The O’Fallon carriers behind these trucks
Of the 194 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in O’Fallon, 112 name general freight among their loads. A dry van tractor or straight truck from one of those outfits is the most common thing we see from this corner of Missouri, so start with the VIN, the cab style and a photo of the door decal or registration sticker.
Machinery and large objects show up on 24 O’Fallon carrier filings in the FMCSA census, paper products on 20 and dry bulk commodities on 18. If your unit pulled a lowboy, a paper van or a pneumatic tanker, say which trailer it was paired with and whether that trailer is part of the sale.
New registrations keep arriving: the federal carrier census records 19 new O’Fallon carriers in 2025 after 12 in 2024. If you started a one-truck operating authority recently and are winding it down, bring the USDOT number along with the title so we can match the truck to the authority it ran under.
Missouri-only runs, cross-state runs and company fleets
Of the 194 carriers on file, FMCSA lists 92 as interstate and 102 as intrastate, with 74 operating as private fleets that haul their own goods. A truck that never left Missouri may carry only state plates and a Missouri-issued registration; have whichever card is in the cab ready to photograph.
Drivers working out of O’Fallon split between short and long runs, according to FMCSA’s carrier census: 792 stay within 100 miles and 415 go beyond that radius. If your driver is out on a longer run when you contact us, give us the date the truck is due back to the yard and we will set the collection around it.
Forty-one O’Fallon carriers reported yearly mileage to FMCSA, and their median comes to 20,000 miles for each truck. Read the odometer off the dash yourself and send a photo of it, since that single number tells us which truck we are talking about.
Model years and fleet sizes around O’Fallon
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA cover 191 trucks tied to O’Fallon carriers between September 2024 and August 2026; their median model year is 2020, and 19.9 percent are ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, the model year printed on the title is the one we go by, so check that it matches the VIN plate on the door jamb.
The three biggest fleets based here, per the FMCSA census, run 131 power units with 238 drivers, 53 power units with 53 drivers, and 29 power units with 28 drivers. Selling several trucks out of a fleet that size works best as one list: VIN, unit number and yard location for each, sent together.
Most O’Fallon outfits are far smaller than that, and a single owner-operator sale needs only the title in your name, your ID and the keys. If a lender still holds the title, tell us who it is at the start so the payoff paperwork is in hand before collection.
Stone, sand and fuel within a dozen miles
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Defiance Quarry 9.2 miles south-west of O’Fallon and New Melle Mine, another crushed-stone site, at 11.5 miles in the same direction. A tri-axle dump or end-dump that ran aggregate out of either one can be collected at the pit lot if the operator allows it; give us a contact who can open the gate.
To the north, BMC Sand at Old Monroe sits 10.2 miles out, while Kimaterials Incorporated and Old Monroe Materials, LLC run sand and gravel operations at 11.5 and 12.2 miles, all three on the MSHA register. Trucks parked up along that stretch toward Old Monroe do not have to come back into town; send us the address and how the truck can be reached.
East of town, the Energy Information Administration places the Saint Charles petroleum product terminal 7.2 miles away. A fuel tanker or tank-wagon that loaded there should come with its tank inspection paperwork and placard history if you kept them, alongside photos of the tank, the cab and the plate.
The Wentzville rail yard and the St. Louis port
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Wentzville General Motors rail yard 6.1 miles west of O’Fallon. Tractors that shuttled parts or finished loads around that yard are among the units we collect, so tell us which trailers it pulled and where it is parked now.
Eighteen miles south-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the St. Louis County port on the river. If your truck is sitting at a dock or terminal lot over there rather than in O’Fallon, we come to that address; just say whose property it is on so access can be arranged.
Work that keeps trucks moving here
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 40,909 jobs in O’Fallon, with manufacturing at 4,619, construction at 2,048, transportation and warehousing at 1,881 and wholesale trade at 1,393. A box truck from a wholesaler or a flatbed from a plant floor is as welcome as a road tractor; tell us the body type and the length.
For the local area, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally 219 builders and contractors against just 6 warehousing businesses. Contractors selling a dump, a stake bed or a crew truck should list any mounted equipment, such as a crane, lift gate or plow frame, so the photos and description line up.
Across the wider county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 589 farms, with soybeans, corn and hogs leading. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked at a farm is fine where it is; give us the road address and say whether the field lane is passable for a tow.
Hwy K title office and the bridges out of the yard
The Missouri Department of Revenue runs a license office at 2421 Hwy K in O’Fallon, 1.2 miles from the city centre. If your title is lost or carries an old lien, that office handles a duplicate or a lien release, and having it done before collection keeps the sale simple.
Thirty-seven bridges sit inside O’Fallon on the National Bridge Inventory; one carries a posted load limit and none clears less than 14 feet. Tell us the route out of the yard where your truck is parked, and if it crosses that posted bridge we will plan the pickup on a different road.
The questions we get asked in O'Fallon
- My dump truck sits on a quarry lot near Defiance, so does it have to come into O’Fallon first?Leave it on that lot: the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Defiance Quarry 9.2 miles south-west of O’Fallon, and we collect from the quarry itself once the operator agrees to let us in.
- Which office on the O’Fallon side handles a duplicate for a missing title?The Missouri Department of Revenue license office at 2421 Hwy K, 1.2 miles from the city centre, issues duplicate titles; take photo identification and the truck’s VIN with you.
- My truck stayed on Missouri roads its whole life, so is a state-only registration a problem?Not at all, since FMCSA lists 102 of O’Fallon’s 194 active carriers as intrastate and trucks on Missouri-only registration are routine for us. Send the registration card with the title.
- Can you collect a grain truck from a farm outside town?We can: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 589 farms across the county around O’Fallon, and we pick up at the farm address, so tell us if the lane needs a dry day.
