Sand, gravel and coal sites near the Tuscarawas River town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a sand and gravel operation named Newcomerstown just 2.9 miles west of town, and a second one, PLANT #2, 8 miles to the north-east. A dump truck or tri-axle that loads at either pit is likely parked close to the scale house or a yard off the haul road, so give us that spot when you get in touch and we will collect it there.
Further out, Stonecreek Mine, a coal preparation plant, is 13.1 miles north-east and Vail Mine, a coal mine, is 16.6 miles east, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your tractor has hauled coal between those sites, send the VIN, a photo of the door plate and the title, and tell us which gate to come through.
North of town, Kimble Clay, Limestone Quarry and Mill and Sugarcreek Operations both sit 16.3 miles away according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A truck that works the stone and clay run up there can stay on site; we only need a contact who can let a driver onto the property.
A fuel terminal to the west, a rail yard to the north
COSHOCTON TERMINAL, a petroleum product terminal, is 14.2 miles west per the Energy Information Administration. A fuel tractor that loads there should come with its title and registration, and if the tank trailer is part of the sale, list its VIN separately so both units are covered.
Up north at 14.5 miles, the SUGARCREEK rail yard appears in the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Day cabs that shuttle loads to and from a yard like that often sit in a drop lot between runs; tell us the lot address and whether a gate code is needed.
Who runs trucks out of this town
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 42 active carriers based in Newcomerstown, with 22 hauling general freight, 12 hauling machinery and large objects, 9 hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 9 moving motor vehicles. Whether you run a flatbed for equipment, a log truck or a car hauler, have the title in the registered owner’s name before we schedule a pickup.
Of those carriers, 23 run intrastate, 18 run interstate and 19 are private fleets hauling their own goods, again per the federal carrier census. A private fleet selling one unit should have a person with signing authority ready, along with the company’s registration paperwork.
Three new carriers registered here in 2024 and three more in 2025, by FMCSA’s records. If you started a small operation recently and are now selling a truck, keep the purchase paperwork and current registration together for us.
Newcomerstown fleets by power units, annual miles and age
The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s census here hold 25, 21 and 17 power units, with 45, 16 and 10 drivers. A fleet that size selling several trucks at once can send one list of VINs and unit locations, and we will plan the collections from it.
Sixteen local carriers report a median of 31,500 miles a year per truck in the carrier census, and drivers split 104 working within 100 miles and 43 working beyond it. Note the odometer reading in your first message, alongside where the truck is parked.
FMCSA roadside inspection records for 40 trucks inspected between September 2024 and August 2026 give a median model year of 2015, with 57.5% of them ten or more years old. Include the model year and the engine make when you describe your truck.
Plant jobs, contractors and the county’s milk and corn farms
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 989 jobs in Newcomerstown, 184 of them in manufacturing (18.6%) and 62 in wholesale trade (6.3%). A box truck or straight truck that delivers to plants and distributors in town can be collected from the loading dock it uses, with the owner or a manager on hand to sign.
Contractors account for 9 establishments in this Tuscarawas County town, a figure from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A builder selling a dump body or a stake-bed truck should bring the title and any lien release to the handover.
Across Tuscarawas County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,154 farms, with milk, corn and cattle leading sales. A milk tanker, grain truck or livestock hauler parked at a farm can stay there; just tell us the farm road and a time someone will be around.
Bridges, paperwork and a lost title
Two of the 7 Newcomerstown bridges in the National Bridge Inventory carry posted load limits, and not one of the seven clears less than 14 feet. Tell us the route into your yard so our driver can plan around the two posted spans.
If the title is missing, apply for a duplicate through the state’s title agency before the sale. Have the VIN, your registration card and photo ID ready, and let us know if a lender still holds the title so the release can be arranged.
