Rail on the north side
Trucks that work the Springfield rail yards
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Springfield South yard 1.3 miles north-west of the city centre and North Springfield 2.5 miles due north. Day cabs that shuttle loads between those yards and Ozarks warehouses tend to be parked close in, so tell us the street or lot and we will come there to collect.
Have the Missouri title and current registration together before we talk, along with the VIN plate photographed clearly. A tractor that spends its shifts on short yard moves often sits behind a locked gate at night; give us a name and number for whoever holds the key so the collection is not held up at the fence.
Stone west of town
Aggregate and stone haulers on the west side
Radix Westside, a crushed-stone quarry, lies 5.4 miles west of town according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and the same agency lists Conco Willard Quarries 8.2 miles to the north-west. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors hauling aggregate from those pits can be picked up at the quarry yard itself if the operator allows it, so ask them first and pass us the contact.
Farther out, Phenix Marble is a dimension-stone quarry 18.1 miles west, as the Mine Safety and Health Administration records it. Block and slab work calls for flatbeds and heavy tractors, and those often stay at the site between jobs. Send photos of the cab, the bed and both sides, plus any service records you kept.
Tankers, reefers and general freight in Greene County
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named Springfield 7.7 miles west of the city. If your tractor or straight truck has loaded fuel there, keep the terminal paperwork and inspection records with the title; they tell us where the unit has worked without a long phone call.
Of the 746 active carriers based here in FMCSA’s carrier census, 442 list general freight, while refrigerated food, meat, and machinery or large objects each show 117. A reefer unit or a lowboy tractor is as welcome as a dry van tractor; tell us the cargo it last hauled and whether the trailer goes with it.
FMCSA’s carrier census also records 59 new carriers registering in 2025 against 35 in 2024. If you are one of the newer outfits and are trimming a unit, the Missouri title in your company’s name and a signer with authority for the business are what we need to close.
Model years on Greene County carriers’ tractors
FMCSA roadside inspection records for 2024-08-28 to 2026-08-27 cover 8,681 trucks tied to Springfield carriers, with a median model year of 2024 and 10.72% of them ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, give us the model year, make and VIN at the start and the rest of the questions follow from those.
Per FMCSA’s carrier census, 385 carriers here run interstate, 361 stay inside Missouri, and 309 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet selling a unit usually keeps it at its own dock; tell us the dock hours so we can plan the collection around your loading schedule.
Among 252 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median is 27,468 miles a truck each year. Have a current odometer photo ready with the dashboard lit, since it is one of the first things we ask for.
Low clearance
Bridges to know when we collect
The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration counts 142 bridges around Springfield, 26 of them load-posted and 1 with clearance under 14 feet. According to the National Bridge Inventory, that low one carries US 65 north over Catalpa Street at 13ft 10in, structure number 1344.
If your truck is parked anywhere a tall load would have to pass under the Catalpa Street overpass, mention it when you give us the address. Knowing the route in advance lets us send the right equipment and avoid the posted spans the National Bridge Inventory lists.
Jobs, builders and farms that keep trucks busy
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 161,950 jobs here, with 13,237 in manufacturing, 9,970 in transportation and warehousing, 8,603 in wholesale trade and 6,472 in construction. Box trucks and straight trucks from plants and distribution sites are part of what we buy, so note the body type and any liftgate when you contact us.
Around Springfield, 543 builders and 20 warehousing firms keep premises, per the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Contractors with a dump truck or flatbed parked at a jobsite can sell it from there; tell us whether the site is open on weekdays only.
Greene County held 1,668 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, milk and wheat at the top. Livestock haulers, milk tankers and grain trucks kept on a farm can be collected from the barnyard; give us directions past the last paved road.
The questions we get asked in Springfield
- My title is lost. Where do I get a replacement in Springfield?The Missouri Department of Revenue runs a title office at 149 Park Central Square, 1.1 miles from the city centre by that agency’s listing. Apply for a duplicate title there and let us know once it is in hand.
- The truck is at the Willard quarry. Does it have to come into town?It can stay put: the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Conco Willard Quarries 8.2 miles north-west of Springfield, and we collect from the quarry if the operator gives access. Send us the gate contact.
- Can I sell a truck parked near the AVCRAD base?You can, because the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the NG Springfield AVCRAD installation 6.8 miles north-west of town; if your truck is parked on private ground near it, give us the address and who can let us in.
