Selling a truck in Groveport? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Day cabs between the Watkins Road yard and the south-west intermodal ramp

Watkins Road sits 4.4 miles north-west of Groveport and Parsons another mile beyond it at 5.5 miles, both rail yards mapped in the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that shuttles between those two yards is often parked near one of them on any given evening, so give us the yard or street address where it sits and we will arrange collection there.

South-west of town, at 5.6 miles, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Columbus, OH rail intermodal ramp. If your tractor has pulled containers off that ramp, send the VIN, the current odometer reading and clear photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel before anything else; those let us ask the right follow-up questions about that particular unit.

Tanker tractors on the north-west transload run

Transflo CSXT, a liquid bulk terminal 4.7 miles north-west of Groveport, appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics facility list next to Norfolk Southern TBT, another liquid bulk terminal 5.9 miles away on the same bearing. Tractors that hauled tank trailers to and from rail transload sites like these can carry site safety checks and inspection reports, and those papers belong in the folder alongside the title.

If the truck is still on a terminal lot, tell us who controls the gate and who can meet our driver. Pickup at a secured transload yard goes smoothly when the terminal contact knows the date and the paperwork matches the unit being released.

General freight, movers and reefer haulers on the local register

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 132 active carriers based in Groveport, with 95 of them listing general freight among the loads they move. In that same FMCSA census, household goods appears on 18 registrations, and refrigerated food and meat each show up on 16. A reefer tractor, a box truck from a moving outfit and a dry-van sleeper all fit what we purchase, so tell us which kind of work yours did.

Of those registrations in the federal carrier census, 71 operate interstate, 60 stay intrastate and 23 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Ohio’s title agency handles a missing title, and replacing it before we schedule a pickup keeps the sale on one visit to wherever the truck is parked.

New entries keep arriving in the FMCSA registry: 18 carriers here registered in 2025, against 9 in 2024. If you started up recently and are now selling a tractor, have the registration card and your USDOT number to hand so we can confirm the unit belongs to you.

Model years logged at Groveport roadside stops

Across 1,166 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2022, with 10.8 percent of those units ten or more years old. Whatever year your truck is, the VIN plate photo and the registration tell us the exact specification without guesswork.

The median annual mileage reported per truck, among 37 Groveport carriers filing it with FMCSA, is 37,800 miles. Note the odometer when you first get in touch and photograph the dash so the figure we work from is the one on the truck itself.

Drivers working for carriers here split by radius in the federal carrier census: 653 stay within 100 miles and 1,946 travel beyond it. A long-haul sleeper may be parked out of state when you decide to sell, so tell us its location and we will plan around where it actually is.

Owner-operators to four-figure fleets

One carrier based in Groveport runs 1,729 power units with 1,917 drivers, according to FMCSA’s census, while another lists 132 power units and a third lists 33 trucks with 117 drivers. Whether you are selling one tractor or a block of them, a list of VINs with the plate state for each unit lets us review the whole group at once.

For a multi-truck sale, keep the titles for every unit together and note any lienholder on each. If a title was issued in another state, say so up front; the state that issued it is the agency that handles any correction.

Warehousing, wholesale and the Columbus Plant quarry

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 14,164 jobs in Groveport, with 3,205 of them in transportation and warehousing, 1,333 in wholesale trade and 1,325 in manufacturing. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 32 warehousing establishments and 34 construction establishments. Straight trucks, yard tractors and day cabs from those operations are all ones we want to hear about.

West of town by 6.1 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Columbus Plant crushed-stone quarry. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauled stone from that site can be collected at the quarry yard or your shop; send photos of the body and the chassis plate with your enquiry.

Farther out across Franklin County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 372 farms, with soybeans, corn and potted flowering plants leading the crop list. A grain truck or a box truck from a nursery operation fits what we take, and the farm address is a fine place for us to meet it.
