Gravel pits and quarries along the Lewisburg road
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Wysong Gravel Co West Alexandria Pit, a sand and gravel operation, 2 miles north of West Alexandria, and the Lewisburg crushed-stone quarry 5.7 miles north. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor has hauled out of either one, it may be parked at the pit or at your yard when we come for it; give us the exact spot and whether a loaded tri-axle can turn around there.
Two more operations show up on the same MSHA register: Wysong’s Camden Pit, 11 miles south-west, and the Phillipsburg crushed-stone quarry, 12.5 miles north-east. A truck that has worked between these four sites should come with a note listing which pits it served and the VIN, and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab.
Twin Creek haulers
Van, hopper and lowboy carriers registered in West Alexandria
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 36 active carriers in West Alexandria, with 28 of them registered for general freight and 14 for grain, feed and hay. That mix means the tractor you want to sell could be a dry-van day cab one season and a hopper puller the next, so tell us which trailers it has pulled and include the registration with your first message.
Interstate authority covers 22 of the West Alexandria carriers in that FMCSA census, against 13 that keep to Ohio roads and 14 private fleets moving their own loads. Nine list farm supplies and eight list machinery or large objects. If your truck belongs to a private fleet, pull its service records together from the shop office before you call and attach them to your first message.
Model years logged on West Alexandria rigs at inspection
Across 47 trucks checked between September 2024 and July 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2015, with 57.5% of those trucks ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, read the model year and engine family off the door sticker and the valve cover tag and send both, so we can match the truck to its build sheet.
Within the carrier census, the three biggest local fleets run 40, 24 and 8 power units, and FMCSA counts a median of 10,000 miles a year per truck among the 22 carriers that report mileage. If you are selling several units out of one fleet, list each VIN and its odometer reading on a single sheet; we can arrange to collect them from one yard.
Farm hauling across the township
Around West Alexandria, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 1,044 farms in Preble County, with corn, soybeans and hogs the leading products. A grain truck or livestock tractor that has spent its life on those farms may sit in a barn lot or a machine shed, so tell us whether the lane is gravel or paved and if the ground gets soft after rain.
Whatever plates a farm truck carries, the title needs to be in the seller’s name. If the truck was bought at a family farm and never retitled, gather the old title and any bill of sale before we schedule a pickup, and check that the VIN on the title matches the frame.
North Barron Street, Eaton: the clerk’s title counter
Titles in this state are handled by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and for West Alexandria that is the Preble County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 542 North Barron Street, Eaton, 45320, about 5.3 miles from town. Bring photo ID and the VIN there to request a duplicate if the original title is missing.
If a lender still shows on the title, ask the bank for a lien release letter first; the Eaton clerk will want it before printing a clean copy. Once you hold the title, a photo of the front and back is all we need to start.
Container yards at Moraine, fuel racks at Dayton
Seventeen miles and a tenth east of West Alexandria sit two yards, Moraine and Moraine TV, on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Drayage tractors and container chassis haulers that shuttle to those yards are trucks we buy; mention whether yours has a wet kit or a fifth-wheel slider when you write.
Petroleum product terminals at Dayton sit 19.9 miles east, according to the Energy Information Administration. A fuel tanker or tractor that has pulled from those racks should come with its tank test certificates and hazmat paperwork, since we ask for them before the truck leaves your lot.
