The coal dock eleven miles north-east
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists CCU Bellaire Dock, a coal preparation plant, 11.4 miles north-east of Powhatan Point. A tractor or dump truck that has hauled to or from that plant may still be parked on a lot near it rather than in the village. Give us the street address or the gate it sits behind, plus the name of whoever can let us in, and we will collect it from that spot.
For a truck that ran coal loads to Bellaire Dock, send a clear photo of the VIN plate and one of the odometer along with shots of the cab, the frame and the body. If the plant required site paperwork such as safety checks or gate passes, keep those with the title; they tell us where the truck has worked without you having to explain it twice.
West of the river village
CCU Belmont Strip and the haul roads out to it
Twenty-two and a half miles west of town, CCU Belmont Strip appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records as a coal mine. Trucks that work a strip operation are often left at the mine office or a contractor’s yard between jobs, so tell us which of the two holds yours and whether a loader or a gate code is needed to reach it.
If the truck is registered to a company that hauled for the Belmont Strip site, have whoever signs for that company ready with the title and a current registration. A seller who no longer lives near Powhatan Point can leave the truck where it stands out west and handle the sale from wherever they are now.
Stone to the south-west and north-west
Two quarries a little over twenty miles away
Browns Sandstone, LLC sits 21.1 miles south-west, and Uniontown Stone 21.6 miles north-west, both recorded as crushed-stone quarries by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Tri-axle dump trucks and the tractors that pull end-dump trailers are what aggregate work like that puts on the road, and either kind is a truck we buy.
Quarry trucks from Browns Sandstone or Uniontown Stone are easiest to arrange when we know the body type and the axle setup before we call. Write those down with the VIN, note whether a trailer goes with the tractor, and add a photo of each side so the listing of what you have matches what we find on arrival.
Belmont’s title counter up on National Road
In Ohio, titles go through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, which works through County Clerk of Courts title offices. The nearest one for Powhatan Point is the Belmont County Clerk of Courts Title Office, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 14.6 miles from the village at 52180 National Rd Suite A, St. Clairsville.
If the certificate has gone missing, make the trip to the Clerk of Courts counter in the county seat before the sale. Bring photo identification and the VIN, and if a lender’s lien is still shown on the record, bring the release letter as well so the new title comes out clear.
Cattle, milk and contractors around the village
Across Belmont County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 756 farms, with cattle, milk and equine operations at the top of its list. Around Powhatan Point that means livestock haulers, bulk milk tankers and straight trucks with stake beds, and a farm truck parked in a barn lot can be collected right there.
Construction is a small trade here: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns records three construction establishments. A contractor’s dump truck, flatbed or service body from one of those outfits is welcome, and having the registration card and any service invoices to hand lets the conversation start with the truck itself.
