Two stone pits, west and south-east of town
West of town by 6.4 miles, Montgomery Stone works crushed stone, per its Mine Safety and Health Administration record. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls aggregate out of that pit may well be sitting at the quarry gate or a contractor’s yard on the west side of town when you sell it; tell us which, and who can let us in.
Farther out, Natural Bridge Stone sits 18.8 miles south-east of town, according to the same Mine Safety and Health Administration listing. A stone truck kept down that way can stay there for collection. Send the address, the VIN and photos of the bed, the cab and the tires, and we plan the collection around that spot.
Private fleets and in-state haulers on the Montgomery County roll
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 278 active carriers here, and 207 of them are private fleets moving their own goods rather than freight for hire. A farm, a quarry contractor or a building firm that owns two or three trucks is the typical seller in this town, so have the title in the business’s name ready along with whoever signs for the company.
Of those 278 carriers, 238 operate within Kentucky only and 40 cross state lines, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. An intrastate truck that never left Kentucky still needs its title and current registration on hand; an interstate one should also come with its most recent inspection report.
Fleet sizes run small. The three biggest operations registered here, per FMCSA, run 55, 47 and 24 power units. Whether you are selling one truck or several from a yard that size, list each unit’s VIN and where it is parked, and we take them one by one.
Heavy equipment loads and timber hauls
General freight leads the cargo list in the carrier census, with 88 carriers, and 70 haul machinery and large objects. A lowboy tractor or a heavy-haul unit that moves equipment between job sites is a truck we take; include photos of the deck and the fifth wheel along with the cab.
Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 33 carrier registrations in the FMCSA census, the same number that list farm supplies. A log truck or a flatbed that runs timber can be collected from the landing, the mill yard or your own lot. Tell us whether a loaded trailer is still attached so we know what to send.
Barn lots and grain trucks off the county roads
Montgomery County has 528 farms, and cattle, corn and soybeans head the list in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A grain truck, a stock trailer tractor or a feed hauler parked in a barn lot off a county road is fine where it is; give us directions a stranger could follow and say whether the gate is locked.
Look at whose name the Montgomery County farm truck’s title actually carries, whether yours, a parent’s or the farm’s. Check the name on the title before you call, and if it belongs to an estate, have the paperwork that lets you sign for it.
Construction and rail
Job sites and the Paris rail yard
Construction accounts for 178 of the 4,853 jobs located here in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show, and County Business Patterns lists 39 construction establishments in the area. Dump trucks, mixers and service bodies from those contractors can be collected straight from the job site; give us the site address and a phone number for whoever is on it.
Out 19.3 miles to the north-west sits the PARIS rail yard, mapped on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics keep. If your truck shuttles between that yard and local customers, we can collect it at the yard end instead of in town; just say where it is usually parked.
FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 to August 2026 cover 131 trucks from carriers here, with a median model year of 2020 and 33.6 percent ten or more years old. Whichever end of that range yours falls on, read us the model year and odometer from the truck itself, and send a photo of the VIN plate.
Mount Sterling’s 43 carriers filing yearly mileage with FMCSA put a typical truck at 14,419 miles. Of the drivers registered here, the carrier census counts 378 working within 100 miles and 257 beyond it. Keep the service records in the cab when we come; they show what the truck has done better than photos can.
The questions we get asked in Mount Sterling
- Our tri-axle sits at the Montgomery Stone pit west of town; can it be picked up there?Montgomery Stone is 6.4 miles west of Mount Sterling in the Mine Safety and Health Administration listing, and we collect from the quarry. Name the quarry contact who opens the gate, and we line up the pickup with that person.
- Who signs for a Montgomery County grain truck titled to the family farm?With 528 farms in Montgomery County per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, farm-titled trucks are common here. Whoever is authorised to sign for the farm signs the title, so have that person available when we collect.
- Our Mount Sterling yard holds several trucks; will you buy all of them together?FMCSA lists the biggest fleets in Mount Sterling at 55, 47 and 24 power units, and we buy one truck or a whole yard. List every unit’s VIN beside the lot it stands on in Montgomery County.
