Quarry trucks a few minutes from the village
Shelly Material’s Ostrander quarry lies 3.7 miles south of the village, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, which lists it as a crushed-stone operation. A tri-axle or end dump that loads there is probably sitting in a yard or driveway close by, and we arrange collection at that spot. Send the VIN, the plate number and a few photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab.
Four miles and a bit to the east, the Columbus Region Plant is a second crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, at 4.2 miles. If your truck has split its days between the two pits, tell us which body it carries and whether a pup or trailer goes with it. A truck and trailer sold together need both titles, so look out the trailer paperwork as well as the tractor’s.
Up north, Scioto Sand & Gravel sits 14.7 miles from Ostrander, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Gravel trucks that run that way are welcome too; give us the address where the truck is kept, whether it is behind a gate, and the name of whoever holds the key.
Racks and the armory road
Ostrander tank trucks on the run south to Columbus racks
The Energy Information Administration places a Columbus petroleum product terminal 11.6 miles south of Ostrander and another 15.7 miles to the south-east. Tank trucks and tractors that pull fuel trailers between those racks and farms around the village are trucks we buy. Have the registration and any annual inspection records together, because those answer most of what we would otherwise ask.
Farther along the same south-eastern line, NG Beightler Armory is a military installation 14.5 miles out on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If you are a driver who left service or a contractor whose work there has ended, the truck can stay where it is parked; give us a contact who can meet the collection crew at the gate.
Honda Intermodal A
Honda’s rail yards and the freight around them
Two rail yards carry the Honda name west of Ostrander on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: one at 15.4 miles and Honda Intermodal A at 16.2 miles. Day cabs that shuttle containers or parts between those yards fit what we purchase. Send the tractor’s VIN and odometer reading first, then the photos.
General freight is the cargo most often declared by Ostrander’s registered carriers, with seven of them naming it in FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck hauled general freight out of the village toward the rail yards or the interstate, a short note on the routes it ran helps us ask the right questions about it.
Village-registered fleets
Eighteen carriers on a village of about a thousand
Ostrander has 18 active carriers registered in FMCSA’s carrier census, against a population of 1,008. Twelve of them operate intrastate and six interstate, and nine are private fleets carrying their own goods rather than hauling for hire. A private fleet selling a truck needs the title in the business’s name and someone authorised to sign for the company.
The biggest fleet based here runs 28 power units with 27 drivers, by FMCSA’s count, and the next two run nine and six units. A small operator retiring one tractor and a fleet clearing several units go through the same steps: titles, keys and the address where each truck sits.
New registrations have been steady but small; FMCSA’s carrier census shows two new carriers in 2025 and one in 2024. Among five carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median was 39,342 miles a truck. That figure is a neutral one, so just give us the odometer reading as it stands.
Farm haulers across Delaware County fields
Around Ostrander, the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 728 farms in Delaware County, where soybeans, corn and hogs lead. Grain trucks and livestock haulers that serve those farms often stay parked on the farm itself, and that is where we collect them; a lane or a field gate is no obstacle as long as you tell us about it.
Four Ostrander carriers list farm supplies as cargo and two list grain, feed and hay, in FMCSA’s carrier census, while two more haul logs, poles, beams and lumber. If your straight truck or tractor moved feed or seed, mention the trailer or body it used, and have the title ready whether it is in your name or the farm’s.
The county seat office
Ostrander truck titles come from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, which hands that work to County Clerk of Courts title offices. For Ostrander owners that means the Delaware County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 2079 US Rt 23 N, Suite 1, Delaware, 43015, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles office search places 8.2 miles from the village. A lost title is replaced there; sort it out before the truck is collected.
Construction work is part of the local picture too: County Business Patterns, from the Census Bureau, records 11 construction establishments. A contractor selling a truck registered to the business should bring the company title and a signer with authority to that Delaware office if a duplicate is needed.
The questions we get asked in Ostrander
- Must my dump truck leave its spot by the Shelly quarry south of Ostrander for you to collect it?Shelly Material’s Ostrander quarry is 3.7 miles south of the village on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from yards near it. Keep the dump truck by the pit and pass us the yard address plus whoever unlocks it.
- Which office reissues a lost truck title for an Ostrander owner?The Delaware County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 2079 US Rt 23 N, Suite 1, Delaware, 8.2 miles from Ostrander, handles titles for the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Ostrander sellers should pick up that duplicate ahead of the collection.
- Our grain truck is titled to the family farm outside Ostrander; who signs for it?Delaware County has 728 farms in the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and plenty of trucks there are titled to the farm business. The person signing needs authority to sign for that business, and the title must be in the farm’s name as registered.
