Aggregate trucks between the Pewee Valley quarries
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Jefferson County Stone, a crushed-stone quarry, 3.1 miles south of Pewee Valley, and Oldham County Stone about 4 miles to the north-west. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs aggregate out of either pit can be collected right where it is parked between loads; give us the yard address and tell us whether a lowboy or a tow truck can reach it.
If your truck hauls rock from those two pits, photograph the bed, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab and the VIN plate, so the body is documented as clearly as the tractor.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Louisville Yard mineral processing plant about 12.7 miles west, beside two sand and gravel operations, Bernhard Oppermann and Dredge Miss Kate. A truck that splits its week between the Oldham quarries and those riverside sites is the kind of working unit we buy, and we will come to whichever site it sits at.
Ford yard, west side
A rail yard named for a Ford truck plant
On the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a rail yard called FORD TRUCK PLANT sits 2.3 miles west of Pewee Valley. Driveaway and towaway outfits and car haulers that shuttle units off yards like that are part of the local mix, and if yours did that work, tell us what it pulled and for how long.
Owners near that yard often keep a tractor at home between runs. Send us the street address, the VIN and the odometer reading, and we can plan collection from your driveway or lot rather than asking you to move the truck.
Port and ramp, south-west
Containers off the Louisville-Jefferson docks and Appliance Park
Down toward the Ohio River, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Louisville-Jefferson Port 12.6 miles south-west of Pewee Valley and the Appliance Park rail intermodal ramp at 12.7 miles in the same direction. Day cabs that drag containers or flatbeds between those two terminals fit what we purchase.
If your tractor has worked the port or the ramp, keep any gate tickets, terminal access cards or annual inspection reports with the title. Hand those over at pickup along with the keys, and remove any transponders or permits that belong to the terminal rather than to the truck.
A dozen private fleets among sixteen carriers
Sixteen active carriers are based in Pewee Valley according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and twelve of them run private fleets that move their own goods. Five carry general freight, five haul machinery and large objects, two do utility work and one handles driveaway or towaway loads. Whichever of those your truck did, describe the body or trailer setup when you first reach us.
That same federal register counts ten intrastate operators against six that cross state lines, and FMCSA’s driver tally shows 32 working within 100 miles of base while only 7 go farther. A truck that stayed inside Kentucky should still come with its current registration and any state inspection paperwork you hold.
None of the local outfits is big: FMCSA’s census puts the three largest at two power units each, one with eight drivers on the roster. Selling a single tractor or a pair from a fleet that size is routine for us, and we can collect both on one visit if they are parked together.
Median mileage among local tractors
Across the five Pewee Valley carriers that report mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median comes to 17,564 miles per truck each year. Put the exact odometer figure in your first message, and a dashboard photo so the number and the VIN arrive together.
New registrations stay modest in the same census, with one carrier added in 2024 and one in 2025. If you bought a truck recently to start one of those operations and now want to sell it, have the bill of sale and the title in your name before we schedule the pickup.
Builders, jobs and Oldham County horse farms
Eleven construction establishments operate in the area according to the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 262 jobs located in Pewee Valley. Contractors’ dump trucks, stake beds and equipment haulers from that work are all trucks we buy.
Around Pewee Valley, Oldham County holds 410 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with equine, soybeans and bison listed as its leading products. A livestock hauler, grain truck or farm flatbed parked in a barn lot out here can be collected from the farm itself; tell us how the gate and the lane are laid out so the right recovery truck comes.
Crestwood, under a mile
The clerk’s branch office in Crestwood
Kentucky titles go through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, which works through county clerk offices. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet lists the nearest as the Oldham County Clerk - Crestwood Branch Office at 6710 West Hwy 146, Crestwood, 40014, just 0.9 miles from Pewee Valley.
If the title is lost or still shows a lienholder, that Crestwood branch is where a replacement or a lien release gets recorded. Bring your ID and the VIN, then send us a photo of the clean title once you have it so pickup can be booked.
The questions we get asked in Pewee Valley
- My dump truck is parked at a stone pit outside Pewee Valley - will you pick it up from the pit?Jefferson County Stone is 3.1 miles south and Oldham County Stone about 4 miles north-west, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from sites like those. Tell us which pit, where on it the truck sits and who holds the gate key.
- Which Oldham County office reissues a Kentucky truck title I’ve misplaced?The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet handles titles through the Oldham County Clerk - Crestwood Branch Office at 6710 West Hwy 146, Crestwood, 0.9 miles away. Apply for the replacement at that Crestwood counter and photograph the new title for us when it arrives.
- Out of my two Pewee Valley power units, can I sell only one tractor?Twelve of the sixteen Pewee Valley carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census are private fleets, and the largest run two power units, so a one-truck sale from a small fleet is ordinary for us. Share the VIN, odometer and a few photos of whichever tractor is leaving the fleet.
- Do you buy trucks that haul for horse farms around Oldham County?Oldham County’s 410 farms list equine first in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and horse vans, livestock trailers’ tractors and farm flatbeds are all trucks we purchase. Tell us the farm address and how the lane reaches the barn.
