Quarries on either side of Wilmore
Lexington Quarry, a crushed-stone operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 6.9 miles north-east of town, is the nearer of the two pits. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls aggregate out of there is likely parked at a yard or a jobsite rather than at a house, so give us that address when you get in touch.
To the south-west, Mercer Stone Company appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 11.5 miles from Wilmore. If your truck splits its loads between the two quarries, send a photo of the body and the tailgate along with the cab and the data plate, and tell us which pit it usually loads at so we can find it.
Norfolk Southern and RJCC tracks, plus fuel tanks, north-east of town
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the LEXINGTON (NS) yard 14.3 miles north-east and the LEXINGTON (RJCC) yard 14.8 miles out in the same direction. Tractors that shuttle to those yards and back to Jessamine County can be collected at either end of the run; tell us where it sleeps at night.
Two petroleum product terminals named LEXINGTON sit 14.3 miles north-east on Energy Information Administration listings, and a liquid bulk terminal stands 14.8 miles away according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. For a tank truck or fuel hauler from that corridor, keep the tank inspection paperwork with the title, since those records travel with the vehicle.
Freight, lowboys and car haulers on Wilmore’s books
Of the 44 active Wilmore carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, just 7 cross into other states while 37 keep their hauling inside Kentucky. Most of those sellers will be handing over a Kentucky title, so check that the name on it matches yours before we schedule the pickup.
General freight and machinery or large objects each account for 13 carriers in the federal census kept by FMCSA, with motor vehicles at 10 and farm supplies at 5. A lowboy tractor, a car hauler and a box truck are all trucks we buy, and the cargo line on your registration tells us which trailer questions to ask.
Of the 44, 27 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA’s census. If your truck belongs to a business rather than to you personally, bring the paperwork showing who can sign for the company.
Jessamine County runs that stay near the Kentucky River country
Drivers working for Wilmore carriers stay within 100 miles 78 percent of the time, with 22 percent going beyond that, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Tell us where the truck is parked and give us a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
A median truck among the ten Wilmore carriers that file mileage with FMCSA logs 17,805 miles in a year. Read the odometer and send us the figure with the VIN; those two numbers start every conversation about a truck.
Selling from a Wilmore yard with several power units
The biggest Wilmore fleet on FMCSA’s census runs 18 power units with 19 drivers, the next 6 units with 3 drivers, and a third 3 units with a single driver. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a yard of that size, list each VIN and where it is parked so we can plan the collection as one visit.
Wilmore picked up a pair of newly registered carriers in 2024 and a single one in 2025, by FMCSA’s census. A newer operation may still have its registration and insurance papers close at hand, which makes a title transfer simple when you decide to sell.
Horses, cattle, corn and building work
Horse farms lead Jessamine County’s 619 operations in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, ahead of cattle and then corn. Stock trucks, grain trucks and farm tractors with a trailer hitch from those operations are welcome; photograph the bed or body as well as the cab.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 15 construction establishments in the area, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 1,541 jobs in 2023. Contractors with a flatbed or dump truck sitting at a job yard can sell it from right there; send us the yard’s address and the title holder’s name.
