Two quarries south-west of Frenchburg
Menifee Stone, a crushed-stone pit just 0.2 miles south-west of central Frenchburg, appears on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine roster. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls from that pit is probably parked within sight of Main Street, so give us the yard or lot where it sits and we will plan the collection from there.
Natural Bridge Stone, another crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 11.6 miles out in the same south-west direction. If your truck splits its loads between the two pits, tell us which one it is nearer on the day you want it gone, and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together.
Quarry trucks tend to carry their own paperwork trail. Keep any scale tickets, inspection reports or service sheets with the title; they let us see where the truck has worked without asking you to dig for details later.
Lumber and pole loads out of Frenchburg
Of the 61 active carriers based around Frenchburg in FMCSA’s carrier census, 20 list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo. Log trucks, knuckleboom rigs and pole trailers are trucks we buy, whether the unit sits at a landing up a ridge road or behind the house in town.
General freight follows at 16 carriers in that same FMCSA census, with machinery and large objects at 8 and motor vehicles at 7. A lowboy tractor, a rollback or a box truck from any of those lines is welcome; the VIN and a clear picture of the data plate are the two things to send first.
Mostly Kentucky work
Kentucky-only authority, mostly own-goods hauling
Intrastate authority covers 56 of the local carriers on FMCSA’s census, against only 5 cleared for interstate hauling. A truck registered for Kentucky-only work still sells the same way: have the registration and title in the same name, and tell us if a lender is listed.
Private fleets account for 34 of those Frenchburg-area operations in FMCSA’s carrier census, trucks owned by a business that hauls its own goods. If the truck is titled to a business, bring the paperwork showing who can sign for it.
Across 10 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median works out to 7,458 miles per truck in a year. That is a figure, not a judgement; a truck with a short annual log is one we look at the same way as any other.
Menifee haulers sized by the tractor, not the dozen
The three biggest fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census for this area run 10, 4 and 3 power units, with 6, 4 and 2 drivers respectively. An owner with a single tractor and an owner with a yard of ten deal with the same steps: photos, VIN, title, and the address where the truck is parked.
FMCSA records two carriers registering around Frenchburg in 2025 and one in 2024, so if you are winding down a recently started operation, the truck you bought for it fits our list just as an older one would.
Farm trucks in the hollows near town
Menifee County counts 213 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and goats leading the list. Stock trailers, grain-bed straight trucks and farm flatbeds from those places are part of what we collect, and they are often stored in a barn lot rather than a yard.
For a farm truck, the title may still carry a parent’s or a partner’s name. Sort that out with the clerk before pickup. Tell us too whether the truck sits on a gravel lane or on pavement.
A lost title in Frenchburg is a short walk
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet titles are handled through county clerk offices, and in this town that means the Menifee County Clerk at 12 Main Street, Frenchburg, 40322, about 0.2 miles from the centre. A duplicate title for a lost one is applied for there.
Bring your photo ID and whatever registration you still have when you visit the clerk. With the replacement title in hand, the sale of your truck can go ahead without a second trip.
Construction firms in Menifee County number 4 establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put local employment at 347 jobs for 2023. A contractor’s dump truck or a work pickup’s titling runs through the same Main Street office.
