Todhunter and the tank trucks that load there
North of Wetherington by 6.8 miles sits Todhunter Terminal, a petroleum product terminal the Energy Information Administration lists in its terminal records. A day cab that has pulled a tank trailer out of that rack spends its working day on short runs to stations and depots, and it is usually parked at a yard or a home driveway between loads. When you send photos, include the fifth wheel and the rear of the frame so we can see the hitch the trailer rode on.
The Energy Information Administration also lists Lebanon RP Truck Terminal, another petroleum product terminal, 11.3 miles north-east of town. If your tractor loaded at either rack, its delivery tickets and any terminal access paperwork tell us where it went and how it was used. Keep them with the title and the registration; none of it is required to sell, but all of it shortens the conversation.
Dump trucks hauling out of the pits east of Wetherington
East of Wetherington, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists L & I Pit & Mill at 7.1 miles and Oeder & Sons Sand & Gravel at 7.7 miles, both sand and gravel operations. Trucks that haul out of pits like these are tri-axle and quad-axle dumps, plus the tractors that pull belly-dump and end-dump trailers to job sites and ready-mix plants.
A dump truck that has worked the Oeder or L & I pits is often sitting at the pit, at a contractor’s yard or beside a house on an acre lot. We collect from any of those. Give us the address, say whether the truck is blocked in by other equipment, and send a photo of the bed and the tailgate along with the cab; the bed is the part a gravel truck’s history shows on.
Container tractors between the Reeds and Sharonville yards
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Reeds rail yard 7.1 miles north of Wetherington and the Sharonville rail yard 7.4 miles to the south-west. The Cincinnati, OH - Sharonville intermodal ramp appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ intermodal list at 7.2 miles in that same south-west direction.
Day cabs that drag containers off the Sharonville ramp log a lot of starts and stops and little highway time. If yours is one of them, send the VIN and the current odometer reading first, then photos from all four corners. A tractor that has run between the ramp and warehouses in the Union Centre area does not need to move for the sale; it can stay on the lot it is parked on while we arrange pickup there.
Grain and hog haulers from the Butler County farms
Around Wetherington the land is still farmed: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 888 farms in Butler County, and the leading products are corn, soybeans and hogs. Grain trucks and hopper-bottom tractors that haul from those farms to elevators work hardest in the autumn and sit for long stretches the rest of the year.
A farm truck is usually registered to the farm and parked in a machine shed or behind a barn, which is fine; we come to the farm. Have the title in the name of whoever is signing, and if the truck has been titled to a family partnership or an LLC, bring the paperwork that shows who can sign for it. Hog haulers with livestock trailers belong on the same list.
Where a Wetherington seller handles the title
Ohio titles go through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and the Bureau’s office search lists the Butler County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 4872 Union Centre Pavillion Dr, Westchester, 45069, about 4.7 miles from Wetherington. That is one of the County Clerk of Courts title offices the Bureau names as its title offices, and it is where a lost or misplaced Ohio title for a truck registered here is replaced before the sale.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 1,287 people working in Wetherington in 2023, so most of the trucks here are owned by people who commute out to operate them. If the truck is titled in Ohio and the title is in hand, the sale needs the title, the registration, photos and the VIN. A duplicate for a lost title comes from the Clerk of Courts office the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles lists on Union Centre Pavillion Dr, and we schedule the collection once it is in your hand.
