Limestone pits a short haul from the village
Cedarville Limestone lies 5.8 miles north of the village and Bowersville sits 6.5 miles south, both listed as crushed-stone quarries by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs between those pits and local job sites can stay parked at the quarry, at a shop or in your yard when we come for it; just give us the exact address and gate details.
West toward Xenia, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records two sand and gravel operations, Phillips Companies Xenia at 12.5 miles and Xenia Sand & Gravel at 12.6 miles. If your truck hauls aggregate out of either one, photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and note the axle setup so we know which truck we are looking at before we arrive.
The Fairborn Cement Plant, 14.1 miles north-west according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, adds bulk cement hauling to the local mix. Pneumatic tankers and bulk trailers from that run are trucks we buy too; have the trailer’s registration alongside the tractor’s.
A village of small carrier fleets
Most are small, and the three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s records run 7, 6 and 5 power units, so the truck you are selling is likely one of a handful in the yard, and we deal with you directly as its owner.
Of those 34 carriers, 16 are registered for interstate work and 18 stay inside Ohio, while 16 run private fleets hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Whichever group your truck falls into, keep the USDOT number and the registration together so the paperwork matches the truck at pickup.
The 15 Jamestown carriers who give FMCSA a mileage figure put their typical truck at 26,000 miles a year, the median across them. That is a neutral figure; send us the odometer reading with your photos so the details we work from are your own.
Loads on the record
Hay, hoppers and lowboys on the village’s books
General freight is the most common cargo listed, carried by 20 of the village’s carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, with grain, feed and hay and machinery or large objects each claimed by 10. Tell us what your truck pulled, whether a van, a hopper or a lowboy, and include the trailer if it goes with the sale.
Nine Jamestown carriers list dry bulk commodities with FMCSA, which fits alongside the stone and sand pits around the village. A bulk hauler sold here should come with its title, its current registration and any service records you have kept, all in one folder.
New registrations have been steady, with FMCSA’s carrier census recording four new carriers in 2024 and three in 2025. If you started hauling recently and are now selling, keep the title transfer or lien release on hand before we schedule collection.
Fields of corn and hogs
Farm hauling around the village
Around Jamestown, corn, soybeans and hogs lead the farm output, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 897 farms in Greene County. Grain trucks, hopper bottoms and livestock haulers that serve those farms often sit at a barn or field edge; we can collect from there if you tell us how a truck reaches it.
Seasonal farm trucks are often registered and titled to the farm rather than a person. If yours is, have the name on the title match whoever signs, or bring the paperwork that shows who can sign for the farm.
Home at night or not
Short runs, long runs and the Dayton rail yard
Drivers working out of Jamestown split close to evenly on FMCSA records, with 40 staying inside a hundred-mile radius and 32 going beyond it. A local truck is usually home at night, so pickup at your yard is simple; a long-haul unit may be easier to collect between trips, so tell us when it will be back.
Rail freight leaves from the DAYTON yard, 23.3 miles west of Jamestown on the North American Rail Network maps from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck shuttles loads to that yard, we can arrange collection there or wherever it is parked when you call.
Air base routes
Work tied to Wright-Patterson and Springfield Beckley
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base lies 19.3 miles north-west and Springfield Beckley 13.9 miles north-west, both listed as military installations by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that deliver to either one are sold the same way as any other here: a clear title, the registration and a set of clear photos.
Jobs in Jamestown totalled 669 in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with manufacturing holding 108 of them, a 16.1 percent share. Box trucks and straight trucks serving those employers are on the list we buy, from a single unit to a small fleet.
Clerk of Courts in Xenia
Jamestown sellers deal with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, whose titles are issued at County Clerk of Courts title offices across the state. For Jamestown, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles lists the Greene County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 601 Ledbetter Rd., Suite B, Xenia, 45385, about 10.1 miles from the village.
If the title is missing or still shows a lender who has since released the lien, sort that out at the Xenia counter before we collect. Bring your ID and the lien release if there is one, and keep the new title together with the registration for the day of pickup.
The questions we get asked in Jamestown
- Can you pick up a farm truck from a field outside the village?Greene County’s 897 farms, counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, mean plenty of trucks live at barns and field edges. Tell us how to reach yours and who signs the title for the farm.
