Westward tracks from the village
Hauling boxes from Maple Heights Intermodal
The North American Rail Network maps Maple Heights Intermodal 7.2 miles west of the village, and the same federal rail map places the Motor yard 7.9 miles to the south-west. A tractor or day cab that shuttles boxes off those tracks may spend its nights in Moreland Hills rather than at the ramp, so tell us which address it actually sits at.
If your tractor has hauled containers from Maple Heights, have the title, the current Ohio registration and a clear photo of the VIN plate on the door jamb before you call. With those three things in hand, we can set a pickup on your driveway or at the yard gate, whichever you prefer.
Tank racks near Moreland Hills
Tankers loading south-east, west and north-west
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named Aurora 9.9 miles south-east of Moreland Hills, and another, Cuyahoga, 11.3 miles to the west. Tankers and fuel delivery straight trucks that load at either rack are trucks we purchase; send pictures of the tank, the cab and the plate showing its specification.
Norfolk Southern TBT, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records as a liquid bulk terminal, lies 10.5 miles north-west. Hazmat haulers should keep their tank test reports and the cab card together with the title, since those papers travel with the vehicle when we collect it.
Collinwood
Chassis work out of Collinwood Yard
At 11.1 miles north-west sits the Collinwood Yard rail intermodal ramp in Cleveland, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Sleepers and day cabs that pull chassis from Collinwood often come home to driveways out here, and we can meet the truck wherever it is parked.
Give us the odometer reading, the engine make and a note on which trailer it usually pulls. Owner-operators leased onto a carrier should also bring the lease release, so the plate and the authority can be separated from the tractor at pickup.
Arms Sand & Gravel to the east
Arms Sand & Gravel, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, is 12.1 miles east of the village. Tri-axle dumps, roll-offs and end-dump tractors that work a pit like that one fit what we buy.
For a dump truck, photograph the body, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab, and say whether a plow mount or spreader is attached. If the truck is parked at the pit rather than at home, tell us the gate it is behind and who can let us in.
Village jobs, county farms
Workplaces in the village, growers in the county
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 565 jobs at workplaces inside Moreland Hills in 2023. Landscaping trucks, utility bodies and small box trucks belonging to people who work here are as welcome as a heavy tractor, and the same title and registration are all we need.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 104 farms in Cuyahoga County, with tomatoes, cut flowers and cultivated greens, and equine listed as the leading products. A stake-bed, a reefer box from a greenhouse run, or a horse-hauling pickup with a gooseneck hitch is something we pick up from the farm itself.
Signing over the truck
An Ohio title, lien papers and the cab binder
An Ohio title in your name is the main document; if it has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, so apply for it before you schedule the pickup. Where a lender still holds a lien, have the payoff letter or lien release ready so the title can be signed over cleanly.
Service invoices, DOT annual inspection sheets and any emissions paperwork help us understand the truck’s history. If a binder of records lives in the cab, leave it there; if you have nothing on paper, a list of what the truck has hauled is enough to begin.
The questions we get asked in Moreland Hills
- Will you collect a truck parked at a yard outside Moreland Hills?Maple Heights Intermodal sits 7.2 miles west and the Motor yard 7.9 miles south-west on the North American Rail Network, and we collect from yards like those as well as from a driveway in the village. Give us the street address and the gate details.
- Will you take a fuel tanker that fills at the Aurora or Cuyahoga rack?The Aurora terminal, 9.9 miles south-east on the Energy Information Administration’s list, and Cuyahoga, 11.3 miles west, both load tank trucks, and those tankers are trucks we purchase. Send the tank specification plate photo and recent test reports.
- My Ohio title has gone missing; can a Moreland Hills truck still be sold?Ohio titles are reissued by the state’s title agency, so request a duplicate in your name before pickup. Should a bank still hold a lien, ask it for a signed release before the tow truck arrives in Moreland Hills.
- Do you take dump trucks that work the gravel pit east of town?Arms Sand & Gravel, 12.1 miles east per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, is the kind of pit our dump trucks come from. Photograph the body and hoist, and tell us where the truck is parked.
