Ninety-four carriers on a Cuyahoga County suburb

Of the 94 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Highland Heights, 64 list general freight, while 10 haul metal sheets, coils and rolls and 9 move machinery and large objects. If your tractor pulled flatbeds of coil or oversize machinery, tell us the trailer type it worked with and send a photo of the deck or fifth wheel alongside the cab shots.

The same FMCSA census counts 10 Highland Heights carriers moving passengers. A bus or passenger van sells through us the same way a tractor does: have the title in the registered owner’s name, the VIN, and a note of the seating layout ready before you call.

Split by operation, the census shows 45 interstate carriers, 49 intrastate carriers and 22 private fleets in the city. A private fleet truck titled to a manufacturer or wholesaler rather than a for-hire carrier is fine; just have someone with signing authority for the company on hand when the title is transferred.

A 2020 median from forty-eight roadside stops

Roadside checks logged by FMCSA between September 2024 and August 2026 caught 48 Highland Heights trucks, whose middle model year was 2020, with 14.6 percent dating back a decade or further. Whatever the year on your title, send the VIN first so the model and engine can be confirmed from it.

Across 23 carriers reporting mileage to the federal carrier census, the median is 27,000 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading at the time you photograph the dash, and include the photo, so the figure we work from is the one on the truck.

The single biggest operation registered in the city runs 92 power units and 102 drivers, per FMCSA, and the next two run 19 and 16 power units. If you are clearing several units out of a yard at once, list each VIN and where each truck is parked so the collections can be planned together.

Collinwood, the lakefront terminals and the trucks that serve them

The North American Rail Network puts the Collingwood rail yard 5 miles west of Highland Heights, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Collinwood Yard intermodal ramp at 5.4 miles. A day cab that has shuttled containers off that ramp can be collected at your yard or your house; give us the street address and say whether a gate code is needed.

About 3.7 miles west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Norfolk Southern TBT liquid bulk terminal, and further out it lists Cleveland Terminal at 11.8 miles. If your tractor pulled tank trailers between those sites, keep any terminal access or tank inspection paperwork with the title and hand it over with the truck.

Energy Information Administration listings name two petroleum product terminals near the lake, Cleveland - Asphalt at 11.7 miles west and Cleveland at 11.8 miles southwest. A truck still parked inside a terminal lot can stay there; tell us whose property it is on so we can arrange access with them before pickup.

Coil plants, wholesale docks and job sites

Highland Heights counted 6,494 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and 1,778 of them, 27.4 percent, sat in manufacturing. Wholesale trade held 807 more and transportation and warehousing another 592, again per LEHD. Box trucks and straight trucks from plant or distribution work are on the list of what we buy, so send the body length and liftgate details with your photos.

Construction holds 178 of those jobs under the LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 33 construction establishments. For a dump truck or a contractor’s flatbed, photograph the body and any hydraulic equipment, and tell us if a lender is still listed on the title.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 104 farms across Cuyahoga County, with tomatoes, cut flowers and equine operations among the top listings. A farm truck or horse hauler registered in the county is handled the same way as a commercial unit: title, registration and keys in one place.

Newer authorities and financed trucks

FMCSA records nine new carriers registering in Highland Heights in 2024 and another nine in 2025. If your operation is one of those newer authorities and the truck is still financed, have the lienholder’s name and payoff contact ready so the release can be lined up with the sale.

For a one-truck operation among the 94 carriers on FMCSA’s census for the city, gather the title, current registration, any service records you kept and a set of photos covering the cab, frame and tires. A lost title should be replaced through the state’s title agency before the truck is listed with us.
