Selling a truck in Jenkins? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Quarry on the hill

Stone from the quarry above town

Pine Mountain Stone, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 4.3 miles north-east of Jenkins, is the closest working site to town. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls aggregate off that hill can be collected at the quarry yard or at your house; tell us which, and who can let us in.

Before you contact us about a quarry truck, take photos of the bed, the hoist, the cab and the VIN plate in daylight. With the title in hand and those pictures sent, a stone hauler parked up near Pine Mountain needs nothing else from you to get started.

Coal haulers working the mines to the west

Two coal mines on the Mine Safety and Health Administration list sit close to town: No 3, about 12.6 miles west, and Trace Fork, roughly 13 miles south-west. Coal and coke is the cargo named by 26 of the carriers based in Jenkins on FMCSA’s carrier census, ahead of any other load type there.

If your coal truck is still parked near one of those mines, it can stay there. Send the mine road or the lot address, a phone number for whoever holds the gate key, and the registration, and the collection gets planned around the site.

Coal prep plants at Pioneer and Spurlock

Further from town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Pioneer Preparation Plant 22.3 miles west and the Spurlock Plant 24.9 miles north, both coal preparation plants. Tractors and end-dumps running raw coal into those plants are among the trucks we buy from Letcher County owners.

A truck that shuttled to Pioneer or Spurlock may carry scale tickets or site entry records in the cab. Keep any you find with the title; they tell us where it worked, and they cost you nothing to hand over.

Coal, logs, lowboys

Small coal, log and machinery outfits in Jenkins

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 69 active carriers in Jenkins, and 57 of them run intrastate against 12 that cross state lines; 41 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Beyond coal, the same census shows 16 listing general freight, 9 machinery and large objects, and 7 logs, poles, beams and lumber.

Small outfits dominate here: the three biggest fleets on that census run 8, 7 and 6 power units. Whether you own one log truck or a lowboy rig that moves machinery between job sites, we deal with the owner directly, and one truck is reason enough to call.

Most driving stays close to home, too. On FMCSA’s census 117 drivers work inside a hundred-mile radius of Jenkins and 27 go beyond it, and the ten carriers reporting mileage show a median of 10,000 miles per truck a year.

Inspection stops put the typical rig at model year 2005

Of the 45 trucks from Jenkins carriers stopped between October 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2005, with 88.9 percent at ten years old or more. An older model year is simply a fact on the title, and we buy trucks of every year.

If your truck went through one of those inspections, keep the report with the registration. Along with any service invoices, it gives a dated record of the truck that you can send with the photos.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet

Letcher County clerk and the Transportation Cabinet

In Kentucky the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet handles vehicle titles, and its titling work is done through county clerk offices. For a truck registered in Jenkins, that means the Letcher County clerk is where a lost title gets replaced.

Start that request before you sell if the title is missing, and bring the VIN and your identification with you. If a lender is still shown on the title, a release from that lender belongs in the same folder.

Farms, jobs and new carriers near Jenkins

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 71 farms across Letcher County, with cattle, tomatoes and goats the leading products. A stock trailer tractor or a farm flatbed kept on one of those places qualifies too, and we come out to the farm to collect it.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 265 jobs inside Jenkins for 2023, and a truck that served any of that work fits what we collect. New carriers keep registering here as well: FMCSA’s census shows 3 new ones in 2025 and 2 in 2024, so a truck bought for a startup that has since closed is welcome too.

The questions we get asked in Jenkins

  • My coal truck is parked up at a mine site outside Jenkins; can it stay there?Trace Fork, a coal mine the Mine Safety and Health Administration places about 13 miles south-west of town, is within reach, as are the other mines nearby, and we collect from the site itself. Tell us the mine road and who holds the key to the gate there.
  • Who reissues a lost truck title for an owner living in Jenkins?Kentucky’s titles run through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet via county clerk offices, so the Letcher County clerk handles a replacement. Take the truck’s VIN and a photo ID to the clerk’s counter.
  • Do you buy log and lumber trucks as well as coal trucks?Seven Jenkins carriers on FMCSA’s census haul logs, poles, beams and lumber, and those trucks are as welcome as coal haulers. Photos of the log bunks and the VIN plate are a good first step.
  • Will you take a truck built around 2005 from Jenkins?The median truck from Jenkins carriers in FMCSA roadside inspection records is a 2005, so that year is common here, and we buy every model year.
