Two yards and a gravel pit within two miles
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the MORAINE TV yard 1.1 miles east of town and a second yard named MORAINE 1.8 miles to the north-east. A day cab that shuttles trailers or loads between those yards and local plants can often stay parked right where it works when we arrange collection. Send us the street address of the lot and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a sand and gravel operation in West Carrollton, 1.9 miles south-west of town. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul from a pit that close are usually kept nearby, so tell us whether yours sits at the operation itself or at a yard in Moraine. Send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, with the VIN plate in one shot.
Dayton fuel terminals and the aggregate plants beyond
Two petroleum product terminals listed under the name DAYTON sit 7.4 and 7.5 miles north-east of Moraine, according to the Energy Information Administration. If your tanker or fuel-hauling tractor loaded at either rack, mention which one and keep any terminal access records together with the title. That history travels with the truck and answers questions before they are asked.
Farther out, the Ernst Agg Plant 5 aggregate site sits 8.4 miles south-west, and a crushed-stone quarry at Huber Heights lies 13.6 miles north-east; both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. A dump truck that splits its weeks between those two plants may be parked at either end of the county. Give us the location where it stands today, and we plan the pickup from there, not from Moraine.
Freight, car haulers and machinery loads
Of the 106 active Moraine carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is on the cargo list for 71. The same census shows 16 carrying motor vehicles and 15 running driveaway or towaway work, while 10 haul machinery and large objects. Whether you run a car hauler, a lowboy for equipment or a dry van, have the registration and your USDOT number ready when you call.
Sixty of those carriers are authorized for interstate work, 46 stay intrastate, and 41 are private fleets moving their own company’s goods, per the same FMCSA census. A private-fleet truck may be titled to a business, not a person. If so, the officer or owner named on the title is the one who signs, so find out early who that is.
New authority keeps appearing here too: FMCSA records show 9 carriers registered in Moraine in 2025 and 5 in 2024. If you started up recently and are now selling the one tractor you bought, the title and the current cab card are the two papers we need first.
Big fleets, local drivers and yearly miles
Moraine is home base for a 338-unit fleet with 375 drivers on FMCSA’s census, alongside fleets of 122 units with 104 drivers and 99 units with 100 drivers. We buy single trucks out of fleets this size as well as whole groups of units. A list of VINs, with each unit’s location, is the easiest way to start a multi-truck sale.
Carriers here report 755 drivers who stay within 100 miles of base and 359 who travel beyond it, in figures filed with FMCSA. Mileage filings from 37 carriers to FMCSA give a median of 25,635 miles a year on each Moraine truck. If your truck parks in Moraine between local runs, tell us where it stands and who can hand over the keys.
Roadside stops logged by FMCSA from late August 2024 through late August 2026 checked 131 Moraine-based trucks, and their median model year was 2020. In that same FMCSA roadside inspection set, trucks ten or more years old made up 19.1 percent. A 2020 tractor and a much older straight truck both qualify, so open with the year, make and model of yours.
Keep the reports from those stops in the cab folder alongside service records. Copies of them, with the odometer reading and clear photos of each side of the truck, give us the full picture in one exchange.
Moraine bridges and the way in to your lot
Of Moraine’s 20 bridges in the Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory, just one carries a load posting, and not one has clearance below 14 feet. Our tow or driver still needs to know how to reach the truck. Tell us the cross street and whether the lot gate takes a full-length rig.
If the truck is behind a plant fence or inside a rail-served yard, let us know who signs visitors in. A name and a phone number for that contact is what turns an address into a collection we can schedule.
Moraine’s plant floors, job sites and Montgomery County fields
Manufacturing holds 3,944 of the 13,628 jobs located in Moraine in 2023, or 28.9 percent, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. The LEHD figures add 1,192 construction jobs, 979 in wholesale trade and 298 in transportation and warehousing. Box trucks and straight trucks that deliver to plants and distributors here are part of what we buy, along with the tractors.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns place 34 construction establishments around Moraine next to just 5 in warehousing. A contractor selling a dump truck, flatbed or crane truck should gather the title, the registration and any annual inspection sheets before reaching out.
Corn, soybeans and cattle lead on Montgomery County’s 789 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A grain truck or livestock hauler kept on a farm outside Moraine can be collected from the farm itself; just give us the road name and the barn or shed where it is stored.
The questions we get asked in Moraine
- Can you collect my dump truck from the gravel pit by West Carrollton where it is kept?A sand and gravel operation sits 1.9 miles south-west of Moraine in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and we collect from the pit or its yard directly. Tell us who manages access on site.
- Is a Moraine car hauler or driveaway truck something you take?Moraine has 16 carriers hauling motor vehicles and 15 doing driveaway or towaway work in FMCSA’s census, and their trucks are among those we purchase. Send photos of the deck and ramps along with the cab and the VIN.
- Who signs when a Moraine truck is titled to my business and not to me?With 41 private fleets in Moraine on FMCSA’s census, many trucks here are titled to a business. The person authorized to sign for that business signs the title, and we can walk you through the paperwork.
- Does a model year from ten or more years back still qualify?FMCSA roadside inspection records show 19.1 percent of inspected Moraine trucks were ten or more years old, and we buy trucks of every model year. Include the VIN and the Moraine address where the truck is parked.
