Bromley and Covington terminals north-east of town
Bromley’s petroleum product terminal, on the Ohio just 1.8 miles north-east of Crescent Springs, appears in Energy Information Administration terminal listings. A tractor that loads at Bromley is often parked within sight of the river when we come for it, so give us the yard address and a gate contact along with your Kentucky title.
A second fuel terminal at Covington sits 3.5 miles north-east, according to the same Energy Information Administration listing. If your rig shuttled product between Bromley and Covington, keep the VIN, registration and any tank inspection paperwork in one folder; those sheets answer most of what we ask about a fuel tractor before we set a pickup.
Rail yards at Ludlow by the river and DeCoursey to the south-east
Ludlow’s rail yard lies 3 miles north-east of town on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that dray between Ludlow’s tracks and warehouses along the river can be collected right where they sit, whether that is a lot off the yard or your own driveway.
DeCoursey, 6.9 miles south-east on the North American Rail Network, is the other yard near Crescent Springs. Send clear photos of the cab, the frame rails and the fifth wheel, plus a shot of the odometer, so the description you give us of a DeCoursey shuttle truck matches what we see on the screen.
Gravel pits west of town and quarries to the south
West along the Ohio, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Belleview Sand & Gravel 13.9 miles away and Petersburg Sand 15.9 miles away. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul from those pits to Kenton County job sites qualify for sale to us, and we arrange collection at the pit gate or your shop.
MLC - Verona, a crushed-stone quarry, is 18.1 miles south-west and the Underground Black River Operation is 22 miles south-east, per Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck worked a quarry haul road, tell us which operation and bring out any maintenance logs; an MSHA site often keeps records a quarry truck owner can request.
Sixteen small carriers and what they load
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 16 active carriers based in Crescent Springs, and 13 of them are registered as private fleets hauling their own goods. A business that owns a box truck or tractor for its own deliveries sells to us the same way an owner-operator does: title, registration and a few photos.
Five of those carriers list general freight and five list machinery or large objects, while three each haul logs, poles and lumber or metal sheets, coils and rolls, the FMCSA carrier census records. Lowboys, flatbeds and coil-rated tractors fall in that mix, and a trailer can be collected alongside the tractor if you are selling both.
The fleets in town stay small according to that same federal census: the top three register 18, 13 and 10 power units. If you are retiring several units from a fleet that size, list each VIN and where it is parked, and we can plan one trip for the lot.
Mostly short-radius local work
Of drivers at Crescent Springs carriers, FMCSA’s census counts 72 working within 100 miles and 7 going beyond that radius. In the same FMCSA census, nine of the 16 carriers run intrastate only and seven cross state lines, so a truck you sell is likely parked in Kenton County when we come.
Five carriers reported annual mileage to FMCSA, and the median among them is 15,500 miles per truck. Have the current odometer figure written down when you contact us, alongside the title, so the details on the truck line up from the first call.
Construction jobs, wholesale trade and county farms
Contractor crews account for 135 positions in Crescent Springs, 4.7 percent of a 2,900-job total that the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts logged for 2023 under construction. Contractors’ dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from those crews can be picked up at a yard or a finished job site.
Wholesale trade accounts for 57 local jobs, 2 percent of the total, in that same 2023 LEHD release. Straight trucks and tractors that move stock out of distribution buildings near town are trucks we buy outright from the business that holds the title.
Kenton County had 453 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with honey, equine and goats leading the list. A horse-hauling truck or a farm stake-bed counts as well; if the title is lost, the state’s title agency issues a replacement before the sale.
