Sand and gravel on the Hudson-Aurora side
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two pits near Hudson: Hugo Sand Company Incorporated at 6.3 miles south-east, and at 7.9 miles east, Beck Sand & Gravel, Inc. A tri-axle or tandem that hauls out of either pit is often parked at the yard between loads, so tell us which gate it sits behind and who can let us in.
Summit County employers counted 876 construction jobs in Hudson in 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau puts 44 construction establishments in the area. If your dump body, plow mount or tailgate hardware came on later, write down what was fitted and when, and send that list with your photos.
Terminals at Aurora, Brecksville and beyond
Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration listings near town: AURORA, 7.2 miles north-east, and BRECKSVILLE, 10 miles west. A tank tractor that loads at either one should come with its hazmat registration and the most recent tank test paperwork, so both can be checked against the VIN before pickup.
Further out, Transflo CSXT is a liquid bulk terminal 20.4 miles north-west of Hudson in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. Sellers who have moved on from bulk work can leave the tractor parked near the transload; give us the address and a gate contact, and we arrange the collection there.
MOTOR and HILL yards on the rail map
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the MOTOR yard lies 8.4 miles north-west and the HILL yard 10.5 miles south. Drayage and day cabs that shuttle between those yards and local docks qualify, and a cab-and-chassis photo set plus the odometer reading is the place to start.
Name the yard or dock where the truck was last dropped. If it sits inside a fenced rail property, we need the name of the person who signs vehicles out.
Fifty-five carriers registered at Hudson addresses
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 55 active carriers based in Hudson: 30 operate interstate, 25 stay in-state, and 24 run private fleets. By cargo class in that same FMCSA census, 34 carriers haul general freight, 7 haul machinery and large objects, and 6 each carry household goods and motor vehicles.
Among the three biggest local fleets in that census, the top one lists 86 power units and 186 drivers, the next 60 units and 62 drivers, and the third 17 units and 27 drivers. Whether you are clearing one tractor or a block of units from a fleet that size, send a unit list with VINs and where each one is parked.
Of the drivers those Hudson carriers report to FMCSA, 369 stay within 100 miles and 153 go beyond it. A sleeper that ran long routes may be parked out of state right now, which is fine; tell us the city and we collect it there.
Inspected Hudson units, 2024 to 2026
Between September 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 86 Hudson-registered trucks, and in those FMCSA roadside inspection records the middle model year is 2022 while 8.1 percent date back ten years or more. Every model year is welcome; have the registration and title in hand for whichever year yours is.
Note the current odometer reading when you first write to us, alongside the engine make and transmission type.
Low bridge under the Turnpike
The National Bridge Inventory counts 28 bridges around Hudson, none load-posted and one under 14 feet: structure 7729898, where the I-80 Ohio Turnpike crosses Hudson-Aurora Road at 13ft 8in. If your truck is parked on that road with a tall box or a raised dump body, mention it, and the pickup route goes around that underpass.
If the Ohio title for a Hudson truck has gone missing, the duplicate comes from a county clerk of courts title office, and for a Hudson address that is the Summit County office. Ask for the duplicate before the pickup is booked.
Farms, warehouses and the training center
Summit County holds 413 farms, and corn, soybeans and cattle lead its list in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and livestock haulers parked on a farm lane can be collected where they stand; send directions and a photo of the access.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 668 transportation and warehousing jobs in Hudson, alongside 1,138 in manufacturing and 932 in wholesale trade, and County Business Patterns lists 4 warehousing establishments. Box trucks and straight trucks from those docks are part of what we take on.
East of town, NG Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center sits 18.8 miles away in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If a truck is stored near there, confirm whether access needs a pass before we schedule.
The questions we get asked in Hudson
- Will you collect a tandem dump sitting at the Hugo or Beck sand pit outside Hudson?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places Hugo Sand Company Incorporated 6.3 miles south-east of town and, 7.9 miles east, Beck Sand & Gravel, Inc. We collect from pits like these. Give us the gate contact and the hours it is open.
- Is a 2022 tractor too new for you to buy?Hudson trucks in FMCSA roadside inspection records have a median model year of 2022, so newer tractors are common here and we buy them. Send the VIN and the title status.
- Which office reissues a lost Ohio title for a truck kept in Hudson?Hudson is in Summit County, so the Summit County clerk of courts title office issues the duplicate. Request it first, then contact us.
