Hebron’s freight and warehouse jobs
Transportation and warehousing account for 49.3 percent of Hebron’s 11,025 jobs, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) for 2023. If your tractor has shuttled trailers between Boone County docks, it is probably parked at a yard or a dock door rather than at your house. Give us that yard’s address and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and the pickup gets planned around the lot.
Wholesale trade adds 1,949 jobs and manufacturing 1,192, on the same LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. Straight trucks with lift gates and day cabs that pull dry vans between those distributors are both on our list. Have the Kentucky title and the current registration together before you call, since those two papers are the first things we check for a Hebron truck.
Construction holds 225 jobs in the 2023 LEHD job counts. A dump truck or a flatbed from a Boone County job site counts as well; tell us the body type and send a photo of the plate on the door so the VIN matches what you describe.
General freight, coils and car haulers on the carrier rolls
Eighty-nine carriers with a Hebron address show as active in FMCSA’s carrier census. The same FMCSA census shows 61 authorised for interstate work and 28 for intrastate hauling, while 43 operate private fleets moving their own goods. If your truck belongs to a private fleet, bring the company’s authorisation to sell along with the title, so the paperwork names the right owner.
General freight is the cargo listed by 50 Hebron carriers in the federal carrier census, ahead of machinery and large objects at 18, motor vehicles at 12 and metal sheets, coils and rolls at 9. Car haulers, lowboys and coil-rated flatbeds from those outfits are trucks we take, with or without the trailer. Say which trailer goes with the tractor, if any, so both are on the bill of sale.
On FMCSA’s census, the three biggest operators in town register 626 power units with 729 drivers, 98 units with 38 drivers, and 35 units with 60 drivers. Fleet managers retiring several tractors at once can send one list of VINs and yard locations; we work through them as a group rather than one call per truck.
Drivers who sleep at home and drivers who sleep in the cab
Hebron carriers report 801 drivers working within 100 miles and 610 beyond it, in FMCSA’s carrier census. A truck on local runs is usually back at its home yard each night, which makes it easy for us to find. A long-haul sleeper may be out on the road, so tell us where it will be parked on the day you want it collected.
Across 37 carriers that reported mileage to the FMCSA, the median truck in Hebron covers 39,773 miles a year. Take a photo of the odometer and keep the service log in the cab; the log answers most questions before we ask them.
New registrations in the federal carrier census show 5 carriers starting in Hebron in 2025 and 2 in 2024. If you started an outfit recently and are scaling back, a truck still under a lien can be sold; have the lender’s name and your account number ready so the payoff letter can be requested.
Fuel racks and rail yards east of Hebron on the map
The Energy Information Administration lists Bromley Terminal, a petroleum product terminal 7.7 miles east of Hebron, and the Covington terminal 9.4 miles east. Fuel tankers loading at those racks belong on our list. Keep any tank inspection certificates with the title so they travel with the truck.
Ludlow rail yard lies 8.9 miles east and DeCoursey yard 13.4 miles east, per the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Drayage tractors that run trailers to and from those yards can be collected where they are parked, whether that is in Hebron or beside one of those two yards.
Dump trucks from the pits and the quarry
Belleview Sand & Gravel sits 7.8 miles south-west of Hebron and Petersburg Sand 9 miles west, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul from those pits are trucks we purchase; if one is kept at the pit, tell us the gate hours so collection fits the site.
MLC - Verona, a crushed-stone quarry, is 16.2 miles south of town according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Send photos of the bed, the hoist and the frame along with the cab, and note whether a mine-site inspection sticker is on the windshield.
Cattle, soybean and horse farms near Hebron
Boone County holds 727 farms, led by cattle, soybeans and equine operations, in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and horse-van tractors from those farms are part of what we take.
A farm truck often carries farm plates rather than commercial registration. Bring whichever registration it has along with the title, and tell us whether it sits in a barn lot or by the road so we know what equipment to send.
The questions we get asked in Hebron
- My tractor sits at a Hebron warehouse dock, not at home - will you pick it up from the dock?Hebron’s 5,437 transportation and warehousing jobs, per the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, put a lot of tractors at loading docks rather than driveways. Give us the facility address and a contact for the gate, and we collect it there.
- Our Hebron private fleet is retiring a few tractors - can they go in one sale?Private fleets make up 43 of the 89 Hebron carriers active in FMCSA’s census. If yours is one of them, send one list of VINs, titles and parking spots, and we handle them together.
- My dump truck stays at a sand pit west of Hebron - does it have to come into town first?Belleview Sand & Gravel is 7.8 miles from Hebron and Petersburg Sand 9 miles, on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from pits like those. Tell us the site’s gate hours and who can let us in.
