Gravel pits east of the lake
Wysong Gravel Co runs its Camden Pit, a sand and gravel operation, some 5.1 miles south-east of the Lake Lakengren shoreline, by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing. A tandem or tri-axle dump truck that loads at a pit like that is often parked near the scale house or at the owner’s yard, so tell us which one and how a loader or tow rig reaches it.
North-east of the lake, the same company’s West Alexandria Pit appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records roughly 10.4 miles out. If your dump truck or end-dump trailer hauled from both Wysong pits, write down the body length and the axle setup before you call; those two details shape the collection plan.
Have the Ohio title in the owner’s name, the current registration and a few clear photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab ready. With those in hand, a gravel truck from Preble County can be discussed while it stays parked where it is.
Lewisburg and Phillipsburg stone, north-east of town
A crushed-stone quarry called Lewisburg sits about 12.4 miles north-east of town, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Quarry work puts heavy-spec dump trucks and lowboys hauling loaders on the county roads between Lake Lakengren and that site, and both kinds of truck are on our list.
Phillipsburg, another crushed-stone quarry in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, lies around 21 miles to the north-east. If your truck is still sitting at a quarry lot that far out, leave it there; give us the gate contact and the hours the lot is open, and we plan the pickup around that.
For a quarry truck, send any scale tickets, inspection reports or service records you kept along with the photos. If the paperwork went missing, tell us what the truck hauled and where, and we will ask about the rest.
Hog barns and grain bins around Lake Lakengren
On a Preble County farm, the 2022 Census of Agriculture from USDA puts corn first, soybeans second and hogs third, across 1,044 farms in all.
A farm truck in this county is usually found in a machine shed or beside a grain bin rather than on a paved lot. Tell us whether the field lane is passable in wet weather and where the keys are kept, so the collection crew arrives ready for the ground it will be working on.
Farm-plated trucks still need a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name. If the title was lost, the state’s title agency issues a replacement; start that request before you send us photos and the VIN.
Rail yards and a fuel terminal to the south-east
Two rail yards on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sit south-east of the lake: New River at about 19.2 miles and Middletown at about 20.6 miles. Day cabs that shuttle trailers to yards like those can be sold from wherever they are parked between runs.
Todhunter Terminal, a petroleum product terminal the Energy Information Administration places about 22 miles south-east, is the closest such site listed for Lake Lakengren. If your tractor pulled a tank trailer from that terminal, say whether you are selling the tractor alone or the trailer too, and include photos of each.
For a tractor that worked these runs, send the VIN, the odometer reading and pictures of the frame, fifth wheel and tires along with the cab. With those in hand, the questions we ask afterwards are short.
Four items for a sale from the lake community
Most sales near the lake start with four items: the title, the registration, the VIN and a set of photos. If the truck has stood idle at home since its last season of farm or gravel work, the same four still apply.
Tell us the exact address, whether it is a pit, a farm or a driveway inside the lake community, and who can let the crew in. We come to the truck, so you never need to move it out of Preble County to sell it.
The questions we get asked in Lake Lakengren
- Wysong’s Camden Pit is where my dump truck sits now; must it be driven out to a road for pickup?The Camden Pit is about 5.1 miles south-east of Lake Lakengren according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from there. Give us the name of whoever runs the gate so the pickup is arranged with them.
- Will you take a grain truck or hog trailer off a Preble County farm near the lake?Preble County’s 1,044 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture grow mostly corn and soybeans and raise hogs, and the grain trucks and livestock trailers they use are on our list. A VIN and a few photos from the farmyard get the conversation going.
- With the Ohio title for my truck lost somewhere at the lake house, who issues a duplicate?Ohio titles near Lake Lakengren are replaced by the state’s title agency, and the request should be made in the name shown on the original title. Once you have the duplicate, we can complete the sale.
- My tractor hauled from Todhunter Terminal. Can I sell it with the tank trailer?Todhunter Terminal sits about 22 miles south-east of town per the Energy Information Administration, and tractors that ran from it can be sold alone or with the trailer. Tell us which, and send photos of both units.
