Two rail yards and the Heath fuel terminal
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, puts the Newark West yard 1.6 miles south-east of town and a second yard named Newark 2.4 miles east. If your tractor shuttles freight to either yard, it may well be parked close to the tracks when you call; give us the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
South-west toward Heath, the Energy Information Administration records a petroleum product terminal 4.1 miles from Newark. A tank-trailer tractor that loads there can be collected at the terminal lot or at your shop, whichever you prefer. Have the title in hand and a copy of the current registration so the paperwork lines up with the VIN on the door.
Gravel pits and limestone quarries around Licking County
Sand and gravel come out of the St Louisville Plant, 5.9 miles north, and the Brookside Mine, 10.6 miles west, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors tied to those pits are among the trucks we take; photograph the bed, the frame and the cab, and note which pit it ran to.
Further out, Pleasant Valley Limestone sits 16.5 miles east and Maysville Materials 21.7 miles south-east, each a crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, while the Select Materials Millwood operation, an industrial-mineral mine, lies 23.6 miles north-east. A truck kept at one of those quarry yards stays there for collection; you can sign the sale from Newark or anywhere else.
The carriers based in Newark and their freight
According to FMCSA’s carrier census, 160 active carriers are based in Newark, and 87 of them list general freight, 26 motor vehicles, 25 machinery and large objects and 19 dry bulk commodities. Whatever you haul, send the cargo type with your first message so our questions start from the right trailer.
Of those carriers, FMCSA counts 121 operating intrastate, 36 crossing state lines and 61 running private fleets that move their own goods. The same carrier census shows 13 new carriers registering here in 2024 and another 13 in 2025. If you bought a truck to start your own authority and are now closing it, keep your USDOT number handy; it helps match the truck to its records.
Drivers working for Newark carriers number 492 staying within 100 miles and 252 going beyond, per FMCSA. FMCSA mileage filings from 47 local carriers give a median of 23,542 miles per truck each year. Write down the odometer reading before you contact us, along with the VIN.
Small owners and three bigger fleets
FMCSA’s carrier census lists the three biggest Newark fleets at 195 power units with 160 drivers, 86 power units with 57 drivers, and 26 power units with 20 drivers. A fleet thinning out several units at once can send us one list of VINs with the yard address for each.
Across 193 trucks stopped for roadside checks in Licking County’s seat between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA inspection records show a median model year of 2021, with 18.1 percent at ten years or older. Whatever year yours is, the model year on the title is the one we go by, so check that it matches the registration.
Factory jobs, building sites and local bridges
Newark held 21,302 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts: 2,278 of them in manufacturing, 969 in construction, 458 in wholesale trade and 347 in transportation and warehousing. A box truck or flatbed that served a plant floor or a wholesale dock can be collected from that loading bay if the owner allows access.
Newark’s 106 construction establishments, as tallied in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, keep dump and stake-bed trucks parked on job sites around town. A contractor’s truck is fine to sell where it sits; tell us how a tow rig would reach it.
On the National Bridge Inventory, Newark has 54 bridges, one of them load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. Tell us the exact address where the truck is so our driver plans the route in.
Grain and hog hauling in Licking County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,532 farms in Licking County, with corn, soybeans and hogs as the leading products. Grain trucks and livestock haulers that work those farms are trucks we buy, and they can be picked up from the farm itself.
If a farm truck has been titled under a family member or the farm’s name, gather the title and whoever’s signature it needs before we arrange collection, so the sale closes with one visit to the barn.
The questions we get asked in Newark
- Our dump truck sits at Pleasant Valley Limestone, east of Newark. Does it need hauling into town first?It can stay put: the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists that quarry 16.5 miles east of Newark, and we collect from yards like it. Send the yard address and the name of the person who opens the quarry gate.
- Can I sell a tractor that loads at the Heath fuel terminal?You can; the Energy Information Administration places the Heath petroleum product terminal 4.1 miles south-west of Newark, so send the VIN, title and photos and tell us whether the truck sits there or at your shop.
- Will you collect a corn or hog truck straight from a Licking County farm?We will: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,532 farms in the county, led by corn, soybeans and hogs, and farm trucks are part of what we buy, picked up at the farm.
