Eleven miles down the road toward Fredonia, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Amrize Fredonia Quarry as a crushed-stone operation. A dump truck or tractor that runs stone out of that pit is often parked near the scale house or at the operator’s own yard, so tell us which lot it sits on and who can let us through the gate.
Warren Paving Slats Lucas Quarry is another crushed-stone site on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, about 13.2 miles south-west. If your truck splits its shifts between the two quarries, send the address of the lot where it is usually kept, and we collect it from there.
Further out on the same south-western heading, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Klondike II as an industrial-mineral mine 15.1 miles from town. Mine-site trucks usually carry site access cards and inspection sheets, and copies of those belong in the folder with the title when you contact us.
Grain hoppers, log rigs and lowboys on Marion’s carrier rolls
Of the 171 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Marion, 70 list grain, feed and hay among their cargo, 60 list logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 58 list farm supplies. A grain hopper, a log trailer rig or a flatbed for feed sacks are all trucks we take, and photos of the tractor and the trailer together tell us which kind you are selling.
Machinery and large objects appear on 53 Marion carrier records in that same FMCSA census. Lowboy tractors and heavy-haul units like these often sit at a farm shop or an equipment yard outside town, so give us directions to the building and note whether a lowboy needs a wide turn to get in.
Out in the countryside around Marion, Crittenden County counted 512 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and wheat the leading crops. If your truck hauled harvest loads and now waits in a barn lot, a VIN photo and the odometer reading are the two things to send first.
Marion trucks that rarely cross the state line
Most Marion operators stay in Kentucky: FMCSA’s carrier census lists 149 intrastate carriers against 22 that cross state lines, and 132 of the 171 run private fleets hauling their own goods. A farm or business truck that never left the state still sells to us the same way; the Kentucky title in the owner’s name is what matters.
Driver records filed with FMCSA show 227 Marion drivers working within 100 miles of base and 91 beyond that radius. If the truck you are selling is a long-haul unit currently parked out of state, tell us where it is; collection follows the truck, not the home address.
Among the 23 Marion carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 10,000 miles a truck each year. Read the odometer yourself before you call and give us the exact figure, so the paperwork and the truck agree.
The 2015 median among inspected Marion tractors
Twenty-five Marion trucks stopped at roadside between September 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2015, with 56 percent at ten model years or older. Whatever the year on your title, have the registration and any service invoices together so the truck’s history is easy to follow.
The biggest Marion fleets in FMCSA’s census run 27, 11 and 7 power units. An owner selling several tractors from one yard can list every VIN in one message, and we can arrange to collect them from that single address.
County clerk
A missing title and the Crittenden County Clerk
Titles in Kentucky are handled by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet through county clerk offices, and the Crittenden County Clerk sits at 200 Industrial Drive, Suite 8, Marion, 42064, just 1.2 miles from the town centre. If the title is lost or the lienholder never released it, start the replacement there before we arrange collection.
Bring photo identification and the VIN to the clerk’s counter. Where a bank still shows on the title, ask the lender for a lien release letter and take it with you to the clerk, along with the old title if you still have it.
From the Princeton rail yard to Kuttawa asphalt
To the south-east, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows a rail yard at Princeton, 18.2 miles from Marion. Trucks that shuttle freight to that yard can be collected from wherever they are kept between runs, in Princeton or back in Marion.
The Energy Information Administration lists Kuttawa KY Asphalt, a petroleum product terminal, 21.7 miles south of town. If your tractor pulled asphalt or fuel trailers from Kuttawa, mention which trailer stays with the sale and which goes back to the terminal operator.
Manufacturing sits beside that hauling in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, which place 350 of Marion’s 1,698 jobs, or 20.6 percent, in that sector. A box truck or straight truck that served a plant on the edge of town is one more truck we collect from the loading dock.
The questions we get asked in Marion
- I misplaced the title to my grain truck and the clerk in Marion is close by; is that where a new one comes from?The Crittenden County Clerk, at 200 Industrial Drive, Suite 8, Marion, is 1.2 miles from town and handles titles for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Take your ID and VIN there to apply for the replacement.
- Our tandem dump truck stays at the Fredonia stone pit, so can you pick it up from the quarry gate itself?Amrize Fredonia Quarry, 11.1 miles south on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, is the kind of pit lot we drive out to. Tell us which gate to use and who holds the key on collection day.
- Do you buy grain and log trucks from Marion farms?Grain, feed and hay appear on 70 of Marion’s 171 carrier records in FMCSA’s census, and logs and lumber on 60, so those trucks are central to what we buy here. A photo of the hopper or log bunks beside the tractor, plus its VIN, gets things moving.
