Racks by the Warren line
Tank trucks loading on both sides of town
The Energy Information Administration lists the WARREN petroleum product terminal 0.9 miles north-west of McKinley Heights, close enough that a tanker parked at a home here may load there on most runs. If you are selling a tank truck or a tractor that pulls fuel trailers, tell us which terminal it loaded at and send photos of the tank, the cab and the plate.
A second site on the same Energy Information Administration list, the YOUNGSTOWN petroleum product terminal, lies 7.3 miles south of town. A McKinley Heights tractor that splits its loads between the Warren and Youngstown racks can be collected from whichever yard it sits in; give us that address and the name on the title.
Car haulers between McKinley Heights and the Lordstown autoload
Eight miles west of McKinley Heights, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the LORDSTOWN rail yard, with the LORDSTOWN CSX AUTOLOAD yard 8.3 miles out. Car haulers and day cabs that shuttle between those yards and the Warren side of the county are trucks we take on; tell us whether yours pulls a car-carrier trailer and whether the trailer is part of the sale.
If your truck is kept at a lot near the Lordstown yards rather than at home in McKinley Heights, that is where we will meet it. Have the registration and any service records in the cab, and send us the VIN so the questions we ask are about your truck alone.
Honey Creek haulers
Hauling stone out past the Youngstown side
Mine Safety and Health Administration records place the HONEY CREEK PIT, a crushed-stone quarry, 19.7 miles south-east of McKinley Heights, and Solomon’s Mines Inc., a sand and gravel operation, 20.3 miles to the south. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul from sites like these are on our list; photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab help us understand the truck before we see it.
A gravel hauler often stays near the pit between jobs instead of coming back into town. If yours is parked at Honey Creek or down by Solomon’s Mines, give us directions to the gate and say whether someone will be on hand to meet us.
McKinley Heights contractors and their flatbeds
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) recorded 632 jobs in McKinley Heights, and 72 of them, a share of 11.4 percent, were in construction. Contractors who run a dump truck, a flatbed or a box truck alongside that work can sell one unit or several; list each truck by VIN and tell us where each one is parked.
A small contractor here may keep the truck at a job site in Warren or Youngstown rather than at the shop. Wherever it is, a clear photo of the odometer, the plate and both sides of the truck lets us start the conversation with the right questions.
Milk and grain routes
Dairy pickups and harvest loads off Trumbull back roads
Around McKinley Heights, farmland fills much of the county: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 945 farms in Trumbull County, with corn, soybeans and milk at the top of the list. Grain trucks, milk tankers and farm straight trucks are all trucks we buy, whether they are kept at the barn or at a yard in town.
For a farm truck, tell us whether it carries farm plates or regular registration, and whether the title is in a person’s name or the farm’s. If the truck sits in a field or a machine shed, a pin on a map or a description of the lane is enough for us to find it.
Clerk of courts duplicate
Clerk of courts help for a McKinley Heights owner without a title
A McKinley Heights owner who has misplaced a title requests a duplicate at the county clerk of courts title office, the local counter for titles issued by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Start that before you contact us if you can, and let us know once it is filed so we know where the paperwork stands.
With a lien on the truck, have the lender’s name and the payoff contact ready, since the lien holder’s release goes with the title. Registration, the title and a photo ID in the same name are the three things we ask every seller in McKinley Heights to have on hand.
The questions we get asked in McKinley Heights

- Lost the title to my truck - who issues a replacement here?Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles titles are handled by the County Clerk of Courts title offices, so a McKinley Heights seller goes to the Trumbull County Clerk of Courts title office for a replacement.
- Can you meet my tri-axle at the Honey Creek Pit gate?Honey Creek Pit, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 19.7 miles south-east of town, is the kind of site our dump truck sellers haul from, and we can meet the truck there.
