Stone pulled from two quarries near Front Royal
Drive 4.7 miles west from Apple Mountain Lake and you reach Hanson Aggregates Virginia, a crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls. Tri-axle dumps and quad-axle haulers that load there are trucks we buy, and if yours is parked at a quarry lot rather than at home, give us that lot’s gate details so the collection can be arranged on site.
A second crushed-stone operation, Mellott Front Royal, is 5.2 miles west according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Owners of dump bodies, lowboys or water trucks that worked that pit should note the body make and length when they write to us, along with a few clear photos of the bed and the cab.
Day cabs around the Virginia Inland Port
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Virginia Inland Port rail yard is 5.6 miles north-west of the lake. A day cab or chassis-pulling tractor that shuttled boxes in and out of that yard can be collected from wherever it now sits, whether a driveway off the lake roads or a lot near the yard gate.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics also lists the Front Royal intermodal ramp at the Virginia Inland Port (VIP), at that same 5.6-mile distance to the north-west. If your tractor pulled containers off that ramp, send its VIN, its registration card and any service records you kept.
Beef, wheat, corn
Livestock and grain haulers from Warren County barns
Warren County had 316 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and that survey names cattle, wheat and corn as the leading products there. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and flatbeds from those operations often sit in a barn or a field lane, and we pick them up from that spot without the owner moving them to the road.
Around Apple Mountain Lake, a stock trailer tractor or a grain body truck may have spent years registered to a farm rather than a person. Check whose name is printed on the title before you contact us; if it is a farm business, the person who signs for that business should be ready to sign the sale.
Water Street, Front Royal
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles issues replacement titles, and its DMV Customer Service Center - Front Royal at 15 Water Street, Front Royal, 22630, is 4.5 miles from Apple Mountain Lake by the agency’s own location list. If the title for your truck cannot be found, that office is the nearest place to request a new one.
Titles in Virginia are handled through DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices, so the Front Royal center on Water Street is one choice among several. Bring the registration and your identification when you go, and tell us once the replacement is in hand so the sale can proceed.
Hillside lots
What to send from a lake-side driveway
Homes around the lake sit on hillside lots, and a tractor or dump truck parked on one needs a clear approach for the carrier we send. Describe the driveway, any gate, and where the truck faces, and include photos taken from the road.
Along with that, list the make, model, model year and VIN, and say what the truck last hauled, whether stone from the quarries west of town, containers from the inland port or cattle and grain from Warren County farms.
