Hoppers and feed boxes
Soybean, corn and hog country hauling out of Arlington
Grain, feed and hay show up on the cargo lists of seven Arlington-based outfits, out of 11 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in the village.
Soybeans, corn and hogs head the list for Hancock County’s 995 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Around Arlington that means a truck may sit in a machine shed or a barn lot between harvests; give us the farm address and a contact who can open the shed, and we collect it from there.
Two Arlington carriers in FMCSA’s census also haul farm supplies. A truck that delivered seed, feed or fertiliser to those same farms belongs on the list of what we purchase, so have its registration and any service records together before you call.
Quarry roads to Findlay and Bluffton
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Findlay Plant, a crushed-stone quarry, 8.2 miles north of Arlington, and Bluffton Stone Company LLC., another crushed-stone quarry, 12.4 miles to the west. A dump truck or tri-axle that has worked either site can stay parked at your yard in Arlington; tell us where it is and how it can be reached.
Farther east, Kirbys Sand & Gravel sits 23.4 miles out and the Upper Sandusky industrial-mineral mine 24.4 miles out, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck is parked at one of those sites rather than in town, we arrange the collection with whoever runs the lot.
For any aggregate truck, photos of the bed, the hoist and the tires alongside the cab let us see the truck as you describe it. Add the VIN and the odometer reading and most of our questions are already answered.
Coal loads, the FINDLEY yard and the ICTF at North Baltimore
Heading up toward Findlay, the FINDLEY rail yard sits 9.6 miles north of Arlington according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
Up the same direction, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Northwest Ohio ICTF intermodal ramp at North Baltimore 20.6 miles away, with the Northwest Ohio Terminal rail yard at 20.7 miles on the rail network list. A day cab that pulled containers off that ramp can be sold from wherever it is parked; give us the address and the gate contact.
Six trucks and fewer
One-truck owners and a six-truck fleet
FMCSA’s carrier census shows the biggest fleet based in Arlington running six power units and six drivers, and the next two running one truck each. Whether you are selling a single tractor or part of a small fleet, send the VIN, the title and photos for each truck and we deal with them one by one.
Seven of the village’s carriers are private fleets in FMCSA records, hauling their own goods rather than for hire, while five run interstate and six intrastate. A farm or business truck that never hauled for anyone else is just as welcome; registration and any inspection records help us see where it has worked.
Across those carriers, FMCSA lists 25 drivers working inside a hundred-mile radius of home and 18 going farther. A truck that spent its days on local grain and stone runs is likely parked close to Arlington when you sell it, which keeps the pickup simple.
Transport work in a small village
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 368 jobs in Arlington, and 74 of them, a 20.1 percent share, sit in transportation and warehousing. If your truck belongs to an employer here and you are selling on its behalf, have the title holder’s name and a signed authorisation ready.
Five construction establishments appear for the area in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and builders like those keep dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies.
Arlington sellers and the clerk’s title office in Findlay
In Ohio titles come from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles lists the one for Arlington as the Hancock County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 8210 C R 140, Suite E, Findlay, 45840, 10.8 miles from the village. If the title is missing, that office handles the duplicate.
Before you visit, check that the name on the registration matches the name that will go on the title, and bring photo identification. If a bank once held a lien on the truck, a release letter from the lender saves a second trip to Findlay.
