American Sand & Gravel
Aggregate trucks from the American Sand & Gravel and Rohr pits
American Sand & Gravel’s Plant #4 lies 7.9 miles south-east of the village, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Rohr & Sons Nursery & Tree Farm, also a sand and gravel operation, 8.2 miles out in that same direction. Dump trucks and tri-axles that shuttle aggregate from pits like these are trucks we buy outright. If yours is parked at a pit gate or a contractor’s lot rather than at home, give us that address and we will collect it there.
A gravel truck usually carries a body as well as a chassis, so tell us the body make and length along with the VIN. Send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together so we see the whole unit at once.
Brittain and Hill yards, north-east of the village
Two rail yards named Brittain and Hill sit 13.4 and 13.5 miles north-east of Clinton on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that run drayage or yard work around rail sidings fit what we purchase, and a tractor based on the Akron side can stay right where it is for pickup.
Have the registration and the most recent service invoices together when you call. For a tractor that has worked rail freight, a list of the trailers it pulled, and whether it carries a wet kit, answers most of what we would otherwise need to ask.
Tank wagons
Tankers between the Akron and Canton fuel racks
According to the Energy Information Administration, a petroleum product terminal labelled Akron stands 13.9 miles north-east of Clinton, and another labelled Canton is 15.6 miles to the south-east. Fuel tankers, tank-wagon straight trucks and the tractors that pull petroleum trailers between those two points are all vehicles we take on.
With a tanker, keep its inspection and test certificates in the folder with the title, since they belong to the unit’s record. Note whether the tank stays with the truck or is sold separately, so the description you send matches what will be on the lot when we arrive.
End dumps on the coal run south to Tuscarawas
Twenty-three and a third miles due south, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records CCU Tuscarawas Strip as a coal preparation plant. End dumps and heavy tri-axles that haul coal off strip ground in that direction are part of the trucks we purchase from Summit County owners.
A coal hauler parked at a mine yard in Tuscarawas County is fine where it is. Send us the location, a gate contact if the site is locked, and clear photos of the frame rails and the dump body.
Clinton’s corn fields and cattle pasture
Around Clinton the land still farms: Summit County counted 413 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and cattle as the leading products. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm-plated tandems from those operations are trucks we buy.
Plenty of Clinton grain trucks spend the winter parked behind a barn off a field road. Tell us which building or gate it is behind, whether it carries farm plates, and whose name is on the title, and we can line up collection at the farm itself.
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues titles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and Clinton’s is the Summit County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 3333 Massillon Rd Ste 105, Green, 44312, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 9.2 miles from the village. If the title is lost, a replacement comes from that office.
For the trip to Green, carry your driver’s licence and the truck’s VIN written down. If a lender still shows on the title, have the lien release with you, because the replacement will print whatever the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles holds on record.
