Cement, sand and gravel around Fairborn
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Fairborn Cement Plant 2.7 miles south-east of the city. If your mixer, dump or bulk tractor has spent its shifts hauling from that plant, tell us which plant gate it used and where it parks between loads now, so the pickup crew knows which side of town to head for.
Two sand and gravel operations show up in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings near Fairborn: Barrett Paving Materials Inc, 4 miles north, and Xenia Sand & Gravel, 6.7 miles south. A tri-axle or end-dump tractor kept at one of those yards can be collected right where it sits; send us the yard name, a contact who can let us in, and photos of the cab, frame and tires.
Keep the title and current Ohio registration together with any scale tickets or service invoices from the quarry runs. With those papers in hand, we can check the VIN and the truck’s working history ahead of the trip out to Greene County.
Trucks that work Wright-Patterson
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base lies 2.6 miles north-west of Fairborn, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A box truck or tractor that runs deliveries onto the base is usually parked off-base at a yard or a driveway in town, and that is the address we need when you reach out.
If the truck is stored behind a gate that needs a pass, say so at the start and name someone who can escort the collection. Have the title, the registration card and both sets of keys in one place, and we can arrange the handover around whoever holds access.
Dayton terminals and rail yards to the west
Two petroleum product terminals listed under the name Dayton by the Energy Information Administration sit 8 and 8.1 miles west of Fairborn. Tank-wagon and fuel tractors that load at those racks belong on the list of what we buy; tell us the trailer type it pulled and send the VIN with a photo of the door sticker.
Farther along the same western line, the North American Rail Network shows the Dayton rail yard at 8.7 miles and the Needmore yard at 8.9 miles. A day cab that shuttles freight to either yard can be picked up near the rail lot or from your home driveway in Fairborn, whichever is simpler for you.
Fairborn’s own carriers, from car haulers to beverage routes
Of the 61 carriers active in Fairborn under FMCSA’s carrier census, 45 put general freight on their cargo list. Nine haul motor vehicles, eight carry machinery and large objects, and seven move beverages, so car haulers, lowboys and beverage bodies all come up for sale here alongside dry vans.
Of those 61 carriers, the FMCSA census records 29 as interstate, 32 as intrastate and 18 as private fleets. FMCSA’s register also shows 109 drivers working within 100 miles and 114 going farther; a truck being sold may well be on the road in another state, so tell us where it will be parked on the day you want it gone.
New registrations kept arriving too: FMCSA’s carrier census logs nine new Fairborn carriers in 2024 and seven in 2025. The three biggest local operations run 42, 19 and 18 power units, per that census, and an owner retiring several units at once can list them all in a single request with each VIN.
Fleet ages, mileage and local bridges
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covering 51 trucks inspected between September 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2024, and 19.6 percent of those trucks were ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, send the model year, the engine and the odometer reading with the first message.
A median of 32,573 miles per truck a year is what 18 Fairborn carriers report to FMCSA. Have your own odometer photo ready, since it is one of the first things we ask for.
The National Bridge Inventory lists 28 bridges in and around Fairborn, with none load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. A tall reefer or a loaded lowboy can be driven or towed out of town without a detour around a restricted span.
Base jobs, factory shifts and Greene County corn
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 11,766 jobs in Fairborn, with manufacturing holding 1,103 of them. In the same LEHD figures, transportation and warehousing account for 407, construction 315 and wholesale trade 244; straight trucks and flatbeds that serve shops and job sites are trucks we buy here.
Fairborn’s area holds 27 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your dump truck or flatbed belonged to one of those contractors, keep the company’s title transfer paperwork handy so ownership is clear when we collect.
Out past the city line, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 897 farms in Greene County, growing mostly corn and soybeans and raising hogs. Grain trucks and livestock haulers kept in a barn or field lot can be loaded there; give us the road name and a gate code if there is one.
The questions we get asked in Fairborn

Most sellers move the truck to an off-base address first; if it has to stay inside, name an escort who holds a pass.
