Produce, hay and grain carriers in Quincy
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 264 active carriers based in Quincy, and 139 of them say they haul fresh produce. If your reefer tractor or trailer spent harvest seasons moving produce out of Grant County, tell us which season it last worked and send the registration with your first message, so we can match the unit to its paperwork from the start.
Grain, feed and hay are listed by 117 of those Quincy carriers on the federal carrier census, with farm supplies named by 94. Hay trucks, grain hoppers and flatbeds that sit between seasons can be collected from the farm where they are parked; give us the field or shop address and a gate contact, and the pickup is planned around it.
General freight appears on 114 Quincy registrations in the same FMCSA census. Many local carriers name several cargo types at once, so if your truck has pulled both produce and dry freight, list both when you describe it.
Intrastate fleets and private trucks around town
Of Quincy’s carriers on the FMCSA census, 223 operate intrastate only and 41 cross state lines, while 159 run private fleets that haul their own goods. A farm or packing operation selling its own truck can do so directly with us; have the title in the business name and someone able to sign for the business.
Driver records filed with FMCSA show 582 drivers for Quincy carriers working within 100 miles and 233 going beyond that. A truck that stays inside that local radius is most likely parked at a yard, ranch or packing shed near town, and that is where we come to load it.
A typical Quincy truck covers about 15,000 miles a year, the median across 65 local carriers that filed annual mileage with FMCSA. Have the odometer reading and the VIN ready together when you contact us, since those two answer most of our first questions.
Owner-operators and multi-truck Quincy outfits alike
The biggest Quincy fleet on the federal carrier census runs 54 power units with 60 drivers; the next two list 27 and 23 power units. If you are retiring several trucks at once, send a list with each VIN, its model year and where it is parked, and we will work through them as one sale.
FMCSA also records four new carriers registering in Quincy in 2024 and four more in 2025. A newer operator selling a first or second truck needs the same things as a large fleet: the title, current registration, and photos of the cab, frame and tires.
Inspected trucks from Quincy’s farm and freight carriers
Between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspectors checked 215 trucks belonging to Quincy carriers, and the middle model year among them was 2014. Whatever year yours is, include it with the make and model in your first message.
In those same FMCSA inspection records, 60.9 percent of the Quincy trucks were ten or more model years old. Older units are part of what we buy here; keep any service records or inspection reports you have in the cab folder, and send them along with your photos.
The Quincy rail yard and nearby mineral sites
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Quincy rail yard 0.9 miles west of town and Apple Yard 23.2 miles west. If your truck has shuttled loads to either yard and is parked near the tracks, tell us whose lot it sits on so access can be arranged.
Less than a mile north-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Quincy WA Plant, an industrial-mineral operation, with the Quincy WA Mine 10.8 miles south. A truck kept at a mine site can stay there for collection; name the site and a contact who can escort us in.
West of town, that same mine safety agency records two sand and gravel operations: ARP Portable Crusher #2 at 10.3 miles and ARP Palisades at 11.6 miles. Dump trucks and end dumps from aggregate work are welcome; photos of the bed and the hoist alongside the cab help us see the whole truck.
Farms, packing and building in Grant County
Grant County’s 1,238 farms, as USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records them, are led by cattle, then milk, then corn. Livestock haulers, milk tankers and silage trucks from those operations can be sold from the farm itself; have the title on hand and tell us the road the truck is on.
Census Bureau LEHD job counts for 2023 put 4,487 jobs in Quincy: 829 in agriculture, 711 in manufacturing, 545 in wholesale trade and 155 in transportation and warehousing. If your truck is registered to a packer, processor or wholesaler, the company’s officer signs the title, so line that person up before collection.
Construction accounts for 158 Quincy jobs in the same LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns lists 38 construction establishments and 3 warehousing establishments. Contractors selling a dump truck or flatbed should send the registration and a photo of the VIN plate first.
