Queensgate, five miles down the hill
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Queensgate yard 4.9 miles south-east of Monfort Heights, with Queensgate Intermodal at 5.6 miles. A day cab that shuttles boxes off those tracks usually comes home at night to a West Side street, so give us the address where it sleeps rather than the yard where it works.
Two intermodal ramps appear on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list for this corner of Cincinnati: Queensgate Yard at 5.5 miles and Gest Street at 6.3 miles, both to the south-east. If your tractor pulled chassis between them, have the title in your name, the current Ohio registration and a photo of the VIN plate ready when you call.
The riverfront
Port and liquid bulk along the Ohio
Six miles east of town, the port of Cincinnati is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics at 6.1 miles out. Tractors that move freight off the river docks are welcome here, and if the one you are selling is still parked down by the water, tell us whose lot it sits on and who holds the gate key.
South-west and south of the neighbourhood, Watco Terminal and Port Services (6.6 miles) and Growmark Fertilizer (6.7 miles) are both liquid bulk terminals, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tank-pulling tractor from those sites should come with whatever service records you kept and clear shots of the cab, frame and fifth wheel, so the photos tell its story alongside you.
A gravel pit off the west edge of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Allgeier & Son Inc as a sand and gravel operation 5.8 miles west of Monfort Heights. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul out of a pit like that one are a fit for us; send the body type, the axle count and the VIN in your first message.
If that dump truck is parked at the pit rather than at home, we can collect it where it stands. Let us know the gate hours and the name of a person on site, and keep the title with you instead of in the cab.
Jobs and building crews in Monfort Heights
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 3,751 jobs in Monfort Heights, 159 of them in construction, a 4.2 percent share. Contractor pickups, flatbeds and small dumps from those crews often sit in a side yard between jobs, and a few photos from each corner are enough for us to start.
A construction truck registered to a small company needs the title signed by whoever the company names as its officer. Check that the name on the Ohio title matches the business before you contact us, and tell us if a lender still appears on it.
Barnyard trucks on Hamilton County’s farms
Corn leads soybeans and cattle among the crops on Hamilton County’s 322 farms, as tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and livestock haulers are on our list, and the pickup happens at the barnyard or equipment shed where yours is parked.
A farm truck still needs its Ohio title in the seller’s name to change hands. If the title has gone missing, request a duplicate before the pickup is booked, and have the registration and any service records in the same folder.
The questions we get asked in Monfort Heights

- The Ohio title for my Hamilton County farm truck has disappeared.
