St. Henry’s haulers carry grain, feed and farm supplies
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 45 active carriers in this town, and 19 of them name grain, feed and hay as a cargo while 16 name farm supplies. If your truck is a hopper tractor or a feed truck that runs between farms and elevators, send us the VIN, a few photos of the body and the title, and we can talk about it straight away.
General freight shows up on 19 of those same registrations in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 10 local carriers haul machinery and large objects. A lowboy tractor or a flatbed that moves equipment between shops fits what we buy; tell us what trailer it usually pulled so we know how the truck was set up.
Hogs, milk and corn
Farm trucks from the hog barns and dairies around town
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,292 farms across Mercer County, which takes in St. Henry, with hogs, milk and corn as the top products. Livestock trailers, milk tankers and grain trucks from those operations are often parked at the farm itself, so give us the farm address and the lane we should use to reach the truck.
A farm truck that never left the township still needs its Ohio title in the owner’s name before we collect it. If the truck is registered to a farm partnership or a family member, have that name on hand when you contact us so the paperwork matches the person signing.
Plant shuttles
A town where most jobs are on the factory floor
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,062 of the town’s 1,948 jobs in manufacturing, a 54.5 percent share. Box trucks and day cabs that shuttle parts and finished goods between plants are the kind of equipment that work produces, and a service log from the plant’s maintenance shop helps us understand the truck’s history.
Construction accounts for 121 jobs in the same LEHD release, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 18 construction establishments in the area. Dump trucks and mixers from those contractors are usually kept at a yard or on a job site; tell us which, and whether a loader is needed to clear a path to it.
Weber, Hardin, Poeppelman
Quarries north-east, east and south-east of St. Henry
Weber Materials, Ltd runs a crushed-stone quarry 17.6 miles north-east of town, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Hardin Sand and Gravel is 23.4 miles east, and C F Poeppelman Inc operates another crushed-stone quarry 24.3 miles to the south-east, both also on Mine Safety and Health Administration records.
If your dump truck or tri-axle hauled aggregate out of one of those pits, it may still be parked near the quarry rather than in St. Henry. That is fine; we come to the truck. Tell us which site it is at and whether we need a gate pass or an escort to reach it.
The Ansonia rail yard and the routes around it
Fourteen and a half miles south of town, the Ansonia rail yard appears on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that pick up or drop loads at a rail yard often carry a log of those runs; bring it along with the registration if you have it.
A tractor parked near the Ansonia yard is one we collect from where it stands, the same as a truck in a driveway in town. Let us know the exact spot and whether the truck sits inside a fenced lot.
The carriers and drivers based in this part of Mercer County
FMCSA’s census lists 35 interstate carriers and 10 intrastate carriers here, and 34 of them run private fleets that haul their own goods. In the same FMCSA census, the biggest of those operations runs 160 power units with 133 drivers, and the next two run 85 and 32 units. Whether you sell one truck or several from a yard, we handle the whole group in one conversation.
Drivers in this area mostly stay close: the federal carrier census records 313 working within a hundred miles of base and 100 going farther. For the 26 carriers that report mileage, the same census gives a median of 10,952 miles per truck a year; include an odometer photo with the rest of your pictures.
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covering 56 trucks checked between September 2024 and August 2026 show a median model year between 2018 and 2019, with about 32 percent at ten or more years old. Whatever the model year, a photo of the door sticker with the VIN and build date answers most of our first questions.
A duplicate Ohio title from the Portland Street clerk
If the title is lost, that office can issue a duplicate before we arrive.
Bring your photo identification and the truck’s VIN to Celina, and if a lender once held a lien, bring the release as well. Once the duplicate is in hand, the sale can go ahead with the title signed over at pickup.
