Chesterville and east
Sand and gravel pits on two sides of Centerburg
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists United Aggregates, Inc., a sand and gravel operation 11.8 miles east of Centerburg, and the Chesterville Sand & Gravel Plant 12.2 miles to the north. Dump trucks and tri-axles that cycle between pits like these often sit in a gravel yard between shifts; give us the yard’s address and a phone number for whoever opens the gate, and we collect the truck there.
Farther out, the Columbus Region Plant, a crushed-stone quarry, lies 22.7 miles west of town, and Select Materials-Millwood Operation, an industrial-mineral mine, sits 23.8 miles east, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. For a truck on a quarry route, send a few photos of the bed, the frame and the cab, plus the VIN, ahead of the pickup.
Heath, Newark, Columbus
Fuel terminals and Newark’s rail yards to the southeast
Two petroleum product terminals show up within a half-hour’s drive in Energy Information Administration records: the Columbus terminal 20.8 miles south-west and the Heath terminal 22.8 miles south-east. A tractor that pulled fuel from either one can stay parked wherever it ended its last run; tell us the lot, and keep any terminal or inspection paperwork with the title.
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Newark West yard is 23.2 miles south-east of Centerburg and the Newark yard 23.9 miles out on the same heading. Day cabs that shuttle freight off those yards can be picked up near Newark itself, so a seller living in Centerburg never has to bring the truck home first.
Centerburg filings
General freight, bulk and machinery out of Centerburg
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 31 active carriers based in Centerburg, of which 22 run intrastate, 9 cross state lines and 7 operate as private fleets. A truck that never left Ohio still needs its title and registration in the owner’s name before collection, and both should match the VIN on the door jamb.
General freight is the most common cargo on those filings, listed by 15 of the town’s carriers in the federal census, with dry bulk commodities and large machinery at 7 each and grain, feed and hay at 6. That mix covers box trucks and flatbeds, lowboys and hoppers alike; tell us the body type and the trailer it pulled, if any, when you first get in touch.
Of the drivers on Centerburg filings, 81 work within a 100-mile radius and 18 beyond it, according to the FMCSA census, and among nine carriers that reported mileage the median was 41,322 miles per truck. Local work means the truck is usually close to home when it is sold, often in a barn, a shop or a driveway in town.
Centerburg owners retiring a handful of tractors
The biggest operation registered in Centerburg runs 17 power units with 10 drivers, by FMCSA’s count, followed by fleets of 12 units with 9 drivers and 8 units with 9 drivers. An owner retiring several trucks at once can send one list of VINs and parking locations, and we work through the set together.
New registrations keep arriving, too: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 4 carriers registered in Centerburg in 2025 and 2 in 2024. A newer operator who bought a used tractor should check that the title was transferred into the company’s name; the name printed on it is the one that signs it over to us.
Grain trucks and livestock haulers parked on Centerburg farms
Around Centerburg, Knox County holds 1,303 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with hogs, corn and soybeans leading the list. Grain trucks and livestock haulers off those farms are often parked at the farm itself, so give us the farm address and a note on where in the yard the truck sits.
Seasonal trucks sometimes carry farm plates rather than standard commercial registration; whichever plate is on yours, keep the current registration card with the title, and we handle the rest from there.
Knox clerk on Mt. Vernon’s north side
Ohio titles come from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and for Centerburg the nearest is the Knox County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 671 North Sandusky Street, Mt. Vernon, 43050, about 12.9 miles from town by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles’ office search. A seller with a missing title applies for a duplicate there before the truck changes hands.
Construction work fills out the local picture: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 26 construction establishments in the area, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 447 jobs in Centerburg for 2023. Contractors’ dump trucks and service bodies titled to a business need the signature of someone authorised to sign for that business on the Ohio title.
