West toward the lake
From Mayfield to COLLINGWOOD and the Collinwood ramp
Head 6.8 miles west from Mayfield and you reach the COLLINGWOOD rail yard, as mapped in the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration keeps with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your day cab has shuttled boxes or trailers in and out of that yard, tell us so and give us the VIN when you first get in touch; the rest of our questions start from that number.
A little farther out, the Cleveland, OH - Collinwood Yard intermodal ramp lies 7.2 miles west, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that pulls container chassis off that ramp may be parked at a drop lot rather than at your house. Send the lot’s address and the name of whoever can let us through the gate, and the pickup gets planned around that.
Southwest of town, the North American Rail Network lists MAPLE HEIGHTS INTERMODAL at 11.7 miles. Sellers who worked that yard can leave the truck where it sits in Maple Heights; we collect it there instead of asking you to bring it back to Mayfield.
Lakefront tankers
Liquid bulk and petroleum terminals near Cleveland
Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, is 5.4 miles west of Mayfield in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. Tractors that pull tank trailers to a site like that are on the list of what we purchase. Note which terminals the truck served and keep any site inspection sheets with the title, since they show the truck’s working history better than a photo can.
Two petroleum product terminals, CLEVELAND - ASPHALT at 13.2 miles and CLEVELAND at 13.3 miles, both west of town, appear in Energy Information Administration records. An asphalt tractor or a fuel hauler from either one should come with photos of the cab, the frame, the fifth wheel and the tires, so the pictures line up with what you tell us on the phone.
Sand hauling out of Chardon
Out past the county line, Best Sand - Chardon digs industrial minerals 12.4 miles east of Mayfield, per Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that carry sand from a pit like that one are trucks we buy, single unit or tractor.
If the dump truck stays parked at or near the Chardon site between loads, say whether a loader or gate stands between it and the road. Knowing the access ahead of time lets us send the right equipment to the pit instead of to your driveway.
Mayfield spans
Bridges a tow truck crosses to reach you
Five bridges are recorded in and around Mayfield by the National Bridge Inventory of the Federal Highway Administration, and that inventory lists none of them as load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. A heavy tow or lowboy coming to collect your truck has no posted weight limit or low span on those five structures to route around.
On the phone, describe the driveway, the gate and the ground at your place, along with where on the property the truck is parked, and the collection is set up for that spot.
Mayfield’s plant floors and the box trucks serving them
Of 4,041 jobs counted in Mayfield for 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, 539 were in manufacturing, a 13.3 percent share. Box trucks and straight trucks that make deliveries for plants and shops are part of what we take; have the registration and the title in the same name before we arrive.
Wholesale trade accounted for 227 of those jobs, 5.6 percent, and construction for 123, or 3 percent, by the same LEHD figures. A contractor selling a dump truck or a stake bed, or a distributor letting go of a reefer or a box truck, can start with photos and the VIN, and then tell us where the truck will be on collection day.
Tomatoes and horses
Cuyahoga greenhouses, stables and their haulers
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 104 farms in Cuyahoga County, with tomatoes, cut flowers and cultivated greens, and equine operations at the top of the list. Grain trucks, flatbeds and horse-hauling rigs from those operations qualify, whether they are titled to a farm or to a person.
Farm-plated trucks still need a clear title to sell. If a title for a Mayfield-area farm truck has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues the replacement, so request the new copy before you call us.
The questions we get asked in Mayfield
- Will a low bridge or weight limit stop the tow truck from reaching my place?None of the five bridges the National Bridge Inventory records around Mayfield is load-posted or under 14 feet, so those structures do not restrict the route. Tell us about a tight driveway or soft ground, since that is what shapes the pickup.
- The title for my Cuyahoga County tomato-farm truck is missing; who replaces it?Cuyahoga County’s 104 farms, as counted by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, run trucks that need the same title as any other vehicle, and the state’s title agency is the office that issues a replacement. Once the replacement arrives, send us the VIN and photos of the farm truck.
- Do you take dump trucks that haul sand from the Chardon pit?Best Sand - Chardon, 12.4 miles east of town in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, is the kind of site whose dump trucks we buy. Send photos and tell us whether the truck is parked at the pit or at home.
