C F Poeppelman Inc runs a crushed-stone quarry 1.7 miles south of Bradford, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls from that pit is often parked at the quarry or at the owner’s yard in town, so give us the exact spot and who can let us in when you get in touch.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Milton Materials, LLC, a sand and gravel operation 8.8 miles south-east, and Portable Plant #1, a crushed-stone quarry 10.5 miles in the same direction. Hardin Sand and Gravel, 13.9 miles to the north-east, also appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck moves aggregate between these sites, send photos of the body, the frame and the cab, plus the VIN, and we can talk about it without you driving anywhere.
Among the 32 active carriers based here in FMCSA’s carrier census, 12 haul grain, feed or hay and 6 carry farm supplies.
A grain hopper, a feed body or a straight truck used for a harvest season is welcome here. If it is kept in a barn lot or a field lane off a county road, describe the ground and whether a tow truck can reach it, and keep its registration and any service records together for the day we arrive.
Freight, machinery and the carriers in town
General freight is the leading cargo for Bradford carriers, with 18 of the 32 listed in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 8 carry machinery or large objects. The same federal census shows 19 operating interstate, 13 staying inside Ohio and 8 running as private fleets for their own goods.
One fleet registered here reports 201 power units and 195 drivers to FMCSA’s carrier census, while the next two report 22 and 12 trucks. Whether you are selling a single tractor or several units from a yard, list the VINs and where each one is kept so the pickup can be planned as one visit.
FMCSA records show new registrations are few: two carriers started in 2024 and one in 2025.
Local drivers and long hauls
Drivers working for Bradford carriers split unevenly by distance: FMCSA’s carrier census lists 57 inside a hundred-mile radius and 257 beyond it. A truck on long runs may be away from town when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked between loads.
Have the odometer reading ready with the VIN; it is one of the first things we ask.
Late-model or older, the process is the same. Send the year, make and model with your photos, and keep any inspection reports from those roadside stops with the truck’s papers.
For Bradford, the Miami County Clerk of Courts Title Office is at 1506 One Stop Ct Suite 5, Troy, 45373, about 12.3 miles from town, as the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles lists it.
If the title is lost or still names a lienholder whose loan is cleared, start at that Troy office before we schedule collection. Bring your ID and the VIN, and keep the lien release letter if a loan was cleared.
Plants, builders and a rail yard to the west
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 288 jobs in Bradford in 2023, and 106 of them, 36.8 percent, are in manufacturing.
A box truck from a plant, a contractor’s dump truck or a tractor that shuttles to that yard can all be collected from the lot where they work.
