Sixty-five carriers, from flatbed timber to grain
If your tractor ran box or van freight out of town, the cab, the VIN plate and the odometer are the three photos to send first.
Machinery and large objects appear on 19 of those registrations and logs, poles, beams and lumber on 15, according to that same FMCSA carrier census. A lowboy tractor or a log truck parked at a job site or a woodlot can stay where it is; give us the road and the gate details so the pickup is planned around the ground.
Grain, feed and hay carriers number 11 in that federal census. A grain hauler that spends the off-season in a barn or a field lane is one we collect from the farm itself, so send directions along with the registration.
Rail and fuel to the north
Rail north at Minerva, fuel north-west at Canton
Minerva’s rail yard lies 9.4 miles north of Carrollton and the East End yard 20.2 miles north-west, both mapped on the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that shuttled loads to either one can be collected at your shop, your house or the yard lot, wherever it sits now.
Twenty miles to the north-west, the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Canton, 20.1 miles from town. For a fuel tractor that loaded there, keep the inspection and service records together with the title, since they tell us what the truck did between trips.
Pits, plants and mines
Gravel and coal sites west and south-west of town
Smith-Evergreen No 1 & No 2, a sand and gravel operation, sits 11.6 miles west of Carrollton in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, with Midvale Sand & Gravel 18.3 miles to the south-west. Dump trucks and tri-axles from those pits are welcome; photos of the bed, the frame and the cab help us see the whole truck before we come out.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists the Tusky Prep coal preparation plant 16.4 miles south-west, the Kimble #1 coal mine 20.5 miles west, and Shale Pit 002, an industrial-mineral mine, 13.1 miles north-east. If the truck is still parked on a mine property, tell us who controls the gate so collection can be arranged with the site.
Of the drivers on Carrollton carrier registrations, 208 stay inside a hundred-mile radius and 169 go beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Either way, we pick up from where the truck is parked, so a regional rig does not need to come home before the sale.
Interstate authority covers 29 carriers here and intrastate 36, while 31 run as private fleets moving their own goods, FMCSA’s census shows. A private-fleet truck often carries company registration, so have the title holder’s name and any lien release ready.
The median truck among 23 reporting carriers covers 20,000 miles a year in that census, and the three biggest local fleets run 54, 18 and 12 power units. Selling a few units off one Carrollton lot? Write down every VIN beside the spot where that truck stands.
What roadside inspections found in Carroll County trucks
Forty-one trucks from Carrollton carriers were stopped between October 2024 and August 2026, and their median model year in FMCSA roadside inspection records is 2011. Have the model year and engine details ready when you call.
Close to six in ten of those inspected Carrollton trucks, 58.5 percent by FMCSA roadside inspection records, carry a model year ten or more years back. Older units are part of what we buy, so send the registration and recent inspection paperwork whatever the year on the title.
Clerk’s office on South Lisbon
A lost title is half a mile from the square
Ohio titles are handled by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and Carrollton’s is the Carroll County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 119 S Lisbon St Suite 401, Carrollton, 44615, about 0.5 miles from town. If the title is missing, a replacement starts there; apply before you call us.
If a bank still shows on the title, bring the lien release to that Lisbon Street office along with the title so the record is clear. A title in a business name needs the signer listed for the company.
Factory floors, contractor yards and Carroll dairies
Manufacturing accounts for 5.4 percent of the work located in Carrollton and transportation and warehousing for 5.1 percent, out of 2,057 positions counted for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and straight trucks that served those plants and warehouses can be collected from a loading dock or a back lot.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 18 construction establishments, and construction holds 2.9 percent of local work in the LEHD figures. A dump or flatbed tied to a contractor’s yard can be photographed and listed right there.
Across Carroll County, 817 farms are counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, where corn, milk and cattle lead. A milk tanker, cattle hauler or grain truck kept on one of those farms is collected on the property.

- My dump truck sits at the Smith-Evergreen pit off toward the west; will you load it out from there?Smith-Evergreen sits 11.6 miles west of town per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and trucks parked at pits like it are collected on site once the gate holder agrees.
- Is a 2011-era tractor from Carrollton still something you collect?Carrollton trucks in FMCSA roadside inspection records have a median model year of 2011, and older model years are part of what we buy; send the title and registration with photos.
