Thirty-two small outfits in Livermore
Of the 32 active Livermore carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 29 are private fleets moving their owners’ own crops, supplies and equipment. If your truck belongs to a farm, a contractor or a family business here, it most likely sits at the yard or the barn where it works, and that is where we collect it.
Only 4 of the town’s carriers are registered for interstate work, while 28 stay inside Kentucky, according to the same FMCSA census. A truck that has never crossed the state line still sells the same way: send us the VIN, the Kentucky title and a few clear photos of the cab, frame and tires.
The biggest operators in Livermore are small: the FMCSA census shows the top three running 6, 6 and 5 power units. Owners with two or three trucks to move can list them together in one request, and we can plan to pick them up from the same lot.
Soybeans, corn and the trucks that haul them
Around Livermore, McLean County has 346 farms, with soybeans, corn and cattle as the leading products in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain hoppers, straight trucks with dump beds and cattle haulers are the equipment that harvest season keeps busy here, and all of them are trucks we buy.
Fifteen Livermore carriers list machinery and large objects as cargo, and 14 list grain, feed and hay, by FMCSA’s carrier census; 13 carry farm supplies and 13 general freight. If your tractor has pulled a lowboy for combines or a step deck for implements, tell us the trailer type when you write, and whether it goes with the truck.
A farm truck parked between harvests at a field edge or machine shed is fine where it stands. Give us the address and a note on the lane or gate, and keep the registration and any service invoices in the cab so they travel with it.
Livermore drivers on a short tether
Of the 158 drivers on Livermore carriers’ FMCSA filings, 148 work within a hundred-mile radius of base and just 10 go farther. If your truck works that kind of local route, tell us where it is parked between runs.
Among the 5 Livermore carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median truck logged 5,369 miles in a year. Write the current odometer reading down before you contact us; it is one of the first things we ask, along with the VIN.
Registrations in town picked up again recently: FMCSA’s census records 4 new Livermore carriers in 2025 after none in 2024. A newly registered owner selling a first truck needs the same items as anyone else, a signed title in the owner’s name and the photos.
Owensboro’s riverport, rail and fuel terminals
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Owensboro Riverport 18.4 miles north of Livermore. Trucks that shuttle grain or bulk loads to the barges there often end the day at the port or a nearby lot, so if yours is parked up there, give us that address instead of your home one.
A short way past the riverport, the Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals, OWENSBORO at 20.2 miles and OWENSBORO RIVER TERMINAL at 21 miles. Fuel tankers and tank trailers that load at those racks are welcome; tell us what product the tank last held and send a photo of its plate.
Rail sits on both sides of town: the North American Rail Network shows the DOYLE yard 19.9 miles north and ATKINSON NORTH 22.1 miles west. If your truck has worked transload jobs at either yard, mention it so we know what trailer or body to expect.
Aggregate from Hartford, coal from Cardinal
East of Livermore, Hartford Quarry produces crushed stone 18.9 miles out, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate from there to road and farm jobs fit what we purchase; send a photo of the bed and hoist along with the cab.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists CARDINAL, a coal mine 22.8 miles west of town. A truck used on mine property may carry site inspection sheets or safety checklists, and those belong in the folder with the title.
Construction is a small trade in town, with 3 construction establishments on record in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Contractors with a single dump truck or flatbed can sell it from the job yard or the driveway; just tell us where it will be.
Getting a Kentucky title in order in Calhoun
Kentucky titles go through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, which handles them at county clerk offices; for Livermore that is the McLean County Clerk at 210 Main Street, Calhoun, 42327, 16.7 miles from town. If the title is lost or still lists a lender you have cleared, sort it out at that counter before we pick the truck up.
Check that the name on the title matches the registration and the seller’s ID. If a business owns the truck, bring the document showing who can sign for it, and keep a copy of any lien release the clerk stamps.
Fort south
South of Livermore toward the training center
Fifteen and a third miles south of Livermore, the NG WH Ford Regional Tng Ctr appears as a military installation in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. Contractors who haul to and from installations like that one sometimes park trucks near the gate rather than at home.
Wherever your truck is kept, a pin drop or a street address and a note about access is enough for us to plan the collection. We can meet at a farm, a yard or a parking lot.
The questions we get asked in Livermore
- My Livermore truck title has gone missing; who issues a duplicate in Calhoun?The McLean County Clerk at 210 Main Street in Calhoun, 16.7 miles from Livermore, issues titles for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. A duplicate from that Calhoun counter lets the sale go ahead.
- Do you buy grain trucks and cattle haulers from farms around Livermore?McLean County’s 346 farms, led by soybeans, corn and cattle in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, run exactly those trucks, and we buy them. Include the hopper or trailer type with your Livermore listing.
- Will you pick up a Livermore truck that is sitting at the Owensboro Riverport?The riverport sits 18.4 miles north of Livermore, by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ listing, and we can collect from the port lot or any yard nearby. Tell us which riverport lot holds the truck and who opens the gate.
- Can a Livermore owner with one Kentucky-only truck still sell it?Twenty-eight of Livermore’s 32 carriers in FMCSA’s census are intrastate only, so a single in-state truck is the usual case here. It sells with a clear title and photos like any other.
