Fairfax trucks and the title counter just up the road
A Fairfax dump truck that works Evans Gravel, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 4.6 miles east of town, needs its certificate of title in hand before we collect it. Ohio titles come from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles through its Clerk of Courts title offices, and the closest to Fairfax is the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 3370 Red Bank Road, Cincinnati, 45227, about half a mile from town by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles’ own listing.
If the certificate for your tractor or straight truck has gone missing, a duplicate from that counter is the step to take before pickup, along with any lienholder release, all in the name on the registration. Then send us photos of the cab, the frame and the VIN plate so the paperwork and the truck line up when we arrive in Fairfax.
Tankers loading east and west of Fairfax
Less than a mile east of Fairfax, at 0.9 miles, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Heniff Transportation as a liquid bulk terminal; Liquid Transfer Terminals, Inc. appears in the same federal listing 3.2 miles to the south-west. Tractors that pull tank trailers between those two sites are within reach of a short collection run. Tell us which terminal your tractor worked from and whether the trailer is part of the sale.
West of town, CINCINNATI NORTH shows up in Energy Information Administration records as a petroleum product terminal 4.9 miles away. A fuel tanker or a tractor that has loaded at that rack may be parked near the terminal rather than at home in Fairfax; give us the address where it actually sits, and keep any tank inspection certificates and service records together for us to see.
Drayage between Fairfax’s two nearby yards
Two rail yards bracket the town in the North American Rail Network, which the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain: CLARE at 0.9 miles east and LINWOOD at 2.4 miles south-west. Drayage tractors and yard trucks that shuttle between those yards are the kind we collect from a Fairfax driveway or a nearby lot, so note which yard yours served when you write to us.
Further west, Queensgate Yard is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a rail intermodal ramp 7.7 miles away, with the Cincinnati river port at 5.8 miles in that same federal listing. A day cab that hauls containers off Queensgate or loads from the river port can be photographed wherever it is parked between runs; send the VIN and odometer reading first, and the registration after.
Construction holds over a quarter of local work
Construction accounts for 27.4 percent of the jobs counted in and around Fairfax for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, ahead of manufacturing at 11.8 percent and wholesale trade at 6.7 percent. Dump trucks, flatbeds and mixer chassis tied to building crews are a natural fit for that mix, and an owner winding down a contracting operation can sell one unit or several together.
Evans Gravel, a sand and gravel operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, sits 4.6 miles east of town. A tri-axle or end-dump that has hauled aggregate from that pit can be collected at the yard or at the owner’s lot; have the title, current registration and any scale tickets or service logs ready, since they show what the truck carried.
Open routes out
Every Fairfax span open to full loads
Within the local area the National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration records seven bridges, and not one of them carries a posted load limit or a clearance below fourteen feet. A loaded tanker or a tall sleeper leaving Fairfax for collection does not have to be routed around a restricted span on those crossings.
That leaves where the truck is parked as the main thing to tell us. Give the street address, say whether a lowboy or a tow rig can reach it, and mention any gate code or yard hours, and the pickup is planned around those details.
Barn lots nearby
Grain and cattle haulers across Hamilton County
Around Fairfax and the rest of Hamilton County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 322 farms, with corn, soybeans and cattle as the leading products. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm-plated tractors from those operations are part of what we purchase, whether the truck sits in a barn lot or at a field edge.
A Fairfax grain truck on farm plates is collected against an Ohio title that carries the seller’s own name. If the certificate is with a lender or was never transferred after a family handover, the Clerk of Courts title office on Red Bank Road is where that gets settled before we collect.
The questions we get asked in Fairfax
- My Fairfax truck’s title has gone missing - which office replaces it?Fairfax owners are about half a mile from the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 3370 Red Bank Road, Cincinnati, 45227, one of the County Clerk of Courts title offices that handle titles for the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. A duplicate issued there is what we need at pickup.
- Will you collect a tanker parked at a terminal outside town?Heniff Transportation at 0.9 miles east and Liquid Transfer Terminals, Inc. at 3.2 miles south-west, both in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, are the kind of sites we collect from. Give us the address where the tractor or trailer sits and we plan the pickup there.
- Will you take a dump truck off a Fairfax building crew?Construction makes up 27.4 percent of local jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, and Evans Gravel is 4.6 miles east. Dump trucks and flatbeds from that work are trucks we purchase; send photos, the VIN and the title.
- Are there low bridges that could block a pickup?Fairfax’s seven bridges in the National Bridge Inventory show no posted load limit and nothing under fourteen feet of clearance. Tell us about gates or tight driveways at the truck’s location instead.
