Quarry ground
Two quarries within a mile and a half of Carey
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists CAREY PLANT, a crushed-stone quarry, 0.9 miles north-east of town, and Stoneco, Inc., another crushed-stone quarry, 1.5 miles out in the same direction. A tri-axle or quad dump that has hauled stone from either pit can be collected wherever it sits, whether that is a yard on the edge of Carey or a lot nearer the quarry gate. Send the yard address and the name of whoever can unlock the truck for collection.
Ten miles east, KIRBYS SAND & GRAVEL appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records as a sand and gravel operation, 10.2 miles from Carey. If your truck carried aggregate between these sites, have the title in hand and a few clear photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate before you call us.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration shows an industrial-mineral mine near Upper Sandusky, 14.2 miles south-east, and Bloomville Quarry, a dimension-stone quarry 22 miles east. A truck parked at any of them stays put; we arrange the pickup around the place it already is.
Yards toward the north
Carey’s rail links: two yards and an intermodal ramp
Two rail yards sit north of Carey on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: C&O at 13.5 miles and WILSON at 14.4 miles. Day cabs that shuttle loads between those yards and the plants around Wyandot County are part of what we purchase.
At 24.6 miles north-west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Northwest Ohio ICTF at North Baltimore as a rail intermodal ramp. If your tractor has pulled containers off that ramp, send the VIN, the odometer reading and a photo of the registration so we can match the truck to its papers from the start.
Lumber, grain and freight on Carey’s carrier roll
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 16 active carriers in Carey, 7 of them interstate and 9 intrastate, with 3 operating as private fleets. A single-truck owner and a small company selling one unit out of several go through the same steps with us: title, registration, photos, and where the truck is parked.
Among those carriers, the federal census shows 11 hauling general freight, 5 hauling logs, poles, beams or lumber, 4 hauling farm supplies and 4 hauling grain, feed or hay. Log trucks, grain hoppers and van tractors all fit what we take, so tell us the body type and the trailer setup when you first get in touch.
Carey’s top three fleets on FMCSA’s register hold 152 power units, then 14, then 5. For the 8 carriers that reported mileage to that same census, the median is 14,358 miles a truck; have the latest odometer figure ready, since it is one of the first things we write down.
Factory and jobsite jobs
Plants, building crews and wholesale trade
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 2,839 jobs in the area, with manufacturing holding 1,018 of them, or 35.9 percent. Construction accounts for 743 jobs, 26.2 percent, on the same Census Bureau count, and both figures sit beside a town whose edge is quarry ground.
Wholesale trade adds 265 jobs, 9.3 percent, and mining and quarrying another 90, 3.2 percent, according to LEHD. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 16 construction establishments, and if your dump truck or flatbed comes off a contractor’s yard here, bring any service records you have alongside the title.
Grain and hog farms outside Carey
Wyandot County holds 672 farms led by soybeans, corn and hogs, by the count in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm tractors parked in a barn lot outside Carey can be collected from the farm itself, so give us the road name and any gate instructions.
Before we talk, check whose name is on the Ohio title, and if it is lost, request a duplicate from the state’s title agency so the paperwork is ready when the truck is.
The questions we get asked in Carey
- My dump truck is parked by the Carey quarries; does it have to come into town first?CAREY PLANT is 0.9 miles north-east of town and Stoneco, Inc. is 1.5 miles out, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from yards that close as easily as from your driveway. Leave the truck where it is and send us the address.
- Will you buy a grain truck off a farm near Carey?With 672 farms in Wyandot County on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, grain and livestock trucks are a regular part of what we buy around Carey. Have the title, the VIN and a few photos ready.
- My Ohio title went missing somewhere in the shop; what now?Carey owners request a duplicate Ohio title through the state’s title agency, and it helps to start that before you contact us. Tell us the title is on its way and we can talk through the rest of the truck meanwhile.
