Sixty-nine carriers on the books in Ferguson
Of the 69 trucking outfits FMCSA’s carrier census places in Ferguson, 51 list general freight among the loads they haul. If your tractor or box truck spent its days on mixed freight around north county, have the title and the current Missouri registration together before you call, and we can talk about the truck from the first minute.
Fourteen Ferguson carriers haul motor vehicles and nine run driveaway or towaway work, according to the same federal census, while eleven move household goods. Car haulers, rollbacks and moving vans all fit what we collect. Send a photo of the deck or the box along with the cab so the body type is clear.
Interstate authority covers 43 of the Ferguson carriers and intrastate work covers 26, while 10 are private fleets hauling their own goods, all per FMCSA’s carrier census. A private-fleet truck that hauled only for its owner’s business sells the same way; bring the title in the company’s name and a signature from someone who can sign for it.
Two rail yards, a ramp and the riverfront
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, puts the Berkeley rail yard 2.8 miles west of Ferguson and the Baden yard 4.8 miles south-east. A day cab that shuttles between those yards is likely parked close to one of them, so give us that address rather than your home address.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places two sites south-east of town: an intermodal ramp 6.1 miles out and a city port 8.1 miles out, both in St. Louis. If your truck pulls containers off the ramp or works the port, tell us whether the lot needs a gate code or an escort, and we plan the collection around that.
Two petroleum product terminals listed by the Energy Information Administration, ST LOUIS NORTH at 7.1 miles and ST LOUIS at 9.6 miles, both sit south-east of Ferguson. Tank tractors that load there are part of what we buy; keep any terminal or hazmat paperwork with the truck so its working history travels with it.
Quarry trucks and county farms
Fort Bellefontaine, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 6 miles north-east, and Champ Quarry, 9.3 miles west, both sit within reach of Ferguson. Dump trucks that run stone out of either pit can stay where they are parked; tell us which quarry and whether the truck is inside the gate.
Soybeans lead corn and wheat across the 222 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records for the county around Ferguson. A grain truck kept on a county farm is collected from the farm itself, so give us the road name and where on the property the truck sits.
Eleven construction firms have a Ferguson address in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your dump, flatbed or utility truck belongs to one of those businesses, have the title and the registration that match its name ready when you reach us.
Model years from the roadside log
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records caught 35 Ferguson-based trucks, whose median model year was 2017, with 42.86 percent at ten years or older. Whatever year your truck is, send the VIN first so we can read its build details.
Thirteen local carriers reported mileage to the federal carrier census, and their median came to 15,906 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading when you photograph the dash, and we will have the figure we ask about first.
The same census lists 42 drivers working within 100 miles of their Ferguson base and 163 who go beyond that. A truck on a long run can be sold once it is back; tell us when it returns and where it will park.
Replacing a Missouri title on West Florissant
At 2.2 miles from Ferguson, the Missouri Department of Revenue’s North County license office stands at 11700 W Florissant in St. Louis. A lost title is replaced through that state agency, so start the duplicate there before the sale.
Bring the registration, any inspection or service records you have, and clear photos of each side of the truck. With 14 new carriers registered in Ferguson in 2025 and 5 in 2024, per FMCSA’s carrier census, some sellers here are newer operators; if the truck is still titled to a previous owner, tell us at the start.
Route and worksite
Bridges and jobs along the way
In the National Bridge Inventory, Ferguson has 14 bridges, 7 of them load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. Tell us where the truck is parked so the collection route uses roads that suit its weight.
Ferguson held 5,413 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, including 303 in wholesale trade, 89 in construction and 77 in manufacturing. Trucks that serve those workplaces are often parked at a loading dock; give us the dock address and a contact on site.
