A workforce built around warehouses and freight
Of the 6,442 jobs located in Francisville in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 3,581 in transportation and warehousing, which is 55.6 percent of the total. If your tractor has spent its shifts backing into dock doors around Francisville, have the title in the owner’s name and a current registration card ready before you call.
Wholesale trade adds another 705 jobs, or 10.9 percent, by the same LEHD figures for 2023, and manufacturing holds 344. Box trucks and day cabs that shuttle goods between distribution floors and plant gates around town are trucks we buy; send a shot of the cargo body interior along with the cab and the VIN plate.
Francisville’s 23 warehousing establishments, as tallied in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, mean plenty of trucks here are parked at a shipping yard rather than at home. If yours is one of them, tell us the yard’s name and who holds the gate key when you get in touch.
Petersburg Sand and the gravel pits toward the river
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Petersburg Sand, a sand and gravel operation, 8.7 miles west of Francisville, and a second sand and gravel site registered as PLANT #1 at 8.9 miles in the same direction. Dump trucks and tri-axles loaded at those pits are part of what we collect; if yours is parked at a pit scale house, give us the site name so we can plan access.
Further out, MLC - Verona appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone quarry 19.1 miles south. For an aggregate truck that worked between Verona and the western pits, pull together whatever service invoices you kept and photograph the bed, hoist and tires along with the cab.
East toward the river cities
Bromley and Covington tank racks east of Francisville
Two petroleum product terminals sit east of Francisville on Energy Information Administration listings: BROMLEY TERMINAL KY at 8.9 miles and the COVINGTON terminal at 10.2 miles. Tank trucks and tractors that loaded at either rack can be sold to us; keep any terminal loading or tank test paperwork with the title.
If the rig still sits on a lot near Bromley or Covington, you can leave it there. Tell us the street address and the name of whoever answers for the lot, and we will arrange the collection with them directly.
Tractors that ran to the Ludlow and DeCoursey yards
LUDLOW rail yard is 9.8 miles east of Francisville, and DECOURSEY rail yard lies 15.5 miles east, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that pulled loads to or from those yards is welcome here; note which yard it served when you describe it.
For a sleeper or day cab that ran between the Ludlow yard and the Boone County warehouses, the VIN and the odometer reading are the first two things we ask for. Have them written down, along with whether the registration is current, before you reach out.
Model years on Francisville trucks at the scale
Francisville-linked trucks stopped for FMCSA roadside inspections from August 2024 to August 2026 numbered 507, and half of them carried a model year of 2019 or newer. Whether your tractor sits above or below that 2019 midpoint, the call to us starts the same way, with the VIN and the title.
Roughly 22.7 percent of those 507 Francisville trucks, per the same FMCSA roadside inspection records, were ten model years old or more. Whichever side of that line your truck falls on, the steps are identical: title, registration, photos of all four sides and the dash, and the VIN.
Building crews and Boone County farmland
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 35 construction establishments here, while LEHD job counts put 53 construction jobs inside Francisville in 2023. Flatbeds, dump trucks and service bodies from those crews can be collected at a jobsite as easily as at a home address.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 727 farms in Boone County, with cattle, soybeans and equine operations at the top. A grain truck, livestock hauler or horse-hauling rig stored in a barn lot on one of those farms can stay put; send directions to the barn and a photo of the gate.
