Two rail yards flanking Kenwood’s west side
Drive 4.3 miles south-west of Kenwood and you reach the McCullough yard; go 4.6 miles north-west instead and it is Sharonville, both mapped in the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. A day cab that has shuttled boxes between those two sets of tracks can stay parked wherever it was last dropped. Send us that address and the name of whoever controls the gate, and the collection gets planned around them.
Container moves in this corner of Hamilton County run through the Cincinnati, OH - Sharonville intermodal ramp, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists 4.7 miles north-west of town. If your tractor pulled chassis off that ramp, photograph the fifth wheel, the frame rails and the VIN plate along with the cab, and have the Ohio title in the registered owner’s name ready to sign.
Tank tractors between Kenwood’s fuel and bulk stops
Two liquid bulk terminals appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings near here: one 4.7 miles due south, and the Liquid Transfer Terminals site 7.5 miles to the south-west. Tractors that pulled tank trailers between them can be sold with or without the trailer; tell us which pieces carry their own titles so each one is signed over separately.
West of Kenwood, at 6.3 miles, the Energy Information Administration records the Cincinnati North petroleum product terminal. A truck that loaded fuel there probably carries hazmat placards and a tank inspection history, so gather the most recent inspection reports and service invoices and send them with your photos of the tractor and the tank.
Gravel and the river
A gravel pit south-east, a river dock south-west
Evans Gravel, a sand and gravel operation on Mine Safety and Health Administration files, lies 5.7 miles south-east of Kenwood. Dump trucks and tri-axles that hauled aggregate out of that pit often sit at a contractor’s lot rather than a home driveway, so give us the lot’s address and a phone number for someone on site.
Further out, 8.4 miles to the south-west, is the river port the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists as Cincinnati, OH. If your truck worked the docks and you have since left the area, it can stay put; you handle the paperwork from where you live and we arrange the pickup at the riverfront.
The carriers and what they haul
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 74 active motor carriers based in Kenwood, 54 of them running interstate, 20 intrastate, and 24 operating private fleets. Tell us which of those describes your operation and whether the truck carries a USDOT number, so the registration paperwork lines up before we arrive.
General freight is listed by 55 of those carriers in the same federal census, with 11 hauling machinery and large objects, 11 hauling metal sheets, coils and rolls, and 8 moving motor vehicles. Coil haulers, lowboys and car carriers fit that mix; list the trailer type and axle count when you write to us.
Fleet sizes here run from a handful of trucks to one operation with 1,395 power units and 1,348 drivers, a second with 271 of each, and a third with 29 units, according to FMCSA registrations. An owner with one tractor and a fleet manager retiring several units send us the same thing: VINs, title status and where each truck is parked.
Kenwood drivers near home and out on long runs
Carriers here report 1,436 drivers working within 100 miles and 845 going beyond that radius, per the FMCSA census. Among 22 carriers that filed mileage with FMCSA, the median truck logs 36,917 miles a year. Read the odometer off the dash and include it in your first message, together with the VIN.
Between August 30, 2024 and August 27, 2026, FMCSA roadside officers stopped and logged 381 trucks belonging to Kenwood-based carriers. The middle truck in that FMCSA inspection set is a 2021 model, while 10.24 percent of the 381 had reached ten model years or more. Whatever year yours is, the title, the registration card and any inspection sheets from those stops are what to have on hand.
Wholesale routes, contractor yards and corn country
Of 15,113 jobs counted in Kenwood for 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 199 in wholesale trade, 187 in transportation and warehousing, and 68 in construction. Box trucks from wholesale routes and stake beds from job sites are as welcome as tractors; a clear photo of each side and of the body is the place to start.
Builders keep 42 construction establishments going in and around Kenwood, by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally. A dump truck or flatbed parked in a contractor’s yard is collected there, so tell us the yard’s hours and who can hand over the keys.
Across Hamilton County, the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 322 farms, with corn, soybeans and cattle at the top of the list. A grain truck or livestock hauler off one of those farms can be picked up on the property; have the title and registration together and tell us which gate to use.
The questions we get asked in Kenwood
- The tractor still sits in a lot by the Sharonville container ramp; does it have to come back to Kenwood first?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts that ramp 4.7 miles north-west of Kenwood, and we collect the truck where it sits. Pass along the lot’s street address and the name of the yard attendant on duty.
- Do you take tank trucks that served the Cincinnati North terminal?Cincinnati North, a petroleum product terminal 6.3 miles west on Energy Information Administration records, is the sort of stop tank tractors here run to, and those trucks are on our list. Send photos, the VIN and the latest tank inspection report.
- Our Kenwood trucks haul only our own goods as a private fleet; are they eligible?Private fleets make up 24 of the 74 Kenwood carriers in FMCSA’s census, and their trucks are bought the same way as for-hire units. Send the VINs, title status and the address where each truck is kept.
- Which details should lead the message for a dump truck that ran loads out of Evans Gravel?Evans Gravel sits 5.7 miles south-east of town in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and trucks from that pit usually wait at a contractor’s lot. Send the VIN, odometer reading, photos of every side and the lot address.
