Stone hauled from the north-west edge of Sedalia
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists MM Quarry 4.7 miles north-west of Sedalia and SEDALIA QUARRY 5.2 miles out in the same direction, both crushed-stone operations. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor hauls aggregate from either pit, it can stay parked at the quarry yard or your shop; send us the address and the name of whoever can unlock the gate.
Pettis County had 65 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 349 Sedalia jobs in construction for 2023. For a truck that has moved stone to those job sites, photograph the bed, the hoist, the frame rails and the tires along with the cab, and keep the VIN plate legible in one shot.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 219 active carriers based in Sedalia: 133 run interstate, 86 stay inside Missouri, and 67 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever group you belong to, your USDOT number helps us confirm the truck’s registration history, so have it on hand when you write to us.
New registrations keep arriving, according to the same FMCSA census, with 11 carriers signing up in 2024 and 18 in 2025. FMCSA lists three Sedalia operations running 88, 84 and 71 power units, so if you manage a fleet and want to move several tractors together, give us the unit list with VINs and where each one is parked.
Of the 94 local carriers reporting annual mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 42,804 miles per truck. Read the odometer before you get in touch and put the figure in your first message alongside the year, make and model.
Freight, machinery, reefers and meat
General freight is claimed by 151 Sedalia carriers in FMCSA’s census, and 53 haul machinery and large objects. Lowboys, step-decks and the tractors pulling them fit what we purchase; tell us the axle setup and whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind.
Refrigerated food and meat each appear on 45 local carrier filings with FMCSA. A reefer unit keeps its own hour meter and service log, so photograph that display and gather the reefer’s maintenance papers with the truck’s title.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,066 farms in Pettis County, with hogs, soybeans and corn heading the list. Grain trucks, livestock tractors and farm-plated straight trucks parked out on a Pettis County farm are collected right there; give us the road name and tell us if the lane is gravel.
Have the model year, engine make and transmission type ready, since those three answers settle most of our first questions.
Older and newer tractors are both trucks we look at, so list the year plainly and attach any inspection reports you still have from those stops.
If the title is lost, that is the counter to apply for a duplicate before the sale, and the person named on the title is the one who should go.
Bring the title, current registration and any lien release to the collection. If a bank still holds a lien on the truck, tell us the lender’s name at the start so the payoff paperwork is lined up with the Missouri Department of Revenue transfer.
