Limestone north and south-east
Cedarville Limestone and Bowersville, each under seven miles out
Cedarville Limestone, a crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 6.1 miles north of Shawnee Hills. If your dump truck or tri-axle hauls from that pit, tell us whether it sits at home in town or on the quarry property; collection from a working site is arranged with whoever runs the gate.
Heading south-east instead, the Bowersville quarry is 6.7 miles away in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration listing. Photograph a truck that runs stone from there in daylight: the cab, the bed or body, the frame rails and each axle, so what we see lines up with what you tell us on the phone.
Owners who alternate between both pits can send one message covering the truck’s VIN, the name on the title and where it will be parked on collection day. That is everything we need to start, whichever quarry the truck last loaded at.
Gravel past Ledbetter
Sand and gravel pits past the Xenia line
Phillips Companies Xenia and Xenia Sand & Gravel are two sand and gravel operations west of Shawnee Hills, at 10.8 and 11 miles, on Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Gravel haulers and roll-off trucks tied to those pits can be picked up from the yard or from your own driveway; give us the address that applies and a phone number for whoever can unlock it.
If the truck spends weekdays at one of those pits and weekends back home, pick the spot that is easier for a tow or a driver to reach and tell us which it is. Having the registration card in the cab on the day saves a second trip.
Bulk powder
Bulk cement loads out of the Fairborn kiln site
To the north-west, 13 miles from town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Fairborn Cement Plant. Pneumatic tank tractors and ready-mix trucks that load there are among the equipment we buy, so mention the trailer or drum type when you first describe the truck.
For a tractor that has pulled bulk cement, keep the service log and any inspection reports together with the title. Those records give us the truck’s history directly instead of leaving it to guesswork from photos.
Gates and a Dayton yard
Flatbeds behind base gates, day cabs at the Dayton rail yard
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places two military installations within reach of Shawnee Hills: Springfield Beckley, 14 miles north, and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, 18.1 miles north-west. Box trucks and flatbeds that deliver onto a base may be parked behind a gate; if yours is, tell us before collection so a visitor pass or an escort can be sorted out.
Farther west, a rail yard in Dayton sits 21.8 miles from town according to the North American Rail Network, which the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Day cabs that shuttle containers or trailers out of that yard can be collected wherever they are parked, in Dayton or back in Greene County.
Grain, soybeans and hogs on surrounding farms
Greene County’s 897 farms, counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, put corn, soybeans and hogs at the top of what grows on the land surrounding Shawnee Hills. Grain trucks, hopper-bottom tractors and livestock haulers parked in a barn lot or a field edge are fine where they stand; describe the ground so we bring the right equipment.
A hog hauler or grain truck on a Shawnee Hills farm may carry a parent’s name, a sibling’s or a partnership’s on its title rather than yours. Check whose name is printed on the title before you reach out, and if it belongs to someone else, have that person ready to sign.
A missing certificate and the Xenia clerk’s counter
Ohio titles come through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, which issues them at County Clerk of Courts title offices. For Shawnee Hills, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles lists the Greene County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 601 Ledbetter Rd., Suite B, Xenia, 45385, 8.3 miles from town.
If the title has gone missing, order a duplicate from that Xenia office before we arrange collection. A lienholder named on the title will also need to release it, so ask the lender for the release letter at the same time.
Builders are part of the local truck count as well: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 12 construction establishments for the area, and their dump trucks and flatbeds go through the same Xenia title office when paperwork needs replacing.
The questions we get asked in Shawnee Hills
- The tri-axle is kept inside Cedarville Limestone’s quarry gate. Does it need hauling out to Shawnee Hills first?Cedarville Limestone is 6.1 miles north of Shawnee Hills on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from the quarry itself. Give us the site contact who controls access so the pickup can be arranged with them.
- Which Xenia counter replaces a Shawnee Hills truck title that has gone missing?The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles lists the Greene County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 601 Ledbetter Rd., Suite B, Xenia, 8.3 miles from Shawnee Hills. Request the duplicate at that counter before collection.
- Our box truck runs deliveries onto Wright-Patterson and stays parked inside the fence there. Is collection on the base possible?Wright-Patterson sits 18.1 miles north-west of Shawnee Hills in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and a truck behind its gate can be collected once access is cleared. Tell us early who can sponsor a visitor pass, or move it to an off-base lot.
