Farm supplies and grain
What the carriers around Pleasureville carry
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 50 active carriers based around Pleasureville, and of those, 24 declare farm supplies as cargo, 20 declare machinery and large objects, 18 declare grain, feed and hay, and 16 declare general freight. A tractor that has pulled a hopper or a flatbed out of a Henry County barn lot is the kind of truck that comes out of that mix, and when you contact us, say which of those loads yours carried and where it was usually parked between runs.
Thirty-six of those carriers run inside Kentucky only and 14 cross state lines, by the same FMCSA census, and 37 of the 50 are private fleets hauling their own goods rather than for hire. A private-fleet truck often has its registration and service records filed with the business rather than kept in the cab; gather them from the office before you send photos, along with the title in the owner’s name.
Stone out of the Lockport pit and Harrod’s quarry
LOCKPORT MINE, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 11.7 miles north-east of Pleasureville, is the nearer of the two pits that feed stone onto the county roads here. Dump trucks and tractors pulling end-dump or belly-dump trailers that have loaded stone there spend their days on short county-road cycles, and if yours is one of them, the scale tickets and any plant inspection paperwork belong in the pile you have ready when we talk.
Eighteen miles to the south-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration also records Harrod Concrete & Stone Co Inc, a second crushed-stone quarry. A truck that has worked both pits does not need to leave the stone yard to be sold: tell us whose lot it sits on and who can open the gate, and we collect it where it stands. Photograph the bed, the tailgate and the frame rails from the ground so what we see matches what you describe.
Grain and machinery to the yards at Shelbyville and McCormick
On the North American Rail Network, the SHELBYVILLE MIX CTR rail yard lies 14.1 miles south-west of Pleasureville, and SOUTH MCCORMICK, a second yard, lies 19.4 miles north. Day cabs that have shuttled grain or machinery between a Henry County farm and either yard are trucks we buy, and the VIN and the odometer reading are the first two things to send, since every other question follows from them.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the NG Frankfort Boone NG Center, a military installation, 15.9 miles south-east of town. Between the two yards, the two quarries and that installation, a Pleasureville truck can end up parked in any direction, and we plan the collection around where it is rather than asking you to bring it into town.
Hopper trailers and livestock loads out of Pleasureville
Around Pleasureville, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 719 farms in Henry County, with cattle, corn and soybeans the leading products. Cattle pots, grain hoppers and the tractors that pull them in and out of farm lanes are the trucks this country produces, and a farm truck is often titled to the farm business rather than to the person who drove it, so check whose name the title carries before you send it.
Of the 12 carriers near Pleasureville that reported mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median works out to 5,865 miles per truck a year. Tell us what the truck did in a typical week; a tractor that mostly ran inside the county is parked at the farm, and that is where we come to collect it.
Short-radius drivers and the fleets that run them near Pleasureville
FMCSA’s carrier census puts 60 drivers around Pleasureville on runs within a hundred miles of their base and 29 on runs beyond it. A truck on the short radius comes home every night, and its registration, inspection stickers and fuel receipts are usually in the cab or the office; put them with the title before you call.
The three largest fleets FMCSA records near town run 10 power units with 11 drivers, 10 with 10, and 5 with 4. A fleet owner letting go of one or two of those units can sell them one at a time or together; list each VIN separately, with its own photos, and tell us which yard they share.
Clerk, title, photos
What the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet needs from a Pleasureville seller
Titles in Kentucky are issued by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the paperwork is done at county clerk offices, so a Pleasureville owner with a lost title starts at the county clerk rather than at a state building. Bring the VIN, the registration and photo identification when you ask for a duplicate, and tell us the duplicate is in progress; we can take the photos and the description while you wait on it.
County Business Patterns counts 6 construction establishments around Pleasureville, and a dump truck or a lowboy tractor owned by one of them is usually titled to the business. Have an officer of the company ready to sign, and send the registration card with the photos: the cab from both sides, the rear tires, the fifth wheel or the bed, and the dash with the odometer showing.
The questions we get asked in Pleasureville
- The truck sits on the LOCKPORT MINE lot north-east of Pleasureville rather than in town. Does a quarry lot that far out of Pleasureville still get collected from?LOCKPORT MINE is 11.7 miles north-east of Pleasureville by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, and we collect from the quarry lot as readily as from a driveway in town. Give us the name of whoever opens the quarry gate and the hours the lot keeps.
- The title for a truck kept in Pleasureville has gone missing; where in Henry County does the duplicate come from?The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issues Kentucky titles and handles the paperwork at county clerk offices, so the Henry County clerk is where a Pleasureville owner applies for a duplicate. Take the VIN and the registration with you, and tell us the application is in.
- The truck hauled grain between the farm and the SHELBYVILLE MIX CTR yard. Do you take a hopper tractor like that?Grain, feed and hay is declared as cargo by 18 of the 50 carriers FMCSA’s census lists around Pleasureville, and the SHELBYVILLE MIX CTR yard sits 14.1 miles south-west of town on the North American Rail Network, so a hopper tractor that ran that route is exactly the truck we are after. Send the VIN, the odometer reading and photos of the tractor from each side.
- The truck belongs to our farm, not to me. What paperwork does the farm need to have ready?USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 719 farms in Henry County, and many of the trucks around Pleasureville are titled to a farm business. Have the title, the registration and someone authorised to sign for the business ready, and tell us where on the farm the truck is parked.
