Neer’s pit, Duff Quarry and Urbana Materials
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Neer’s Sand & Gravel LLC about 6 miles south-west of Bellefontaine and DUFF QUARRY #1, a crushed-stone site, roughly 8.3 miles to the north-west. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that spends its shifts between those two pits may be parked at a yard out on the county roads when you call us; give us that address rather than a town mailing address.
Further out, Urbana Materials appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings about 17.9 miles south of town. If your aggregate hauler is kept down toward Urbana instead of in Bellefontaine itself, we collect it from there. Photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and note the VIN plate, so we can match the photos to the title.
Honda’s rail yards east of town
East of Bellefontaine, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows two yards: HONDA AUTOLOAD at 11.9 miles and HONDA PLANT at 12.3 miles. Car haulers and day cabs that shuttle to those sidings can be picked up wherever they sit between runs, as long as someone can let us onto the lot.
Twelve Bellefontaine carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census list motor vehicles as cargo they haul. If yours is one of those rigs, tell us the trailer type and whether the headrack and ramps stay with the tractor or are sold separately, and keep the registration with the title.
Private fleets and for-hire rigs on the Logan County roster
Of the 62 Bellefontaine carriers active in FMCSA’s carrier census, 39 keep to Ohio routes, 23 cross state lines, and 22 move their own goods as private fleets. A private-fleet straight truck that never crossed a state line still sells the same way; we need the title in the owner’s name and a way to reach the truck.
General freight is listed by 34 of those carriers in the FMCSA census, machinery and large objects by 15, and grain, feed and hay by 10. Four carriers were added in 2025 and five in 2024, according to the same federal registry. If a lender still holds your title, bring the lien release along with it.
One local fleet registers 32 power units and 31 drivers with FMCSA, another 19 units and 18 drivers, and a third 8 units and 7 drivers. If you are selling several tractors from a yard that size, send us the VIN list in one message and we can arrange to collect them together.
Bellefontaine’s 51 trucks stopped by inspectors from October 2024 to August 2026 show a 2021 median model year in FMCSA roadside inspection records, and 17.65 percent of them were built ten or more years earlier. Whichever side of that line your truck falls on, the steps are identical: title, registration, photos, and the odometer reading.
Of the 21 local carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 20,000 miles per truck a year. The same FMCSA filings show 106 local drivers working within 100 miles and 101 driving beyond that radius. A tractor that runs long routes may be away from home when you decide to sell; tell us where it will be parked and when.
Corn, soybeans, milk and manufacturing
Milk sits third behind corn and soybeans across the 977 Logan County farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallied. If your grain truck or milk tanker is kept in a farmyard between harvests or routes, we come to the farmyard; have the title and a gate contact ready.
Manufacturing holds 913 of the 8,061 jobs counted in Bellefontaine for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, about 11.3 percent, with construction at 299 and wholesale trade at 154. Bellefontaine’s 23 construction establishments, per the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, keep dump trucks and flatbeds at their own yards and job sites. Give us whichever of those locations holds yours, plus any service records you have.
Getting to the truck around town
Bellefontaine has 11 bridges on the Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory, with zero load postings and zero clearances below 14 feet among them. A tow or lowboy reaching a truck in town has no posted bridge to route around, so a street address is usually all we need.
Out at a pit, a quarry or a farm lot, describe the approach for us. Tell us if the truck is behind a locked gate, in a barn or on soft ground, and name the person who can meet us there.
