Bay Road pits
Dump trucks loading up Bay Road and at Tarburton
Bay Road Plant #7, which turns out sand and gravel, is 4.1 miles up the road to the north according to Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. A tri-axle or tandem dump that loads at a plant like that is a truck we buy. If it is still parked at the pit, tell us whose ground it sits on and who can open the gate on the day we collect.
Another sand and gravel site, Tarburton Pit, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 5.5 miles north of town. Owners who hauled aggregate out of Tarburton often keep the dump body and the chassis on one title; send us that title along with photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab so we know exactly what is coming.
Hauling south of town
Porter Sand & Gravel and the southern haul
Porter Sand & Gravel, Inc. is recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as an industrial-mineral mine 9.6 miles south of Rising Sun-Lebanon. A truck that worked that run can stay where it was last parked, whether that is a yard near the mine or a driveway in town; give us the address and we plan the pickup around it.
Have the VIN, the registration card and any scale tickets or service records for that tractor or dump together before you call. Those papers answer most of our questions about a Porter Sand & Gravel truck before anyone has to look under it.
770 farms, per USDA
Harvest trucks on Kent County’s grain ground
Kent County has 770 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and its top crops there are listed as corn, soybeans and wheat. Grain trucks, hopper tractors and straight trucks with farm plates all fit what we collect from those operations.
A farm truck that only moves at harvest is frequently parked in a barn or at the edge of a field off a Kent County back road. Tell us how to reach it, whether the lane takes a rollback, and whose name is on the title, and send photos of the box or trailer with the cab.
Off the flight line
Leaving a truck behind at Dover Air Force Base
Dover Air Force Base, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists as a military installation, lies 2.7 miles north-east of Rising Sun-Lebanon. If you are a contractor or a service member with a truck parked near the base and a move order coming, you can leave the truck behind and finish the sale from your next posting.
Name someone local who can hand over the keys, and note whether the truck sits on base property or off it; access onto the installation is arranged by you, not by us.
