South of the river
Stone from Burnsville, gravel toward Prior Lake
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the KMM Burnsville Quarry 3.4 miles south-east of Bloomington and the Savage Plant crushed-stone quarry 3.7 miles south-west. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul stone out of those two sites can stay parked at the yard or your shop when you sell; give us the street address and a gate contact and we arrange the collection there.
Two sand and gravel operations show up further out in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, one 8.4 miles south-west and one 8.8 miles east. If your truck has worked aggregate loads between those pits and job sites, send photos of the box or bed, the frame and the cab, plus the VIN, so we know exactly which unit we are talking about.
The Savage terminal and the Barden yard
About 3.9 miles south-west, the Energy Information Administration records a petroleum product terminal at Savage. A tank truck or tractor that loads there can be sold from where it is staged; tell us which terminal it runs from and whether a site badge is needed to reach it.
Six miles west of town is the Barden rail yard, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. For a day cab that has shuttled freight to and from that yard, have the title and current Minnesota registration in hand before we schedule the pickup.
General freight, buses and movers on the Hennepin rolls
Of Bloomington’s 1,107 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, 520 list general freight, 187 carry passengers, 92 move machinery and large objects and 80 haul household goods. Box trucks, buses, lowboy tractors and moving vans therefore all fit what we buy here; tell us which kind you have and its body type in the first message.
Interstate authority is held by 308 of these carriers, while 799 run intrastate only and 549 operate as private fleets, per the same FMCSA census. If your truck belongs to a private fleet that hauls its own company’s goods, the person who signs the title is the one we need to hear from.
FMCSA registrations put 80 new carriers in the city in 2025, after 63 in 2024. Fleet sizes vary widely: the three biggest register 488, 209 and 144 power units in FMCSA’s records. Whether you are selling one tractor or several, a list of VINs lets us review them together.
Short hauls, long hauls and the 2019 median
Carriers here report 2,598 drivers working within 100 miles and 2,299 working beyond it, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A truck on long runs may be away from Bloomington when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked rather than where you live.
Among 202 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 33,542 miles per truck. Write down the current odometer reading and include it with your photos so the details match when we arrive.
FMCSA roadside inspection records from August 2024 to August 2026 cover 772 trucks tied to Bloomington, with a median model year of 2019 and 24.5 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, send the service records you have kept along with the photos.
Bridges, jobs and farms in Hennepin County
None of Bloomington’s 69 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory carries a load posting, and none has clearance under 14 feet. A loaded tractor or tall straight truck can usually be reached at its address without a detour around a low or posted span, so just give us the location.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 88,466 jobs in Bloomington, including 6,134 in wholesale trade, 6,013 in manufacturing, 2,470 in construction and 886 in transportation and warehousing. Sector by sector, County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 187 construction establishments and 11 warehousing ones. If your truck works for a contractor or a distributor, have whoever holds the title ready to sign.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 511 farms in Hennepin County, with soybeans, corn and mushrooms at the top. A farm truck or grain hauler parked on one of those farms can be collected from the field lane or the yard where it sits.
The questions we get asked in Bloomington
- Can a tri-axle sitting at the Savage Plant quarry be sold without driving it up to Bloomington first?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Savage Plant quarry 3.7 miles south-west of Bloomington, and we collect the tri-axle from the quarry yard itself; tell us who can let us through the gate.
- Where does a Bloomington owner get a duplicate title once the original has gone missing?Ask Minnesota’s state title agency for a duplicate before the sale, and let us know you have applied so we can plan around the replacement title.
- Could an overpass in Bloomington be too low for the trailer you send to fetch my tractor?The National Bridge Inventory lists 69 bridges in Bloomington with none under 14 feet and none load-posted, so tell us the address and we plan the route from there.
- Do you take buses as well as freight trucks?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 187 Bloomington carriers moving passengers, and a bus or shuttle from one of them is something we buy too; send the VIN, photos and registration.
