Thruston sits just east of Owensboro on the Ohio River side of western Kentucky, where tank trucks load at riverfront fuel terminals, barges tie up at the riverport and grain haulers work the Daviess County fields.

Selling a truck in Thruston? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Two petroleum terminals just west of Thruston

The Energy Information Administration places the Owensboro River Terminal 2.4 miles west of Thruston, with a second petroleum product terminal, listed simply as Owensboro, at 3 miles in the same direction. Tankers and fuel tractors that shuttle between those racks and stations across the region are the kind of truck we collect around here.

If your tractor or straight-body tanker has spent its working life loading on that stretch west of town, tell us which rack it used and what product it carried. Have the title, the current registration and any tank inspection certificates together when you call, so the conversation starts with the truck instead of the paperwork hunt.

Rail and barge

Rail at Doyle, barges at the Owensboro docks

On the North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Doyle rail yard lies 3.2 miles west of Thruston. Day cabs that drayed loads off the yard tend to stay close to home, so tell us whether yours is parked near the tracks or back at a shop in town.

Further along the river, Owensboro Riverport is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a port 5.8 miles west of Thruston. A tractor that moved containers, steel or bulk between the docks and inland customers can be picked up right where it sits; send the street address and a note on gate access, plus photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel.

Stone to the southeast

Dump trucks on the Hartford Quarry road

Hartford Quarry, a crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is 21.9 miles south-east of Thruston. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump tractors hauling aggregate from that pit to job sites around Owensboro fit squarely within what we buy.

If your dump truck is still parked at a contractor’s yard out toward Hartford, we come to it rather than asking you to bring it in. Have the bed dimensions, axle configuration and VIN ready, and photograph the box and the hoist along with the cab.

Grain and tobacco

Harvest hauling on the farms around town

Thruston’s surrounding farmland is counted by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, which records 974 farms in Daviess County, with corn, soybeans and tobacco as the leading crops. Grain trucks, hopper-bottom tractors and farm straight trucks move those harvests to elevators and the river.

A farm truck often sits in a machine shed between seasons, and that is fine with us; give us the farm’s road address and tell us whether the truck is titled to you personally or to the farm operation. If it carries farm plates, mention that as well, since the plate type affects how the transfer is handled.

The St. Ann Street clerk handles Thruston titles

In Kentucky, vehicle titling runs through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and the Cabinet handles it at county clerk offices. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s listing puts Thruston’s office at the Daviess County Clerk, 212 St. Ann Street, Owensboro, 42301, about 5.2 miles from town on the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s list.

Should the title be lost, or still show a lender who has been satisfied, start the replacement or lien release at that clerk’s office before we schedule collection. Bring your ID and the VIN, and if a business owns the truck, bring proof that you can sign for it.
