Gravel pits and a coal plant toward Tuscarawas
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists American Sand & Gravel - Plant #4 about 8.2 miles south-east of New Franklin, and Rohr & Sons Nursery &Tree Farm, also logged as a sand and gravel operation, about 8.7 miles south. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either site can stay parked there; give us the pit name and the gate contact and we arrange collection at the pit itself.
Further out, at roughly 24.5 miles south, sits CCU Tuscarawas Strip, recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a coal preparation plant. If your tractor hauled to that plant, send the VIN, a clear photo of the data plate and the title holder’s name and we will begin the paperwork with those three items.
Rail sidings and fuel racks on the Akron side
Two rail yards named BRITTAIN and HILL appear in the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, at about 10.4 and 10.7 miles north-east of town. Drayage tractors working those yards are often left on a lessor’s lot, so tell us who controls the gate and whether the unit is still under a lease.
North-east again, the Energy Information Administration places a petroleum product terminal called AKRON about 11.2 miles away and another called TALLMADGE about 12.6 miles out. For a fuel tractor that loaded at those racks, have the registration and any annual inspection sheets in one folder; a tank trailer sold with it needs its own title in the same envelope.
Coil, lumber and general freight carriers of New Franklin
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 28 active carriers based in New Franklin, 16 of them interstate and 12 intrastate, with 9 operating as private fleets. A private fleet hauling its own goods sells the same way a for-hire outfit does: the name on the title signs, and we handle the rest from there.
General freight is the cargo listed by 21 of those carriers in the federal census, with machinery and large objects at 7, and lumber, logs and poles at 6, tied with metal sheets and coils at 6. A flatbed tractor set up for coils or lumber can be sold with its trailer or alone; tell us which, and include photos of the deck and securement gear.
Registrations keep coming: the same FMCSA census counts 4 new carriers in 2025 and 5 in 2024. If you started a business recently and are now selling its first truck, bring the operating authority paperwork with the title so the USDOT number on the door matches the seller.
Yard sizes, annual mileage and inspected model years
Among carriers registered here, FMCSA lists one fleet of 52 power units with 23 drivers, another of 27 units with 27 drivers, and a third of 12 units with 8 drivers. Selling several units from a yard like these works as one job: send a list of VINs with where each one is parked.
Nine local carriers report mileage to FMCSA, and their median comes to 33,979 miles per truck a year. Have the current odometer reading ready when you call, alongside the title and the latest registration.
Across 82 New Franklin trucks stopped between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2019.5, and 25.6 percent of those units were ten or more years old. Whatever the model year, a photo of the cab, the dash and each side of the truck lets us see what you have.
Posted bridges, contractors and Summit County farmland
Of the 10 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records around New Franklin, 2 carry posted load limits and none has clearance under 14 feet. When you send the pickup address, mention which road leads in, so the carrier we send plans a route that suits a loaded rollback.
Construction accounts for 233 of the 1,706 jobs located in New Franklin in 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with wholesale trade at 151 and manufacturing at 67. Building firms are thick on the ground too, with 91 construction establishments tallied for the area in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Contractors selling a dump body or a stake truck from a job site can leave it there; give us the site address and the foreman’s number.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture found 413 farms across Summit County, where corn ranks first, soybeans second and cattle third. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked on a county farm is collected from the farm lane, so tell us whether it sits near the barn or out by a field gate.
The questions we get asked in New Franklin
- My dump truck is parked at the American Sand & Gravel pit south-east of New Franklin. Does the dump truck have to leave that gravel site before you collect?American Sand & Gravel - Plant #4 is about 8.2 miles south-east of town, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from that site. Send the name of whoever opens that pit gate and which days someone is on site.
- What should I gather before selling a flatbed that hauled coils out of New Franklin?Metal sheets, coils and rolls are listed by 6 local carriers in FMCSA’s census, so a coil flatbed here is familiar ground. Have the title, the registration, the VIN and photos of the deck and chains ready.
- The truck worked the Akron fuel terminal. Does the tank trailer have to go with it?The AKRON petroleum product terminal sits about 11.2 miles north-east according to the Energy Information Administration, and tractors from there can be sold alone or with the trailer. Tell us which, and keep a separate title for the trailer if it is included.
