Farley’s freight, building and plant jobs
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 913 jobs in Farley in 2023, and 279 of them, 30.6 percent, were in transportation and warehousing. If your tractor or box truck has been part of that work, start by telling us what it hauled and between which sites around Farley, then send the VIN.
Construction held 142 Farley jobs and manufacturing 83 in the same 2023 LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau. Dump trucks, flatbeds and straight trucks from site work fit what we buy, so photograph the body, the frame and the cab, and note any attachment that goes with the truck.
Those three sectors together account for 504 of the 913 jobs the LEHD counts list for Farley. Whichever of them your truck served, have the title in hand and the registration current before you reach out; those two papers come up first in every purchase.
Paducah product
Terminals north-west and east of town
Two Paducah petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration listings near Farley, one 2.3 miles north-west and the other 2.5 miles east. A tanker or tractor that has shuttled product out of either one is a truck we will look at; tell us which terminal it loaded at and whether the tank paperwork travels with it.
A liquid bulk terminal 2.4 miles north-west of Farley is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is still parked on a terminal lot, give us the gate contact and the hours the lot is open, and we arrange the collection around that site rather than asking you to move it.
Dredges
Sand and gravel on the river
Dredge Percie McGeorge, a sand and gravel operation 1.5 miles north of Farley, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and Dredge Pine Bluff sits 4.1 miles east. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run aggregate from dredge sites like these are ones we buy, so tell us the body length and axle setup when you write.
A truck at a dredge yard may be sitting on ground that belongs to the operator. Ask whoever runs that yard whether a collection vehicle can reach it, then pass us the address and a phone number for the yard, and we plan the pickup from there.
Tracks west of town
SOUTH YARD, then the McCracken Riverport
Two yard entries, SOUTH YARD and SOUTH, both 2.2 miles west of Farley, appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that drayed freight to and from those tracks qualify, and a short note on the loads it pulled helps us ask the right questions.
Further out, 7.7 miles west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Paducah-McCracken Riverport as a port. A truck that worked the riverport docks can stay where it is parked; send its location along with photos of every side, the dash and the data plate.
Hauling McCracken County soybeans, corn and wheat
Soybeans lead the crop list on McCracken County’s 339 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, followed by corn and wheat. Grain trucks, hopper-bottom trailers and the tractors that pull them off those fields are part of what we purchase.
Farm trucks are often titled to a family or a farm business rather than a single person, so check whose name appears on the McCracken County title before anything else. If it was lost, the state’s title agency handles a duplicate, and having that started early keeps the sale moving.
The questions we get asked in Farley
- My dump truck sits by the Percie McGeorge dredge north of Farley; will you pick it up at that spot?Dredge Percie McGeorge lies 1.5 miles north of Farley according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we come to the truck at that kind of site. Give us the yard contact so access is arranged before the visit.
- Which paperwork do I need for a tanker that worked the Paducah terminals?The Energy Information Administration places Paducah petroleum product terminals 2.3 and 2.5 miles from Farley, and for a tanker from either one we ask for the title, the registration and any tank inspection records you kept.
- My McCracken County farm truck has no title on hand; where does a replacement come from?With 339 farms counted in McCracken County by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, many trucks here are farm-titled, and a lost one is replaced through the state’s title agency; start that request and tell us it is underway.
