Lindenwood ramp and the yards east of Maplewood
Just 0.9 miles south-east of Maplewood, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Lindenwood intermodal ramp. A day cab that shuttles boxes off that ramp may be parked at home, at a yard or at the ramp itself, and we collect from whichever it is. Give us the address where it is parked and a name we can call on the day.
Two rail yards appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: LINDENWOOD, 1.4 miles east, and CHOUTEAU, 4.3 miles east. If your tractor is parked inside a yard fence rather than at your house, tell us who controls the gate. We arrange the pickup with whoever can let us in, and you do not need to be standing there.
Fuel tankers between the two racks south-east and east of town
Listed by the Energy Information Administration, the ST LOUIS MO petroleum product terminal is 5.7 miles south-east of town and ST LOUIS SOUTH is 5.8 miles east. A tractor that has pulled fuel tankers between those racks and local stations is a truck we buy. Have its title, current registration and any terminal or safety inspection reports together before you contact us.
Say in your first message whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind. Photos of the cab, the frame, the fifth wheel and the tires, plus the VIN, let us ask the right questions about a fuel-hauling unit from the first reply instead of the third.
Seventeen carriers, from general freight to refrigerated food
Maplewood is home base for 17 active carriers, going by FMCSA’s carrier census. In that same FMCSA census, 8 list general freight, 4 household goods, 3 beverages and 3 refrigerated food, so a seller here could be holding anything from a moving van to a reefer straight truck. Tell us the body type and the trailer, if any, when you write.
Among those 17 carriers in the same federal census, 9 run interstate, 8 stay intrastate and 8 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. FMCSA shows the fleet with the most power units registering 9 of them and 9 drivers, and the next two each listing 4 power units with 11 drivers. Whether you are selling one truck or several from a small fleet, send the VINs together and we will handle them as one collection.
The FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 32 trucks from Maplewood carriers inspected between 2024-09-12 and 2026-08-13. Across those 32 inspected trucks, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the middle model year at 2021, while a quarter, 25 percent, carry a model year ten or more back. Whatever year yours is, the model year and engine details on the title or registration are what we ask for first.
Nine posted spans on the streets in and out of Maplewood
All 9 bridges the National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration records in the Maplewood area carry a posted load limit, and none of them has clearance under 14 feet. When you tell us where the truck is parked, mention the street it is reached from, so the route we plan to it respects those postings.
If the tractor is parked behind a building, in a narrow alley or with a trailer still attached, a short note and a photo of the approach save a second visit. We collect from the place the truck sits; you do not have to move it to a wider road first.
Manufacturing, construction and farm trucks nearby
According to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, Maplewood held 7,701 jobs, with 891 in manufacturing, 352 in construction, 226 in transportation and warehousing and 209 in wholesale trade. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors working those employers are all trucks we buy, whether they are registered to a company or to you.
St. Louis County counts 44 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 222 farms in the county, with soybeans, corn and wheat as the top crops. A dump truck from a job site or a grain truck from a county farm can be collected where it is kept. If it is registered to a business, have someone who can sign for that business ready when we arrive.
Title and registration at the Maplewood license office
The Missouri Department of Revenue runs a license office called MAPLEWOOD at 3238 Laclede Station Rd, 0.6 miles from town. If your title is lost or misplaced, that office is where a Missouri duplicate title gets handled, and it is close enough to visit before we collect.
Bring the truck’s title, current registration and any service records you keep to the sale. If the title is in a company name, the person signing needs to be authorized to sign for that company, and we will tell you exactly which lines need a signature.
