Aggregate haulers north-east and south of Cave City
Hart County Stone, a crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, sits 4.2 miles north-east of Cave City. A dump truck or tractor that has shuttled aggregate out of that pit can stay parked at the quarry gate or in your yard; give us the address and the name of whoever can let our driver in.
Barren County Stone, another crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 5.5 miles south of town. For a truck on that haul, send clear photos of the bed, the frame and every tire along with the VIN.
Grain and hay loads
Farm freight is what Cave City carriers list most
Of the 96 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Cave City, 28 list grain, feed and hay, 27 list farm supplies and 28 list general freight. A hopper-bottom tractor, a flatbed for hay or a straight truck used on feed runs fits what we buy; tell us the body type and what it was set up to pull.
Machinery and large objects appear on 26 of those carrier registrations, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, so lowboys and heavy-haul tractors work out of this town too. For one of those, a note of the axle setup and the trailer it was matched with saves a round of questions later.
Around Cave City, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 1,621 farms across Barren County, with cattle, milk and corn at the top. A livestock hauler or milk truck from one of those operations can be collected right at the barn, so you do not need to move it to a paved lot first.
Eighty intrastate carriers and sixty-nine private fleets
Eighty of the town’s carriers run intrastate only and 16 cross state lines, FMCSA’s carrier census shows, while 69 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A farm or contractor’s own truck with its Kentucky registration in the owner’s name is straightforward to sell; keep that registration card with the title.
Drivers based here split 116 working inside a hundred-mile radius and 82 going beyond it, by the FMCSA carrier census figures. A local truck is usually sitting near Cave City when you call; a long-run tractor may be parked elsewhere, and in that case tell us where it is rather than bringing it home first.
Small fleets, from one truck to eleven
The two biggest Cave City fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census each run 11 power units, one with nine drivers and one with eight, and the next runs seven trucks with seven drivers. If you are selling several units together, list each VIN and say where each one is kept so pickups can be grouped.
Eleven carriers here report annual mileage to FMCSA, and their median comes to 40,899 miles per truck on the carrier census. Write the odometer reading down from the dash and include it with your photos; it is one of the first figures we ask for.
Glasgow on the square
The clerk on Glasgow’s public square
Titles in Kentucky run through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, which handles them at county clerk offices. For a truck kept in Cave City, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet points you to the Barren County Clerk at 117-1A North Public Square, Glasgow, 42141, about 10.3 miles from town.
If the title is missing, start the duplicate at that Glasgow clerk office before we arrange collection, and bring your registration and photo ID. Should a lender still be listed on the title, have the lien release on hand as well, since the clerk will want to see it.
Rail and local work around Cave City
Twenty-four miles west of Cave City, the Bristow rail yard appears on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that has worked loads to and from that yard can be picked up wherever it sits on that side of the county.
Cave City is a workplace for 860 people in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show five construction establishments in the area. A contractor’s dump or service truck from one of those firms fits what we collect, so send the VIN, the title and a set of photos together.
The questions we get asked in Cave City
- Do you buy farm trucks, not just highway tractors?Grain, feed and hay carriers account for 28 of Cave City’s 96 active registrations on FMCSA’s carrier census, and farm trucks of that kind are part of what we buy. A hopper, hay flatbed or feed truck from a Barren County farm qualifies; include its VIN and a few photos of the body when you get in touch.
