Sell your semi truck for cash in Hiram the easy and convenient way

Oscar Brugmann Sand & Gravel sits 6.1 miles west of Hiram and Lakeside Sand & Gravel 7.1 miles west, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of operations. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either pit may well be parked at the pit or a yard near it when you sell, so give us that address rather than your home one and we will collect from there.

Further out on the same side, the Energy Information Administration lists the AURORA petroleum product terminal 10.5 miles west of the village. If your tractor has pulled fuel out of Aurora, tell us the trailer it ran with and whether that trailer goes with the sale, and send a photo of the plate on the door alongside the cab shots.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 16 active carriers based in Hiram, and 7 of them call themselves private fleets hauling their own goods. A farm, contractor or shop that runs a truck for its own work sells the same way a for-hire carrier does: title, registration and a few clear photos are what we start from.

Eleven of Hiram’s 16 carriers keep to Ohio work and five cross state lines, on the operation types recorded in FMCSA’s carrier census. An intrastate truck kept on Ohio roads still needs its Ohio title in the seller’s name, and an interstate unit should come with its cab card and any apportioned plate paperwork so we can close out the registration cleanly.

Driver records filed with FMCSA put 38 Hiram drivers inside a hundred-mile radius against 7 who run beyond it. For most sellers here that means the truck comes home to Hiram or a nearby yard at night, which is usually the easiest place for us to pick it up.

Seven Hiram carriers file general freight as their cargo with FMCSA’s carrier census, while five name machinery and large objects. A lowboy or step-deck tractor that has moved equipment should come with notes on its fifth wheel and any winch or ramps fitted, so the description you send matches the truck we see.

Two local carriers haul dry bulk commodities and one hauls farm supplies, according to the federal carrier census. If your truck pulls a hopper or pneumatic trailer, tell us whether the trailer is titled separately; each titled unit needs its own Ohio paperwork at hand-over.

In the same census, the biggest Hiram operation runs 19 power units with 15 drivers, the next 6 units with 12 drivers, and a third 4 units with 3 drivers. Whether you are selling one truck or several from a fleet like these, a list of VINs with each unit’s title status lets us work through them in order.

South-east of Hiram by 8.5 miles, NG Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck that works contracts on or around the installation may sit behind a gate when you decide to sell, so tell us early whether we need access arranged or whether you can bring it out to a public lot.

Lordstown’s two rail yards, LORDSTOWN CSX AUTOLOAD at 16.7 miles and LORDSTOWN at 17.3 miles south-east, appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Drivers who shuttle loads to those yards can send us the yard address if the tractor is staged there instead of in town.

For Hiram, titles go through the Portage County Clerk of Courts Title Office, one of the County Clerk of Courts title offices the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles uses, at 449 S. Meridian Street, Ravenna, 44266, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles office search puts 12.1 miles from the village. If the title for your truck is missing, request a duplicate there before we collect, and bring photo ID and the VIN.

Have the title, the current registration and any service records together in one folder before we arrive in Hiram, so the hand-over takes one visit and nothing has to be posted on afterwards.

Hiram had 335 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns lists 13 construction establishments. Contractors who keep a dump truck, a flatbed or a service body for site work can sell that unit to us with the same title and registration a carrier would use.

Across Portage County, 927 farms appear in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, soybeans and cattle the leading products. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked on a farm outside Hiram can stay where it is; send the farm’s address and a photo of the bed or box, and we arrange the pickup there.

Best Sand - Chardon, an industrial-mineral mine 16.4 miles north, and the TALLMADGE petroleum product terminal 21.3 miles south-west round out the sites named by the Mine Safety and Health Administration and the Energy Information Administration within reach of Hiram. Tell us which of them your truck served, and we will ask the right questions about it.

• If my Hiram truck’s title has gone missing, whose counter in Ravenna do I visit?Hiram’s nearest title office is the Portage County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 449 S. Meridian Street in Ravenna, about 12.1 miles away, which handles titles for the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
• Will you pick up a dump truck left at the Brugmann or Lakeside pit?Hiram’s nearest pits, Oscar Brugmann Sand & Gravel at 6.1 miles and Lakeside Sand & Gravel at 7.1 miles west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, are the kind of site we collect from; give us the address and who can let us in.
• Does a Hiram private fleet truck sell the same way as a for-hire one?Seven of Hiram’s 16 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census are private fleets, and their trucks sell to us with a clear Ohio title and current registration just as for-hire units do.
• Are corn, soybean and cattle trucks from Portage County farms on your list?Portage County’s 927 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture grow corn and soybeans and raise cattle, and grain and livestock trucks from those farms are trucks we purchase, collected from the farm itself.
