A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls from that pit is likely parked close to it, so give us the yard address rather than a town address and we will collect it there.
South of town, 7.7 miles out by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, is BARREN COUNTY STONE, a second crushed-stone quarry. If your truck has worked loads between the two, photograph the bed, the hoist and the VIN plate, and tell us which quarry it last ran from so we know where to send the pickup.
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 67 active carriers in Horse Cave, and 54 of them are intrastate operators while 13 cross state lines. A Kentucky-only truck may carry a different registration from an interstate tractor, so have the current registration card with the title when you contact us.
Private fleets make up 43 of those 67 carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, meaning most trucks here haul the owner’s own goods rather than for hire. If your truck belongs to a farm or business fleet, the person named on the title is the person who signs; check that name before we schedule anything.
Selling one unit from a small fleet like these is routine for us; list the unit number and VIN of each truck you want gone so nothing gets mixed up on collection day.
General freight is the leading cargo, claimed by 27 carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by grain, feed and hay at 17. Hopper-bottom tractors and day cabs that pull grain trailers are trucks we buy, and a seller should note whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind.
Farm supplies and logs, poles, beams and lumber each show up for 13 local carriers in that same FMCSA census. A log truck or a flatbed rig often sits at a farm or a woodlot rather than a shop, so tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck to reach it.
Around the town, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,283 farms across Hart County, with cattle, soybeans and corn leading. A livestock hauler or grain truck kept on one of those farms can stay right where it is; we come to the farm gate for it.
Fleet years on file
Have the exact year, make and model ready from the title, since that is the first thing we ask.
Whatever year your truck is, send recent inspection reports or service records along with photos, so we see its history on paper as well as in pictures.
Among 14 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median is 38,421 miles a truck each year. Read the odometer before you call and include a photo of it; with that number and the VIN in hand, we can ask the right questions about your Horse Cave truck.
The clerk’s office in Munfordville
Kentucky titles are issued by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet through county clerk offices, and for Horse Cave that office is the Hart County Clerk at 200 Main Street, Munfordville, 42765, 7.2 miles away. If the title is lost, a replacement starts there.
Bring a photo ID and the VIN to the Hart County Clerk when applying for a duplicate. If a lender is still listed on the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet title, get the lien release first, because the title has to be clear before the truck changes hands.
Factory work nearby
Box trucks and tractors that shuttle parts or finished goods between plants are part of what we buy; tell us the body type and length when you write.
A contractor’s dump truck or flatbed parked at a job site can be collected from that site, so share the location and any gate hours.
The questions we get asked in Horse Cave
- Can you collect a truck parked near the Hart County Stone quarry?Hart County Stone is 0.9 miles north-east of Horse Cave on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, and we collect from quarry yards like it; give us the address and the contact who can open the gate.
- Does an intrastate truck need anything different?Most Horse Cave carriers, 54 of 67 on FMCSA’s carrier census, run only inside Kentucky; send the title and current registration whatever your operating authority.
