The quarry on Batavia’s eastern edge
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Batavia Mine, a crushed-stone quarry, 4.4 miles east of the town centre. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul stone from that pit are often parked on the east side of town, so tell us which road the truck is parked off and whether a lowboy trailer can pull in beside it.
Evans Gravel, a sand and gravel operation, sits 8.6 miles north-west of Batavia on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register as well. If your truck splits its week between the two pits, send a photo of the body and the hoist along with the cab and the VIN plate, and say which site it last loaded at so we know where to look for it.
Rail yards and tank terminals out west
Heading west toward the city, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the CLARE rail yard 11.8 miles from Batavia and the LINWOOD yard at 13.4 miles. A tractor that shuttles boxes or flats between those yards can be collected from a drop lot near either one; give us the lot’s address and a gate contact.
Two liquid bulk terminals appear in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings in that direction: Heniff Transportation at 11.9 miles and Kinder Morgan at 14.3 miles. Further on, the Energy Information Administration records the CINCINNATI NORTH petroleum product terminal 17.6 miles west. For a tractor that has pulled tankers to these sites, keep the tank inspection paperwork and the registration in one folder so it changes hands with the keys.
The port of Cincinnati, OH, is 18.3 miles west of Batavia according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck working the river docks does not need to come back east to Clermont County to be sold; we come to wherever it is parked.
Carriers on file in town
Freight, coil and lumber haulers registered in Batavia
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 116 active carriers based in Batavia, 65 of them interstate and 51 intrastate, and 64 of the total are private fleets. Whether yours hauls for hire across state lines or carries only its own company’s goods, the sale works the same way: title, registration and a set of clear photos.
General freight is the cargo 61 of those carriers list in the same federal census, followed by machinery and large objects at 24, metal sheets, coils and rolls at 15, and logs, poles, beams and lumber at 13. Flatbed tractors and step-decks that carry coil or timber are trucks we purchase, and a photo of the deck and its securement points helps us see the whole rig.
New registrations in Batavia reached 9 carriers in 2025, up from 3 in 2024, on FMCSA’s census. A new authority that is selling its first tractor needs nothing special: the title in the company’s name and the person who can sign for it.
Yards with many trucks
One-truck owners next to fleets of fifty
Among Batavia carriers, the federal motor carrier census shows one fleet with 57 power units and 62 drivers, another with 32 units and 16 drivers, and a third with 24 units and 16 drivers. If you are clearing several trucks from a yard at once, list each VIN and where each is parked, and we will arrange the collection as one job.
Drivers working inside a 100-mile radius number 252 in FMCSA’s census for the town’s carriers, against 289 who go beyond it. For the 51 carriers that report mileage, the median is 15,000 miles a truck on that same census. Write the current odometer reading down before you call; it is one of the first things we ask.
Batavia tractors stopped at the roadside, by build year
FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 118 Batavia-based trucks checked from September 2024 to August 2026, and the middle build year among them is 2019. Just under a quarter of that group, 23.7 percent by the same FMCSA inspection records, carried a build year a decade or more back. Whatever year yours is, the VIN tells us the build, so start by sending that.
The National Bridge Inventory (Federal Highway Administration) lists 16 bridges in Batavia, and it records none of them as load-posted and none under fourteen-foot clearance. A tall reefer or a loaded dump can be reached on local roads, so tell us the parking spot and we plan the pickup there.
Courthouse title desk
A lost title at the courthouse on West Main
In Ohio, titles are issued through County Clerk of Courts title offices under the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Batavia’s is the Clermont County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 457 West Main Street, Batavia, 45103, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 0.6 miles from the centre of town. An owner in Batavia who cannot find the title can ask that Clerk’s counter for a replacement a short walk from the courthouse square.
Bring the VIN and photo identification when you go, and if the truck is titled to a company, the signature of whoever is authorised to sign for it. Have the registration with you as well, so the paperwork we receive matches what the Clerk issues.
Construction crews, plants and Clermont farms
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 2,644 jobs in Batavia in 2023, with 244 in construction, a 9.2 percent share, and 169 in manufacturing, 6.4 percent. Builders keep 78 construction establishments across Clermont County, a figure taken from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Dump trucks, flatbeds and roll-offs serving those sites are all trucks we buy; photos of the body and the chassis plate are enough to start.
Out around Batavia, the county counted 815 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with soybeans, corn and horses at the top of the list. A grain truck or a livestock and horse hauler parked at a farm is collected from the farm itself; tell us which farm lane reaches it and whether a tow truck can get in.
The questions we get asked in Batavia
- Will you collect a tri-axle that hauls from the Batavia Mine quarry?Batavia Mine sits 4.4 miles east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration register, and we collect trucks from yards around it. Name the yard off the quarry road and who holds its key.
- I misplaced my tractor’s Ohio title; where in Batavia do I get another?The Clermont County Clerk of Courts Title Office, 457 West Main Street, Batavia, 45103, is 0.6 miles from town according to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. A duplicate title can be requested there.
- My tractor sits at a terminal on the Cincinnati side. Can it stay at the terminal west of Batavia for pickup?Heniff Transportation and Kinder Morgan, both liquid bulk terminals on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, lie 11.9 and 14.3 miles west of Batavia, and the truck can be collected where it is parked. Tell us the terminal and a contact on site.
