Hoppers and bulk rigs off Nodaway County farms
Of the 60 active Maryville carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 26 list grain, feed or hay as a cargo they haul and 18 list dry bulk commodities. If your tractor has pulled a hopper between Nodaway County fields and an elevator, tell us the trailer type and whether it goes with the sale, so we can plan the pickup for one unit or two.
Farm supplies show up on 14 local carrier registrations in FMCSA’s census. A straight truck that has hauled seed, fertilizer or feed sacks to farms around Maryville is the kind of truck we collect; send the VIN, a photo of the door sticker and a shot of the bed or body so we know its configuration before we call.
Corn, soybeans and cattle are the leading products on Nodaway County’s 1,034 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. If your truck is parked at a farm lot or a machine shed rather than in town, give us the road and the gate details; we come out to it.
Freight and plants
General freight and the manufacturing payroll
Thirty Maryville carriers on FMCSA’s census haul general freight, the single most common cargo listed in town. A day cab or sleeper on that kind of work usually has a logbook trail and maintenance invoices; put them in one folder with the title before we arrive.
Manufacturing held 1,780 of the 6,581 Maryville jobs that the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded for 2023, better than one job in four. If your truck has run inbound parts or outbound loads for a plant in town, tell us where it is stored now, whether that is a company yard or your own driveway, and who can let us in.
Wholesale trade accounts for 78 jobs and construction for 149 in the same 2023 LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. Dump trucks and flatbeds from that side of the local economy are on our list too; a clear photo of each side and the VIN plate is enough to start.
Hauling for hire, hauling for the farm
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 41 Maryville carriers authorized for interstate work and 19 that stay inside Missouri, with 35 operating as private fleets that move their own goods. Whichever kind you run, the registration card and the title in the business name are what we need to see on the day.
The three biggest fleets based here run 19, 12 and 7 power units, according to FMCSA’s census, and most operations are smaller than that. Selling one tractor out of a small fleet is straightforward: list the unit number and VIN, and tell us which driver or office manager holds its paperwork.
New registrations listed in the federal carrier census climbed from 2 in 2024 to 7 in 2025. If you started hauling recently and are now selling a truck, a copy of the bill of sale from when you bought it helps us match the title history.
Roadside checks on Maryville rigs since 2024
Twenty-six Maryville carriers file mileage with FMCSA, and the midpoint of their trucks sits at 24,550 miles a year. Note the current odometer reading and take a photo of the dash with the key on, so the number we discuss is the number on the truck.
Twenty-nine Maryville-based trucks were stopped for a roadside check between September 2024 and July 2026; in those FMCSA roadside inspection records their median model year is 2016, and 41.4 percent were built ten or more years before. Whatever the year of yours, the model year printed on the title is the one we go by, so check it matches the registration.
Titles and the license office on Fourth Street
The Missouri Department of Revenue lists a license office at 115 E 4th St in Maryville, half a mile from the center of town. If a title has gone missing, that office is where a Missouri duplicate starts, and it is close enough to visit before you contact us.
A title held by a lender needs a lien release before the sale; the Missouri Department of Revenue office on East Fourth Street can tell you which form applies. Bring the release, the title and your photo ID together, and the truck can change hands at the place it is parked.
Dump bodies and flatbeds for local builders
Builders and contractors run 36 construction establishments in Maryville, on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Dump trucks, flatbeds and mixer units from those contractors are trucks we collect; tell us the body type and whether any attached equipment stays with the chassis.
If the truck sits on a job site rather than a yard, give us the site address and the name of whoever controls access. The 149 construction jobs counted by the Census Bureau’s LEHD program for 2023 are spread across many small crews, so a site contact saves a wasted trip.
