The Lordstown yards below Champion Heights
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Lordstown CSX Autoload yard 8.9 miles south of Champion Heights and a second Lordstown yard 9.4 miles south. A tractor that has shuttled loads in and out of those Lordstown gates can stay parked wherever you keep it; tell us the street address and we plan the collection around it.
Before we talk, photograph the cab, the frame rails and the fifth wheel of any day cab that has worked the Lordstown yards, and note the VIN from the door jamb. Those pictures, together with the registration card, let us ask the right questions about a yard tractor from the first call.
Tanker loads from the Warren and Youngstown racks
Energy Information Administration listings show a petroleum product terminal at Warren, 9.4 miles south-east, and another at Youngstown, 16.9 miles south-east along the same line. Tankers and straight trucks that load at either rack are part of what we buy from Trumbull County owners.
If your tanker carried product from the Warren or Youngstown rack, gather the hazmat placard records, tank test certificates and service logs you still hold. Having that file with the Ohio title lets the tanker’s working history travel with it, and a missing piece is something we can sort out together.
Western aggregate
Sand and gravel pits past the county line
According to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, Oscar Brugmann Sand & Gravel Inc operates 20.6 miles west of town and Arms Sand & Gravel works 20.8 miles to the north-west. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that run aggregate from pits like these are welcome on our list.
A dump truck that spends weekdays at one of those western pits may be easier to reach there than in your driveway. Tell us which site it sits at, who holds the gate key and when the loader crew is around, and the collection is planned around that schedule.
Grain and dairy hauling off Trumbull County farms
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 945 farms in Trumbull County, with corn, soybeans and milk heading the list of what they sell. Grain trucks, bulk milk haulers and the tractors that pull hopper trailers off those farms are trucks we purchase.
Farm trucks often sit in a barn or behind a silo between harvests, so give us the farm road and the gate it is behind. If the title went missing in a farmhouse drawer, Ohio’s state title agency issues a replacement, and it helps to start that request before the sale.
Flatbeds serving the bases east and south-west of town
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics maps the Youngstown military installation 9.6 miles east and NG Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center 14.2 miles south-west. Box trucks and flatbeds that have supplied contractors at either site can be sold from wherever they are now parked.
Contract work near Camp Ravenna sometimes leaves a flatbed parked off-site under someone else’s care. Give us that person’s name and number along with the VIN, and keep the registration and any annual inspection sheets with the truck.
Vans and box trucks for the Champion Heights workforce
Champion Heights held 1,703 jobs in 2023, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Service vans, box trucks and pickups with commercial plates that support that local workforce belong here as much as any highway tractor does.
Whatever the truck did around Champion Heights, the paperwork list stays short: the Ohio title in your name, the registration, any maintenance records, and clear photos of each side. With those in hand, the conversation is about your truck alone.
