Quarry and Ford yard
Ford’s rail yard and the Jefferson County Stone quarry
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places a rail yard called FORD TRUCK PLANT about 5.1 miles east of Graymoor-Devondale. A tractor that shuttles loads to and from that yard is the kind of truck we collect, so tell us whether it is a day cab or a sleeper and what it hauled when you first get in touch.
Roughly 6.1 miles in the same easterly direction, Jefferson County Stone runs a crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Owners of tri-axle dumps and end-dump trailers that run aggregate out of that pit can photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, then send those pictures together with the VIN.
Dredges and sand plants five and a half miles west
Heading west about 5.5 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records three operations clustered together: the Louisville Yard mineral processing plant and two sand and gravel sites, Bernhard Oppermann and Dredge Miss Kate. Trucks that carry sand and gravel away from those river operations often sit parked near the water between loads, and we can pick one up wherever it is kept.
If your dump truck or tractor is stored at a yard out that way rather than at home in Graymoor-Devondale, send us the street address and a note on gate hours or who holds the keys. That lets the pickup go to the right place on the first try.
Containers off Appliance Park, Buechel and the Louisville-Jefferson Port
Southwest of the city, at about 6.4 miles, sits the Louisville-Jefferson Port, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists among its ports. Tractors that pull barge freight or bulk cargo from those docks are welcome, and so are the trailers behind them if you want to sell both together.
Two rail intermodal ramps appear in that same Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing: Louisville’s Appliance Park at about 6.6 miles and Buechel at 7 miles, both southwest. A sleeper or day cab used for drayage between those ramps should come with its registration and any service records you keep, since those answer most of our questions before we ask them.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet
Liberty Street and the county clerk for a missing title
Kentucky titles go through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and that agency handles them at county clerk offices. For a Graymoor-Devondale owner, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s nearest office is the Jefferson County Clerk, at the Jefferson County Clerk’s Office, Elections Center, 1000 E. Liberty Street, Louisville, 40204-1029, which by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s listing is about 6.6 miles from town.
Should the title be lost or still show a lender, start a replacement at that Liberty Street clerk before we schedule the collection. Keep the current registration and any lien release together with the truck so the handover has everything in one place.
Farm trucks among Jefferson County’s horse and cattle farms
Graymoor-Devondale sits in a county with 264 farms counted by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and equine operations top that list, followed by cattle and soybeans. Horse-trailer haulers, livestock rigs and grain trucks from those farms fit what we buy.
A farm truck often carries farm plates and spends long stretches parked in a barn or field. Tell us where it stands, whether a tractor-trailer can reach it, and whether the title is in the farm’s name or yours.
Driveway pickups
A residential town with 821 jobs on LEHD’s count
Within the city limits, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put employment at 821, a modest total for a residential town of under three thousand people. Many trucks owned here are parked at home and driven to sites beyond the city line.
If your truck lives in a residential driveway or on a cul-de-sac, mention any low branches or tight turns on your street.
