Belpre trucks at the pits east and west of the river road
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Belpre Sand & Gravel 6.6 miles south-west of town and Briggs Sand and Gravel Inc 6.7 miles to the north-east. A dump truck or tri-axle that has worked either pit can be collected right where it is parked between loads; give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Another federal mine listing, again from the Mine Safety and Health Administration, puts the Marietta Plant, an industrial-mineral mine, 5.6 miles north-east of Belpre. If your tractor or straight truck has been assigned to that site, send photos of the body, the cab and the plate along with the VIN, and say which site it last worked from.
Haulers who split time among all three locations should tell us which one the truck is closest to today. That single answer lets us route the collection to the correct gate instead of to your home address in Belpre.
A siding in town, a fuel terminal up the Ohio
Just 0.3 miles east of the town centre, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the BELPRE rail yard. Trucks that shuttle between that siding and local customers rarely travel far, so the address of the yard or your own lot is usually all we need to set up the pickup.
Up the river, the Energy Information Administration places the MARIETTA petroleum product terminal 12.3 miles north-east of Belpre. If yours is a tank truck or a tractor that has pulled fuel out of that terminal, keep its hazmat and inspection paperwork with the title, and list the trailer separately if it is part of the sale.
Registered haulers with a Belpre address
Belpre has 43 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 17 of them list general freight while 9 list motor vehicles, 8 list machinery and large objects and 6 list farm supplies. Car haulers, lowboys, flatbeds and dry vans are all trucks we collect here, so tell us the body or trailer type in your first message.
Looking at how those carriers operate, the same FMCSA census shows 25 running interstate, 18 staying intrastate and 19 that are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck titled to a business needs the signature of whoever is authorised for that business, so have that person ready before we schedule anything.
Fleet size varies widely: per FMCSA’s carrier census, the three biggest registrations near Belpre list 19 power units with 2 drivers, 8 power units with 4 drivers and 6 power units with 6 drivers. Selling several units at once is fine; send one VIN list and say where each truck is parked.
Inspection lanes and odometers
Reach and roadside records for Belpre rigs
FMCSA’s carrier census records 43 carriers here with drivers working within 100 miles and 30 with drivers going beyond that radius. A truck on regional work may be out at a customer’s site or across the state line when you contact us, so give us where it will sit on the day you want it gone.
Among the 12 Belpre carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median was 12,424 miles per truck. Send an odometer photo with the cab shots so the reading in your message matches the dash.
Roadside inspections give a separate picture: FMCSA roadside inspection records covering 30 trucks checked between October 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2011.5, with 70 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the model year, the title, the registration and any service records you kept are what we ask for.
Reaching the truck on local roads
FHWA’s bridge inventory lists 14 spans in Belpre, and just 1 of them carries a posted load limit. If the only way to the truck crosses that span, tell us, and the collection comes in another way.
Narrow driveways, rain-softened yards and locked gates all shape the pickup too. Describe how the truck is reached from the street, and we arrive with the right equipment.
Plant floors, job sites and cattle country around Belpre
Of the 2,494 jobs located in Belpre during 2023, 602 (24.1 percent) were in manufacturing, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and tractors that run between plant docks in town are among what we collect, and a plant lot is a fine place for us to meet the truck if you have permission to have it moved from there.
A contractor selling a dump truck, flatbed or service body should list any mounted equipment such as a crane, liftgate or plow, and say whether it stays with the truck.
Across Washington County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 1,088 farms, with cattle, corn and milk at the top. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm-plated straight trucks parked on a farm off a county road are collected right there; have the title in the name on the registration.
The questions we get asked in Belpre

List each VIN beside the lot or pit where that unit sits, plus the business name printed on its title.
