Amrize kiln country
The cement plant and the quarries around Paulding
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Amrize Paulding Plant, a cement plant 2.8 miles north-west of town. A tractor or bulk hauler that has run cement out of that gate can be collected from the yard where it is parked; send us the address and the name of whoever holds the keys.
South of town, Scott Quarry sits 13.7 miles out and Ridge Township Quarry and Mill 20.3 miles out, both crushed-stone operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Dump trucks and aggregate tractors that have shuttled stone from those pits are the kind of equipment we purchase, so photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab before you get in touch.
To the north-west, WEBER SAND & GRAVEL INC. is a sand and gravel operation 22 miles from Paulding, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck is kept near that pit rather than in town, tell us which road it is on and whether a lowboy can turn in beside it.
Soybean and dairy loads
Hauling for Paulding County’s soybean, milk and corn farms
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 662 farms in Paulding County, with soybeans, milk and corn at the top of the list. Grain trucks, feed haulers and milk tankers that work those farms can be picked up at the farm itself; leave the truck in the shed or yard and give us the farm’s road address.
Of the 35 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Paulding, 13 list farm supplies as a cargo and 11 list grain, feed and hay. If your truck hauls seasonally, have the title and the registration together before harvest so the sale is not waiting on paperwork while the fields are busy.
Grain-belt haulers
Flatbeds, lowboys and private fleets on Paulding’s register
General freight is the cargo most often listed by Paulding carriers, at 16 of the 35 in FMCSA’s carrier census, with 11 also hauling machinery and large objects. For a flatbed or a lowboy tractor used on equipment moves, a note of what was carried and the trailer it pulled helps us understand the truck before we look at it.
That same census shows 24 interstate operators, 11 that stay inside Ohio and 21 private fleets hauling their own goods. Fleets registered here range up to 79 power units with 80 drivers, and others run 30 and 13 power units, according to FMCSA. Selling several trucks at once is something we handle; send a list with each VIN and where each unit is parked.
FMCSA’s census also records 72 drivers working within 100 miles of their base and 174 running beyond it, and a median of 14,000 miles a year per truck across the 21 carriers reporting mileage. Write down the current odometer reading and include it with your first message.
The 2021 median on Paulding’s inspected trucks, per FMCSA
Roadside inspectors stopped 106 trucks run by Paulding carriers from September 2024 through August 2026, and in those FMCSA roadside inspection records half the cabs were model year 2021 or newer. Whatever the year of yours, the VIN and a clear photo of the door sticker let us confirm the exact model and spec.
In those same FMCSA roadside inspection records, about 10 percent of the trucks inspected were ten or more model years old. Older and newer units are both on our list; inspection reports and service records, if you kept them, give us the truck’s history in your own words.
NDR yard, tank terminal
Rail and liquid bulk within reach of town
The North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the DEFIANCE (NDR) rail yard 14.6 miles north-east of Paulding. A tractor that has worked transload runs out of that yard can be collected where it sits, as long as someone can open the gate for us.
Southward, Van Wert Terminal LLC is a liquid bulk terminal 19.5 miles from town on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list. Tank tractors that have served that terminal are welcome; tell us which trailers the truck pulled and whether it is parked at the terminal or at home.
Plant jobs and titles
Work in Paulding and the papers to have ready
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,491 jobs in Paulding, 201 of them in manufacturing and 81 in transportation and warehousing. Ten construction firms appear for the area in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, the kind of contractors whose dump trucks and flatbeds stay close to home. Trucks from any of that work, from plant shuttles to contractor dump trucks, can be sold where they are kept.
Have the title in the seller’s name, the current registration and any service records together before we arrange collection.
The questions we get asked in Paulding
- Scott Quarry is where my dump truck sits now; will you pick it up from the quarry?Scott Quarry lies 13.7 miles south of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and a truck parked there or at Ridge Township can be picked up on site. Tell us whose ground it is on so the visit can be cleared with them.
- My grain truck only comes out for the Paulding County harvest; is that a truck you take?Eleven Paulding carriers list grain, feed and hay in FMCSA’s carrier census, and seasonal grain trucks like theirs are part of what we buy. Send the VIN, photos and the odometer reading, and we can collect it from the farm.
- The Ohio title for my truck has gone missing; how do I sell it from Paulding?Paulding owners request a replacement title from the state’s title agency, and that can be underway while you send us the VIN and photos. Mention that the duplicate is on order when you first reach out.
