Lewisburg pit and beyond
Quarry and gravel trucks a few miles from Lewisburg
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a crushed-stone quarry named Lewisburg only 1.7 miles south of the village, close enough that a dump truck parked at the pit is practically in town. If your tri-axle or end dump works that face, we can collect it at the quarry gate or at your yard, whichever is simpler for you.
Further down the same road, the WYSONG GRAVEL CO - WEST ALEXANDRIA PIT is a sand and gravel operation 5.4 miles south, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Owners of aggregate haulers from that pit should have the title, current registration and a few clear photos of the bed, cab and VIN plate ready before they call.
East toward the county line, a crushed-stone quarry called PHILLIPSBURG sits 8.5 miles out and the Phillips Vandalia Plant, a sand and gravel site, sits 14.1 miles out, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine list. A Lewisburg truck that splits its week between those two eastern sites can be picked up wherever it ends the shift.
Thirty-two active carriers and the loads they list
Thirty-two carriers based around Lewisburg are active in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 21 of them list general freight while 10 list motor vehicles. That mix means box trucks, flatbeds and car haulers all turn up in local driveways, and every one of those body types is something we collect.
Grain, feed and hay appears on 8 carrier filings and driveaway or towaway on 6, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck pulls a hopper at harvest or tows units between lots, tell us the trailer setup along with the tractor so the pickup crew brings the right equipment.
The same federal motor carrier census shows 20 interstate operations, 11 intrastate ones and 16 private fleets here. A private-fleet truck that belongs to a farm or a plant rather than a for-hire carrier still sells the same way: the titled owner signs, and we handle the rest of the transfer paperwork with you.
One-truck owners and the nine-unit fleet
The biggest operation in FMCSA’s carrier census for this area runs 9 power units with 6 drivers, and the next two run 4 units with 4 drivers and 3 units with 3 drivers. Most sellers in Lewisburg are therefore owner-operators or very small fleets, and we can take a single tractor or several units in one visit.
Across 17 local carriers that reported mileage, FMCSA’s carrier census puts the median at 12,587 miles per truck in a year. Jot down your Lewisburg truck’s own odometer figure next to its VIN before calling; those two numbers open every conversation we have.
New registrations stay modest: 3 carriers joined in 2025 and none in 2024, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you are winding down an authority you opened recently, keep your USDOT number handy so the truck’s records match the seller on the title.
A manufacturing town on the Census Bureau’s job counts
Lewisburg’s plants hold 517 of the village’s 1,006 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, a manufacturing share of 51.4 percent. Plant shuttles, straight trucks and yard tractors that serve those floors can be collected right from the loading dock if the plant allows it, so check with the shipping office before we arrive.
Transportation and warehousing accounts for 111 of those jobs, an 11 percent share in the LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau. Drivers who keep a company truck at home should confirm with the titled owner that the unit is theirs to sell before reaching out.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 15 construction establishments, and their dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies sit alongside the quarry fleet. Have the equipment list for any mounted crane or lift gate ready, since we will ask what is bolted to the frame.
Grain and livestock haulers off Lewisburg farm lanes
Around Lewisburg and across Preble County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,044 farms, led by corn, soybeans and hogs. Grain trucks and livestock haulers usually live in a machine shed or at the edge of a field, and we collect from farm lanes as readily as from paved lots.
For a farm truck registered under the operation’s name, the 2022 Census of Agriculture figures matter less than who is on the title: bring the signed title from whoever the farm entity is, plus the registration card, and a family-owned truck changes hands without a hitch.
Replacing a lost title at the clerk’s counter in Eaton
Ohio titles are issued through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles at County Clerk of Courts title offices, and the one for Lewisburg is the Preble County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 542 North Barron Street, Eaton, 45320, 8.5 miles from town. If the paper title is missing, that is where a duplicate is requested.
Bring the VIN when you visit the Eaton clerk’s title counter, and ask the clerk what else the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles needs from you if a lender was ever listed. Once you hold the clean title, send us a photo of both sides and we can move on to scheduling the pickup.
Needmore, Moraine, Dayton
Twenty miles east: two yards and a fuel terminal
The North American Rail Network maps the NEEDMORE rail yard 19.7 miles east of Lewisburg and the MORAINE yard 19.8 miles to the south-east. Day cabs that run containers or rail freight out of those yards are trucks we buy, and we can meet one at a drop lot near the yard if that is where it is parked.
A petroleum product terminal in DAYTON sits 20.6 miles east, per the Energy Information Administration. Lewisburg tankers and fuel delivery trucks that load at that terminal should travel with their tank inspection paperwork and the title, since we will ask to see both.
