Dump trucks between New Concord and the pits
Cumberland Limestone LLC, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 8.8 miles south-east of town, is the nearest pit on the map. A dump truck or tri-axle that spends its shifts between that quarry face and county job sites can stay parked at the yard when you sell it; give us the gate contact and the spot where it sits.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records S & S Aggregate, a sand and gravel operation 14 miles south-west, and ROCKY ENTERPRISE LLC, another crushed-stone quarry 15.9 miles to the east. If your truck loads at one of these, photograph the bed, the frame rails and the cab, and note which site it last worked so the pickup goes to the right gate.
North toward Newcomerstown, 19.4 miles away, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists one more sand and gravel operation. Aggregate trucks from that direction are collected where they stand, so tell us the road and whether a lowboy or a tow can reach the lot.
Fuel haulers loading up past Coshocton
The Energy Information Administration places COSHOCTON TERMINAL, a petroleum product terminal, 15.1 miles north-west of New Concord. A fuel tractor or straight tanker that loads there should come with its registration, the VIN plate photographed and any tank inspection certificates you still hold.
Five local carriers list oilfield equipment as a cargo they haul, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, so a winch truck or flatbed set up for well-site work is a familiar sight here. Send a list of the bodies, booms or tanks mounted on the chassis along with your photos, and we can ask the right questions from the start.
Freight and grain
Twenty-six active carriers in a small college town
Box trucks and van trailers make up much of that work, and whichever you run, the title, current registration and a clear set of photos are the three things to gather first.
Machinery and large objects appear on 5 carrier registrations and grain, feed and hay on 4, by the federal motor carrier census. A lowboy tractor that moves equipment or a hopper rig that runs to the elevator each fits in that mix; tell us which trailer, if any, goes with the sale.
Nineteen of the town’s carriers stay inside Ohio and 7 cross state lines, with 14 hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. For an in-state Ohio truck, the Ohio title and registration are usually the whole file; an interstate unit should also come with its IRP cab card if you have it.
Fourteen-truck yard
From a mid-sized yard down to owner-operators
The three biggest operations here, according to FMCSA records, run 14, 11 and 5 power units, with 7, 17 and 4 drivers respectively. If you are selling several trucks out of one of these yards, a list of VINs with each unit’s title status lets us look at the whole group in one pass.
New entrants are few: the federal carrier census shows two carriers registering in 2025 and one in 2024. A newer owner-operator selling a first truck needs the same things as a long-standing fleet: the title in your name, the registration and a photo set taken in daylight.
A median of 16,951 miles a truck each year comes from the 10 New Concord carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA. That is a neutral figure; put the current odometer reading in your first message so we start from the actual truck.
Local driving and the roads out of town
In FMCSA’s carrier census, 73 drivers from New Concord carriers stay within a hundred-mile radius and 10 work beyond it. Most trucks here are therefore likely to be home by evening at a shop or yard in the county, which is where we collect them.
The National Bridge Inventory, kept by the Federal Highway Administration, lists six bridges near town, one of them load-posted and none under a fourteen-foot clearance. Mention the route to your yard if it crosses that posted span, so the carrier sent for the truck is sized to it.
South of town, 23.6 miles out, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics marks the NG McConnelsville Training Site, a military installation. A truck stored on a lot down that way can be picked up from there; send the address and a contact who can let us in.
In Muskingum County, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles handles titles through its County Clerk of Courts title offices rather than a single state counter. For a New Concord truck, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles lists the Muskingum County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 22 N. Fifth Street, Zanesville, 43701, about 14.7 miles west, in the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles title office search.
If the title is missing, a duplicate from that Zanesville clerk’s office is the first step before a sale. Bring your photo ID and the VIN, and if a lender held a lien, the release letter too, so the new title comes back in your name alone.
Already holding the title? Leave the back unsigned until we have agreed the sale, and send a photo of the front so we can match the VIN to the truck before pickup.
Corn, cattle, crews
College-town jobs and Muskingum farm lanes
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 1,506 jobs in New Concord in 2023, and transportation and warehousing account for 215 of them, a 14.3 percent share. A delivery van or day cab from that sector is the kind of unit we see from here; have the service records in a folder if you kept them.
Around New Concord, Muskingum County holds 1,301 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, cattle and soybeans at the top. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked on one of those farms is collected from the farm lane, so tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a tow.
Seven construction establishments operate in the area, per the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and their dump trucks and flatbeds often sit at a contractor’s yard between jobs. Include the yard address and the hours someone is there.
