South-west tank gates
Valvoline, Marathon and the riverside tank farms
The Energy Information Administration lists the Valvoline Cincinnati Plant as a petroleum product terminal 0.9 miles south-west of Delshire, with a second terminal, listed simply as Cincinnati, 1.1 miles out on the same bearing. A tanker or a lube delivery straight truck that loaded at either gate is the kind of equipment we buy here. Write down which plant the truck served and keep its tank inspection papers in the cab file; those are the first records we ask to see on a tank unit.
Marathon Petroleum’s liquid bulk terminal stands 1.2 miles south-west of town on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list. If your tractor pulled product trailers in and out of that yard, tell us whether the trailer goes with it or stays behind. Two units on one title set are handled differently from a lone tractor, and knowing early keeps the paperwork straight.
Growmark fertilizer
Growmark and the fertilizer run west of town
Growmark Fertilizer runs a liquid bulk terminal 2.6 miles west of Delshire, as recorded by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Nurse tank haulers and liquid fertilizer tankers working out of that site are welcome sellers. Photograph the tank, the valves and the data plate, and send the VIN alongside them so the unit can be matched to its registration.
Hamilton County holds 322 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and cattle at the head of the county’s list. A grain hopper, a cattle pot or a farm-plated straight truck that hauled those crops or that livestock can be sold from the farm lane where it sits. Give us the address and a phone number for whoever can open the gate on collection day.
Day cabs on the west-side rail ramps east of Delshire
East of town, 3.3 miles away, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Cincinnati Gest Street intermodal ramp, and Queensgate Yard’s ramp sits 3.8 miles off. Day cabs that dray containers between those ramps and nearby warehouses fit what we purchase. Note whether the tractor carries a chassis or works bobtail, and list any port or rail access credentials it was issued.
Two rail yards named in the North American Rail Network, which the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain, lie north-east of Delshire: Gest St Intermodal at 3.4 miles and Gest Street at 3.5 miles. A tractor parked near either yard does not need to be moved home first. Tell us the lot it stands in and who controls access, and we plan the pickup at that spot.
Delshire driveways
A small job base beside heavy freight sites
Census Bureau LEHD job counts for 2023 show 244 jobs located in Delshire itself. Many trucks kept here are therefore owner-operator rigs or service vehicles parked at a home driveway rather than in a company yard. If yours sits at a house, mention whether a tractor and trailer can turn around on the street outside.
For a single-truck owner, the papers are the whole sale: the title in your name, current registration and any service records you kept. Gather those before you reach out, and include clear photos of the cab, frame, tires and odometer so the description and the pictures agree.
Duplicate titles, liens and terminal records in Delshire
A missing Ohio title is replaced through the state’s title agency, and a duplicate should be in hand before collection. If a lender still appears on the title, have the lien release letter ready as well, since the transfer cannot finish without it.
Trucks that served the Valvoline, Marathon or Growmark terminals often carry extra site records: hazmat endorsements on file, tank test dates, gate passes. Keep copies of whatever you have and send them with the photos. If nothing survives, describe the routes the truck ran and we will ask the rest.
The questions we get asked in Delshire
- Can my tanker stay at its spot beside the Valvoline Cincinnati Plant until collection?That plant is listed by the Energy Information Administration 0.9 miles south-west of Delshire, and we collect from there or from wherever the tanker is parked. Pass along the plant-side address and whoever holds the key to that lot.
- Which details matter most for a day cab that drayed boxes off the Gest Street ramp?The Gest Street ramp sits 3.3 miles east of town according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and for a drayage tractor from there the VIN and odometer reading come first. Photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel follow.
- Will you take a grain truck or cattle hauler off a Hamilton County farm?Hamilton County counts 322 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by corn, soybeans and cattle, and grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm-plated straight trucks from those operations are all ones we buy.
- My Ohio title went missing while the rig sat parked in Delshire; how is it replaced?Ohio titles are reissued by the state’s title agency; request the duplicate there and have it in hand, with any lien release, before the truck is collected.
