Aggregate haulers by the Lebanon pit
Just 0.6 miles south-east of town, LEBANON QUARRY appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone pit. A dump truck or tractor that hauls aggregate out of that pit may be parked on a yard within sight of it, so when you contact us give the street address and say whether the gate is locked on weekends.
A second crushed-stone site, Airport Road Quarry, sits 23 miles north-west according to MSHA’s mine listings. If your truck splits its work between the two pits, tell us which yard it returns to at night; that is where we plan the collection, and photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab taken there help us match the truck to your description.
Grain, cattle and farm-supply hauling
Cattle come first among Marion County’s 955 farms, ahead of corn and soybeans, in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A grain trailer or livestock hauler kept in a barn lot can stay right there. We come out to the farm; mention a gravel lane or a low gate when you first call.
Among the carriers on FMCSA’s census here, 52 list grain, feed and hay as cargo and 48 list farm supplies. If your truck has hauled for a co-op or an elevator, the title in your name and a registration card are the two papers to find first; seed or feed delivery logs are useful but optional.
Private fleets and for-hire rigs on Marion County roads
There are 197 active carriers in Lebanon on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 128 of them run private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. A business that owns one or two trucks for its own deliveries can sell one without selling the business; send the VIN, the USDOT number it runs under and a few photos.
General freight shows up on 74 of those registrations and machinery or large objects on 56, per the FMCSA census. A flatbed, lowboy or step-deck rig that has moved equipment around the county is the sort of truck we collect here, and a picture of the deck and the trailer plate saves a round of questions.
Mostly in-state, mostly near home
Of the 197 Lebanon carriers, FMCSA’s census marks 160 as intrastate and 37 as interstate. A truck that has stayed inside Kentucky may carry only state registration, which is fine; have that card and the title together when we arrive.
Drivers tell a similar story: carrier filings with FMCSA put 307 drivers within 100 miles of base and 183 beyond it. The 42 carriers that reported mileage show a median of 10,000 miles a truck a year in the same census, so write down the odometer reading when you first get in touch.
Model years from the scale house
Between August 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 80 Lebanon-based trucks, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give them a median model year of 2019. Keep a recent inspection report with the title; it shows the VIN and the unit number on one sheet.
Just under a third of those 80 trucks, 32.5 percent by the FMCSA roadside count, carried a model year ten or more years back. List your model year beside the make, the engine and the transmission in your first message to us.
Plant jobs and contractor yards
Nearly half of Lebanon’s 7,770 jobs in 2023 were in manufacturing, 3,511 or 45.2 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and tractors that shuttle parts between plants are often parked in a fenced lot; arrange access with the plant or tell us who holds the key.
The same LEHD release puts wholesale trade at 254 jobs and transportation and warehousing at 61. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 22 construction establishments, and a contractor selling a dump body or a stake-bed truck can send the title, the registration and two or three photos to start.
Selling from a fleet of any size
The three biggest registrations in Lebanon on FMCSA’s carrier census run 51, 22 and 17 power units. If you manage a group of trucks, send a list with each VIN and unit number, and we can look at one or several in a single visit to the yard.
New registrations were steady, with FMCSA recording 6 new carriers in 2024 and another 6 in 2025. An owner who started out recently and is now selling a tractor should have the title, any lien release from the lender and the registration together before pickup.
The questions we get asked in Lebanon
- Will you come out to a farm in Marion County to collect a truck?Marion County has 955 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we collect from barn lots and field roads across them. Give us the farm address and say how a tow rig reaches the truck from the road.
- Can you collect a dump truck that hauls stone out of LEBANON QUARRY?LEBANON QUARRY, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 0.6 miles south-east of town, is the kind of site whose haul trucks we collect. Send the VIN, photos of the bed and the yard address.
- Does it matter that my truck has never left Kentucky?In Lebanon, 160 of the 197 carriers on FMCSA’s census are intrastate, so an in-state truck is the usual case here. Keep the Kentucky registration card and the title in the cab for collection day.
- Which details from a Lebanon truck do you ask for up front?With 42 Lebanon carriers reporting a median of 10,000 miles a truck on FMCSA’s census, the odometer reading is one of the first things we ask for, together with the VIN, the make and model year, and a handful of photos.
