The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the DeCoursey rail yard 2.7 miles south of Wilder and the Ludlow yard 4.8 miles to the north-west. A tractor that shuttles between those two yards may be parked at either one when you decide to sell; tell us which yard, and who controls the gate, so the collection is set up with the right person.
Two petroleum product terminals listed as Covington show up in Energy Information Administration records, one 1.2 miles north-west of town and the other 4.8 miles out in the same direction. If your truck has loaded at either of them, have the registration and any terminal site paperwork together before we talk; the paperwork shows us where the truck has worked.
Quarries south-east, sand and gravel west
South-east of Wilder, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Underground Black River Operation at 17.8 miles and Butler Quarry at 18.6 miles, both crushed-stone quarries. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls stone out of those sites can stay parked at the quarry lot; send us the address and photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate and we plan the pickup there.
West of town, Belleview Sand & Gravel Inc sits 18.9 miles away and PLANT #1 another 21.2 miles out, according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Owners who run aggregate between those pits and job sites around Campbell County should keep the title in hand and note which pit the truck sits nearest, so we know which side of the county we are driving to.
Whichever of those your truck has carried, tell us the trailer type it pulled; a flatbed tractor and a dry van tractor get different questions from us.
Of those 27 carriers in the federal census, 20 are authorised for interstate work and 7 stay intrastate, while 17 run as private fleets hauling their own goods. If your truck belonged to a private fleet, the company that holds the title is the seller, so have someone with signing authority for that business ready.
Fleet sizes on FMCSA’s census for Wilder range up to 33 power units with 31 drivers, alongside one of 30 power units with 33 drivers and another of 12 power units with 11 drivers. Selling several units from one fleet works the same way as one: list each VIN and where each truck is parked, and we take them one title at a time.
Across 14 Wilder carriers that report it to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median is 12,917 miles per truck a year. Write down the current odometer reading before you contact us, since it is one of the first things we ask along with the VIN.
The same federal census records 122 drivers at Wilder carriers working within 100 miles of base and 48 going beyond that. A truck that works local routes is usually back at the yard each night, which makes it simple to tell us one address where it will be when we arrive.
Box trucks and tractors that deliver for distributors here are trucks we buy; have the registration and the most recent service records together when you reach out.
Construction makes up 279 jobs, or 11.9 percent, and manufacturing 175, or 7.5 percent, per the LEHD job counts for 2023. A contractor’s dump truck or a plant’s flatbed can be collected straight from the job site or the plant lot, so give us the site address and a contact on the ground.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 493 farms in Campbell County, with cattle, corn and equine as the leading categories. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and horse-hauling tractors from those farms are part of what we take; tell us which farm road the truck sits on.
Farm trucks are often titled to the farm operation rather than a person, so check whose name is on the title before you call.
