Pits east and south-east of Chesterland
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Best Sand - Chardon, an industrial-mineral mine, 8.5 miles east of Chesterland. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs loads out of the Chardon pit can be collected at the yard where it parks between shifts, so tell us that address and who holds the gate key.
Arms Sand & Gravel, 9.7 miles to the south-east, appears in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration listing as a sand and gravel operation. If your truck splits its days between the two pits, write down which one it reports to, and send photos of the body, the hoist and the tag axle with the cab so we see the whole rig.
Dry bulk shows up on three Chesterland carrier filings in FMCSA’s carrier census. Owners of aggregate haulers should have the Ohio title in hand, plus the registration card, before we schedule anything.
From Chesterland west to Collinwood and Maple Heights
Eleven miles west, the North American Rail Network maps the COLLINGWOOD rail yard, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the Cleveland, OH - Collinwood Yard intermodal ramp at 11.4 miles in the same direction. A day cab that shuttles boxes off that ramp may be parked on the Cleveland side when you sell it; give us the lot and a phone number for whoever runs it.
MAPLE HEIGHTS INTERMODAL lies 13.6 miles south-west, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. For a tractor that has worked both Collinwood and Maple Heights, the VIN and the odometer reading are the first two things to send us.
Tank work from Aurora to the lakefront
Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, sits 9.6 miles west of town in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. Tank tractors loading there tend to carry terminal paperwork; keep loading logs and any inspection reports with the truck so its route history travels with it.
South toward Aurora, 14.8 miles out, the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal. If your fuel tractor or tank straight truck is based near Aurora rather than in Chesterland, leave it there and send us the location instead of driving it north.
Of Chesterland’s 34 active carriers, 19 stay inside Ohio and 15 cross state lines, while 7 haul their own goods as private fleets, in FMCSA’s carrier census. Whichever group you belong to, have your USDOT number ready alongside the registration card.
General freight is the cargo listed by 24 of those carriers, machinery and large objects by 4, and farm supplies by 3, per the same federal census. A flatbed or lowboy tractor used for equipment moves should come with photos of the deck and the hitch alongside the cab.
Per FMCSA’s carrier census, one Chesterland outfit runs 75 power units, another 13, and a third 5. Selling several units at once is simple at any of those sizes: send one list with each VIN and where each truck is parked.
New registrations in Chesterland numbered 4 in 2024 and 3 in 2025, according to FMCSA. If your authority is recent and the truck is titled to your business, bring the business title and the registration in the company’s name.
Inspectors stopped 35 Chesterland-based trucks from December 2024 to August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give them a 2021 median model year. Keep your most recent inspection report in the cab; it confirms the unit number and VIN in one sheet.
Of those 35 Geauga County trucks, 8.6 percent carried a model year ten or more years back, by the same FMCSA inspection records. Whatever the year on your title, send the service records you have, since they answer most of our questions before we ask.
Eleven Chesterland carriers report mileage to FMCSA, and the median among them works out to 10,000 miles per truck. Read the odometer and photograph it when you send the other pictures.
Site work in Chesterland and dairy farms across Geauga
Of the 2,267 jobs in Chesterland in 2023, construction held 278, or 12.3 percent, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with wholesale trade at 86 and manufacturing at 74. Dump trucks, roll-offs and equipment haulers from site work can be picked up at the jobsite or the contractor’s shop.
If your truck belongs to one of those firms, the company officer who signs the title should be the one to contact us.
Geauga County had 1,133 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, equine and soybeans as the top products. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked on a farm lane is fine where it stands; tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a tow rig to reach it.
