Coal, clay and gravel a few miles out of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the KIMBLE #1 coal mine 3 miles north-west of New Philadelphia and the Stonecreek Mine coal preparation plant 4 miles to the south-west. A dump truck or tractor that hauls between those two sites is likely to be parked close to one of them when we come for it, so give us the gate address and the name of whoever holds the key.
To the south-east, MIDVALE SAND & GRAVEL is 4.1 miles away, and Kimble Clay, Limestone Quarry and Mill sits 4.4 miles west, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump trailers that load at pits like these can be collected right from the quarry lot; photos of the bed, the hoist and the VIN plate tell us which unit we are looking at.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places the CCU Tuscarawas Strip preparation plant 8.8 miles north-west, PLANT #2 sand and gravel 9.7 miles south and Sugarcreek Operations, an industrial-mineral mine, 10.9 miles west. Name the site your truck works from, and the pickup gets planned for that lot.
The Dover yard and the freight around it
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the DOVER rail yard 3.4 miles north-west of New Philadelphia. A tractor that shuttles loads to and from that yard can stay where it sits between runs; send us the street address and we meet it there.
Of the 98 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census records here, 50 list general freight, 21 list machinery and large objects, 15 list motor vehicles and 14 list driveaway or towaway work. Lowboys, car haulers and tow units all fit that list, and for each one the title, the current registration and a photo of the odometer are the three things to have on hand.
Local hauling, private fleets and small operators
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 73 New Philadelphia carriers as intrastate and 25 as interstate, and 48 of the 98 run private fleets carrying their own goods. A business that owns a truck for its own deliveries sells it the same way an owner-operator does: the titled owner signs, and if that owner is a company, bring a letter showing who can sign for it.
Drivers based here split 150 inside a 100-mile radius and 85 beyond it, according to the federal carrier census. Across 30 reporting carriers, that census puts the median at 14,230 miles per truck a year. A truck that stays mostly in the county is usually parked at the shop or the owner’s home, and that address is where we collect it.
The three biggest local fleets in FMCSA’s census run 47 power units with 13 drivers, 12 units with 11 drivers and 11 units with 9 drivers. If you manage one of those yards and want to sell several units at once, list each VIN with its title status and we will work through them together.
Registrations here have picked up: FMCSA’s census shows 12 new carriers in 2025 against 3 in 2024. A new owner selling a truck bought in the last year or two should keep the bill of sale from that purchase with the title.
Model years on trucks stopped here
Federal roadside inspection records list 27 trucks from New Philadelphia carriers inspected between September 2024 and July 2026, with a median model year of 2013, and FMCSA’s roadside data puts 51.85 percent of them at ten or more model years old.
Whatever its model year, send the inspection reports and service records you have along with the photos. Those FMCSA roadside records are tied to the VIN, so the VIN plate photo is the one picture we ask for every time.
Clearances between town and the quarry lots
A rollback or a tractor with a lowboy can reach yards in town on those structures, so the thing to tell us is the access at the lot itself: a gate width, a soft driveway or a tight turn.
If the truck sits on a farm lane or behind a quarry fence, describe the last stretch of the route and mark the spot on a map when you send photos. Mention any pasture gate, gravel lane or quarry haul road in your first message.
Factory floors, job sites and Tuscarawas dairy country
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 9,072 jobs in New Philadelphia in 2023, with 1,099 of them in manufacturing, 310 in construction, 193 in wholesale trade, 117 in transportation and warehousing and 80 in mining and quarrying. Box trucks from a plant dock, flatbeds from a building site and dumps from a quarry are all trucks we collect from the place they work.
New Philadelphia builders account for 45 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor selling a dump, a stake bed or a crew truck should have the title in the company name ready, plus the registration card from the cab.
Grain trucks, livestock haulers and milk tankers parked on a farm can be collected from the barnyard; tell us whether the title sits with the farm or with a family member.
The questions we get asked in New Philadelphia
- My tractor shuttles loads to the Dover rail yard. Must I bring it into New Philadelphia before you collect it?The DOVER rail yard is 3.4 miles north-west of town on the North American Rail Network, close enough that we collect the tractor wherever it is parked between runs. Send the address with your photos.
- Will you take a 2013 tractor from a New Philadelphia carrier?A 2013 model year is the median for the 27 local trucks in FMCSA roadside inspection records, a typical truck for New Philadelphia. Send the VIN, the title and a set of photos showing the cab, frame and VIN plate.
