Ramp and yard west
Sharonville’s ramp and rail yard, five miles west
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Cincinnati, OH - Sharonville rail intermodal ramp 5.1 miles west of Sixteen Mile Stand. A day cab or sleeper that pulls boxes off that ramp is a truck we buy, and we can collect it from a lot near the ramp as readily as from a driveway in town. Give us the VIN, the odometer reading and the lot’s address, and say who holds the gate key.
One-tenth of a mile further on, at 5.2 miles west, sits the SHARONVILLE rail yard, as listed in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Yard tractors and drayage units that shuttle between the yard and the ramp qualify too. Photograph the cab, the frame rails, the fifth wheel and each tire, and send those pictures with the registration so we see the same tractor you describe.
Two sand and gravel operations past the county line road
Records kept by the Mine Safety and Health Administration show L & I PIT & MILL eight miles north-east of town and Oeder & Sons Sand & Gravel half a mile beyond it, at 8.5 miles. Tri-axle dumps, end dumps and the tractors that pull aggregate trailers out of pits like these all fit what we purchase. If yours is still parked at one of the two operations, tell us which one and who on site can let our driver in.
Aggregate trucks often change hands with a stack of loose paperwork, so gather the title, current registration and any service log before you call. For a dump body or a trailer sold along with the tractor, list each serial number separately; name any hoist, tarp system or pup trailer at the outset so the paperwork covers all of it.
Tankers south-west
Liquid bulk and fuel terminals to the south and south-west
A liquid bulk terminal stands 9.8 miles south of Sixteen Mile Stand, and Liquid Transfer Terminals, Inc. sits 12.8 miles south-west, both on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list of freight facilities. Tankers that load at terminals of that kind are on our list. Tell us what product the trailer last carried and whether you hold its wash-out ticket, and keep its inspection papers with the title.
Fuel loads around here run through CINCINNATI NORTH, a petroleum product terminal the Energy Information Administration lists 11.1 miles south-west of Sixteen Mile Stand. Fuel tractors and the tank trailers behind them can be collected wherever they are parked between loads. Send the trailer’s plate number alongside the tractor’s VIN, since the two units may carry separate registrations.
Second yard
McCullough yard and the routes south-west
Southwest of town by 9.5 miles, the North American Rail Network shows the MCCULLOUGH rail yard. A tractor based on that side of Hamilton County does not have to be driven up to Sixteen Mile Stand before you sell it; give us the street address where it sits and we plan the collection there.
Between McCullough, the Sharonville ramp and the fuel terminal, a single truck can end up parked in several places across a week. Pick one spot where it will stay until we arrive, and tell us whether a lowboy or a tow unit can reach it without moving other equipment.
Local employers, crops
Work in town and fields across Hamilton County
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) record 2,060 jobs located in Sixteen Mile Stand, a town of 3,666 residents. Box trucks, service bodies and straight trucks working local routes from those employers qualify as well as heavy tractors. Have the title in the seller’s name, or a signed release from the business that owns it.
Across Hamilton County, 322 farms appear in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by corn, then soybeans, then cattle. Grain trucks, cattle haulers and farm-plated tractors are trucks we purchase. If the truck is farm-registered, keep the farm plate paperwork with the title so the registration class is clear when ownership changes.
Getting the Ohio title and lien papers in order
Ohio titles are handled by the state’s title agency, and a missing title should be replaced through that agency before the sale closes. Start the replacement as soon as you know the title is gone; we can talk through the truck while the duplicate is on its way.
When there is a lien on the truck, have the lender’s name and contact ready, along with the account holder’s details. A lien release, a matching registration and a photo of the VIN plate on the door jamb let us confirm the title belongs to the truck in front of us.
The questions we get asked in Sixteen Mile Stand
- Can you collect a tractor sitting by the Sharonville ramp instead of in Sixteen Mile Stand itself?The Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts that ramp 5.1 miles west of Sixteen Mile Stand, and we collect the tractor from the lot where it already sits. Name the company or person that runs that lot, so access to the Sharonville site is arranged ahead of our driver.
- Do you buy dump trucks that haul from the gravel pits north-east of town?L & I PIT & MILL and Oeder & Sons Sand & Gravel, eight and 8.5 miles north-east according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, are served by exactly the dump trucks we buy. Send the dump truck’s VIN, pictures of the body and the name printed on its title.
- I sold gravel loads out of Sixteen Mile Stand for years and the dump truck’s title vanished along the way - what now?Hamilton County owners replace a lost title through the state’s title agency, and the duplicate must be in hand before ownership changes. Begin that request now and contact us while it is processed.
- Will you take a farm truck from a Hamilton County farm?Hamilton County has 322 farms raising corn, soybeans and cattle in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and their grain and livestock trucks fit what we buy. Keep the farm registration paperwork with the title.
