Dry vans, lowboys and log rigs out of Pataskala

General freight is the cargo checked by 81 of the 143 Pataskala-based trucking firms that FMCSA’s carrier census shows as active. If your box truck or tractor ran dry van or flatbed loads for one of those outfits, send the VIN, the title and a few photos of the cab and the deck so we can see the truck as it sits today.

Machinery and large objects appear on 25 Pataskala carrier filings, motor vehicles on 22, and logs, poles, beams and lumber on 19, by the count in FMCSA’s carrier census. Lowboys, car haulers and log trailers with their tractors are all trucks we collect, so tell us what the rig pulled and whether the trailer goes with it.

Of those 143 carriers, the federal census records 95 as intrastate-only and 48 as crossing state lines, while 43 run private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet truck usually carries a company title, so have the officer who signs for the business ready when we arrange the paperwork.

New authorities and fleet sizes around Pataskala

In 2025 the FMCSA carrier census added 15 new Pataskala carriers, after 12 the year before. If you started a one-truck operation in that window and are now stepping away from it, keep your USDOT number handy; it helps us match the truck to its registration.

Three fleets here stand out by size in FMCSA’s census: one lists 398 power units and 604 drivers, another 296 power units and 153 drivers, and a third 59 power units with 76 drivers. Whether you are selling one tractor or a group of units from a fleet that size, give us a list of VINs and where each truck is parked, and we plan the collections from that list.

Drivers tied to Pataskala carriers split 477 working within 100 miles and 1,087 beyond it, per FMCSA’s carrier census, and the median truck among 43 reporting carriers logs 20,000 miles a year. A truck that spends its weeks on the road can be collected wherever it ends up, so tell us the yard or truck stop where it will be.

Inspectors stopped 225 trucks belonging to Pataskala carriers from September 2024 through August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give 2021 as the median model year of that group. Have the registration card and the latest annual inspection sheet with the title so the year on paper matches the year on the VIN plate.

Of those 225 stopped trucks, 17.78 percent carried a model year ten or more years back, according to the same FMCSA inspection files. We collect trucks of every model year, and photos of the service records kept in the cab can travel with the rest of your photos.

Sand, fuel and rail on the edges of Pataskala

Brookside Mine, a sand and gravel pit 6.9 miles north-east of Pataskala is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of mine sites. Dump trucks and tri-axles that hauled aggregate out of that pit can be collected at the pit gate or a contractor’s lot, so give us the site address and a contact who can let us in.

Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration listings near town: HEATH, 13.3 miles east, and COLUMBUS, 15.9 miles west. For a fuel tanker tractor that served those racks, note the tank trailer’s own VIN and title separately from the tractor’s.

West and south-west of town, the North American Rail Network shows the BANNON rail yard 13.6 miles out and WATKINS ROAD 14.5 miles out, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics adds the Norfolk Southern TBT and Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminals at 13.4 and 15.6 miles. A drayage tractor parked near any of those yards stays where it is; we come to it.

Crews, plants and wholesalers in town

Construction holds 777 of the 4,627 jobs located in Pataskala in 2023, a 16.8 percent share in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Dump trucks, mixers and flatbeds from those crews are welcome here; tell us the body type and whether any equipment mounted on it is part of the sale.

Around Pataskala, 77 builders and contractors sit beside just 7 warehousing businesses in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor closing out a job can list every truck in one message, with the yard where each one is kept.

Manufacturing accounts for 393 local jobs, wholesale trade for 128 and transportation and warehousing for 59, in the LEHD figures for 2023. Straight trucks used for parts runs between plants are part of what we buy, and the title in the business’s name is the one paper we need first.

Load-posted spans and corn, soybean and hog farms

When we plan a pickup on a farm road, tell us the route the truck normally takes in and out so the collection truck uses the same one.

Corn, soybeans and hogs lead output on Licking County’s 1,532 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and livestock haulers parked in a barn or a field lane can be collected right there; send a photo of where the truck stands and the title from the farm’s records.
