Stone hauling from the pits up toward Hopkinsville
Up the road toward Hopkinsville, 9.5 miles north, the Hopkinsville Aggregate Quarry crushes stone under a Mine Safety and Health Administration listing. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls from that pit is often parked near it between loads, so give us the spot where it sits rather than your home address in Oak Grove.
A second stone pit, Elkton Quarry, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 15.2 miles north-east of Oak Grove. If your truck runs stone out of Elkton, photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab with the plate visible, and keep the Kentucky registration in the glovebox so the VIN can be matched on the day we collect.
The rail yard east of town at Guthrie
On the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the yard at Guthrie sits 14.8 miles east of Oak Grove. Tractors that shuttle freight between that yard and Christian County can be picked up wherever they are parked, in Guthrie or back in town.
If the tractor stays at a lot near the Guthrie tracks, tell us who holds the gate key and when the lot is open. Send the VIN and a photo of the title’s front side along with that, and the collection can be arranged around the lot rather than around your schedule.
Freight, car hauling and grain from Oak Grove yards
Oak Grove is home base for 17 active motor carriers, by the tally in FMCSA’s carrier census. Eight of them list general freight, six list motor vehicles, four list grain, feed and hay, and three list driveaway or towaway work, so car haulers and tow rigs belong on that roster as much as box trailers and hoppers.
Nine of those carriers are authorised for interstate work and eight stay inside Kentucky, while six operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. Whichever you are, the USDOT number on the door and the operating authority you held are useful to have to hand when you call.
Single-tractor outfits and the five-unit yard
The biggest Oak Grove fleet in FMCSA’s carrier census runs 5 power units with 9 drivers; the next two listed run a single power unit each, one with 4 drivers and one with 1. Selling one truck out of a five-unit yard works the same way as selling the only one: one title, one VIN, one pickup address.
Drivers recorded by FMCSA for these carriers split 21 working within 100 miles and 23 going beyond. A tractor that spends its weeks on long runs may be sitting outside Kentucky when you decide to sell, so tell us the state and town it is in now rather than where it is based.
New registrations appear in the same FMCSA census: three Oak Grove carriers started in 2024 and one in 2025. If your authority is recent and the truck is still financed, have the lender’s name and payoff contact ready so the lien can be released with the title.
Farm and job counts
Harvest trucks among the corn and tobacco fields
Around Oak Grove, Christian County holds 1,095 farms whose top crops are corn, soybeans and tobacco, per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and straight trucks that see heavy use at harvest often spend the rest of the year parked on the farm, and we can collect from a field lane or a barn lot as readily as from a yard in town.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 2,418 jobs in Oak Grove for 2023, and County Business Patterns from the same bureau records 5 construction establishments. If your truck is a contractor’s dump or flatbed, gather any service records you kept alongside the title before you send photos.
The questions we get asked in Oak Grove
- My tri-axle sits at the Hopkinsville Aggregate pit between stone loads, so must I haul it home before you collect?Hopkinsville Aggregate Quarry is 9.5 miles north of Oak Grove on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from where the truck sits. Give us the quarry contact who can wave our driver through to the truck.
- An Oak Grove owner whose Kentucky truck title has vanished: what is the route to a duplicate before the sale?Oak Grove sellers apply to Kentucky’s title agency for a duplicate, and the truck can be sold once the replacement title is in hand. Start that request before you contact us, and send the VIN and registration in the meantime.
- Do you buy car haulers and tow trucks from Oak Grove?Six Oak Grove carriers in FMCSA’s census list motor vehicles as cargo and three list driveaway or towaway work, and their trucks are ones we buy. Send the VIN, the deck or wheel-lift type and photos of the cab and the bed.
