Quarries and gravel pits around Oakville
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Jefferson Barracks (CS-71) crushed-stone quarry 2.3 miles north-east of Oakville and Barnhart Quarry 8.7 miles to the south-west. A tri-axle or tandem dump that has hauled aggregate from either one is a truck we will look at. Photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and note which quarry it loaded at so we know the work it has done.
West of town, the Hageman Plant sand and gravel operation is 4.7 miles out and Shead is 5.2 miles out, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck is parked at one of those pits rather than at home, give us the gate location and a name who can let us in, and we will arrange the collection there.
Terminals and the Ivory rail yard to the north-east
Two petroleum product terminals appear on Energy Information Administration listings near Oakville: Lemay at 4.3 miles north-east and a second terminal 7.8 miles out in the city of St. Louis. If you own a fuel tanker that loads at Lemay, gather the tank’s inspection and test paperwork with the title before we talk, and we will go through it with you.
Ivory, a rail yard 6.2 miles north-east, is on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. For a day cab that shuttles loads between that yard and the terminals, send us the VIN and the odometer reading first, then photos of the frame, fifth wheel and tires.
Of the 214 active Oakville-based carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, 150 cross state lines, 64 stay inside Missouri and 49 run private fleets hauling their own goods. If your authority is intrastate only, the truck may carry Missouri-only paperwork; have the registration and the cab card ready so we can match them to the title.
General freight is hauled by 158 of those carriers, paper products by 68, beverages by 59 and metal sheets, coils and rolls by 53, according to the same FMCSA carrier census. A flatbed set up for coil, a beverage route truck or a dry van tractor all fit what we buy; tell us the body type and the trailer setup when you get in touch.
The three fleets with the most power units here run 55, 36 and 22 trucks, by FMCSA census figures, and 15 new carriers registered in 2024 with another 15 in 2025. Whether you are a fleet manager retiring several units or a first-year owner-operator, the same papers apply: title, registration and any service records you keep.
Across 297 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026 on FMCSA roadside inspection records, the median model year is 2017 and 41 percent are ten or more years old. Whatever the model year, the VIN tells us the build details, so put it at the top of your message.
For 91 Oakville carriers reporting mileage, FMCSA’s census puts the median at 58,319 miles per truck a year. The same census lists 319 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 479 who go beyond. A truck may therefore be away on a route when you first contact us, so tell us where it will be parked on the day it is free.
Contractors, coil plants and St. Louis County farms
Construction accounts for 955 of the 6,041 jobs located in Oakville in 2023, or 15.8 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, alongside 358 in manufacturing, 312 in wholesale trade and 215 in transportation and warehousing. Oakville holds 120 construction businesses but just 3 warehousing sites, going by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Contractors selling a dump truck, a stake-bed or a mixer can send photos of the body and the chassis plate in one message.
Beyond the subdivisions, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 222 farms in the county, and soybeans lead corn and wheat among what those Oakville-area growers plant. A grain truck kept on a farm lot is collected where it stands; tell us whether the lane is passable for a tow truck and where the title is held.
Replacing a lost Missouri title near Oakville
About 3.5 miles from town, the Missouri Department of Revenue runs a license office named Oakville on Telegraph Road (number 3164) in St. Louis. If the title is missing, that office takes the duplicate application; bring your ID and the VIN to avoid a second trip.
If the truck is titled to a company rather than to you, the Telegraph Road office is also where Oakville owners can check the name on record before a sale. Have the officer who signs for the company named in your first message so the title assignment matches.
