Fifteen private fleets among Cold Spring’s haulers

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 27 active carriers with a Cold Spring address, and 15 of them are private fleets moving their own company’s goods. If your truck belongs to a business rather than a for-hire outfit, have the company title and the name of the person allowed to sign it before you call us.

Of those 27, the federal carrier census shows 17 authorised for interstate work and 10 that stay inside Kentucky. For an interstate tractor, pull out the current registration and the IFTA records and tell us which state issued the plates.

Sixteen local carriers haul general freight under FMCSA’s cargo listings, while six move logs, poles, beams or lumber, six carry machinery and large objects, and five transport motor vehicles. Say which of those your truck did, and send a photo of the body or trailer setup along with the cab so the listing matches the equipment.

Small fleets and owner-operators on Campbell County roads

One Cold Spring fleet runs 31 power units with 15 drivers, another has 12 trucks and 12 drivers, and a third lists 9 power units and 10 drivers, all according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Selling one truck out of a fleet that size works the same as selling a single rig: give us the unit number and VIN of each truck you want gone, and we handle them one at a time or together.

New registrations stay modest here; the carrier census records 2 carriers starting up in 2024 and 1 more in 2025. A newer operation that bought a truck on a loan should have the lienholder’s name and payoff contact ready for us.

Odometer readings and a 2018 median model year

A dozen Cold Spring carriers report mileage to FMCSA’s census, and their trucks log a median 13,649 miles a year each. Write down the current odometer reading and take a clear photo of the dash before you contact us, since that number is the first thing we ask after the VIN.

FMCSA’s carrier census also counts 51 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 42 driving beyond that radius. A truck that runs local routes is usually parked at a yard or a driveway nearby when we collect it; one on longer runs may be out of town, so tell us where it will be sitting on the day you want it gone.

Roadside inspection records from FMCSA cover 49 trucks tied to Cold Spring carriers between October 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2018 and 32.7 percent at ten years old or more. Have the most recent inspection report and any service log to hand, as those show the truck’s history alongside the photos.

Rail sidings west, fuel racks north-west

The DeCoursey rail yard lies 2.2 miles west of Cold Spring on the North American Rail Network, and the Ludlow yard is 7.9 miles to the north-west. If your truck shuttles containers or freight to either yard, it can stay where it is parked between runs; give us the address and gate details and we come to it.

Two petroleum product terminals in Covington, 4.3 and 7.8 miles north-west, appear in the Energy Information Administration’s terminal listings. Tank trucks and fuel haulers that load there are on our list too, so include the tank’s placard photos and any current tank test certificate with your description.

Quarries south of town and gravel pits to the west

Underground Black River Operation, a crushed-stone quarry 14.9 miles south-east, and Butler Quarry, 16.1 miles south, are both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine register. Dump trucks working those sites often sit at the quarry over the weekend, so check with the site office that we can reach the truck before you set a pickup.

To the west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration adds Belleview Sand & Gravel at 21.2 miles and a sand and gravel site called Plant #1 at 23.8 miles. If your truck hauls aggregate out there, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the tires, and note whether it is titled to you or to the operation.

Wholesale yards, builders and horse farms near Cold Spring

Of the 3,114 Cold Spring jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded for 2023, manufacturing held 162, wholesale trade 153 and construction 60. Box trucks and straight trucks from those businesses are titled to the company, so the officer listed on the registration is the one who signs.

Builders are a steady presence: 46 construction establishments show up for the Cold Spring area in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s pickup, flatbed or dump truck is something we buy, and the title, registration and keys are the three items to set aside first.

Cattle, corn and horses top the list for Campbell County’s 493 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A farm truck or livestock hauler stored in a barn or field is fine for us to collect; just tell us whether the lane is passable for a tow truck.

The questions we get asked in Cold Spring

Give us the gate address and who can let a driver in.
  • Can you collect a dump truck from Butler Quarry or the Black River mine?Butler Quarry and the Underground Black River Operation sit 16.1 and 14.9 miles out on the Mine Safety and Health Administration register, and we collect from quarry sites. Arrange site access with the operator and send us the location.
  • Which papers should a Cold Spring carrier pull together first?Cold Spring carriers registered with FMCSA are split between 17 interstate and 10 intrastate operations, so plates and paperwork vary; gather the title, current registration, VIN, odometer reading and a set of photos, plus any inspection or service records you hold.
