West-side fuel racks
Two Columbus fuel terminals close to Huber Ridge
The Energy Information Administration places the COLUMBUS petroleum product terminal 4.4 miles west of Huber Ridge, close enough that a tank truck parked at home here may have loaded there that morning. If yours hauled from that rack, tell us the trailer type and whether the tractor is coupled when we come for it.
A second rack, COLUMBUS EAST, appears in Energy Information Administration listings 12.8 miles to the south-west. Fuel haulers who split runs between the two sites around Huber Ridge should gather the tractor’s title and current Ohio registration before calling, along with any hazmat inspection paperwork kept in the cab.
Bases and depots
Depot deliveries south and west of Huber Ridge
Bureau of Transportation Statistics records put Defense Supply Center Columbus 7.8 miles south of Huber Ridge. Box trucks and tractors that made deliveries to the depot gates are welcome here; send photographs of the cab, the frame rails and the load area when you first write.
Just 7.9 miles to the west, the NG Beightler Armory is the second military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists for this corner of Franklin County. Should your truck be parked near either site rather than in your driveway, give us that address so the collection goes to where the vehicle actually sits.
Rail yards below town
Drayage and tank work off the Columbus rail lines
South of Huber Ridge by 11.5 miles, the BANNON rail yard is mapped on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tractors that shuttled freight to that yard can be sold from wherever they are parked; just give us the VIN and odometer reading when you first get in touch.
Container drayage runs to the Columbus, OH - Buckeye Yard intermodal ramp, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics locates 12.7 miles south-west of town. A day cab that pulled chassis off that ramp should come with its title in your name, or with a note telling us who holds the lien.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics also lists Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, 11.1 miles to the south. Owners of tankers that moved product out of the TBT site can send us cleaning or wash-out records if they kept them; they are useful but never required.
Marble Cliff loads
Marble Cliff Quarry and dump trucks south-west of town
Marble Cliff Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, lies 11.5 miles south-west of Huber Ridge according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump tractors that hauled aggregate from it are the kind of truck we purchase across Franklin County.
With a quarry dump, list the body make and length along with the chassis, and photograph the hoist and the tailgate with the bed raised. That way the description we get from Huber Ridge matches the truck we load.
Huber Ridge builders and Franklin County soybean fields
Of the 568 jobs placed in Huber Ridge for 2023, construction held 63, a share of 11.1 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Contractors here who are retiring a dump, a flatbed or a service body truck can reach us with the title and service records in hand.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 372 farms in Franklin County, with soybeans, corn and potted flowering plants leading the list. Grain trucks and straight trucks from those operations still need a clear Ohio title; if it has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues the replacement before a sale can close.
