General freight and moving vans on the east side
General freight is the declared cargo for 22 of the 28 Mayfield Heights carriers still active in FMCSA’s carrier census. If your tractor or box truck is one of those general freight units, send the VIN, a photo of each side and a shot of the cab interior when you first get in touch.
A smaller group hauls specialised loads: the same federal census shows 2 carriers each for household goods, machinery and large objects, and motor vehicles. Moving vans, lowboys and car haulers from these outfits are trucks we buy too, so tell us what body or trailer the unit carries and include a photo of it.
Of those 28 carriers, 19 run interstate and 9 stay inside Ohio, according to FMCSA, and 6 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet selling one truck needs the title in the company’s name and someone authorised to sign it, so line that person up before we schedule the pickup.
From a single tractor to twenty units
Twenty, seventeen and thirteen power units: those are the three top fleet counts FMCSA holds for Mayfield Heights operators. Whether you are selling one of those units or the whole line, list each truck with its VIN and where it sits, and we will plan collection truck by truck.
A Mayfield Heights truck logs a median 21,602 miles a year, going by the 9 local carriers that report mileage in FMCSA’s census. Have the current odometer reading ready alongside the registration so the listing matches the truck in front of us.
New authority keeps arriving: FMCSA recorded 5 new carriers in Mayfield Heights in 2024 and 3 more in 2025. A newer operator selling a tractor should keep the purchase paperwork and title together, since those are the first things we ask to see.
Intermodal ramps between Collinwood and Maple Heights INTERMODAL yard
The North American Rail Network places the COLLINGWOOD rail yard 6.7 miles north-west of town, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Collinwood Yard intermodal ramp 6.9 miles west. If your day cab has been pulling containers off that ramp and is parked near the yard, give us the lot address and the name of whoever controls the gate.
South-west of the city, 9.5 miles out, sits MAPLE HEIGHTS INTERMODAL, a yard recorded in the North American Rail Network. A tractor left there does not need to come back to Mayfield Heights before we collect it; send the location and we will meet it at the yard.
Tankers and the Cleveland fuel terminals
Two petroleum product terminals named CLEVELAND and CLEVELAND - ASPHALT appear in Energy Information Administration records 11.6 and 11.7 miles west. Tank trucks and tractors that pull fuel or asphalt trailers are part of what we purchase, so tell us which trailer the unit pulled and whether it is sold with the tractor.
Liquid bulk work runs closer too: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records Norfolk Southern TBT 5.7 miles north-west and Transflo CSXT 11.8 miles west. Keep any terminal inspection or service records with the truck and send copies with your photos.
Bridges, jobs and the work around town
Of the 12 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records in Mayfield Heights, none is load-posted and none clears less than 14 feet. Tell us whether the truck sits on a street, in a driveway or behind a building, so the collection truck is set up for the spot.
Census Bureau LEHD job counts show 15,161 jobs here in 2023, with 1,238 in manufacturing, 227 in wholesale trade, 190 in construction and 87 in transportation and warehousing. Dump trucks, flatbeds and straight trucks from construction or supply work fit what we buy; photograph the body and any equipment mounted on it.
Beyond the city, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 104 farms in Cuyahoga County, led by tomatoes, cut flowers and equine operations. A stake-bed or horse-hauling rig from one of those farms belongs on the list too, with its title and registration in the seller’s name.
The questions we get asked in Mayfield Heights
- My day cab sits near the Collinwood ramp in Cleveland. Will you pick it up at the ramp lot instead of in Mayfield Heights?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the Collinwood Yard ramp 6.9 miles west of Mayfield Heights, and we collect from there. Give us the lot and a contact who can let us in.
- Our Mayfield Heights freight company has several tractors to sell. Will you collect the tractors as one batch from our lot?General freight is what 22 of the 28 active Mayfield Heights carriers in FMCSA’s census haul, and we will take one unit or several. Send each VIN with photos and the address where it sits.
- What paperwork should I have before you collect?With 6 of the city’s carriers listed by FMCSA as private fleets, title ownership is the first thing to check: the title in the seller’s or company’s name, current registration, and any service records you keep.
