Quarry trucks on the Caldwell and Dix River side
Caldwell Stone, a crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, sits about 2.3 miles east of Danville. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls aggregate out of that pit can be collected at the quarry lot, at your shop or at your house, whichever is easier for you. Send the address and a name for whoever holds the gate key.
Further out along the same eastern side, Dix River Stone is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration roughly 6.3 miles from town. If your truck is parked at that quarry, photograph the body, the bed, the tires and the cab, and have the Kentucky title in hand before we set a collection date.
The Danville rail yard and general freight
Half a mile south-west of the town centre, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the DANVILLE rail yard. Tractors that shuttle loads between that yard and Boyle County plants usually sit close to home, so tell us which lot or yard yours is parked in.
General freight is the cargo listed by 58 of the 165 active Danville carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, with machinery and large objects named by 34 of them. For a lowboy tractor or a van-hauling day cab, the VIN and an odometer photo are the first two things to send us.
Cattle, corn and soybean country around Boyle County
Cattle lead the list for Boyle County’s 491 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, ahead of corn and then soybeans. A grain truck or livestock hauler that only comes out at harvest can stay in the barn or the field lane where it is parked; give us directions to the gate and we will arrange the collection around your work.
Within FMCSA’s carrier census for Danville, 23 carriers list farm supplies and another 23 list grain, feed and hay. If your farm truck carries a Kentucky title in a family member’s name, gather that title and any signed paperwork showing who can sell it before you contact us.
Private fleets and drivers who stay close
Of the 165 active carriers, FMCSA’s carrier census lists 139 as intrastate, 26 as interstate and 122 as private fleets hauling their own goods. Many Danville trucks belong to a business that does something other than trucking, so the seller is often an owner or a manager; bring the company registration along with the title.
Drivers working within 100 miles number 425 against 148 who go further, by FMCSA’s carrier census. For the 35 local carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 13,143 miles per truck a year. Tell us the reading on the odometer when you write, alongside the year and the make.
Danville’s three biggest fleets and their model years
FMCSA’s carrier census shows the three biggest Danville fleets at 71 power units with 82 drivers, 38 power units with 25 drivers and 28 power units with 30 drivers. We collect one tractor or a run of several from the same yard, so list the unit numbers and VINs together if you are selling more than one.
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 55 trucks based here, with a median model year of 2018 and 47.3 percent of them ten or more years old. Whatever the model year on your title, send the registration and any service records you have kept with the photos.
Factory, wholesale and building jobs in Danville
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,915 of Danville’s 13,372 jobs in manufacturing, 14.3 percent of the total, and 524 in wholesale trade. Box trucks and straight trucks that run between plant docks and warehouses in town can be picked up at the loading dock itself; tell us the hours the dock is open.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 43 construction establishments, and LEHD counts 255 construction jobs in Danville in 2023. A contractor’s flatbed or dump truck parked on a job site can be collected there, as long as you tell us who on site can hand over the keys.
The questions we get asked in Danville
- Our tri-axle sits at Caldwell Stone outside Danville; can it be collected from the pit?Caldwell Stone is about 2.3 miles east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and the truck can stay there. Give us the quarry’s name, the spot where it is parked and a contact who can let us through the gate.
- Can I sell a grain truck that only works during harvest on our Boyle County farm?Boyle County has 491 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and seasonal grain and livestock trucks from them are trucks we buy. Have the Kentucky title, the registration and a few photos ready, and tell us where on the farm it sits.
- Our Danville company trucks only carry our own goods, not freight for hire; can we still sell one?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 122 of Danville’s 165 active carriers as private fleets, so a company that moves its own goods is the usual seller here. Bring the title in the business’s name and proof that you can sign for the company.
