Gravel at Evans and stone at Batavia
Evans Gravel, a sand and gravel operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 2.2 miles south-west of Milford. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that runs loads out of that pit is often parked within a few minutes of it, and we can collect it right there. Send the street address of the lot and a name for whoever holds the keys.
Batavia Mine, a crushed-stone quarry, is 11.6 miles south-east according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration as well. If your truck spent its days hauling stone between Batavia and job sites around Milford, photograph the body, the hoist and the cab, and include the VIN plate; those four shots answer most of our first questions about a quarry truck.
Tank racks between Milford and Cincinnati North
Two liquid bulk terminals appear west of town in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings: Heniff Transportation at 5.5 miles and Kinder Morgan at 9.1 miles. A tractor that has pulled tank trailers in and out of either gate can be sold from wherever it sits now. Tell us whether the trailer goes with it or stays behind, so we plan the right pickup.
The Energy Information Administration records the CINCINNATI NORTH petroleum product terminal 10.6 miles west. Fuel haulers who worked that rack should keep any hazmat paperwork and inspection reports they still have together with the title; with those papers in hand we can confirm the tractor’s history without guessing.
Rail yards toward Cincinnati and a Sharonville box ramp
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the CLARE yard is 5.4 miles west of Milford and LINWOOD is 8.1 miles west. Day cabs that shuttle between those yards usually come home to a lot close by, so give us that lot’s location and the gate hours.
For container work, the Sharonville intermodal ramp in Cincinnati is 10.1 miles north-west, per BTS. Owners of a drayage tractor that pulled boxes off that ramp should start by sending the VIN and the odometer reading, then the registration; everything else we ask about follows from those.
Milford’s own carriers, by cargo and reach
Milford is home to 109 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, of which 68 cross state lines, 40 keep to Ohio, and 60 operate as private fleets moving their own goods. In that same FMCSA census, general freight is the commonest cargo with 57 carriers, followed by machinery and large objects at 26, motor vehicles at 15, and metal sheets, coils and rolls at 11. Flatbeds, car haulers and dry vans all fit that mix, and we take each of them.
Of the drivers those Milford carriers list with FMCSA, 365 stay inside a 100-mile radius while 212 head beyond it. Among the 46 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median sits at 16,341 miles a truck. The three biggest local fleets hold 105, 90 and 20 power units, and FMCSA logged 9 new carriers here in 2024 and 6 in 2025. Whether you run one truck or a yard full, list the units, their VINs and where each one is parked.
Milford rigs on the roadside inspection log
FMCSA roadside inspection records from 9 September 2024 through 26 August 2026 take in 81 Milford-linked trucks. Those inspection records give a median model year of 2018, and 38.27 percent of the trucks were ten or more years old.
If your truck went through one of those inspections, keep the report with the title and registration. A copy, plus service records if you kept them, gives a clear account of the truck to go with the photos you send.
Plant work, building trades and Clermont farm country
Of the 4,575 Milford jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded for 2023, manufacturing held 366, construction 195 and wholesale trade 192. Builders show up again in County Business Patterns, at 111 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s tally. Box trucks, stake beds and dump trucks from those trades are all trucks we buy, parked at a shop or a job site.
Clermont County has 815 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with soybeans, corn and equine at the top. Grain trucks and horse-hauling rigs from those operations can be collected at the farm. The National Bridge Inventory lists 8 bridges in town with no load postings and none under 14 feet, so tell us which road reaches the truck and we will route a carrier to it.
The questions we get asked in Milford
- My dump truck sits near the Evans Gravel pit. Does it have to come off that gravel lot first?Evans Gravel is 2.2 miles south-west of Milford in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and we collect trucks parked near it where they are. Text us the pit-side address plus a phone number for whoever unlocks that yard.

Which papers matter for a tank tractor?Heniff Transportation and Kinder Morgan are liquid bulk terminals 5.5 and 9.1 miles west of town per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Have the title, registration and any inspection reports together, and tell us whether the tank trailer is part of the sale.
- My grain truck is on a soybean farm outside Milford. Can it be collected right at the farm?Clermont County counts 815 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and a farm truck from any of them is one we can collect at the farm. Give us the farm’s address and a few photos of the truck.
