Drayage between the north county yards and the Lindenwood ramp
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Baden yard 2.5 miles east of Jennings and the Luther yard 2.9 miles south-east. If your drayage tractor shuttles between those yards and north county lots, give us the cross streets or the lot name where it is parked and we will collect it there.
Container work here also reaches two intermodal ramps: the main St. Louis ramp, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 3.6 miles south-east, and the Lindenwood ramp, 8.7 miles to the south in the same Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing. If your day cab spent its shifts pulling boxes off either ramp, send the VIN, the current odometer reading and a clear shot of the fifth wheel, and mention which ramp it worked.
Petroleum terminals and the city port
Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration listings near Jennings: St Louis North, 4.6 miles south-east, and St Louis, 7.2 miles out in that same direction. Tank tractors and fuel straight trucks that load at terminals like these should come with whatever loading-rack or hazmat paperwork you still hold, since those sheets tell us where the truck has been.
St. Louis City Port is 5.7 miles south-east of town according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck that ran between the river docks and north county warehouses can stay parked at the yard it uses now; tell us whose gate it is behind and who can let our driver in.
The quarry north of town and county farms
Seven miles is roughly the drive up to Fort Bellefontaine (CS31), a crushed-stone quarry that the Mine Safety and Health Administration records 6.9 miles north of Jennings. Dump trucks and tri-axles that hauled aggregate from there are trucks we buy; photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and keep the title in the name that appears on the registration.
St. Louis County counted 222 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with soybeans, corn and wheat leading the list. A grain truck or farm straight truck from one of those operations can be collected from the field lane or the barn, so long as you tell us how a rollback reaches it.
Freight, car haulers and buses from Jennings
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 122 active carriers based in Jennings, with 84 of them listing general freight, 26 motor vehicles, 19 driveaway or towaway work and 10 passengers. Car haulers and passenger vans sit alongside box trucks and tractors here, so tell us the body type up front and we will ask the right questions about it.
Under the same federal census, 56 Jennings carriers run interstate, 66 stay intrastate and 30 operate as private fleets. Fleets here are small: the three biggest, by FMCSA’s count of power units, have 7, 3 and 3 units, which means the person selling is usually the person who signs the title.
New authority keeps arriving, too; FMCSA records 14 new carriers registered in Jennings in 2024 and 17 in 2025. If you started up recently and are now selling a unit, have the registration and your USDOT number handy when you reach us.
Driver radius, annual miles and the 2015 median
Of the drivers employed by carriers here, 387 work within 100 miles and 227 go beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier census. A local hauler is likely to be parked at home in north county, while a long-run tractor may be sitting out of state; either way, tell us the address where it is today.
Eighteen Jennings carriers gave FMCSA annual mileage, and their median truck logged 19,202 miles in a year on that census. Roadside inspection records from FMCSA list 51 trucks inspected between October 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2015 and 57 percent ten or more model years old. Send the model year and the VIN with your first message and we can match the truck to its record.
Title office and local jobs
A lost Missouri title is replaced through the Missouri Department of Revenue, whose North County license office at 11700 W Florissant sits about 4 miles from Jennings, according to the Missouri Department of Revenue. Request the duplicate before we schedule collection, and bring a lien release if a lender is still shown on the old title.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,724 jobs in Jennings in 2023, of which 657, or 24.1 percent, were in manufacturing and 146 were in wholesale trade. Box trucks and tractors that served plant docks or wholesale warehouses are welcome; service records from those routes help us confirm what the truck did.
Contractors are part of the mix as well: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tallies 13 construction establishments operating inside Jennings city limits. A contractor’s flatbed, stake-bed or dump truck from one of those firms can be picked up at the job yard; have the keys, the title and the registration together in one place.
