Silverton’s nearest rail yards and the Sharonville ramp
McCullough, a rail yard on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain, lies 2.4 miles south-west of Silverton, with Clare 3.5 miles off in the opposite, south-easterly direction. A tractor that shuttles between those two yards is often parked near one of them, so give us the yard side and the gate it sits behind when you first get in touch.
Five and a half miles north, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Cincinnati - Sharonville rail intermodal ramp. If your day cab has pulled boxes off that ramp, keep the title, the current Ohio registration and any service book together so the paperwork for a Sharonville container tractor is in one place before we arrive.
Tankers and fuel
Liquid bulk and petroleum terminals south and west
A liquid bulk terminal sits 3.5 miles south of town, and Liquid Transfer Terminals, Inc. is 5.7 miles south-west, both on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. If your tractor has pulled tankers to either site, note which one and send pictures of the fifth wheel and the cab interior along with the outside shots.
Westward 4.6 miles, the Energy Information Administration records the Cincinnati North petroleum product terminal. If you hauled fuel from there and kept hazmat inspection sheets in the cab, leave them with the truck so the person handing it over at pickup can pass them along with the keys.
River and gravel
The Cincinnati port and Evans Gravel
Cincinnati’s port lies 6.5 miles south-west of Silverton, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ port listings. When a truck from the riverfront is parked on a dock lot, tell us who controls access so the collection is booked with them directly.
Evans Gravel appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a sand and gravel operation 5.8 miles south-east of Silverton. A dump truck kept at the pit can be collected there; mention the pit entrance and a phone contact for the site office.
Construction and plant jobs inside the city line
Construction fills 156 of the 788 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed in Silverton for 2023, nearly one in five. If your dump, stake body or service truck is registered to a contracting business, have whoever signs for the company ready with the title.
Manufacturing accounts for 61 of those Silverton jobs, or 7.7 percent, again from the LEHD counts. Box trucks and straight trucks from plant work can be collected at the loading dock where they sit; tell us the dock hours so pickup fits the shift.
Silverton’s county farms
Grain and livestock haulers across Hamilton County
Hamilton County has 322 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, where corn leads, followed by soybeans and then cattle. Grain trucks and livestock haulers on those farms often stay registered in the farm’s name, so check whose name the Ohio title carries before you call.
A truck that sits on one of those Hamilton County farms can be collected right where it stands in the field or barn; send the VIN, a few photos and directions to the farm lane so the driver finds it.
