Terminals two miles east, rail yards seven miles out
The Energy Information Administration places a Youngstown petroleum product terminal 2 miles east of Austintown and a second one 5.8 miles to the south-east. If your tank tractor loads at either rack, note which one when you write to us, and send the registration together with the VIN.
Seven miles east, Haselton yard appears in the North American Rail Network, and Lordstown NS Autoload lies 7.8 miles north-west on that same federal rail map. A day cab that shuttles between those two yards and the Austintown lots can be collected wherever it is parked; give us the yard or street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Van, car-hauler and coach operators west of Youngstown
General freight shows up on 57 of the 108 active Austintown carrier records in FMCSA’s carrier census. If you run one of those dry-van or flatbed units, photos of each side of the cab, the dash and the plate are what we ask for first.
Sixteen carriers here haul motor vehicles, 13 carry passengers and 11 move machinery or large objects, according to the same federal census. Car haulers, coaches and lowboy tractors all fit what we purchase; for a bus, include the seating layout in your photos, and for a lowboy, a shot of the deck and ramps.
In FMCSA’s census, 64 of these carriers operate interstate, 42 operate intrastate, and 44 are private fleets. A private fleet selling a unit should have the company officer who signs titles ready to sign, since the title has to come from the registered owner.
What roadside checks found on Austintown tractors
Across 70 trucks checked between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records show a median model year of 2018, with 35.7 percent ten or more model years old. Whichever side of that line your truck falls on, the model year printed on the title is the one we go by, so keep the title close when you call.
Thirty-seven Austintown carriers report mileage to the federal motor carrier census, and their median is 23,895 miles per truck. Read the odometer before you contact us and send a photo of it; that reading and the VIN start every conversation.
The three biggest fleets registered here run 60, 47 and 27 power units, the last of them with 97 drivers, as FMCSA’s census lists them. A fleet manager selling several units at once can send one list of VINs and parking spots, and we plan the collections from that.
Gravel, stone and bulk liquid to the south
Solomon’s Mines Inc., a sand and gravel operation 13.4 miles south, and Honey Creek Pit, a crushed-stone quarry 14.7 miles south-east, are both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Dump trucks parked at a pit gate can stay there; tell us who controls access to the site so the pickup is cleared with them.
Buckeye Transfer, a liquid bulk terminal 14.1 miles south of town, is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. For a tanker tractor based down there, send the cab card along with the title, and tell us whether the trailer stays with you or goes with the truck.
Factory, building and dairy work around Austintown
Manufacturing holds 867 of Austintown’s 9,961 jobs, with construction at 641, wholesale trade at 527 and transportation and warehousing at 120, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Straight trucks, box trucks and dump trucks used for that work are all trucks we purchase; a work order history or service file helps us read the truck before we see it.
Fifty construction businesses operate from Austintown addresses, as the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tallies them. In the wider county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 661 Mahoning County farms, with milk, soybeans and corn at the top, so a grain truck or milk hauler parked on a farm lane is one we drive out to collect.
Bridges and drivers on local routes
Not one of Austintown’s 11 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory carries a load posting or sits lower than 14 feet. That leaves our recovery truck free to reach a tall tractor anywhere in town; just tell us the street and whether the truck is boxed in by other equipment.
Carriers here report 205 drivers working within 100 miles and 311 driving beyond it, per FMCSA’s census. If your truck is out on a run and finishes somewhere else, tell us where it will be parked when the sale is ready, and that is where we meet it.
The questions we get asked in Austintown
- My tank tractor is parked at the Youngstown fuel terminal. Does it have to come off the terminal lot before you collect?The Energy Information Administration puts that terminal just 2 miles east of town, and we collect from the terminal lot itself. Give us the gate contact and the spot number.
- Do you buy dump trucks that work the gravel pits south of Austintown?Solomon’s Mines and Honey Creek Pit, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list within 15 miles south, are the kind of sites we collect from. Send the title, the VIN and photos of the body and the cab.
- Our private fleet wants to sell three units at once. How does that work?FMCSA’s census counts 44 private fleets in Austintown, and each one sells by sending a single list of VINs, titles and parking locations. We arrange the collections from that list, with one signer for the company titles.
- Is a 2016 model year tractor one you would look at?FMCSA roadside inspection records put the Austintown median at model year 2018 across 70 trucks, and we look at tractors on both sides of that figure. Send the VIN, the odometer photo and the title details.
