Dumps loading at the pits just west of Sabina
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Main Melvin crushed-stone quarry 4.5 miles west of Sabina and the Bowersville crushed-stone quarry 7 miles to the north-west. A dump truck or tri-axle that loads at either pit is likely parked within a few minutes of the village, and that is where we would collect it. Send us the quarry or yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
South-west toward Lynchburg, Ohio Stone of Lynchburg, Inc. runs a dimension-stone quarry that the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 17.1 miles from town. Flatbeds that carry cut stone blocks from there work a different kind of load than the aggregate dumps closer in. Tell us the body type and the deck length, and photograph the bed, the cab and the VIN plate before you call.
Pits and the siding
Haul routes south toward Midland City and north to Xenia
Midland City’s rail yard appears on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 19.9 miles south-west of Sabina. A tractor that shuttles loads to that siding may be left at the yard rather than at home; tell us which lot it sits in and we will arrange collection there.
Two sand and gravel operations bracket the area on Mine Safety and Health Administration records: Ervin Hill Enterprises Inc, 21.8 miles south, and Phillips Companies Xenia, 23.1 miles north-west. If your truck splits its week between those pits, give us the address where it spends nights, along with the registration and any service log you keep in the cab.
Soybeans, corn and hogs
Hoppers and hog trailers on Sabina’s farm roads
Around Sabina, the 788 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts in Clinton County list soybeans, corn and hogs as their top products. Grain hoppers, straight trucks with grain beds and livestock trailers are all trucks we take. If yours is stored in a barn or machine shed on a farm, the farm address is enough for us to plan the pickup.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 12 of the active carriers based here hauling grain, feed and hay, and 10 carrying farm supplies. A farm truck that only moves at harvest still sells the same way as any other: have the title in your name, the current registration, and clear photos of the cab, frame and tires ready when you reach us.
Small fleets on short runs from Sabina
Of the 29 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Sabina, 21 run intrastate only, 8 run interstate, and 11 are private fleets moving their own goods. The same FMCSA records list general freight for 15 of them and motor vehicles for 10. If you run one of these outfits and are selling one unit, tell us which trailer or body goes with it.
The three biggest fleets registered here run 9, 8 and 6 power units, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, so most sales from Sabina are one or two trucks at a time. On the same census, 33 drivers work within 100 miles of base and 34 beyond it, and the median truck among the 9 carriers reporting mileage covers 26,668 miles a year. Have the odometer reading and VIN on hand for each truck you list.
Box trucks and dumps tied to Sabina workplaces
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 425 jobs located in Sabina, with manufacturing holding 127 of them, close to three in ten. Box trucks and tractors that serve plants and shops in town are part of what we buy; if yours is kept at a workplace lot rather than your home, tell us whose property it is on.
Construction accounts for 62 of those 425 jobs, a 14.6 percent share on the same LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 6 construction establishments. Dump trucks, roll-offs and utility bodies from contractors here qualify. Note any equipment mounted on the chassis, such as a crane, hoist or plow frame, when you describe the truck.
Where a replacement certificate comes from
Ohio titles are issued by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and the one serving Sabina is the Clinton County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 1850 Davids Drive Suite 111, Wilmington, 45177, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 11 miles from town. If the certificate is lost, that office issues the duplicate.
Sort the title out before you set a collection date, since we cannot take the truck without it. If a lender still shows on the certificate, bring the lien release with you to the Wilmington office and ask the clerk for a clear title in your name.
