A village where nine in ten jobs are in manufacturing
Manufacturing holds 1,598 of the 1,760 McComb jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, or 90.8 percent of local work. Box trucks, day cabs and straight trucks that shuttle between plant docks and the rail terminals north-east of the village fit that picture. If yours has done that kind of plant run, tell us which dock it loaded at and send the VIN, so the first call is about your truck and not a guess.
A truck that hauls for a factory is often parked on factory ground when it is time to sell. If yours sits inside a plant gate in McComb, give us the name of whoever can let a driver in and the hours the gate is staffed. We arrange the collection around those hours rather than asking you to move the truck out first.
Northwest Ohio ICTF
Day cabs on the Northwest Ohio ICTF drayage
Six miles north-east of McComb, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Northwest Ohio ICTF at North Baltimore as a rail intermodal ramp. Tractors that dray containers off a ramp like that are usually day cabs, and they often end the week parked near the terminal rather than at home. Send photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel, plus the odometer reading, and say where the tractor is parked.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Northwest Ohio Terminal rail yard 6.2 miles out on the same north-east heading, and a yard called Findley 8.2 miles south-east. A truck that worked between those two yards and McComb can be collected at either end. Give us the street address of the lot, not just the yard name, so the driver goes to the right gate.
Around McComb, soybeans, corn and hogs lead the farm output of Hancock County, which counts 995 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks, hopper tractors and livestock haulers belong to that kind of country, and many of them stay parked on the farm between harvests. If yours is in a machine shed or a field lane, tell us whether a tow truck can reach it in wet weather.
FMCSA’s carrier census records four McComb-based carriers hauling grain, feed or hay, out of 16 active carriers in the village. For a farm truck, the title and the registration are what we need first; a farm plate or an older registration card is fine to photograph as it is. If the truck is titled to the farm rather than to you, say so and we will tell you who needs to sign.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two crushed-stone quarries near McComb: the Findlay Plant, 8.5 miles south-east, and, at 15.9 miles to the south-west, the one run by Bluffton Stone Company. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors work between quarries like these and job sites, and the five construction establishments that County Business Patterns counts in McComb are part of that local trade.
A dump truck that has worked a quarry may still be parked at the pit or at a contractor’s yard. Tell us which one, and whether the bed and hoist can be raised for photos; a picture of the bed up and one of the hoist cylinder answer most of what we would ask. Include the body make if you know it, along with the chassis VIN.
In Ohio the Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues titles, and McComb sellers deal with it through the County Clerk of Courts title offices. For McComb, the nearest is the Hancock County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 8210 C R 140, Suite E, Findlay, 45840, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 6.6 miles from the village.
If the title for your truck is missing, that office is where a duplicate is requested, and the request can go in before you contact us. Take photo identification and the truck’s seventeen-character VIN to the Findlay counter. If a lender is still on the title, ask the lender for a lien release at the same visit; we complete the purchase once the title is clear and in your name.
Eleven of McComb’s 16 active carriers run private fleets, and eleven operate only within Ohio, while five cross state lines, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Seven of them carry general freight, five move machinery and large objects, and three haul garbage and refuse. A private fleet selling one or two units can send us the VINs as a list, with the yard address for each truck.
The three largest fleets on record in the village, in FMCSA’s carrier census, run 21, 13 and 9 power units. If your operation is one of the smaller outfits in that group and you are letting go of a single tractor or a roll-off truck, the steps are the same: title, registration, photos and where it is parked. Machinery haulers should mention the trailer if it is part of the sale.
