Granite and gravel
Quarries just outside Bealeton
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Bealeton Plant, a crushed-stone quarry, 2.1 miles south of town, and a second crushed-stone site called SANDERS 6.4 miles to the north-east. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs loads between those two pits is one we will look at. If yours is parked at a quarry gate rather than your house, give us the site name and the person who can let us in.
Further out, two dimension-stone quarries appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records about 20 miles south-west: Virginia Black Granite Inc. at 20.6 miles and Jet Mist tm Quarry at 21.2 miles. Flatbeds and heavy-haul tractors that carry cut granite blocks fit what we collect. Photograph the deck, the tie-down points and the cab, and send the VIN along with them.
Freight, steel, timber
Of the 39 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Bealeton, general freight is listed by 29, machinery and large objects by eleven, metal sheets, coils and rolls by ten, and logs, poles, beams or lumber by eight. Whichever of those your tractor or straight truck pulled, tell us the trailer type it worked with so we know what we are coming to see.
Of those 39 operators, 26 run interstate and 13 stay inside Virginia, while 19 are private fleets moving their own goods, again per the federal carrier census. A private fleet selling a single unit should have the title in the company’s name and someone authorised to sign it. Have that signer’s name ready when you first get in touch.
The three biggest operations on file with FMCSA run 55, 39 and 8 power units, with 55, 22 and 7 drivers. If you manage one of the larger yards and are clearing several units, list each VIN and where each truck stands, and we will plan collection one location at a time.
Drivers who leave the county behind
FMCSA’s carrier census puts 40 drivers here within a 100-mile radius and 119 beyond it, and a truck from Bealeton may well be parked far past Fauquier County. If your rig is sitting at a terminal out of state, that is where we pick it up; send the address and a gate contact.
Fourteen Bealeton carriers report yearly mileage to FMCSA, and the middle truck among them logged 37,977 miles. Have your odometer reading and any service records to hand, since those are among the first things we ask about.
FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 62 trucks from Bealeton carriers inspected between September 2024 and August 2026; their median model year was 2020, and 25.8 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, the title, registration and a clear set of photos are what get the conversation started.
East and north-east
Marine base deliveries and Manassas fuel loads
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Marine Corps Base Quantico 17.5 miles east of Bealeton, with the Marine Corps Museum at 22.8 miles in the same direction. If your box truck or tractor is parked inside the base fence, tell us at the start so a visitor pass can be arranged for the collection.
North-east by 21.1 miles, the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Manassas. Tank-wagon and fuel-hauling tractors that load there are trucks we buy. Keep the tank’s test and inspection paperwork with the truck so it travels with the sale.
Bealeton job sites and Fauquier’s cattle and dairy farms
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed 627 jobs in Bealeton, and construction held 149 of them, or 23.8 percent. Fifty construction establishments show up for Bealeton in County Business Patterns, another Census Bureau series. Dump trucks, flatbeds and equipment haulers from those contractors are welcome; tell us which job site the truck is on today.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,040 farms in Fauquier County, with cattle, soybeans and milk at the top of the list. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and milk tankers that serve those farms are on our list. If yours is parked in a barn lot down a farm lane, describe the access so we bring the right equipment.
The questions we get asked in Bealeton
- A tri-axle of mine is parked inside the Bealeton Plant quarry lot south of town; can it stay put for collection?The Bealeton Plant sits 2.1 miles south of town in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and we collect from the quarry lot itself, so tell us which quarry staff member can open the gate for the pickup.
- Our Bealeton fleet mostly works in other states. Will you collect a truck that is out on the road?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 26 of Bealeton’s 39 active carriers operating interstate, so trucks from here are often far from home, and we go to whichever state or terminal yours is parked in once you give us its location.
- Which papers matter most for a Bealeton truck sale?Bealeton trucks inspected by FMCSA at the roadside had a median model year of 2020, and for any year we start with the title, registration, VIN, odometer reading and photos of the cab, frame and tires.
- Will you take a milk tanker or cattle trailer rig from a Fauquier farm?Fauquier County has 1,040 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, soybeans and milk, and livestock, grain and milk trucks from them are trucks we buy.
