Crushed rock east of Louisville
Quarry trucks from Jefferson County Stone
Jefferson County Stone, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone quarry, lies roughly 3.5 miles to the north-east of this suburb. A tri-axle dump or a quad that hauls rock out of that pit can be sold from the quarry lot, a contractor’s yard or your own driveway; send us the address and the name of whoever controls the gate.
Roughly 9.2 miles west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists the Louisville Yard mineral processing plant and Bernhard Oppermann, a sand and gravel operation. If your aggregate truck splits its days between the quarry to the north-east and those western sites, tell us where it is parked on weekends and we can plan the collection there.
Hauling around the Ford Truck Plant and Appliance Park yards
About 4.5 miles north of town, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows a rail yard named FORD TRUCK PLANT. Day cabs and switcher tractors that shuttle around a yard like that are trucks we buy; have the title in your name and the registration card in the cab before you reach out.
The Appliance Park rail yard sits 7.1 miles to the south-west on the North American Rail Network as well. When your tractor is parked inside a fenced rail property, line up a contact who can let us through at the agreed time, and include a photo of the VIN plate so the paperwork matches the truck on the first try.
Containers and river freight
Intermodal ramps and the Louisville-Jefferson Port
Two container ramps lie within eight miles of Douglass Hills according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: Louisville, KY - Appliance Park at 6.7 miles south-west and Louisville, KY - Buechel at 7.8 miles west. A sleeper or day cab that pulls chassis off either ramp can be photographed where it stands; shots of the cab, the frame rails, the fifth wheel and the tires give us a full picture.
Also 6.7 miles south-west, the Louisville-Jefferson Port appears in the federal transportation statistics bureau’s port listing. If your truck has worked the riverfront, keep any terminal gate records or service invoices with it, since they tell us what the tractor has done without anyone having to guess.
Suburb jobs, county farms
Small employers in town, horse and cattle farms around it
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 659 jobs inside Douglass Hills itself. If the truck you are selling belongs to a small business or to you as an owner-operator, the person named on the title signs it over, and a signed title plus a photo ID is the core of what we need at pickup.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 264 farms in Jefferson County, with equine, cattle and soybeans at the top of the county’s list. Horse trailers pulled by a pickup, cattle haulers and grain trucks off those farms are all welcome; tell us whether the truck is on the farm or at a barn elsewhere in the county.
Readying a Douglass Hills sale
Gate addresses, titles and photos for a Douglass Hills sale
Between the Jefferson County Stone quarry and the Ford Truck Plant and Appliance Park rail yards, a truck from Douglass Hills may well be parked at a work site rather than at home. Write down the exact gate or yard address, the hours someone is on site, and any rule about visitors.
If the Kentucky title for your truck is lost, ask the state’s title agency about a replacement before the sale, and send us a photo of the registration in the meantime. Add the odometer reading, the VIN and a few pictures from each side, and we can set up the collection around where the truck works in Jefferson County.
The questions we get asked in Douglass Hills
- Do you buy trucks that haul containers from the Buechel ramp?The Buechel intermodal ramp, 7.8 miles west on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing, is the kind of place the day cabs and sleepers we buy work from. Start with the VIN, the mileage on the dash and a set of pictures of the tractor where it sits by the Buechel ramp.
- I keep a livestock or horse-hauling truck on a Jefferson County farm. Would you buy a farm truck from there?Equine and cattle lead the county’s farm list in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and trucks that serve those 264 farms are ones we buy. Tell us the farm’s address and whether the truck is in a barn or out in a field.
