Limestone past Cedarville
Cedarville’s quarry and the Enon and Barrett pits
Cedarville Limestone, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 9.5 miles south-west of South Charleston, is the closest pit to the village. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads there can stay parked at the yard it works from; give us the gate address and the name of whoever holds the key, and the collection is planned around that site.
Heading west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Enon Sand & Gravel at 16.2 miles and Barrett Paving Materials Inc, another sand and gravel operation, at 19.6 miles. If your truck runs aggregate between those pits and job sites, send photos of the body, the hoist and the cab together with the VIN, so the description and the pictures arrive as one record.
Bowersville, a crushed-stone quarry 18.4 miles due south on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, rounds out the stone sites around the village. Owners who haul from more than one of these pits only need to tell us where the truck sleeps at night; that is the spot we come to.
Fairborn’s cement plant and the two air bases out west
The Fairborn Cement Plant lies 17.4 miles west of the village by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s reckoning. Bulk pneumatic trailers and the tractors that pull them out of a plant like that are trucks we purchase, so list the trailer with the tractor if you plan to sell both and note which one carries which VIN.
West of South Charleston, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics marks Springfield Beckley at 10.3 miles and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base at 21.6, each a military installation. A truck kept near either base may sit behind a controlled gate; tell us that early and name a contact who can sign us in, so pickup is arranged with the people who run the lot.
Autoload tracks
The autoload rail yard toward Springfield
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places a rail yard named INTL HARVESTOR AUTOLOAD 15.4 miles north-west of South Charleston. A day cab that works that yard can be collected where it is parked near the tracks; it does not have to come home to the village first.
For a yard tractor or a day cab that has worked rail traffic, have the registration and whatever service records you keep in one folder. Those papers, plus the odometer reading, answer most of what we ask about a truck from that side of the county.
Twenty-four carriers, mostly short-haul and local
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 24 active carriers based in South Charleston: 18 list general freight, 6 farm supplies, 6 grain, feed and hay, and 5 dry bulk commodities. In the same FMCSA census, 16 of them operate intrastate against 7 that cross state lines, and 9 are private fleets hauling their own goods.
The three biggest local operators run 10, 6 and 5 power units, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Whether you have one tractor or a whole small fleet like those, send a list of VINs and where each unit is parked, and we can look at them together or one at a time.
A median 47,170 miles per truck each year turns up across the 7 South Charleston outfits that filed mileage with FMCSA. FMCSA’s carrier census also shows 39 drivers working within 100 air miles and 31 going beyond that distance, so a tractor may well be parked out of state when you call us; tell us where it is and we come to it.
Hoppers and stock trailers off South Charleston farms
South Charleston sits among 833 farms, the figure USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture gives for the surrounding county, where corn, soybeans and hogs lead the list. FMCSA’s carrier census shows 6 carriers based here hauling grain, feed and hay, and 6 carrying farm supplies; grain hoppers, livestock trailers and the tractors that pull them at harvest are all trucks we purchase from owners here.
A grain truck that only moves between field and elevator a few months a year can stay in the barn or machine shed where it is kept. Give us the farm’s road address, a phone number for whoever will be there, and a clear photo of the title, and we arrange the visit to the farm.
A manufacturing workforce and nine builders
Manufacturing accounts for 188 of South Charleston’s 443 jobs in 2023, a 42.4 percent share, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and straight trucks that make deliveries for plants in town fit what we purchase, and a fleet manager can send the units as a single list.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 9 construction establishments in the village’s area. Contractors with a dump truck, a flatbed or a service body that has finished its last job can tell us where it sits on the yard, and we collect it there.
A lost certificate
Where a Clark County Clerk of Courts title gets reissued
Ohio titles are issued by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles through its County Clerk of Courts title offices. For South Charleston owners that is the Clark County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 402 S Burnett Rd, Springfield, 45505, which the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles places 9.2 miles from the village.
If the certificate is lost or still lists a lienholder you have since cleared, that Springfield office is where a duplicate or corrected title starts. Bring photo identification and the VIN, and send us a photo of the new title once it is in hand alongside the registration.
