Yard on the south edge
The Corbin yard, two miles south
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the CORBIN rail yard sits 2.2 miles south of North Corbin. A tractor that shuttles freight to and from a yard that close may well be parked in town or just off the yard road when you call. Give us the street address and whether a lowboy trailer can turn in there.
Trucks working rail freight here are usually day cabs pulling flatbeds, vans or containers on short hops. Before pickup, have the Kentucky title in the name that appears on your registration, plus the keys and any service records you kept, so the handover at the curb in North Corbin takes one visit.
Coal to the south-east
Coal pits a short haul below North Corbin
Mosley Branch, a coal mine 8.7 miles south-east of North Corbin, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and CHM 1 lies 10.1 miles due south on that same federal register. Dump trucks, water trucks and service rigs that work a mine site often stay on the property between shifts, so tell us whether yours is at the mine, at home in town or somewhere in between.
If the truck is still on a permit area at either mine, check who controls the gate and whether an escort is needed before we arrive. Send a few photos of the cab, the VIN plate and the body, and note any site inspection sheets you hold; they travel with the title on the day we load it.
Tipples and plants
Prep plants on both sides of the Laurel line
Two coal preparation plants appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records near here: Gatliff Tipple, 19.7 miles south, and the Manchester Complex, 22.3 miles north-east. Haul trucks running between pits and a preparation plant can end up parked at either end of the route, so let us know which side of North Corbin yours is on.
Tri-axle dumps and tractors with end-dump trailers are the usual fit for plant runs. Have the registration card and the title together, and if a lender still shows on the title, bring the lien release; that single sheet settles more pickups than anything else.
Quarry haul toward the lake
Lake Cumberland Stone to the west
West of town by 24.5 miles, Lake Cumberland Stone is a crushed-stone quarry named by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Aggregate haulers based in North Corbin may spend most days out at that pit, and we can collect from the quarry lot or from your driveway, whichever you choose.
For a quarry truck, photos of the bed, the hoist and the tag axle help us understand the setup before we schedule. Keep the plate on until the title is signed over to us, then return it as the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet directs.
Cattle, horses and corn around North Corbin
Around North Corbin, 871 farms are counted across Laurel County by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, equine and corn heading the list. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm flatbeds that serve those operations often sit in a barn lot rather than on a paved yard, so describe the ground and the gate when you contact us.
Farm trucks are sometimes titled to a family member or a farm name rather than to the driver. Check whose name is printed on the Kentucky title before we come. That person signs it over on the day we collect the truck.
The clerk on South Main in London
Kentucky titles are issued by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet through county clerk offices, and for North Corbin that is the Laurel County Clerk at 101 South Main Street, Room 203, London, 40741, about 11.3 miles from town. A duplicate for a missing title is issued there; start that request before you list the truck with us.
Bring photo identification, the VIN and your registration to the Laurel County Clerk; if the truck was owned by a business, carry proof that you can sign for it. Once the duplicate is in hand, the rest of the sale goes ahead on the schedule we agree.
One truck behind the house counts
For 2023, North Corbin held 1,105 jobs, a tally drawn from the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Many owner-operators here run a single truck from home, and we treat one tractor parked behind a house exactly as we would a yard of them.
Whether yours is a single dump truck or several units, send the year, make, model and VIN of each, along with where each one is parked. One list lets us plan a single trip through North Corbin instead of several.
