Two pits by Ross
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Ross Pit, a sand and gravel operation, 1.4 miles south-west of Ross, and Ashcraft Sand And Gravel Incorporated 2.3 miles to the south. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that load at those two pits are often parked at a yard or a driveway close by, and we collect from wherever yours sits.
If your truck hauled aggregate out of either pit, send us the VIN, the body type and a few photos of the bed, the frame and the cab. Note whether it carries a lift axle or a pup trailer, so we know what we are coming to load.
Builders and plants make up much of the local work
Of the 501 jobs located in Ross in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 114 in manufacturing and 103 in construction, together a little over 43 percent of the total. Flatbeds, stake trucks and dump bodies serve both kinds of work, and we take all of them.
Transportation and warehousing accounted for 56 of those jobs, an 11.2 percent share in the same LEHD figures for 2023. If your tractor or box truck runs routes from a Ross address, tell us whether it is kept at home or at a shared lot, and who can hand over the keys on the day.
Rail and fuel to the south-east
Container ramps and a fuel terminal toward Cincinnati
East of Ross by 13.2 miles, the Sharonville intermodal ramp in Cincinnati is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, which also lists the Queensgate Yard ramp 14.8 miles to the south-east. Day cabs that shuttle containers to those ramps are the kind of tractor we buy, and the VIN plus the current odometer reading is the place to begin.
The CINCINNATI NORTH petroleum product terminal is 13.8 miles south-east of Ross on the Energy Information Administration’s list, and the Port of Cincinnati follows at 14.5 miles in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If you pulled tankers or port loads, have the registration and any terminal or inspection paperwork together before you call.
Two yards eleven miles out
New River to the north-east, Valley Junction to the south-west
Head north-east from Ross for 11.3 miles and you reach the NEW RIVER rail yard, mapped in the North American Rail Network by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. VALLEY JUNCTION, in the opposite direction, is 11.4 miles south-west on that same North American Rail Network map.
Trucks that work rail-served sites on either side of town may be left near the yard rather than at home. Give us the street address and a phone number for whoever controls the gate, and we plan the pickup around that spot.
Grain and hog trucks from the surrounding farms
Around Ross, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 888 farms in Butler County, with corn, soybeans and hogs as the leading products. Grain trucks, hopper trailers and livestock haulers from those farms are trucks we purchase.
A farm truck is usually found in a barn lot or field edge, not a paved yard. Tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a rollback or a tow tractor, and send photos taken in daylight that show the whole truck from each side.
Fairfield Center
A Fairfield title desk for Ross owners
Titles in Ohio are issued through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles by County Clerk of Courts title offices. For Ross, the nearest is the Butler County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 530 Wessel Dr Suite H Fairfield Center, Fairfield, 45014, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 5.3 miles from the village.
If the title is missing or still shows a lienholder, start the replacement at that Fairfield office before pickup. Keep the signed title, the registration and a photo ID together, and check that the name on all three matches.
