Canton’s carriers, by what they carry

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 555 active motor carriers based in Canton, and 373 of them declare general freight. If yours is a dry van tractor or a box truck from that group, have the title and current registration in the same folder before you contact us, along with the VIN.

Coils and heavy loads appear on the same register too: 86 Canton carriers declare metal sheets, coils and rolls, 83 declare machinery and large objects, and 78 declare motor vehicles, according to FMCSA’s census. Flatbed tractors, step decks, lowboys and car haulers all fit what we purchase, so tell us the trailer type along with the tractor when you write.

Terminals and yards east of downtown

The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals under the Canton name, one 1.4 miles south-east of the city and another 3.5 miles south-west. A tank truck or fuel tractor that loads at either one can stay parked at its home lot; give us the address and someone who can open the gate.

Two rail yards sit just east of the city in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: East End at 2.7 miles and the Canton yard at 2.9 miles. For a drayage day cab working those yards, photos of the cab, frame, fifth wheel and tires let us see the truck before we arrive.

Aggregate and coal

Gravel to the west, coal to the south

West toward Massillon, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Tiger Sand & Gravel 8.3 miles out and the Oster Sand & Gravel Massillon Plant at 8.5 miles. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that load at those pits can be collected from a quarry lot or a yard nearby, provided the site lets us in.

Further out, MSHA lists the CCU Tuscarawas Strip coal preparation plant 15.8 miles south-west and the Kimble #1 coal mine 20.6 miles south. For a truck parked on a mine property, tell us the site and who manages access there.

Work and jobs

Factories, builders and warehouses

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 40,323 jobs in Canton in 2023, with 7,415 of them, 18.4 percent, in manufacturing. If your straight truck or tractor runs parts between plants, send its service log with the photos.

Construction held 2,415 jobs and wholesale trade 2,166, while transportation and warehousing counted 1,040, per LEHD. County Business Patterns, also from the Census Bureau, records 207 construction establishments and 3 warehousing establishments in the area. Contractors selling a dump, a stake bed or a crane truck can leave it on the job yard where it is parked.

The fleet

How old Canton’s trucks are

Across 508 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2020, with 22.8 percent of those trucks ten or more model years old. Whichever year yours is, the model year printed on the title is the one to quote us.

For 130 carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 24,631 miles per truck. Note the current odometer reading when you photograph the dash, so the figure you give us matches the one we read at collection.

Fleets and routes

Selling one truck or several

The three biggest fleets based in Canton run 282, 160 and 128 power units, FMCSA reports. A fleet clearing several units at once can send a single list of VINs and titles, and we work through them together rather than truck by truck.

Drivers split between local and long routes: 1,369 work within 100 miles and 1,703 beyond it, in FMCSA’s census. If your sleeper is out on a run, tell us when it will be back in Canton or name the terminal where it will park, and the collection is planned around that.

Farms and bridges

Stark County roads and farms

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,431 farms in Stark County, with milk, corn and soybeans the leading products. A grain truck or milk tanker parked on a farm can be collected right there; say whether the lane takes a tow rig.

Of 102 bridges listed for Canton by the National Bridge Inventory, 3 carry posted load limits and none has a clearance under 14 feet. Mention any posted bridge on the road to your yard so the pickup route avoids it.

The questions we get asked in Canton

  • My dump truck is parked at a gravel pit near Massillon. Can you collect it from there?You can leave it where it sits. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Tiger Sand & Gravel and the Oster Sand & Gravel Massillon Plant about 8 miles west of Canton, and we collect from the pit if the operator allows access.
  • We are a private fleet, not a for-hire carrier. Can we still sell to you?FMCSA’s carrier census counts 198 private fleets in Canton, and a truck from one sells to us the same way a for-hire carrier’s does; have the business’s authorised signer ready for the title.
  • I pull steel coils on a flatbed from a Canton yard. What paperwork do you need?Coil rigs are on our list, and FMCSA’s carrier census counts 86 Canton carriers hauling metal sheets, coils and rolls. Have the title, the registration and the latest annual inspection report together, and tell us whether the flatbed trailer is part of the sale.
