The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists CAREY PLANT, a crushed-stone quarry 12.8 miles north-east of Forest, and Stoneco, Inc., another crushed-stone quarry 13.4 miles out on the same heading. A dump truck or tractor that has hauled aggregate from either one may still be parked near the pit when you decide to sell. Give us the site name and who can let us through the gate, and we arrange the collection there.
Further east, KIRBYS SAND & GRAVEL appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records 17.3 miles from town, and an industrial-mineral mine at Upper Sandusky sits 16.2 miles away. If your truck has spent its seasons on those roads, take photos of the body, the frame and the hoist along with the cab, and note which operations it served.
Two rail yards bracket Forest on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: HARPSTER, 14.8 miles east, and FINDLEY, 17.7 miles north-west. A tractor that shuttles to a siding at either yard can stay on its usual lot while we handle the sale.
For a truck that has worked the rail transfer runs, have the VIN, the odometer reading and the registration in hand before you call. Those three details let us match the tractor to its title at the start, wherever around Harpster or Findley it happens to be sitting.
Fourteen carriers, most of them a few trucks deep
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 14 active carriers based in town, with the top three fleets at four, three and three power units. Eight of those operators stay intrastate, six cross state lines, and six are private fleets hauling their own goods. A single tractor or a four-truck outfit is sold the same way, with a title for each unit.
General freight is listed by 12 of the local carriers, grain, feed and hay by 8, and dry bulk and farm supplies by 4 apiece, per the same FMCSA census. A hopper-bottom trailer rig or a straight truck that moved feed between farms fits what we take, so tell us which loads it pulled and how the trailer is set up.
New registrations in town are few: FMCSA’s carrier census shows two new carriers added in 2025 and one in 2024. If you started an operation recently and are winding it down, your registration papers and the title are the two documents that matter most.
Local drivers and long-haul drivers side by side
Across eight Forest carriers that report mileage, FMCSA’s carrier census puts the median at 22,574 miles a truck each year. That is a neutral figure, and we only ask for the odometer reading so the listing on the title and the truck agree.
Thirteen drivers here operate inside a hundred air-miles of home, while nineteen go past that line, according to FMCSA’s census. A sleeper that is out on a long run when you decide to sell can be collected once it is back in Hardin County, or at the yard where it ends the trip; tell us which.
Clerk of Courts title office in Kenton
For Forest that is the Hardin County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 1021 W Lima St Suite 102, Kenton, 43326, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 12 miles from town.
If the title is lost, or the name on it is not yours, sort it out at that Kenton office first. Bring the registration and photo identification, and ask for a duplicate in the owner’s name so the sale can be signed cleanly.
Plant work and fields
Factory shifts and the farms around town
A box truck or tractor that runs parts or finished goods for a plant is the kind of unit we collect, from a shipping dock or a home driveway.
Hardin County carries 715 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and hogs leading the list. Grain trucks and livestock rigs that sit between harvests can be photographed where they are stored; send pictures of each side and the plate.
A dump truck or flatbed that came off a building job here can be sold with the same paperwork as any other: title, registration and any service records you kept.
