Two product terminals either side of Lemay
The Energy Information Administration places the LEMAY petroleum product terminal 2.2 miles south of town and the ST LOUIS MO terminal 2.1 miles to the north-east. A fuel hauler or tank-trailer tractor based between them is usually parked close to one of those gates, so give us the street address of the lot and the name of whoever holds the keys there.
Kinder Morgan’s liquid bulk terminal, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists 6.7 miles north-east of Lemay, is a third riverside stop for tank work. If your tractor ran loads among these sites, a list of the terminals it served and any hazmat or tank inspection paperwork you kept will answer most of what we would otherwise ask.
Rail sidings east and north of the bluffs
Just one mile east of Lemay, the North American Rail Network shows the IVORY rail yard, and the same federal rail map puts the LINDENWOOD yard 5.5 miles to the north. Day cabs that shuttle between rail sidings and nearby warehouses are often left in a yard lot between moves; tell us which one and whether a gate code is needed.
Container drayage runs through the St. Louis, MO - Lindenwood intermodal ramp, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 5 miles north-west of Lemay. For a drayage tractor, send the VIN, a clear photo of the odometer and pictures of the fifth wheel, and keep the registration with the title so both travel together on pickup day.
Jefferson Barracks quarry and the building trades
South of Lemay along the river, 4.2 miles out, sits the JEFFERSON BARRACKS (CS-71) crushed-stone pit on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine register. Dump trucks and tri-axles hauling stone out of a pit like that are welcome here; photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and note the axle setup when you write to us.
Construction accounts for 341 of the 4,161 jobs counted in Lemay in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, a share of 8.2 percent. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau adds 75 construction establishments, so a contractor’s single dump truck or flatbed parked at a job site or a home driveway is a normal collection for us.
Motor carriers registered along Lemay’s stretch of river
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 74 active carriers based in Lemay, with 52 of them authorised for interstate work, 22 running intrastate and 9 operating as private fleets. Whether you hold your own authority or run a company truck for your own goods, bring your USDOT number to the first conversation so we can match the truck to its registration.
General freight is the cargo listed by 55 of those carriers in the FMCSA census, ahead of paper products at 16, household goods at 14 and beverages at 13. A box truck from a moving outfit or a beverage route tractor is as much what we purchase as a long-haul sleeper; describe the body or trailer it pulls when you send photos.
The biggest Lemay fleet in the FMCSA carrier census registers 28 power units and 14 drivers, followed by fleets of 12 and 10 trucks. Owners selling several units at once can list every VIN in one message, and we will arrange the collection around where each truck sits.
Short-haul and regional driving from the river
Lemay carriers report 57 drivers working within 100 miles and 134 working beyond that range, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A truck that runs regional lanes may be away from home when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked at the end of its last trip rather than where it is today.
Across 26 local carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 55,783 miles per truck each year. That figure is about how these trucks are used, not a judgement on them; just give us the current odometer reading and the service records you have.
A Gravois Road office for title questions
Lemay sellers with title questions can head 2.4 miles to 9513 GRAVOIS RD, where the Missouri Department of Revenue keeps its AFFTON license office. If the title for your truck is lost or still shows a lienholder, that office is where a duplicate title or a lien release gets sorted before the sale.
Of the 235 Lemay-based trucks that FMCSA roadside inspection records cover from August 2024 to August 2026, the median model year is 2017 and 42 percent date from ten or more years back. Whatever the model year, have the title, current registration and recent inspection reports in one folder so the handover at your lot takes only a signature.
The questions we get asked in Lemay
- My tank tractor sits by the LEMAY product terminal south of town; does it have to come to you?The Energy Information Administration puts that terminal 2.2 miles south of town, and we collect from lots like that one directly. Send the address and a contact who can let us onto the property.
- Where do I replace a lost Missouri truck title near Lemay?Duplicate Missouri titles for Lemay owners go through the AFFTON office on Gravois Road, which the Missouri Department of Revenue lists 2.4 miles from town. If your duplicate is still being processed there, mention it when you first write and we will plan around the paperwork.
- Will you take a tri-axle that hauls out of the Jefferson Barracks stone pit?Dump trucks from the JEFFERSON BARRACKS (CS-71) quarry, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 4.2 miles south, are part of what we purchase. Send Lemay-side photos of its bed, hoist and cab together with the title number to open the conversation.
- Our Lemay business keeps a handful of trucks for its own goods; could several go together?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 9 private fleets among Lemay’s 74 active carriers, and several trucks from one owner can go in a single message. List each VIN and where it is parked.
