Rickenbacker is just up the road
A day cab that spends its shifts pulling boxes out of that yard may well be parked closer to the ramp than to the village, so give us the lot address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
About 4.6 miles north, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Columbus, OH intermodal ramp. If your tractor has worked both terminals, tell us which one it ran from most. Send the VIN with a photo of the door sticker, too.
Also to the north, roughly 11.8 miles out, sits the Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminal in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. Owners of a tractor set up for tank work out of Transflo should note any wet kit or pump fitted to it, and include a photo of that equipment beside the cab shots.
South Columbus Sand and Gravel Plant, recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 5.5 miles north-west of town. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul from that plant are welcome here; photograph the body, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab so the listing of what you have is complete.
Ten miles south, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a sand and gravel operation at Circleville, and the same agency records the Columbus Plant crushed-stone quarry 11.9 miles north. If your dump truck is kept at one of those sites rather than at home, tell us whether we need a site escort or a hard hat to reach it.
Gather any scale tickets, annual inspection reports or service invoices for a quarry truck into one folder before we talk. They help us confirm the axle setup and body fitted, and they travel with the title when the truck leaves.
If you are one of those owner-operators selling a single tractor, have the title, the current registration and the cab card ready, and we will work from there.
Of those 49 carriers, 33 run intrastate only and 16 cross state lines, according to the same FMCSA census, and 13 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet truck can carry a company name on the title, so check whose name is printed there and who in the business can sign it over.
The three biggest Ashville fleets on FMCSA’s register field 16, 14 and 5 power units. Selling several units at once is fine; send a list of VINs and where each one is parked, and we will set up a collection that suits your yard.
Eight Ashville carriers haul machinery and large objects, by FMCSA’s carrier census count. Lowboy and step-deck tractors fall within what we purchase, and the trailer can come with the tractor or stay behind; tell us which when you first get in touch.
Six carriers here list grain, feed and hay, and six more list farm supplies in the FMCSA census. The USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 760 farms in Pickaway County, with corn, soybeans and milk at the top of its list of products. Grain trucks and hopper tractors from those farms are often stored in a barn or machine shed between seasons, and we can collect from the farm itself.
On a farm truck, the name on the title is not always the name of the person at the wheel. Sort out whose signature the state’s title agency will need before the pickup date, and if the title is missing, the state’s title agency is where a duplicate comes from.
Miles and start-ups
Among 16 Ashville carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 28,142 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading when you send photos, and include a clear shot of the dash with the ignition on.
FMCSA’s register logged four new carriers in Ashville in 2025 and three in 2024. A recently started carrier selling a tractor should have the purchase paperwork and the title in the business name ready, since that is what we check first.
Jobs and the Rickenbacker area
Many people who work here park a work truck at home in the village; if that is your situation, a driveway or a side street is a perfectly good place for us to meet the truck.
Two military installations, NG Rickenbacker at 5.6 miles and Rickenbacker at 6.1 miles, both to the north, appear in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If your truck is kept on a base-adjacent lot with controlled access, let us know so the pickup is arranged with whoever manages entry.
The questions we get asked in Ashville
- Do you buy dump trucks that work the Circleville gravel pits?The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a sand and gravel operation at Circleville, 10 miles south of Ashville, and dump trucks from it are on our list. Send photos of the body and cab, the VIN and where the truck is kept.
