Aggregate pits off town
Tri-axles between West Union and two stone pits
Plum Run Stone sits 14.7 miles north-east of West Union, and Eagle Crushed Stone lies 16.9 miles to the north-west, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as crushed-stone quarries. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls aggregate out of either pit can stay parked at the yard where it works; give us the gate location and who holds the key, and we collect it there.
Quarry trucks often carry their own scale tickets and pit records. If you have them for the truck you are selling, photograph a few with the VIN plate and the body, so we see the truck as it worked between the stone yards and the Adams County roads.
General freight, machinery and timber from West Union yards
Of the 46 carriers registered here, FMCSA’s carrier census shows 26 hauling general freight, 13 moving machinery and large objects, 12 carrying logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 10 handling farm supplies. A lowboy that moves equipment, a log truck with its loader, or a box truck on local freight routes all fit what we buy; tell us which of those your truck did.
Twenty of those carriers run interstate and 26 stay intrastate, while 25 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same federal census. If your truck belongs to a private fleet, have the registration in the owning business’s name ready, along with the person who can sign for it.
West Union picked up 7 newly registered carriers in 2024 and another 3 in 2025, a count kept in FMCSA’s carrier census. Owners who started up in those years should keep the purchase papers and the current title together, since a recent purchase is the first thing we confirm.
Short runs through the Adams County hills
The federal motor carrier census counts 151 drivers for West Union carriers working inside a hundred-mile radius and 71 going beyond it, so roughly two of every three stay near home. A truck that works locally is usually parked in a shop lot or a driveway in the county; send us that address when you first get in touch.
Eighteen West Union carriers gave FMCSA their annual mileage, and their median works out to 26,667 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading from the dash in your first message, next to the VIN, and the rest of our questions follow from those two figures.
Small fleets with trucks from around 2013
The three biggest fleets based here run 18, 17 and 12 power units, with 9, 17 and 11 drivers, by FMCSA’s carrier census. An owner with several tractors or straight trucks to sell can list them together; give us each VIN and where each one sits.
FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 34 West Union trucks checked between September 2024 and July 2026, with a median model year of 2013 and about 71 percent ten or more model years old. Whatever the year of yours, send the registration card and any service records you hold so the model year and specification are clear from the start.
Farm and construction trucks around town
Across 1,100 Adams County farms, soybeans, corn and cattle lead the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A grain truck, a livestock hauler or a feed body that sits on a farm outside West Union can be collected from that farm; tell us which lane or field gate gets a tow truck to it.
West Union counted 1,959 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, 106 of them in construction and 103 in manufacturing, while 20 building contractors’ establishments appear for the area in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Contractors selling a dump, a flatbed or a service body should have the title in the company’s name and photos of the body as well as the cab.
Logans Lane
The clerk’s office a short walk from the square
Ohio titles are issued through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles by County Clerk of Courts title offices. Here that is the Adams County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 33 Logans Lane, West Union, 45693, about 0.4 miles from the town centre, per the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
If the title is lost or still shows a lienholder, start at that Logans Lane office for a duplicate or a lien release before we collect. Bring your identification and the VIN, and keep the replacement with the registration so both travel with the truck.
The questions we get asked in West Union
- Our tri-axle sits inside the Plum Run Stone pit north-east of West Union - will you collect it from the quarry?Plum Run Stone is 14.7 miles north-east of West Union on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we come to the truck at the quarry.
