Quarries and terminals around Holly Springs
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Holly Springs Quarry 4.1 miles south-west of town and Fuquay Quarry 5.7 miles south, both producing crushed stone. If your dump truck or tri-axle has been loading at either pit, tell us which one and whether the truck is kept at the quarry or at home, and we will plan the collection around that spot.
Apex Propane Storage Terminal lies 3.6 miles north and Raleigh Blending Terminal 4.8 miles north, both recorded as petroleum product terminals by the Energy Information Administration. A tractor or straight truck that has run fuel or propane out of those gates may be parked on a terminal lot when you sell it; give us the name of whoever controls that lot so the pickup can be cleared with them.
West of town, Merry Oaks Mine is an industrial-mineral operation 9 miles out, on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of active sites. If your truck hauls from that site, send the address where it sits along with photos of the cab, frame and tires.
Two rail yards within six miles of town
Varina Yard, 5.2 miles south-east, and Booth Transflo, 6 miles north, are both rail yards in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle loads to and from either yard are part of what we purchase here.
If your tractor moved product between those yards and local customers, have the VIN, the title and the current North Carolina registration ready before you contact us. Those three let us confirm ownership at the start instead of chasing paperwork later.
Log, freight and car-hauling carriers in town
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 91 active motor carriers with a Holly Springs address: 35 run interstate, 56 stay inside North Carolina, and 24 are private fleets moving their own goods. Whether your authority crossed state lines or not, the sale works the same way; tell us which kind of operation the truck served.
By cargo, the same FMCSA census shows 70 of those carriers hauling general freight, 13 hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber, 11 moving machinery and large objects, and 11 carrying motor vehicles. Log trucks, lowboys and car haulers all come off those lists, and each sells with its title and any trailer paperwork you hold.
New entrants keep arriving, with 12 carriers registering in 2025 and 7 in 2024 according to FMCSA. If you started an authority recently and are now closing it out, bring your USDOT number to the first conversation so we can match the truck to the operation.
How big Holly Springs fleets run, and how far
Among carriers here, the three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s census run 30, 15 and 13 power units, with 35, 28 and 13 drivers respectively. Most operators are far smaller, so a single truck or a pair from one owner is a normal sale for us in Holly Springs.
For the 24 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median is 31,250 miles per truck a year. Drivers split close to evenly between local and long work, with 194 operating within 100 miles and 168 beyond it in the FMCSA census. Note the odometer reading when you send photos.
FMCSA roadside inspection records from 2024-08-30 to 2026-08-27 cover 73 trucks from local carriers, with a median model year of 2020 and 26 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the year on yours, have the service records and the last inspection report in one folder for the pickup.
Wholesalers, contractors and tobacco farms
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 12,519 jobs in Holly Springs, with wholesale trade holding 1,615 of them, construction 387, manufacturing 203, and transportation and warehousing 67. Box trucks and straight trucks that deliver for local wholesalers are welcome, along with the tractors.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally lists 111 construction establishments in Holly Springs. A contractor selling a dump truck, flatbed or service body truck should send the title and a list of any mounted equipment so we know exactly what is coming with it.
Wake County has 664 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by tobacco, soybeans and milk. A farm truck parked in a barn lot outside town can be collected where it stands; just tell us how the gate opens and who will be on site.
Posted spans on the way to your truck
Of 23 bridges around Holly Springs in the National Bridge Inventory kept by the Federal Highway Administration, 2 carry posted load limits and none has clearance under 14 feet. Let us know if the truck is behind one of those posted spans so the collection route avoids it.
NG Raleigh, a military installation 13 miles north-east on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, marks the edge of the area listed here. Anywhere inside it, we come to the truck; send the street address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
