West of Columbus rail

Three rail sites east of Lake Darby

Just 5.2 miles east of Lake Darby lies the BUCKEYE rail yard, on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that shuttles trailers to that yard is often parked near it between loads, so give us the lot address and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and the pickup gets planned around that spot.

Container work out of Columbus, OH - Buckeye Yard, an intermodal ramp the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts 5.6 miles north-east of town, tends to run on tractors with fifth wheels set for chassis. When you reach out, send the VIN, a photo of the door sticker and a shot of the fifth wheel, and we can line up the rest of our questions from those.

Further out, the North American Rail Network shows the PARSONS rail yard 13.6 miles east. If your tractor was based closer to Parsons than to Lake Darby, it can stay right there; tell us the cross streets and we arrange the collection where it stands.

Tank racks east of town

Two terminals a block apart

Two petroleum product terminals sit almost side by side east of town: COLUMBUS WEST at 5.6 miles and BENCHMARK BIODIESEL at 5.7 miles, both listed by the Energy Information Administration. Tank tractors that load at racks like these usually carry a stack of paperwork, and the registration and title belong at the top of that stack when you contact us.

A tractor that pulled fuel trailers out of those two terminals may have hazmat placard holders, a wet kit or a PTO fitted to it. List each of those fittings in your first message and photograph them along with the cab and the frame.

Crushed stone nearby

Marble Cliff and the eastern quarries

According to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, Marble Cliff Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, lies 6.9 miles east of Lake Darby, and a second crushed-stone site, HAZMAG #1, sits 11.3 miles out in that same direction. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors are what a quarry haul calls for, and those are trucks we take.

If your dump truck is still parked at a quarry yard, ask the site office whether an outside crew may enter, then pass that answer on to us with the yard address. Photos of the body, the hoist and the tag axle, if it has one, help us understand the truck before we arrive.

Soybeans, corn and potted plants

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 372 farms in Franklin County, with soybeans, corn and potted flowering plants at the top of the county’s list. Grain trucks, straight trucks with box bodies and tractors that pull hopper trailers come off farms like these, and we buy each of those.

Around Lake Darby, a soybean or corn hauler may be parked behind a barn or along a field lane. Tell us how the truck can be reached, whether a gate or soft ground is in the way, and who will be on the property, and the collection crew arrives knowing the ground.

Papers to have ready

The Ohio title and the truck’s logs

The seller named on the Ohio title is the one who signs it over, so have that title in hand, along with the current registration. Should the title be lost, the state’s title agency issues a replacement, and you can start that request before you contact us.

Gather service logs and annual inspection sheets too, whether the truck hauled stone from Marble Cliff or containers off the Buckeye ramp. They are not required; if you have none, describe the work the truck did and we will ask what else we need.
