Kosmos and the kiln
Cement and stone east and south-west of Doe Valley
East of Doe Valley, the Kosmos Cement Plant is 11.5 miles away on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of mine sites. A bulk tanker or a mixer that ran cement from that kiln can be collected from the yard or the driveway where it sits now; send us the street address and a photo of the VIN plate.
Irvington Quarry, a crushed-stone operation that the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 11.6 miles to the south-west, keeps dump trucks and tri-axles moving. If your dump truck spent its days loading at that pit, take pictures of the bed, the hoist and the cab, and tell us the gross weight rating printed on the door sticker.
Battletown Materials, LLC runs a crushed-stone quarry 14.5 miles north-west of town, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Rock haulers based near that pit along the river side of Meade County can stay where they are parked; we arrange the pickup there once you send the location.
Further east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Arcosa Brooks Plant #1682, an industrial-mineral mine 22.2 miles from Doe Valley. Have the registration and any service invoices together for a truck that ran to Brooks, so the make, model and VIN on paper match the photos you send.
Trucks working around the Fort Knox gate
Contractors’ straight trucks and tractors that serve the post are trucks we buy, and if yours is parked on a contractor’s lot rather than at home, give us the name of the person who can let us in.
That post is a secured site. A truck still inside its fence can be moved to an open lot in town or along the road toward Brandenburg for collection, so tell us which arrangement suits you when you first get in touch.
Cane Run and the fuel racks
Fuel tankers on the Louisville side
Two petroleum product terminals sit north-east of town on the Energy Information Administration’s register: Louisville Asphcane Run at 15.6 miles and a second fuel terminal at 16.2 miles. A tank truck or a tractor that pulled fuel trailers from those racks is welcome here; list the tank’s capacity and its compartment count when you write to us.
Keep any tank inspection certificates with the truck’s title, since they describe the equipment in a way pictures do not. If you no longer have them, say so and send clear photos of the tank’s data plate instead.
Day cabs that run to the Louisville intermodal ramp
Louisville’s rail intermodal ramp lies 22.8 miles north-east of Doe Valley in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. A day cab or sleeper that drayed containers off that ramp can be picked up wherever it is stored, on either side of the county line.
Send the VIN, the odometer reading and a few photos of the fifth wheel and frame. Those three things let us ask the right questions about your tractor before we set a collection time.
Soybeans, corn and cattle
Grain trucks, hopper tractors and cattle pots kept in a barn or field can be collected right from the farm.
Tell us whether the gate and lane will take a tow truck, and whether the truck has been registered for farm use. A farm-plated truck still needs its title in the owner’s name before the sale is finished.
In Kentucky the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet handles titles through county clerk offices, and for Doe Valley that office is the Meade County Clerk at 516 Hillcrest Drive, Brandenburg, 40108, 3.9 miles from town by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s listing.
Bring your driver’s license and the truck’s VIN to the clerk’s counter, and if a lender is still shown on the title, ask that lender for a lien release first. With the title in hand, the rest of the sale is straightforward.
