Bag plant and pits

Silica sand and aggregate west of town

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the DTS Sands bag plant, an industrial-mineral operation, 8.3 miles south-west of Wellston. A dump truck or tractor that has shuttled bagged sand out of that plant can stay parked in the yard where it last worked. Send us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and the collection gets planned around that site.

Further out, DTS Sands also runs its Beaver Mine 13.9 miles west, and S & S Aggregate works sand and gravel 18.6 miles west, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Trucks tied to pits like these often sit on mine property between jobs. Photograph the frame rails, the bed or trailer, the tires and the cab interior where it stands, and tell us which pit it served.

Fifty-one active carriers based around Wellston

Of the 51 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Wellston, 38 keep to intrastate work, 13 cross state lines and 15 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A single-truck owner and a private fleet selling off a unit go through the same steps with us. Have the Ohio title in the registered owner’s name and the current registration together before you call.

Lumber matters here: 17 Wellston carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo, beside 19 listing general freight, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Log trucks, knuckleboom units and flatbed tractors from the timber trade fit what we buy. If a loader or bunks are mounted on the chassis, say so up front so we know what the truck carries with it.

Nine local carriers haul metal sheets, coils and rolls, and eight move machinery and large objects, by the count in FMCSA’s carrier census. Coil-rated flatbeds, step-decks and heavy-haul tractors from those outfits are welcome. Note any permits, axle configurations or trailer specs in your first message, since those details shape how a heavy unit gets collected.

Jackson County yards of every size

Per FMCSA’s carrier census, Wellston’s biggest registered operation fields 27 power units and 27 drivers, while the two behind it each field 8 tractors. Whether you are letting go of one tractor or several from a yard of that size, list each unit’s VIN, make, model and model year. A clear list per truck keeps several sales from getting tangled together.

New registrations are few: FMCSA’s carrier census shows one new carrier in Wellston in 2025 and none in 2024. Owners closing out an operation they have run for years can sell the trucks without selling the business. Keep your USDOT number details handy so we can match each truck to the carrier it ran under.

Short hops around Wellston and longer runs out of state

A median of 47,739 miles per truck each year comes from the 12 Wellston carriers that report annual mileage in FMCSA’s carrier census. Read the odometer before you contact us and include a photo of the dash showing it, along with the hour meter if the truck has one.

Drivers split almost evenly by distance, with 57 working within 100 miles and 55 going beyond, as FMCSA’s carrier census reports. A truck on a long run may be parked far from Jackson County when you decide to sell. Tell us the city and state where it sits today, not where it is registered, and we collect from there.

Any model year is fine with us; give the exact year from the title so the paperwork and the truck agree.

Sixty-one percent of those 49 Wellston trucks carried a model year ten or more years back, by FMCSA roadside inspection records. If you have inspection reports or service invoices for yours, put them in a folder with the title. Those papers tell the truck’s story alongside your photos.

Factories, farms and local roads

Manufacturing accounts for 995 of the 2,155 jobs counted in Wellston for 2023, or 46.2 percent, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with construction adding 106. Box trucks, flatbeds and dump trucks that serve plants and job sites in town are part of what we purchase; tell us the body type and its dimensions.

Across Jackson County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 527 farms, with cattle, soybeans and corn the leading products. Grain trucks and livestock haulers from those farms can be collected at the farm itself. Give us the farm road address and point out where the truck is parked on the property.

Of the 9 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists in Wellston, one is load-posted and none clears under 14 feet. When you describe where the truck is parked, mention the route in so our driver can plan the approach to your yard or barn.
