Rail
The FINDLEY yard and the North Baltimore ramp
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the FINDLEY rail yard 1.9 miles south-west of the city. If your day cab shuttles trailers to and from that yard, tell us where it sits between loads and who holds the key.
Up the line, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Northwest Ohio ICTF at North Baltimore, a rail intermodal ramp 10.8 miles north-west, and the rail network shows the NORTHWEST OHIO TERMINAL yard beside it at 10.9 miles. A truck parked at either site can stay there; send the gate address, a contact on site, the VIN and the odometer reading, and say whether a chassis goes with the tractor.
Stone
Quarry work at the Findlay and Carey plants
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Findlay Plant, a crushed-stone quarry, 3.8 miles south-west of town. If your dump truck or tri-axle runs stone out of that pit, photograph the bed, hoist and tires as well as the cab.
The CAREY PLANT crushed-stone quarry sits 15 miles east of Findlay, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A quarry truck is often parked at the site rather than at home; tell us which plant it is at and whether a gate pass is needed to reach it.
Carriers
General freight, lumber and machinery carriers
According to FMCSA’s carrier census, 211 motor carriers based in Findlay are active, and 144 of them list general freight. Box trucks, dry vans and the tractors that pull them all qualify; have the title and current registration in hand before you call.
Machinery and large objects appear for 45 of those carriers in the same federal census, motor vehicles for 28, and logs, poles, beams and lumber for 24. For a lowboy tractor, a car hauler or a log truck, list the trailer or body it came with and whether that part is in the sale.
Of those 211 operations, FMCSA counts 113 as interstate, 92 as intrastate and 75 as private fleets hauling their own goods. If your truck belongs to a private fleet, check that the person signing the title is someone the business authorises.
Fleet sizes and the miles they log
The three largest Findlay fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census run 805, 231 and 160 power units. Selling several trucks at once is something we handle; send a list with each VIN, its model year and where it is parked.
That same carrier census shows 822 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 2,109 going beyond it, with a median of 22,492 miles per truck across 76 reporting carriers. A truck may be at a terminal far from Findlay when you decide to sell; tell us its location and we collect it there.
Fleet age
What the roadside inspections show
Between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 609 trucks from Findlay carriers, with a median model year of 2023. Include the model year and engine with your first photos.
In those same roadside inspection records, 12.15 percent of the trucks inspected were ten or more model years old. We buy trucks of every model year; bring whatever service records you have along with the title.
Work
Factories, farms and the bridges between them
Of 30,256 jobs located in Findlay in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 5,172 in manufacturing, 1,707 in transportation and warehousing and 1,529 in wholesale trade. Tell us which kind of freight your straight truck or tractor carried between plants and distribution floors.
Hancock County contractors account for 79 construction establishments, beside 15 warehousing ones, in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. For a dump truck, flatbed or stake-bed from a contractor’s yard, name the yard and its hours so a driver can get in.
Hancock County has 995 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by soybeans, corn and hogs. A grain truck or livestock hauler can be collected from the farmyard, and the National Bridge Inventory lists 42 bridges in Findlay with none load-posted and none under 14 feet.
