Underground stone, open pit
Two stone pits on Falmouth’s northern side
Eight and a half miles up from Falmouth, Butler Quarry digs crushed stone, as recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run stone out of there are often parked at the quarry or at a yard nearby, so tell us where yours sits and we will plan the collection at that spot.
A little further up the same road, at 11.1 miles north, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records the Underground Black River Operation, also crushed stone. If your truck has hauled from both sites, say which one it worked last, and send photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate.
Pendleton County Clerk
A lost title is fixed four-tenths of a mile from the square
In Kentucky the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet handles vehicle titles through county clerk offices, and for Falmouth that is the Pendleton County Clerk at 233 Main Street, Room 1, about 0.4 miles from the middle of town. A seller missing a title can walk there and start a replacement before we schedule anything.
Bring the registration, a photo ID and any lien release if the truck was ever financed. If the clerk on Main Street has already issued a duplicate, keep it with the service records so both travel with the truck on the day we collect it.
Lowboys, flatbeds, box vans
Forty-eight in-state outfits out of sixty-four
Of the 64 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census for Falmouth, 48 operate intrastate and 16 cross state lines, while 33 are private fleets moving their own goods. A private fleet truck usually stays on the owner’s lot, which makes it simple for us to reach.
General freight leads the cargo listed by those Falmouth outfits, with 15 carriers, and machinery or large objects follows with 14, according to the same FMCSA census. Lowboys, flatbeds and heavy tractors from that work are trucks we buy; note the trailer type and the hitch when you write to us.
The biggest operation registered in town fields nine power units and 20 drivers, FMCSA’s records show, with the next two at eight and five units. Small fleets like these can sell one truck or several, and a single list of VINs is enough for us to begin.
Cattle, beans, tobacco, logs
Farm and log trucks around Pendleton County
Falmouth’s surrounding county held 878 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, soybeans and tobacco as the leading products. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm tractors often sit in a barn lot, so a gate code or a farm road description saves a wasted trip.
Ten Falmouth carriers on FMCSA’s census haul grain, feed or hay, and another ten carry logs, poles, beams or lumber. Log trucks with loaders and grain trucks with hoppers both qualify; photograph the loader or the box along with the cab.
The DECOURSEY yard and longer runs
Roughly 24.1 miles north-west, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the DECOURSEY rail yard. Drivers who shuttle loads between town and that yard may keep a tractor there between runs; give us that address if it applies.
Among drivers tied to Falmouth carriers, FMCSA counts 139 working within a hundred-mile radius and 71 going beyond it. FMCSA’s census puts the median at 50,000 miles a truck for the eleven Falmouth carriers reporting it; have the current odometer reading on hand when you call.
Jobs, builders and new outfits
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 1,024 jobs in Falmouth for 2023, and County Business Patterns lists seven construction establishments in the county. Contractors there run dump trucks and service bodies; a builder retiring a truck can send us the VIN from the jobsite.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows Falmouth adding four fresh registrations in 2025 after a year, 2024, that added none. If you started out recently and are now selling a truck, the registration and any loan papers are the two documents to gather first.

- Can you collect my stone truck straight from Butler Quarry’s yard?Butler Quarry sits 8.5 miles north of Falmouth on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from quarry yards like it. Send the site address and who can let us in.
- Is a cattle or soybean hauler from around Falmouth something you take?Pendleton County’s 878 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture raise cattle, soybeans and tobacco, and the grain, livestock and farm trucks that serve them are ones we buy. Photos and the VIN are enough to start.
- My Falmouth outfit has several power units; could all of them go together?Falmouth’s largest registered fleet has nine power units on FMCSA’s carrier census, and fleets of that size can sell one truck or all of them. Send every VIN with the lot each unit sits on, whether in Falmouth or out on a farm.
