Asphalt, liquid bulk and a mineral plant south-west of Wellsville
The Energy Information Administration lists the Wellsville asphalt terminal 0.7 miles south-west of town, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Marathon Petroleum Corporation liquid bulk terminal 0.8 miles out in the same direction. A tractor that has pulled product from either gate is likely parked close by, so give us the street address or the yard it sits in and we will arrange collection there.
About 1.1 miles south-west, the Wellsville Facility appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a mineral processing plant. If your dump truck or tractor hauled for that plant, have the title, the current registration and any service records together before you call, and send photos of the cab, the frame and the plate.
Heading east, the TransMontaigne Partners LLC liquid bulk terminal sits 4.8 miles from Wellsville on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, with the East Liverpool petroleum product terminal 5.3 miles out according to the Energy Information Administration. A tanker tractor based at either site does not need to come back into Wellsville; tell us which lot it is on and who can let us through the gate.
For trucks that rotated between the two East Liverpool sites and the asphalt terminal on the other side of town, a short note listing which terminals the unit served helps us ask the right questions about it. Add the VIN and the odometer reading to that note and most of the follow-up is already answered.
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 22 active carriers in Wellsville, split evenly between 11 interstate and 11 intrastate operations, and 10 of them run private fleets. Whichever group yours belongs to, the paperwork we ask for is the same: the title in the owner’s name, the registration, and whatever inspection reports you kept.
General freight is the cargo listed by 15 of those carriers, with farm supplies named by 8, machinery and large objects by 7, and grain, feed and hay by 5, per the same FMCSA census. Flatbeds, lowboys and grain trailers pulled behind a tractor all belong in the description of what the truck carried.
The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s census file run 11, 9 and 5 power units, and two new carriers registered in each of 2024 and 2025. An owner-operator with one tractor and a fleet selling several units go through the same steps with us, one VIN at a time.
Short-haul drivers and the longer-radius crews
Drivers working within 100 miles number 38 in the FMCSA carrier census for Wellsville, against 13 who run beyond that radius. If your truck is out on a longer route when you get in touch, tell us where it will be parked when it comes home, and we will plan around that spot.
Across 6 carriers that reported mileage, FMCSA’s census puts the median at 12,714 miles per truck. Have the current odometer figure written down along with the VIN, since those two numbers are the first things we ask for.
Fields and rail
Columbiana County farms and the yards to the south
Milk, corn and soybeans lead the 1,129 Columbiana County farms tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A grain truck or a tractor that hauled feed between those farms can be collected where it sits, whether that is a barn lot or a field edge, as long as you tell us how to reach it.
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Steubenville rail yard lies 18.3 miles south of Wellsville and the Gould yard 19.9 miles south. Trucks that shuttled loads to those yards can be picked up near them, so give us the nearest road and a contact on site.
West of town, Shale Pit 002 is listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as an industrial-mineral mine 12.7 miles out. Photos of a dump body or a tri-axle that worked that pit help us understand the truck before we see it.
Open spans, local payrolls and the construction firms
None of the 7 Wellsville bridges in the National Bridge Inventory is load-posted, and none sits under 14 feet of clearance. That means a tall tractor or a loaded lowboy can be collected from inside town without a detour around a restricted span.
Of the 518 jobs located in Wellsville in 2023, 53 were in manufacturing, or 10.2 percent, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 7 construction establishments, and a box truck or dump truck from one of those firms sells through the same steps as a highway tractor.
Every Wellsville sale starts with the title, and if it has gone missing, the state’s title agency is the place to request a replacement before we collect. Note the owner’s name exactly as it reads on the title; the bill of sale uses the same spelling.
Keep the registration card and any lien release in the same folder. If a lender still holds the title on a Columbiana County truck, give us the lender’s name when you first contact us so the payoff paperwork can be lined up.
The questions we get asked in Wellsville
- Can a high tractor leave Wellsville without hitting a low or posted bridge?The National Bridge Inventory lists 7 bridges in Wellsville and none under 14 feet or load-posted, so height and weight limits on those spans are not a barrier to collection.
