Aggregate hauling from two Licking County pits
Brookside Mine, 5.4 miles south-east of Johnstown, is a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. A dump truck or tri-axle that has worked that pit is likely parked close to home, so give us the address where it sits and the name on the title, and we can plan collection from there.
Fourteen miles east, the St Louisville Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a second sand and gravel site. If your truck ran aggregate between the two, list the bodies, hoists or tarps fitted to it and send photos of each, along with the cab and the frame.
Terminals at Heath, Columbus and the Norfolk Southern TBT
Energy Information Administration listings put the HEATH petroleum product terminal 14.4 miles south-east and the COLUMBUS terminal 16.7 miles west of Johnstown. Tank tractors that loaded at either one belong on the list of what we buy; keep the registration and any service records together with the truck.
About 20.3 miles south-west, Norfolk Southern TBT is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a liquid bulk terminal. If the tractor pulled tankers out of that site, tell us which trailers went with it and whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you.
Newark’s rail yards and the Columbus supply depot
Two yards named NEWARK WEST and NEWARK, 16.4 and 17.3 miles east, appear on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that shuttled loads to those yards can be collected wherever it is kept between runs; tell us whether a gate code or a contact is needed.
Defense Supply Center Columbus, 16.2 miles south-west, is a military installation named in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If your truck is parked on or near a secured site, say so up front so the pickup is arranged with whoever controls access.
Freight, machinery, dry bulk and grain out of Johnstown
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 64 active carriers here: 37 haul general freight, 10 machinery and large objects, 9 dry bulk commodities and 7 grain, feed and hay. Tell us which of those your truck carried, since a flatbed tractor and a grain hopper rig call for different photos.
Of those carriers, the same census shows 45 operating intrastate, 18 interstate and 23 running private fleets, with 8 new registrations in 2025 against 2 in 2024. FMCSA also lists fleets of 41, 34 and 22 power units here; a seller with several trucks can list each VIN and we will set out collection unit by unit.
Drivers attached to these carriers, per FMCSA’s carrier census, number 242 working within 100 miles and 50 beyond it, and 20 carriers report a median of 40,000 miles per truck. Have the odometer reading ready when you contact us.
Inspected 2024 to 2026
Model year 2022 at the median on Johnstown inspection sheets
Between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 57 trucks tied to Johnstown carriers, with a median model year of 2022 and 15.8 percent of them ten or more years old.
Whatever the model year, the paperwork we ask for is the same: the title, current registration and any inspection reports you kept from those roadside stops. If the Ohio title is missing, sort out a replacement with the state title office first and tell us where that stands.
Plants and corn country
Manufacturing payrolls and Licking County corn, soybeans and hogs
Census Bureau LEHD job counts for 2023 show 2,094 jobs in Johnstown, with 505 in manufacturing, 108 in wholesale trade, 71 in construction and 61 in transportation and warehousing. Box trucks and tractors serving plant docks are trucks we collect; send photos of the liftgate or the coupling if one is fitted.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 1,532 farms in Licking County, led by corn, soybeans and hogs. A grain truck or livestock hauler kept on a farm lane can be collected there, and County Business Patterns lists 37 construction establishments if yours worked building sites instead.
The questions we get asked in Johnstown
- Our tri-axle never left the Brookside pit off Johnstown; will you collect it from the pit itself?Brookside Mine sits 5.4 miles south-east of the village in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and a truck parked at a pit like that is collected where it stands; tell us who controls the gate.
- We have several tractors registered in Johnstown; how do several units get handled?FMCSA’s carrier census lists Johnstown fleets of 41, 34 and 22 power units, so if you run several trucks, send the VIN, title and registration for each truck and we work through them together.
- Our corn and soybean truck stays on the farm outside Johnstown; is collection on the farm possible?Licking County has 1,532 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and farm trucks are collected on the farm; give us directions to the lane and where the truck is parked.
