Crushed Stone row being the whole of the Grayson County record does not narrow what we look at. A coordinate that lands 124.85 miles away does not change what a truck did, and neither does a thin register.
Most of those aren’t happy reasons, and we don’t treat them like they are. Somebody wants a straight answer and the truck gone by the end of the week. That’s what we’re here for.
Kentucky weight and title rules read from the Kentucky Revised Statutes in August 2026 — verify with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet before acting on them. Employment from the MSHA mines dataset; the shared-coordinate finding and its group counts from the project’s own node-list analysis. No entry for this row was found in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Aggregate Source Book, so unlike its coordinate twin nothing independent adjudicates its location, and the reading that the name and county field are correct is stated as a reasoned inference rather than a measured fact. The bridge figures computed from its coordinate are published so the defect is visible and are not relied on; the neighbouring measurement offered instead is labelled as a neighbour.
