Pits and a quarry within eight miles of the square
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Troy Gravel, a sand and gravel operation 2.1 miles south-east of town, and Piqua Materials, a crushed-stone quarry 3 miles north. A tri-axle or tandem dump that shuttles between those two sites and Miami County job sites is likely parked at a yard or a farm lot rather than downtown, so send us that address with the VIN.
Further west, Milton Materials, LLC runs a sand and gravel operation 6.4 miles out and Portable Plant #1 sits 8 miles out as a crushed-stone quarry, both on the federal mine safety agency’s register. If your dump body or end-dump trailer came off those west-side haul routes, photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and have the title and registration in the same name before we schedule the pickup.
Fuel terminals, the Needmore yard and Wright-Patterson
According to the Energy Information Administration, two petroleum product terminals listed under the name Dayton sit about 18 miles south of Troy. A tractor that pulled tankers out of those racks can stay where it is parked; give us the location and the name of whoever can open the gate.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Needmore rail yard 15.9 miles south. Day cabs and yard tractors that moved freight off that yard qualify, and a short note on what each one hauled helps us ask the right questions.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base lies 18 miles south-east, on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list of military installations. If a box truck or flatbed delivered to the base gate, keep any site access paperwork with the title; it fills in the truck’s work history alongside your photos.
Lowboys, moving vans and car haulers on the Troy roster
Sixty of the 101 Troy-based outfits active in FMCSA’s carrier census name general freight as a cargo they carry. The same FMCSA census shows another 23 hauling machinery and large objects, 11 moving household goods and 10 carrying motor vehicles, so lowboys, moving vans and car haulers all come out of this town alongside dry vans.
Of those Troy carriers, 43 run interstate, 57 stay intrastate and 42 operate private fleets, per the same federal census. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the title; tell us who holds the title before anything else so the paperwork matches the seller.
New registrations rose from 4 in 2024 to 10 in 2025 under FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started a small outfit in that window and are selling the tractor you began with, a clean title in your name and the registration card are the two documents to put first.
Fleet sizes, driver radius and model years
At the top of the Troy list in FMCSA’s census, one fleet fields 100 power units and 102 drivers, a second 90 of each, and a third 55 of each. Owners selling several trucks from an operation of that size can list the VINs together, and we will plan the collections as one job.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 191 drivers working within 100 miles and 333 working beyond it. Twenty-six local carriers file yearly mileage with FMCSA, and their median truck logs 27,500 miles. Have the odometer reading ready, since it is one of the first things we ask for.
Between September 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 186 Troy-registered trucks, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put the middle model year of that group at 2021, with 7.5 percent built ten or more years back. Whatever the year on yours, the VIN tells us the build, so include it in your first message.
Plant docks, warehouses and Miami County barns
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 17,324 jobs in Troy for 2023, with 5,496 in manufacturing and 1,686 in wholesale trade. Straight trucks and box trucks that served plant docks or wholesale warehouses here are welcome; send the body length and the liftgate details with your photos.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau record 79 construction establishments, and LEHD lists 385 construction jobs and 400 in transportation and warehousing. Contractors selling a dump, a flatbed or a stake-bed truck should say where on a job site it sits so we can reach it.
Miami County had 1,158 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by corn, soybeans and hogs. A grain truck or a livestock hauler kept in a barn or a field lane is collected where it stands; give us directions from the nearest road.
Posted bridges and clearances in town
The National Bridge Inventory lists 27 bridges in Troy, and 2 of them carry posted load limits. If the truck sits on a road that crosses one of those, mention it, and we will pick a route in.
The National Bridge Inventory records no bridges in town under 14 feet of clearance. Tall box trucks and loaded car carriers can reach a pickup point here without a low-clearance detour, so the address you send is usually where we come.
