Smith-Evergreen, Massillon and the shale pit east of town
Smith-Evergreen No 1 & No 2, a sand and gravel operation 5.5 miles west of Lake Mohawk, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of mine sites. A tri-axle or tandem dump truck that loads aggregate there is the kind of truck we collect from a yard or a driveway near the lake. Send a few photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate, and tell us where the truck is parked.
Further out on the same westward line, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Massillon Materials III, another sand and gravel site, at 14.2 miles, and the CCU Tuscarawas Strip coal preparation plant at 16.9 miles. If your truck hauled between those sites, say which ones; it helps us ask the right questions about the body and the hoist rather than generic ones.
East of town the picture is different: Shale Pit 002, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists as an industrial-mineral mine, is 16.6 miles out in that direction. A truck that worked the shale pit can be collected wherever it now sits, so give us the address and describe the access road from the nearest highway.
Tankers and day cabs between Minerva and the Canton racks
Drivers heading north-east from Lake Mohawk reach the Minerva rail yard after 6.4 miles, while the East End yard sits 12.6 miles the other way, north-west, both listed in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs and box trucks that shuttle freight to and from rail sidings around there are on the list of what we buy. Have the registration and the title in hand before we schedule the pickup.
Two petroleum product terminals both named Canton appear in the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list, one 12.3 miles and the other 14 miles north-west of the lake. Owners of a fuel tanker or a tractor that pulled tank trailers from those racks should mention the trailer type and any tank inspection paperwork they kept, since those records travel with the truck.
A young set of trucks on Carroll County roads
Across 86 trucks stopped between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records show a median model year of 2021 for vehicles tied to this area. Whatever year your truck is, the first two things we need are the VIN and the odometer reading.
Among Lake Mohawk-area trucks, 12.8 percent of the 86 in FMCSA roadside inspection records carried a model year ten or more years back. Older or newer, the steps match: clear photos in daylight, the title, and any service records you have kept in the cab or the office.
Milk routes and grain hauls around Lake Mohawk
Around the lake, farm country takes in 817 farms across Carroll County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, milk and cattle listed as the top products. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and the tractors that pull milk tankers off those farms are trucks we purchase straight from the farm lane.
If a farm truck has spent years parked at the barn, the registration may have lapsed; that is fine, as long as the title is in the owner’s name. Tell us how the truck is reached from the road, whether there is a gate, and whether it shares a shed with other equipment.
Contractor trucks in the lake community
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau count 13 construction establishments for the area around Lake Mohawk. Contractors with a flatbed, a stake-body or a small dump truck sitting idle between jobs can sell it to us where it is parked, whether that is a shop lot or a house along the lake road.
For a contractor’s truck, list what is mounted on it: a crane, a lift gate, a plow frame or a toolbox. Send a photo of each item with the title, ahead of any trip out to Carroll County.
The clerk’s title counter on South Lisbon Street
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues titles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and for Lake Mohawk owners that means the Carroll County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 119 S Lisbon St Suite 401, Carrollton, 44615, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 8.3 miles from town. A duplicate title for a truck in your name is requested there.
Take your photo ID and the truck’s VIN to the Carrollton clerk’s counter, and if a lender once held a lien, bring the lien release too. Once the duplicate is in hand, send us a photo of the front and back so we can match the name and VIN to the truck.
