Maple Grove, Bloomville and the pits south toward Upper Sandusky
Just 7.7 miles up the road from Tiffin, Maple Grove Operations crushes stone, by the count of the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls out of Maple Grove can stay parked at the quarry lot or your yard; give us the gate contact and the VIN and we arrange collection there.
East of town, Bloomville Quarry and Bloomville Stone Quarry sit 10.6 miles out and Flat Rock Quarry 17.7 miles out, each on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your rig loads dimension stone at Flat Rock or Bloomville, photograph the bed, the hoist and the tag plate, so the pictures show the body the truck actually carries.
To the south, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Kirbys Sand & Gravel 15.5 miles away and the Upper Sandusky industrial-mineral mine 22.3 miles out. Sellers in the southern end of Seneca County can leave the truck at the pit; tell us which one and who holds the keys.
Rail sidings ten miles west at Fostoria
Fostoria Mixing Center, a rail yard 10.1 miles west of Tiffin, appears on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that shuttles trailers between that yard and Seneca County plants is the kind of day cab we collect; send the registration and a photo of the odometer with your first message.
POET Biorefining Fostoria sits 11 miles west on the North American Rail Network as well. If your truck has run grain or ethanol loads to the POET siding, keep its title and any service records together in the cab, ready for the driver who comes to take it.
Who runs trucks out of Tiffin under FMCSA authority
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 115 active carriers based in Tiffin, 48 running interstate and 67 staying inside Ohio, with 56 of them private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet selling a straight truck or tractor needs only the title in the company name and someone authorised to sign it.
General freight is the cargo 75 of those carriers list, while 22 carry machinery and large objects, 20 haul grain, feed and hay, and 18 move metal sheets, coils and rolls, per the same federal census. Flatbeds built for coil racks and lowboys for machinery are as welcome as dry vans; note the trailer type when you write.
New registrations in Tiffin numbered 11 in 2025 and 6 in 2024 on FMCSA’s census. If your authority is recent and the truck is still financed, tell us the lender’s name up front so the lien release is part of the paperwork from the start.
Roadside inspectors stopped 177 Tiffin-based trucks from August 2024 to August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records show those units at a median model year of 2022, 11.86 percent of them a decade old or more. Whatever the year on your title, include it with the VIN and we work from those two figures.
Among 41 local carriers reporting mileage, the FMCSA census puts the median at 20,000 miles per truck a year. A clear photo of the dash reading lets us match the truck to the records you send.
Fleet sizes in town run from single trucks up to one operation listing 139 power units and 145 drivers, with others at 93 and 47 units, all in the FMCSA census. A fleet manager disposing of several units at once can send one list of VINs and yard addresses rather than a message per truck.
Tiffin plant jobs beside soybean, corn and hog farms
Manufacturing holds 2,351 of the 9,738 jobs located in Tiffin, a 24.1 percent share, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023; wholesale trade adds 371 and construction 164. Box trucks and tractors tied to a plant dock can be collected at the plant, once the shipping office knows we are coming.
Seneca County holds 1,080 farms whose top products are soybeans, corn and hogs, as tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked at a farm lane outside Tiffin is collected where it stands; give us the road name and whether a pickup with a lowboy can turn in.
Tiffin’s 51 construction establishments, listed in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, keep dumps and flatbeds on local job sites. Contractors selling a dump or flatbed should have the title, the current registration and any inspection sheets in one folder.
Two weight-posted spans on Tiffin’s streets
Just 2 of the spans the Federal Highway Administration records inside Tiffin carry a posted weight limit. Name the road your yard or driveway sits on, and our tow operator plots a way in that skirts both of them.
That same federal bridge register shows no low-clearance structure anywhere in Tiffin, and a tall reefer, a grain hopper or a sleeper tractor parked in town can be reached along ordinary streets. Put the street address and any yard hours in with your photos.
