Stone, sand and mineral plants around Ellisville
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Antire Quarry (CS-72), a crushed-stone operation 5.9 miles south of Ellisville, and Champ Quarry, another stone pit 12.3 miles to the north-east. Dump trucks, tri-axles and end-dump tractors that haul aggregate from either pit are the kind we pick up. If yours runs that loop, tell us which quarry it loads at and we will plan to collect it from the yard where it is kept between jobs.
Two more MSHA-listed sites ring the town: the Quikrete Companys Inc. mineral processing plant 6.5 miles east, and Pacific Plant, an industrial-mineral mine 10.4 miles to the south-west. Bagged-product box trucks and bulk haulers working those plants can be sold where they stand. Have the title and the registration together, and photograph the bed or box along with the cab.
DAIMLER, LACKLAND and the river terminals east of Manchester Road
According to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the DAIMLER rail yard lies 7.1 miles east of Ellisville and the LACKLAND yard 12.4 miles north-east. Tractors that shuttle trailers between those yards and west-county warehouses stay close to home, so the collection address is usually a lot in this part of the county. Send us that address and the VIN when you first get in touch.
Further east, Burlington Junction is a liquid bulk terminal 8.1 miles away and the county’s own port is 8.6 miles out, both on Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists. A tanker tractor or a flatbed that has been working the riverfront is still one we collect from wherever it is kept. Gather any terminal access records or service logs you hold so they travel with the truck.
Fifteen carriers registered on Ellisville addresses
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 15 active motor carriers based in Ellisville; 7 of them run interstate, 8 stay intrastate, and 6 operate private fleets hauling their own goods. Whether your authority crosses the state line or not, the paperwork we ask for is the same: a clear title, current registration and photos of the truck from all four sides.
General freight is the cargo listed by 9 of those carriers in the FMCSA census, while beverages, household goods and paper products are each listed by 4. A moving van, a beverage route truck or a dry van tractor all qualify. Tell us the body type and what it carried, and our questions will fit the truck.
The three biggest Ellisville fleets on FMCSA’s census have 12, 6 and 5 power units, each matched by the same number of drivers. Small operators selling one tractor, and owners clearing several units at once, are both welcome; list every VIN in your first message so we can arrange collection in a single trip.
Short-haul routes and local jobs
Of the drivers tied to Ellisville carriers, 124 work within 100 miles and 22 go beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Most trucks here end each shift back in the metro, so pickup tends to happen at a home driveway, a shop or a contractor’s lot. Let us know if the truck is behind a gate or needs a key from someone else.
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 6,268 jobs in Ellisville, with 549 in construction, 240 in manufacturing, 193 in transportation and warehousing and 156 in wholesale trade. Contractors with dump bodies, stake beds or roll-off trucks fit our purchase list alongside the freight haulers. Keep the inspection reports and service invoices you have; they show the truck’s history better than a description.
Soybean, corn and wheat haulers in the west county
Across the county around Ellisville, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 222 farms whose top crops are soybeans, then corn, then wheat. Grain trucks and hopper trailers from those farms can be collected straight from the barnyard.
If a farm truck has been registered under a farm plate, bring that registration card along with the title. Photos of the hoist, the tarp system and the cab interior help us understand the truck before we arrange the trip out.
A duplicate title from the Ballwin license office
The WEST COUNTY license office of the Missouri Department of Revenue, at 15533 Manchester Rd in Ballwin, is just 1.1 miles from Ellisville. A duplicate title for a truck can be applied for there if the original has gone missing. Start that before you contact us, and tell us the application is underway.
When a lender still holds a lien, ask the bank for a lien release letter and keep it with the title. Missouri Department of Revenue staff at the Ballwin office can tell you whether the lien shows as released on the state’s record.
