Tow Path to DTS Sands
Dump trucks on the Lucasville gravel circuit
Tow Path Ready Mix, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 2.6 miles north-west of Lucasville, is close enough that a mixer or dump truck parked there is effectively in town. If your truck sits at a pit gate or a contractor’s lot, send us that address rather than a home address, and we will arrange collection at the spot where it is parked.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records PIKETON SAND & GRAVEL 9.3 miles north, PLUM RUN STONE 20.7 miles west and Latham Limestone #1 at 21.7 miles north-west. A tri-axle or tandem dump that rotates between those sites can be photographed wherever it ends the shift; include the bed, the tailgate, the cab and the plate so the photos match the registration.
North-east of town, DTS Sands runs its Beaver Mine 19.1 miles out and a bag plant at 21.4 miles, both entered by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as industrial-mineral mines. Tell us which of these sites the truck served and whether it is still on a job there; we meet it at whichever site you name.
The Portsmouth yard and the rail line
Lucasville’s nearest rail yard is PORTSMOUTH, 9.4 miles due south on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle loads between the yard and local shippers are often kept near Portsmouth; give us the yard-side address if that is where yours stays.
A tractor that works the rail side usually has its paperwork in a fleet office rather than in the cab. Before we talk, pull together the title, the current Ohio registration and any service records you keep, and photograph the VIN plate on the door jamb.
Lumber, coil, freight
Log trailers and coil flatbeds out of Lucasville
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 55 active carriers based in Lucasville, with 28 hauling general freight, 20 hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber, 16 moving machinery and large objects, and 7 carrying metal sheets, coils and rolls. A log truck, a lowboy tractor or a flatbed rigged for coil all fit what we buy, so say which kind of load yours carried when you contact us.
Of those carriers, 23 run interstate and 32 stay inside Ohio, and 24 are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. If your truck belongs to a business that hauls for itself, have someone who can sign for the company ready along with the title.
New registrations stay small here: the federal carrier census shows 4 new carriers in 2024 and 1 in 2025. One local fleet runs 92 power units with 86 drivers, while two others run 10 power units each, by FMCSA’s census figures; owners selling one truck out of several can list every VIN in one message.
Lucasville drivers on the shorter radius
Among drivers working for Lucasville carriers, 152 stay within 100 miles and 56 go beyond that radius, on FMCSA’s carrier census. Give us the town where your truck is parked at the end of its route, and we plan collection around that spot.
Nineteen carriers reported mileage to FMCSA’s census, and their median sits at 25,438 miles per truck each year. Note the odometer reading when you photograph the dash, since it is one of the first lines we ask for.
Across 59 trucks inspected from September 2024 to August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2011.
If your truck has a roadside inspection report from that period, keep it with the title. It confirms the VIN and the plate on a federal form, which lets us match your truck to its paperwork without extra back and forth.
A Seventh Street office in Portsmouth for missing titles
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues titles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and for Lucasville that is the Scioto County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 602 7Th Street Room 210, Portsmouth, 45662, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 9.6 miles from town. A missing title gets replaced there.
Bring the VIN, your identification and any lien release with you to Portsmouth. If a bank held the loan, ask it for the release first so the replacement title comes back clean and ready to sign over.
Grain, horses and building work around town
Around Lucasville, farms grow soybeans and corn and keep horses; the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 585 farms across Scioto County. Grain trucks and straight trucks hauling feed or hay often sit in a barn lot between seasons, so send the farm’s address and a photo of where the truck is parked.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 12 construction establishments in Lucasville, while the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put local jobs at 504 in 2023. A contractor’s dump or flatbed is something we collect from the yard or the job site, whichever is easier to reach.
