Log haulers and lumber trailers around Cohasset
Of the 53 active carriers based in Cohasset on FMCSA’s carrier census, 17 list logs, poles, beams or lumber among what they haul. If your tractor has pulled a log trailer for one of them, send us photos of the cab, the frame and the bunks, plus the VIN, and say whether the trailer goes with it.
General freight shows up on 21 of those Cohasset registrations, and machinery or large objects on 14, according to the same federal census. A truck that hauled lumber one week and equipment the next is common here, so tell us which trailers it pulled; that lets us ask the right questions about the hitch, the fifth wheel and the axles before we schedule anything.
Cohasset’s in-state haulers and the yards they park in
Forty-eight of the Cohasset carriers on FMCSA’s census run intrastate only, five cross state lines, and 39 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck from a private fleet is often parked at the owner’s yard or shop rather than at a terminal, so give us that address and the name of whoever can let our driver in.
FMCSA registrations here count 86 drivers working inside a 100-mile radius against 65 going farther. For six carriers that report mileage, the federal census puts the median at 17,500 miles a truck each year. Have the odometer reading ready along with the VIN, and if the truck sits at a job site rather than in town, describe the access road for us.
Between September 2024 and August 2026, inspectors pulled over 30 trucks run by Cohasset carriers, and the median model year among them was 2019 in FMCSA roadside inspection records. A third of them were ten or more model years old in those same records.
Whatever the model year of yours, keep the inspection reports and service records from those stops together with the truck. Photos of the data plate, the dash with the engine on, and each side of the tractor give us the full picture alongside those papers.
Mine work east of town at Mesabi Metallics
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Mesabi Metallics Company LLC, a metal mine, about 22 miles east of Cohasset. If your truck has hauled to or from that site, tell us so when you get in touch, along with any site paperwork you kept.
A truck parked out toward the mine does not need to be driven back west to Cohasset for us to collect it. Send the location, gate details and a contact on site, and the pickup is planned around where it already stands.
Shop floors
Builders, plants and wholesalers in the Cohasset job base
In 2023 Cohasset counted 1,056 jobs on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with manufacturing holding 102 of them (9.7 percent) and construction 97 (9.2 percent). Wholesale trade added 65 more, a 6.2 percent share in that LEHD release.
Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies that worked for a builder can be sold the same way as a road tractor: send the title, the registration and photos of the body as well as the chassis.
Soybeans and deer
Soybean and corn ground across Itasca County
Around Cohasset, 424 farms operate countywide in Itasca County according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with soybeans, corn and deer listed as the top products. Six Cohasset carriers on FMCSA’s census also report hauling farm supplies.
A grain truck or farm tractor-trailer that sits in a machine shed between seasons can be collected from the farm itself. Tell us the field road or yard it is parked on and how a loader can reach it.
A duplicate title from the Grand Rapids registrar
For a Cohasset owner, a Minnesota title runs through one of the deputy registrar offices that serve the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS). The Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) lists the Grand Rapids deputy registrar office at 401 SE 11Th St, Grand Rapids, 55744, about 6.8 miles from Cohasset.
If the title is missing or still shows a lender, that Grand Rapids office is where a duplicate or a lien release gets sorted. Bring your ID and the registration, and let us know where things stand so the paperwork and the pickup line up.
