General freight, grain hoppers and lowboys out of Montgomery
Forty of the 123 active Montgomery-based carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census name general freight as a load they take. If your tractor or straight truck has been on those mixed loads, gather the title and the current registration before you contact us, and the rest of the sale can be arranged around them.
Grain, feed and hay come next on that same federal census, with 32 Montgomery carriers declaring it, followed by 25 that move farm supplies. A grain hopper rig or a feed truck that spends harvest in a farmyard can be collected right there; tell us the road and which gate to use.
Twenty-two local outfits list machinery and large objects as cargo, according to FMCSA. For a lowboy or a heavy-haul tractor, send photos of the deck, the hitch and the cab so the description you give matches the truck we arrive to collect.
Minnesota-only routes for most Montgomery trucks
Of the Montgomery carriers registered with FMCSA, 106 operate intrastate and only 16 cross state lines. A truck that has stayed inside Minnesota is usually parked within reach, and the Minnesota title in your name is the paper that matters most when we pick it up.
Of the drivers tied to Montgomery carriers, FMCSA counts 203 staying inside a 100-mile radius and 90 who range beyond it. If yours is one of the longer-range units and is out on a run, give us the date it returns and the yard where it will sit.
The 26 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA put the median at 18,500 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer and note the VIN before you call; those two numbers answer most of what we will ask first.
Corn, soybeans, hogs and the trucks on those farms
Corn, soybeans and hogs head the list for Le Sueur County’s 896 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm-plated straight trucks around Montgomery often sit in a machine shed between seasons, and that shed is where we can load it.
Seventy-five of the town’s registered carriers are private fleets, per FMCSA, hauling their own goods rather than for hire. If your truck belongs to a farm or business operation, make sure the name on the title matches the person or entity selling it, and bring whatever service records the operation kept.
Gravel, stone and the roads to them
Henderson Pit 096, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 19.5 miles west of Montgomery, is the nearest mine site. Dump trucks and end-dumps that have run aggregate from there can be picked up at the pit lot or at your yard; name the spot and a contact who can let us in.
Farther north-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Prior Lake Aggregates Inc at 21.2 miles and the Portable Plant 2 crushed-stone quarry at 21.3 miles to the north. For a truck that worked those sites, photos of the box, the hoist and the tires belong alongside the cab shots.
Census Bureau County Business Patterns records 28 construction establishments in the area. A contractor’s tandem, a water truck or a flatbed that served those jobs only needs its title, registration and a set of clear photos to get started.
Northfield’s rail yard and a liquid bulk terminal
Nineteen point nine miles east, the Northfield rail yard appears on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. A truck that shuttles loads to and from that yard does not have to come back to Montgomery to sell; we come to where it is parked.
Carload Connection, a liquid bulk terminal 21.4 miles north-east, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. Tank tractors that pull from it should come with whatever inspection reports you hold, plus a note of which trailers they ran with.
Manufacturing jobs and Montgomery’s own fleets
In Montgomery, the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts place 343 jobs in manufacturing, which is 29.8 percent of the town’s 1,150. Box trucks and tractors that run between plants in town tend to sit at a shipping dock, so tell us which dock and the hours it is open.
Transportation and warehousing accounts for 89 local jobs, 7.7 percent of the total, in the same LEHD figures. The three biggest Montgomery fleets on FMCSA’s census run 57, 18 and 6 power units, so whether you are selling one truck or several from a yard, list each VIN and we will handle them together.
FMCSA records show 5 new carriers registered here in 2024 and 3 more in 2025. If you started hauling recently and the truck is still titled to a lender, have the payoff letter and the lien holder’s contact details ready.
The questions we get asked in Montgomery
- The grain truck sits in a shed on a Le Sueur County farm, so must I haul it to town before you buy it?Le Sueur County holds 896 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and trucks on them stay where they are; we collect from the farmyard. Give us the address and which building or field the truck sits in.
