Tankers that load at the Heath fuel terminal
Six miles up the road from Buckeye Lake, Heath has a petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list. If your tanker or fuel truck loads there, tell us the tank’s capacity and how many compartments it carries when you first get in touch.
A fuel hauler that spends its days on the Heath rack is often parked at a yard near Buckeye Lake rather than at the terminal itself. Give us the street address where it is kept between loads, and send photos of the tank, the cab and the VIN plate so we can match the unit to its paperwork.
Day cabs on the short hop to Newark’s rail yards
Newark West, 9.1 miles north-east, and the Newark yard just beyond it at 9.8 miles both appear on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Day cabs that move loads between those yards and nearby docks are trucks we buy outright.
A tractor working the Newark yards may be kept in Newark, in Heath or back at a lot along the lake, and any of those spots works for us. Have the registration and the VIN ready, and note whether a trailer stays hooked to the tractor or goes separately.
Aggregate haulers working the sand pits and limestone quarries
North-west of the lake, Brookside Mine is a sand and gravel operation 12.8 miles away, and the St Louisville Plant, another sand and gravel site, sits 15.5 miles north; both are on file with the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Tandem and tri-axle dump trucks hauling aggregate out of those pits are a good fit for us.
East of town, Pleasant Valley Limestone at 18.6 miles and the Fultonham Plant at 19.6 miles are crushed-stone quarries, according to Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. A rock truck from either quarry can stay right where it is parked; send us photos of the box, the hoist and the axles along with the cab.
If a dump body was swapped or a lift axle was added, write that down with the date it happened. Service invoices from a quarry or pit maintenance shop show us the truck’s history in a way photos alone cannot.
Box trucks and tractors heading west to the supply center
Defense Supply Center Columbus is a military installation 22.3 miles west of Buckeye Lake, per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Box trucks and tractors that carry freight toward the base still get collected out here by the lake, or at whatever lot west of town they call home.
For a truck that runs onto a base, note any gate permit stickers or decals so we know what to remove before the truck leaves your hands. Bring the keys, the registration and any logbook paperwork you still hold.
Farm trucks and small contractors near Buckeye Lake
Licking County counted 1,532 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and its top products were corn, soybeans and hogs. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm tractors that work those fields are welcome here, whether they sit in a barn lot or by a grain bin.
Around the lake itself, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 668 jobs located in Buckeye Lake in 2023, and the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 4 construction establishments. A dump truck, a flatbed or a service body from a small local contractor is as welcome as a fleet tractor; one truck is enough to call us.
A lost certificate goes to the clerk on East Main
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues titles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and the one for this area is the Licking County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 877 East Main St, Newark, 43055, about 10.5 miles from Buckeye Lake. If the certificate of title is missing, that office handles the duplicate.
Keep the Ohio certificate of title unsigned until we meet you at the truck. If a bank or lender is still listed on it, bring the lien release with you.
