A tractor or straight truck that shuttles barge freight from those docks is often parked at a terminal lot rather than in a driveway, so give us the lot’s street address and any gate or badge instructions when you get in touch.
Port work tends to leave a trail of load tickets and terminal passes. Keep the ones you have in the cab with the registration, and add photos of the cab, the fifth wheel and each side of the truck, so we can line up what you describe with what we see before a driver heads out from St. Regis Park.
Container chassis work at Appliance Park and Buechel
Two intermodal ramps sit just south-west of town on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings: Louisville’s Appliance Park ramp at 3.9 miles and the Buechel ramp at 4.6 miles. Day cabs pulling container chassis between those ramps and local warehouses are a common sight here, and we buy them as they stand.
If your day cab has been working the Buechel or Appliance Park ramps, send the VIN and a photo of the door sticker first, so we can confirm the make, model year and engine.
Switching and drayage around the Appliance Park yard
On the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration together with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Appliance Park rail yard lies 4.5 miles south-west of St. Regis Park. Yard tractors and short-haul drayage rigs that move between the yard and nearby docks are usually parked inside a fenced site when they are not working.
Tell us whether your truck can be reached from a public road or sits behind a gate. Knowing that at the start lets us plan the collection around site hours and keeps your yard manager from being surprised by a visiting driver.
Sand, gravel and crushed stone on both sides of town
Mine Safety and Health Administration records list three sites together 6.1 miles west of town: the Louisville Yard mineral processing plant and two sand and gravel operations, Bernhard Oppermann and the Dredge Miss Kate. On the east side, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Jefferson County Stone crushed-stone quarry at 6.7 miles.
Tri-axle dumps, end dumps and the tractors that pull aggregate trailers are the trucks those operations keep on the road. If yours hauled from the river plants or the quarry to the east, photograph the bed, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab, and tell us whether the truck is parked at the pit or at home.
For a truck registered here, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s clerk list names the Jefferson County Clerk at the Elections Center, 1000 East Liberty Street, Louisville, 40204-1029, some 6.5 miles from town.
If the title is missing, start the duplicate request with the Jefferson County Clerk before you call us, and keep the registration card handy in the meantime. When a lender still holds the title, have the lien release or the lender’s contact details ready so the transfer can be completed at collection.
Horse farms and cattle operations in the county
Around St. Regis Park, Jefferson County counts 264 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with equine, cattle and soybeans as the leading categories. Livestock haulers, hay trucks and grain straight trucks from those farms are welcome here just as much as port and quarry rigs.
A farm truck often carries farm plates and has spent seasons parked in a barn. Send us the plate type, the title holder’s name as it appears on the title, and a few photos taken where the truck stands, and we will work out the collection from the farm itself.
The questions we get asked in St. Regis Park
