Limestone and gravel pits west and south-east of the Muskingum
Pleasant Valley Limestone, a crushed-stone quarry 6.7 miles west, and S & S Aggregate, a sand and gravel operation 6.7 miles south-east, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings for the area. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls from either pit can stay parked at the yard it works from; give us the gate contact and we plan the collection there.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists MAYSVILLE MATERIALS LLC at 8.3 miles south-west and Toboso Ag LLC at 11.7 miles north-west. If your aggregate truck splits its week between these sites, tell us which one it returns to at night, and have the title and any scale or service tickets in the cab for the driver who comes for it.
General freight, machinery and car haulers based in town
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 228 active carriers based in Zanesville, with 94 hauling general freight and 56 carrying machinery and large objects. A lowboy tractor or a flatbed rig from the machinery side is as welcome as a dry-van tractor; send photos of the deck, the cab and the data plate so we see the whole unit.
Of those carriers, 144 operate intrastate only and 106 are private fleets, according to the same FMCSA census, while 83 cross state lines. A private-fleet truck owned by a Zanesville business can be sold by whoever holds the title; bring a letter from the company if someone other than the titled owner signs.
Car haulers matter here too: 41 Zanesville carriers in FMCSA’s register list motor vehicles as cargo, and 28 list metal sheets, coils and rolls. For a car-hauler tractor, note whether the headrack and trailer go with it, so the pickup is planned for the right length.
Build years logged when officers stopped local rigs
FMCSA roadside inspection records from late August 2024 to late August 2026 log 320 Zanesville-carrier trucks, their median model year sits at 2019, and 39 percent carry a model year a decade or more back. Whatever the year on your title, have the VIN, the registration and the odometer reading ready when you reach us.
The 71 Zanesville carriers that file mileage with FMCSA put their middle truck at 14,772 miles a year. Its drivers split 456 working within 100 miles and 1,298 beyond, per the same carrier census. If your tractor runs long routes and is parked away from Muskingum County when you decide to sell, give us the town where it sits and we travel there.
Terminals and rail yards within reach
The Energy Information Administration lists COSHOCTON TERMINAL, a petroleum product terminal 18.9 miles north-east of Zanesville. A tank truck or fuel tractor that loads there should come with its tank inspection paperwork and the cargo history, which we ask about before scheduling.
West of town, the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the NEWARK yard 20.7 miles out and NEWARK WEST at 21.7 miles. A day cab that shuttles loads to those yards along the Licking County side can be collected from a yard lot if you clear access with whoever manages it.
Posted spans on the way to a Zanesville yard
Of 33 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records in Zanesville, three are load posted and none sits under 14 feet. Tell us the exact street address of the truck so the driver can plan a route clear of the posted spans.
To the south-east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the NG McConnelsville Training Site at 22.3 miles. If the truck is kept somewhere with controlled entry like that area, arrange a pass or meet the driver at the gate with the keys and title.
Factory payrolls, contractors and Muskingum farms
Zanesville held 18,181 jobs in 2023 under the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, including 1,017 in manufacturing, 365 in wholesale trade, 311 in construction and 248 in transportation and warehousing. Box trucks and straight trucks that deliver for those employers are part of what we collect; a fleet manager selling several can list them together with VINs.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 103 construction establishments and five warehousing establishments. Across Muskingum County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 1,301 farms with corn, cattle and soybeans at the top. A grain truck or livestock hauler kept on a farm lane can be loaded from the farm; say whether the lane takes a car carrier or needs the truck brought to the road.
The questions we get asked in Zanesville
- Our tri-axle sits at the Pleasant Valley pit west of Zanesville; can it be picked up from the quarry?Pleasant Valley Limestone, 6.7 miles west on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, is the sort of site we drive to. Give us the quarry name, a gate contact and where the truck stands, and the collection is arranged on site.
- Our Zanesville company keeps its own trucks for its own freight; may we list four or five together?FMCSA’s carrier census counts 106 private fleets in Zanesville, and a fleet of any size can sell its trucks in one go. Send the VINs and the address of each unit, and one company signature covers all the titles it holds.
- The grain truck is on a corn and cattle farm deep in Muskingum County; is a farm lane too far out?Muskingum County has 1,301 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we collect from them as readily as from town. Give us directions to the farm and the title in the owner’s name.
