Bolindale between the Warren and Youngstown terminals
The Energy Information Administration places a petroleum product terminal at Warren, roughly 2.5 miles east of Bolindale. A tanker or fuel straight truck that loads there is probably parked within a few minutes of town, so give us the street address and whether a lowboy or a tow rig can get in beside it.
Another rack, listed as Youngstown, lies about 9.4 miles south-east on the same Energy Information Administration record. Owners whose tractors pulled tank trailers between the two racks should mention any trailer that goes with the sale, and send separate photos of the tractor’s cab, frame and fifth wheel and of the tank itself.
Hazmat-hauling equipment usually carries its own paper trail. Keep the registration, the annual inspection sheets and any tank test certificates together in the cab and have them out when we arrive.
CSX Autoload
Two Lordstown yards five miles west
According to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a Lordstown rail yard lies about 5.6 miles south-west of Bolindale. A day cab that shuttles boxes or loads between that yard and Trumbull County docks fits the kind of tractor we purchase here.
The Lordstown CSX Autoload yard appears on that same North American Rail Network map at roughly 5.6 miles to the west. If your tractor or car hauler has worked the autoload ramp, tell us the configuration, the trailer it pulled and the VIN, and our first call can be about the truck rather than about the route.
Drivers who keep their rigs at a yard instead of at home should check that gate access is arranged before pickup day. Write down who holds the key and the hours the lot is open so we can plan the visit around them.
South-side dump work
Tri-axles that run sand, gravel and crushed stone
Solomon’s Mines Inc., a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is about 21.2 miles south of Bolindale. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate out of a pit like that are welcome on our list, whether they sit at the pit or back in a driveway.
Mine Safety and Health Administration records also show the Honey Creek Pit, a crushed-stone quarry around 22.3 miles to the south-east. If your dump truck spent its working life between that quarry and job sites in the valley, photograph the body, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab and the VIN plate.
Off-road quarry equipment and road-registered dump trucks are titled differently, so confirm which one you own. For a highway truck, the title and current registration are what we need to see first.
Guard camp deliveries
Military sites to the north-east and west
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists a Youngstown military installation about 6.8 miles north-east of Bolindale. Contractors whose box trucks or flatbeds made deliveries onto a base like that can sell them to us from wherever the truck is now parked.
Further out, NG Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center sits roughly 15.9 miles west, per the same Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing. A truck kept at a contractor’s lot near Ravenna is no harder for us to reach than one in a Bolindale driveway; just send the address and a contact for the site.
Trumbull grain and milk
Milk tankers and grain hoppers off Bolindale farms
Around Bolindale, grain and milk are the farm staples: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 945 farms in Trumbull County, with corn, soybeans and milk at the top of the list. Grain trucks, bulk milk haulers and farm straight trucks from those operations are trucks we buy.
A farm-plated hopper or milk tanker from a Bolindale-area dairy is sold on its Ohio title, which must carry your own name. Before you call, find the title, note whether a lender is listed on it, and have photos ready of the bed or tank as well as the cab.
Replacing a missing Ohio title before collection
Ohio titles are issued under the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and the work is done at the County Clerk of Courts title offices. A Bolindale owner who cannot find the title should ask the Trumbull County Clerk of Courts title office for a duplicate before we schedule pickup.
Take your photo ID and the VIN when you go, and bring a lien release for any lender still shown. The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles sets out its title requirements on its titles page at bmv.ohio.gov; read it first if the truck came to you through an estate or a business.
