Aggregate haulers between Plano’s two pits
Franklin Quarry & Mill, a crushed-stone operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 8.6 miles south-west of Plano. A tri-axle or quad-axle dump truck that has hauled aggregate out of that pit can be sold from wherever it is parked, whether at the quarry, at a yard in town or behind a house off a county road. Tell us the location and whether a trailer can turn around there.
Toward Bowling Green, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records a second crushed-stone site, Bowling Green South Quarry, 10.1 miles north-west of town. Owners of rock trucks, end dumps or water trucks that worked either quarry should gather the title, the current registration and any service invoices before calling. Photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab help us understand the truck before we see it in person.
Plenty of Plano trucks split their time between both pits. If yours did, say which jobs it ran and for how long; a short history like that answers most of our questions up front.
Memphis Junction, Bristow and the yards around town
Memphis Jct, a rail yard 6.3 miles north-west of Plano, appears on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Day cabs and flatbed tractors that shuttle freight to and from a yard like that are a regular part of what we purchase in Warren County. Have the VIN and odometer reading ready when you contact us.
Bristow, another yard on the Federal Railroad Administration’s rail network, is 9.8 miles due north. A tractor that runs short hauls between Bristow and local warehouses may be sitting at a terminal lot rather than at home; give us the gate details and any contact on site, and we will arrange collection where the truck stands.
If you hold a lease or loan on the tractor, mention it at the start. Knowing who holds the lien lets us line up the release alongside the title transfer.
Liquid bulk at RJ Corman, west of Plano
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists RJ Corman as a liquid bulk terminal 11.1 miles west of town. Tank trucks and tractors that pulled tankers in and out of that terminal are welcome here, and so are straight trucks with fuel or water tanks mounted on the chassis.
For tank equipment, keep any tank inspection certificates with the title. Send photos of the tank’s data plate, the valves and the cab interior, and note whether the tank is coming with the truck or staying behind.
Hoppers, grain beds and cattle pots off Plano’s farm lanes
Around Plano, Warren County holds 1,530 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and corn, soybeans and cattle top its list. Grain trucks, hopper-bottom tractors and cattle pots that serve those farms often sit in a barn lot or a field edge between seasons. We collect from farm ground as readily as from a paved yard; just tell us the gate and the lane.
Farm trucks registered on agricultural plates still need a title in the seller’s name to change hands. If the title is in a parent’s or a partner’s name, sort that out with the county clerk before the pickup date so nothing holds up the handover.
A stock trailer or grain trailer can go along with the tractor if you want it gone too. Mention it when you first call and include a photo of each piece.
Replacing a lost title from Plano in Bowling Green
In Kentucky, titles are handled through county clerk offices under the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. For Plano owners that office is the Warren County Clerk at 429 East 10th Street, Suite 100, Bowling Green, 42102, a drive of 8.1 miles according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s clerk listing.
If the title has gone missing, ask the clerk’s office for a duplicate and bring your registration and photo ID. Once the duplicate is in hand, the rest of the sale moves on as usual, and we handle the paperwork with you at collection.
