Two rail yards and an intermodal ramp westward
Cincinnati’s Sharonville intermodal ramp lies 8.2 miles west of Loveland on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, and the SHARONVILLE rail yard sits beside it at 8.3 miles in the North American Rail Network. A day cab that shuttles boxes between that ramp and Loveland warehouses can stay parked wherever it last dropped; give us the street address and the gate contact and we collect it there.
Further toward the city, the CLARE rail yard appears 10.7 miles south-west in the same North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor works the run between Clare and Sharonville, send us the VIN, the title in your name and a few photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel before anything else.
Pits past the river
Two pits up the road from town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists L & I PIT & MILL 7.4 miles north of Loveland and Oeder & Sons Sand & Gravel at 7.6 miles, both sand and gravel operations. Dump trucks and tri-axles that load at those pits are trucks we buy, and they can be picked up at the pit lot or at your yard, whichever you name.
Construction gives work to 101 people in Loveland according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, and County Business Patterns counts 121 construction establishments. For a dump body or a mixer from that trade, tell us the body make and keep any annual inspection paperwork with the title.
Liquid bulk and petroleum terminals south-west
A liquid bulk terminal stands 10.7 miles south-west of Loveland in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, and Liquid Transfer Terminals, Inc. appears in that same list at 14.2 miles. Tractors that pull tank trailers between those sites qualify, and so does the trailer if you own it; list both on one message so we can plan a single collection.
CINCINNATI NORTH, a petroleum product terminal, is placed 13.3 miles south-west by the Energy Information Administration. Fuel haulers who load there should gather the tank’s test and certification records alongside the registration and send them with the photos.
Hundreds of motor carriers registered in town
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 363 active carriers based in Loveland, with 302 operating interstate, 58 intrastate and 68 working as private fleets. By cargo in that same census, general freight leads at 289 carriers, followed by motor vehicles at 40, fresh produce at 30 and refrigerated food at 29.
Car haulers, reefer tractors and dry-van sleepers all come from that mix, and each one is a truck we purchase whether you own one unit or run a small fleet. Among the 145 carriers reporting mileage to the federal census, the median truck covers 42,000 miles a year; have your own odometer reading ready when you call.
Newcomers keep arriving: the federal motor carrier census records 47 new carriers registering here in 2024 and 45 in 2025. If you started in one of those years and are now stepping back, a title in your name and a current registration are the two papers that matter first.
Drivers who stay close and drivers who roam
Of drivers on file with carriers in this town, 960 stay within 100 miles and 2,072 go beyond that radius, per FMCSA’s carrier census. A long-haul sleeper may be sitting at a terminal out of state when you decide to sell; tell us where it is parked and we arrange collection at that spot.
The three biggest Loveland fleets in the federal census list 120, 114 and 99 power units, carrying 60, 116 and 84 drivers. If you manage several tractors, send a list of VINs with the titles and we will work through the whole group in one conversation.
Inspection records and local bridges
Between August 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 907 trucks belonging to Loveland carriers, and those FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2020, with 12 percent dating back ten years or more. Whatever the year on your title, have the registration and any service records on hand.
Six bridges cross Loveland’s roads in the National Bridge Inventory, and not one carries a load posting or clears less than 14 feet. A tall trailer or a loaded dump can be reached on local streets, so the pickup can happen at your home, shop or lot.
Wholesale, manufacturing and farms nearby
Loveland holds 4,514 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts for 2023: wholesale trade accounts for 519, manufacturing for 280 and transportation and warehousing for 176. Box trucks and straight trucks that deliver for those employers fit what we buy, and a company-owned unit just needs whoever signs for the business on the title.
Hamilton County’s 322 farms, led by corn, soybeans and cattle in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, put grain trucks and livestock haulers on the roads around Loveland too. If one of those carries a farm name on its title, have the person authorised to sign for the farm with you.
