General loads lead the Clearwater register

Of the 134 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Clearwater, mixed general freight is what 61 put on their registration as their main load. If your tractor has spent its years on mixed loads out of this town, have the title, the current registration and a few clear photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel ready before you call.

Lumber is the second line of work in town: 30 Clearwater carriers declare logs, poles, beams or lumber in the federal carrier census, and 29 declare machinery or large objects. A log truck with a loader or a lowboy tractor set up for heavy equipment is one we collect, so tell us what is mounted on the frame and whether the trailer comes with it.

Another 21 operators here list motor vehicles as cargo on their FMCSA registration. For a car hauler, send the VIN of the tractor and a photo of the deck so we know what we are loading when we arrive.

Farm, shop and contractor trucks in town

Private fleets hauling their own goods number 92 of Clearwater’s 134 registered carriers on the federal carrier census. A dump truck owned by a contractor or a straight truck kept by a local shop counts just the same as a for-hire tractor, and we come to the yard where it is parked.

Intrastate operators make up 102 of the town’s carriers in the FMCSA records, against 32 that cross state lines. If your truck has only ever worked inside Minnesota, your Minnesota title and registration are all the paperwork the sale needs, plus any service records you have kept.

Clearwater saw seven fresh carrier registrations in 2025 and five the year before, by the FMCSA census count. If you started a small operation recently and are now selling the truck, bring the purchase paperwork along with the title so the chain of ownership is easy to follow.

Long haul and short

Drivers who run far from the Mississippi

Carriers in town report 1,470 drivers working beyond a hundred-mile radius and 207 inside it, in their filings with the federal carrier census. A sleeper that spends most weeks on the road can be collected wherever it is parked between runs, at home in Clearwater or at a terminal elsewhere, so give us the address where it will sit.

Thirty-two Clearwater carriers report yearly mileage to FMCSA, and their median truck logged 27,813 miles. Write down the odometer reading when you photograph the dash; with the VIN, that is the first thing we ask for.

The three biggest fleets registered here list 666, 476 and 298 power units in FMCSA’s census, with 653, 255 and 307 drivers. A fleet retiring several units at once can send us the VINs as a list, and we will arrange collection of each truck from the yard where it stands.

Pits along the river road

Stone to the north-west, sand to the east

Charcoal #3 Quarry, a dimension-stone operation 11.3 miles north-west of Clearwater, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records, as does ROCKVILLE #2 QUARRY, 14.7 miles to the west. A dump truck or flatbed tractor that has worked stone out of those pits can be picked up at the quarry gate if that is where it is kept; just tell us who to contact on site.

East of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Plaisted Sand, a sand and gravel operation 23.9 miles away. Aggregate trucks there are usually tandem or tri-axle dumps; send photos of the box, the hoist and the axles along with the cab, and mention any site inspection reports you hold.

Yard and armory

St Cloud’s rail yard and armory up the road

Up toward St Cloud, 12.3 miles north-west of Clearwater, sits the ST CLOUD rail yard on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that shuttles trailers to and from the yard can be collected in town or at the lot where it waits for loads.

Two National Guard sites sit up that same road on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list: NG St Cloud AASF, 8.9 miles north, and NG St Cloud NG Armory, 12.5 miles north-west. If your truck has hauled for either, a signed title in your name is what we need, and any delivery logs you kept help describe its work.

Factory jobs and corn fields

Manufacturing holds 223 of the 1,056 jobs in Clearwater, or 21.1 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, while transportation and warehousing account for 139, or 13.2 percent. A box truck or tractor that served a plant in town is collected from the plant lot or your driveway, whichever is easier for you.

Across Wright County, 1,310 farms were counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and corn, soybeans and milk lead their output. A grain truck or milk tanker parked on a farm outside Clearwater is reachable for pickup; tell us whether the yard is gravel or paved and if there is room to turn a trailer.

Annandale’s office for a duplicate Minnesota title

In Minnesota, titles come from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS), through its deputy registrar offices. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) lists the Annandale deputy registrar at 30 Cedar St E, Annandale, 55302, 10.8 miles from Clearwater, where a duplicate title can be requested if yours is missing.

Before you visit Annandale, check whether a lender is still listed on the truck; a lien release from the bank should go with the replacement title. Bring the VIN and your driver’s licence, and once DVS issues the duplicate, send us a photo of both sides.
