A pit three miles out and a quarry to the north-east
Neer’s Sand & Gravel LLC, a sand and gravel operation 3.4 miles east of De Graff, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records, and DUFF QUARRY #1, a crushed-stone quarry, sits 12.7 miles to the north-east. A dump truck or tri-axle that spends its days between those two sites is usually parked at a yard close to one of them, so give us that address rather than a home address in the village.
Further out, Urbana Materials runs a sand and gravel operation 16.3 miles south-east and Barrett Paving Materials Inc a crushed-stone quarry 17 miles west, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck hauled aggregate or asphalt base out of either, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, plus the VIN, and tell us which site it worked from.
Twenty miles east by rail
Car-loading track and a bulk tank stop west of it
Roughly twenty miles east of De Graff, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists two rail yards, HONDA AUTOLOAD at 19.7 miles and HONDA PLANT at 19.9 miles. Separately, FMCSA’s carrier census shows 6 carriers based here listing motor vehicles among their cargo. If your tractor or car hauler shuttled to those yards, tell us so and have the registration and title in the same folder.
AIP Logistics, a liquid bulk terminal 22.3 miles to the north-west on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list, is the other freight site in reach. A tanker tractor that loaded there can be collected wherever it is kept; write down the exact lot or farm lane so the pickup driver finds it the first time.
Nine of fifteen outfits never leave Ohio
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 15 active carriers in De Graff: 9 haul only within Ohio, 6 cross state lines, and 4 move their own goods. In that same census, general freight heads the cargo list at 10 carriers, with grain, feed and hay at 5 and farm supplies at 4. Whichever of those your truck carried, its USDOT number and the operating authority it ran under help us match the paperwork to the vehicle.
Fleets in the village are small: one runs 24 power units with 20 drivers, the next 6 units and the third 5, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. That census also records 3 carriers newly registered in 2025 and 2 in 2024. An owner-operator selling a single tractor and a fleet retiring several units both start the same way, with a list of VINs and where each one stands today.
Forty-six drivers kept inside the hundred-mile ring
Of the drivers tied to De Graff carriers, 46 work inside a hundred-mile radius and 21 range beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier census, and the 5 carriers that reported annual mileage show a median of 50,000 miles per truck.
Have the odometer reading, the last inspection sheet and any service log ready before you call. A day cab that ran grain to local elevators and a sleeper that crossed state lines get the same questions, and answering them in one message keeps the process short.
Elevators and dairies
Hopper tractors and milk tankers off Logan County farms
Around De Graff, Logan County carries 977 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and corn, soybeans and milk are the leading products there. Grain trucks, hopper trailers’ tractors and milk tankers all fit what we purchase, and a farm truck parked in a barn or machine shed is fine to collect from.
If the farm is held in a family or partnership name, the title must show who can sign; have that settled, along with the registration, before the truck leaves the shed.
Duplicate titles from the Bellefontaine clerk
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues titles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and for De Graff that is the Logan County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 1365 County Road 32 North Suite 4, Bellefontaine, 43311, 6.8 miles from the village. A seller whose title has gone missing can request a duplicate there before the truck is collected.
Village jobs stood at 259 in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns lists 8 construction establishments. Contractors among them selling a truck registered to a business should bring the title in the company’s name and a note of who can sign for it.
The questions we get asked in De Graff
- Do you collect trucks from gravel pits near De Graff?Neer’s Sand & Gravel LLC is 3.4 miles east of the village on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we come to the truck wherever it is parked, pit yard included. Text us the pit’s address together with the truck’s VIN so the collection gets planned around the site.
- My title went missing; which office near the village issues a duplicate?The Logan County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 1365 County Road 32 North Suite 4, Bellefontaine, 6.8 miles away, handles titles for the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
- Can I sell a grain truck that only runs at harvest?Logan County’s 977 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture grow corn and soybeans and produce milk, and seasonal grain trucks from that work are part of what we purchase. Keep the title alongside the harvest-season registration when you reach out.
- Will you take a whole group of tractors from one village outfit in a single deal?FMCSA’s carrier census shows De Graff fleets of 24, 6 and 5 power units, and a multi-truck sale starts with one list of VINs and where each truck is kept.
