Portable Plant #1 and Milton Materials, a stone’s throw from Ludlow Falls
Portable Plant #1, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 0.9 miles south-west of the village, is practically next door. Tandem and tri-axle dump trucks that load there belong on the list of what we purchase, and if yours is parked at a yard close to the pit, give us that location and we can meet the truck where it stands.
North of the village, Milton Materials, LLC runs a sand and gravel operation that the Mine Safety and Health Administration puts 1.8 miles away. A truck that hauled from that site may have a scale-ticket book, a fuel log or a service folder riding in the cab; photograph those pages with the truck itself, along with the VIN plate, and send them in one message.
Six to eight miles off
The Phillips Vandalia Plant and the Phillipsburg quarry
South-east toward Vandalia, the Phillips Vandalia Plant is a sand and gravel operation 6.3 miles from Ludlow Falls according to MSHA. A truck kept at a contractor lot along that stretch can stay put; send us the street address and a note on how to reach the spot.
Going the other way, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records a crushed-stone quarry called Phillipsburg 8.2 miles south-west. Side-dump and end-dump trailers, plus the tractors that pull them out of that quarry, are trucks we buy too, so list the trailer separately when you write to us and include a picture of its plate.
Rail yards and fuel terminals south-east of the village
Needmore, a rail yard on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies 15.3 miles south-east, and a second yard at Dayton sits 18.3 miles out on that same heading. Day cabs that shuttle loads between those yards and local shippers are welcome here; the VIN and the odometer reading are the two details to send first.
Two petroleum product terminals at Dayton appear in Energy Information Administration listings at 17.2 and 17.3 miles from Ludlow Falls. If your straight truck or tractor has been pulling fuel tankers from those terminals, mention the tank trailer and any hazmat placard paperwork you hold so we can ask the right questions about the whole rig.
Fields around the falls
Grain, beans and hogs across the surrounding farmland
Around Ludlow Falls the farm ground runs to corn, soybeans and hogs, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,158 farms in Miami County overall. Grain trucks, hopper-bottom tractors and livestock haulers from those operations are all trucks we want to hear about.
A farm truck often spends most of the year parked in a machine shed or at the edge of a field rather than on a lot. That is fine: give us the farm road and a landmark, and keep the registration and the farm-plate card with the title so everything is in one place on pickup day.
One Stop Court, Troy
Replacing a missing certificate before you sell
Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles titles for Ludlow Falls trucks go through the Miami County Clerk of Courts Title Office, one of the state’s County Clerk of Courts title offices, at 1506 One Stop Ct Suite 5, Troy, 45373. The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles title office search places that counter 5.6 miles from the village.
If the title is missing, or still lists a lender from an old loan, sort that out at the Troy office before we collect the truck. Bring the lien release letter if there was a loan, and have your photo ID ready along with the registration so the clerk can match the truck to your name.
The questions we get asked in Ludlow Falls
- Can you pick up a dump truck still sitting at Portable Plant #1 or Milton Materials?Portable Plant #1 is 0.9 miles south-west and Milton Materials, LLC 1.8 miles north, on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and a truck parked at either can be collected on site.

- My tractor hauls out of the Dayton fuel terminals; will you buy it along with the tanker?Those two Dayton petroleum product terminals, 17.2 and 17.3 miles south-east in Energy Information Administration listings, are served by tractors we purchase. Say whether the tanker trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind, and send its plate number too.
