Movers, freight and passenger carriers in Town and Country
Of the 29 carriers FMCSA’s carrier census lists as active in Town and Country, 19 haul general freight and 10 carry household goods. If your truck is a moving van or box truck that has spent its life on residential streets in west County, tell us the body length and lift gate when you first get in touch, along with the VIN.
Four of those carriers move passengers and three carry chemicals, according to the same FMCSA census. A shuttle or a hazmat-rated tractor has its own permits and placards on file; keep the endorsement paperwork and the registration with the title so the hand-over covers everything the vehicle was licensed to do.
Seventeen of the town’s carriers run interstate and twelve stay inside Missouri, with twelve listed as private fleets, per FMCSA. If yours hauled only for your own business, have the registration ready and check that the company name on the title matches it; the owner named on paper signs the title.
Model years and miles on west County trucks
Across 304 trucks checked at the roadside between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2020, with 12.8 percent ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, the model year, engine and transmission are the first three things to send us, followed by clear photos of the cab and both sides.
Five Town and Country carriers report mileage to FMCSA, and their median comes to 13,333 miles per truck. Jot down the odometer reading on the day you contact us so it matches what we see at collection.
The town’s biggest registered operation lists 6,001 power units in FMCSA’s census, the next 258 and the third 36. Owner-operators and small outfits sit alongside them, and a single truck sells through us the same way a fleet unit does: one title, one set of keys, one address for pickup.
Quarries, rail yards and terminals around the town
Champ Quarry, a crushed-stone operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 7.6 miles north, and Antire Quarry (CS-72), 9.7 miles south-west, both lie within ten miles of Town and Country. If your dump truck is parked at a quarry lot, give us the gate contact and the hours the site is open so collection can be arranged with them.
The North American Rail Network shows the DAIMLER rail yard 5.7 miles south and the LACKLAND yard 5.9 miles north-east, while the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Lindenwood intermodal ramp 9 miles east in St. Louis. A day cab that has pulled containers between those points should come with its VIN, the fifth-wheel height and the odometer reading.
Burlington Junction, a liquid bulk terminal 6 miles south on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, and the Quikrete Companys Inc. plant 5.5 miles south, recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, both sit within a short drive. Tankers and flatbeds that served them can stay where they are; we come to the truck.
Title and records for a Town and Country sale
The Missouri Department of Revenue runs its Des Peres license office at 1080 Old Des Peres Rd, about 2.4 miles from Town and Country. That is where to apply for a duplicate if the title has gone missing, or to record a lien release.
Bring the title, the current registration and any service records to the sale. Send photos of the dash with the ignition on, the tires and the frame rails with your first message from west County.
Posted spans and pickup routes in Town and Country
The National Bridge Inventory counts 19 bridges in Town and Country, six of them load-posted and none under 14 feet. If your truck is parked on a street that crosses one of the posted spans, mention it so the tow is routed around the weight limit.
Per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the St. Louis County port listing sits 2 miles east of town. Tell us whether your truck is at a home address, a business lot or a yard near the river, and whether a tow rig can turn around where it stands.
Work, farms and builders in St. Louis County
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 23,562 jobs in Town and Country for 2023, including 714 in wholesale trade, 117 in construction, 77 in manufacturing and 69 in transportation and warehousing. Box trucks and straight trucks from wholesale or building suppliers are trucks we take, so list the body type and the gross vehicle weight rating when you write.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 34 construction establishments in the area, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 222 farms in St. Louis County, led by soybeans, corn and wheat. A grain truck or a contractor’s dump body is welcome; send the title holder’s name exactly as printed so the paperwork lines up.
