Hogs, milk, corn
Grain, feed and the farms around Celina
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,292 farms in Mercer County, with hogs, milk and corn as the leading products. A tractor or straight truck that has hauled corn to an elevator or feed to a hog operation is often parked on the farm itself, so give us the farm address and tell us which lane or shed it is in.
Grain, feed and hay show up on 46 Celina carrier registrations and farm supplies on 32, out of 133 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census. If your hopper-bottom rig or feed truck is titled to the farm operation rather than to you personally, have the person named on the Ohio title available to sign, and keep the registration with the truck.
General freight, flatbeds and private fleets in Celina
General freight is the cargo listed most often here, carried by 73 of the town’s carriers according to FMCSA’s carrier census, while 30 report machinery and large objects. A lowboy tractor or a dry-van unit can both be collected from a home yard or a shop lot in town; send photos of the cab, the frame and the tires so we know the setup before we arrive.
The same federal census shows 82 Celina carriers authorized for interstate work, 49 running intrastate only, and 72 operating as private fleets that move their own goods. Owners who haul for their own business should have the USDOT number handy, since it lets us confirm which company the tractor is registered to.
FMCSA’s carrier census also lists the biggest local operation at 1,128 power units and 1,224 drivers, with the next two at 143 and 62 power units. Whether you have one truck or a block of units from a fleet like those, list each VIN, and we will work through them together.
Inspected trucks and yearly mileage in Celina
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA, covering 694 trucks checked between August 2024 and August 2026, put the median model year of Celina-based trucks at 2022, with 12.4 percent ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, the model year, engine and odometer reading are the first three things to send us.
Across 60 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, a Celina truck logs a median of 17,482 miles a year. Note your truck’s annual miles and any service records you keep in the cab or the office; with them in hand, the conversation about your truck starts on solid ground.
Driver counts in the federal carrier census show 536 local drivers staying within 100 miles of home and 1,246 working beyond that range. If your truck is out on a long run when you decide to sell, tell us where it will be parked when it returns to Mercer County.
Stone, fuel and bulk liquids east and north
Weber Materials, a crushed-stone quarry 9.6 miles east of Celina, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, as does Ridge Township Quarry and Mill, 21 miles to the north. A dump truck that hauls aggregate out of either site may be kept at the quarry lot; tell us who controls the gate so a pickup there can be arranged.
Toward Lima, the Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals, LIMA SOUTH at 24.8 miles and LIMA at 25 miles east. Tank tractors serving those racks can be collected wherever they are staged, and any hazmat or tank inspection paperwork you have should travel with the title.
AIP Logistics, a liquid bulk terminal 19.6 miles east, and Van Wert Terminal LLC, 21.5 miles north, are both on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list of facilities. If your tanker is parked at one of them rather than in Celina, give us the terminal name and a contact on site.
Celina plants, contractors and the yard at Ansonia
By the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, Celina’s factories hold 1,758 jobs, 28.2 percent of the 6,245 in town. Box trucks and tractors that shuttle parts between plants are often kept in a plant’s own lot, so check whether you need the plant’s permission for us to enter.
Due south of Celina, 24.3 miles down, sits the ANSONIA rail yard, mapped in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck that moves loads between Celina and that yard can be picked up at either end; just tell us which.
Construction employs 131 people in Celina under the same LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 40 construction establishments. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from those contractors are welcome; bring the title and the current registration to the handover.
The questions we get asked in Celina
- My grain truck is parked on our farm outside Celina. Must I haul it off the farm and into Celina myself?Mercer County has 1,292 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and trucks on many of them never leave the farm. Give us the farm address and we come to the truck there.
- Can you collect a dump truck from a quarry lot near Celina?Weber Materials sits 9.6 miles east of town in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and a truck staged at a quarry like that can be collected on site. Tell us who unlocks the gate.
- I have several trucks from a Celina fleet to sell. Will you take the whole group of trucks from one Mercer County yard?Fleets in Celina range up to 1,128 power units on FMCSA’s carrier census, so a list of several trucks is familiar to us. Send each VIN with photos and the titles, and we handle them as one sale.
- What do you want from a Celina seller up front?With a 2022 median model year across 694 Celina trucks in FMCSA roadside inspection records, the year alone tells us little, so send the VIN, odometer reading, photos and the Ohio title, plus any service records you keep.
