Stone to the south-west
Aggregate runs from two Chesterfield-area pits
Midlothian Quarry, where crushed stone is dug 6.3 miles south-west of Bon Air, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register of mines. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls aggregate from that pit is often parked at a contractor yard near the quarry rather than at the owner’s house, so give us the yard address and a name who can let us onto the lot.
Over on the east side, South Richmond Quarry sits 7.9 miles from town, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck has worked both pits, a few photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate tell us what body it carries before we arrange anything, and the registration card confirms the Virginia plate it runs under.
Rail yards, the Transflo terminal and the Richmond Marine Terminal
Two rail yards appear on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: RICHMOND, 6.5 miles east, and ACCA, 6.9 miles north-east of Bon Air. Tractors that dray boxes or loads off those yards usually end the shift at a terminal lot close to the tracks, and we can collect from there once you tell us whose gate it is.
Transflo CSXT, a liquid bulk terminal, is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics at 6.9 miles north-east, and the Energy Information Administration places two RICHMOND petroleum product terminals 7.5 miles east. If your tractor has pulled tankers between those sites, keep its service records together with the title; they show where the unit has been working.
Roll-on/roll-off cargo moves through the Port of Virginia’s Richmond Marine Terminal, 9 miles east on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list. A truck parked near the river docks does not need to be driven back to Chesterfield County for a sale; send the location and we plan the pickup at the terminal side.
Freight, car hauling and towaway out of Bon Air
General freight is the cargo 47 Bon Air carriers name, out of 62 active ones in FMCSA’s carrier census, and dry vans and box trucks fill that line. Box trucks and tractors with dry vans make up much of that work, and the title plus the cab card are the two documents to find first.
Motor vehicles show up on 17 carrier registrations and driveaway or towaway on 10, per the same federal census, while 9 haul machinery and large objects. Car carriers, rollbacks and lowboy setups fit those listings, and for a hauler like that a photo of the deck or trailer hitch helps us match the equipment to the paperwork.
Interstate operations number 30 and intrastate ones 32 on FMCSA’s records, with 19 registered as private fleets. A private fleet truck often sits at the business that owns it, so tell us whether a manager or the owner signs the title before pickup is booked.
Single trucks and one large operation
One operation registered in Bon Air runs 114 power units with 95 drivers on FMCSA’s census, while the next two listed carry 4 and 3 power units. Whether you are selling one tractor from a small outfit or a handful from a larger yard, a list of VINs lets us look at each unit in a single pass.
The carriers here report 84 drivers working within 100 miles and 141 going beyond that radius, according to the federal carrier census. A long-haul driver may be out of state when the sale happens, so name someone at home in Bon Air who holds the keys.
Fifteen carriers reported mileage to FMCSA, and the median among them is 35,330 miles per truck in a year. Have the current odometer reading written down when you contact us, alongside the VIN.
How old the inspected Bon Air trucks run
Bon Air trucks stopped for 52 roadside inspections from September 2024 to August 2026 had a median model year of 2017, per FMCSA roadside inspection records. Find the model year on the title or registration before you call, since that is the first detail we confirm.
In that FMCSA inspection sample, 42.3 percent of the Bon Air trucks were ten or more model years old. Older or newer, the steps are the same: title in the seller’s name, registration, and photos of each side.
Contractors, wholesale jobs and horse farms nearby
Construction accounts for 713 of the 9,914 jobs in Bon Air, a 7.2 percent share in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, and wholesale trade holds 85 more. Dump bodies, flatbeds and service trucks tied to those jobs are usually kept at the contractor’s site, which is where we would come to look.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns puts 83 construction establishments around Bon Air. If a truck is titled to one of those businesses, the person signing needs authority to sign for the company, so have that sorted before collection.
Chesterfield County had 162 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by equine, soybeans and corn. Livestock haulers and grain trucks from those farms can stay on the property; tell us the field or barn entrance so the pickup driver finds it.
The questions we get asked in Bon Air
- Does a tri-axle sitting at a lot by Midlothian Quarry have to come into Bon Air first?Midlothian Quarry is 6.3 miles south-west of Bon Air on the Mine Safety and Health Administration list, and we collect from the yard where the truck sits. A street address for the quarry-side yard and a phone number for its gatekeeper are all we need.
- Which office replaces a lost title on a truck kept in Bon Air?Bon Air is in Chesterfield County, Virginia, so a missing title is replaced through Virginia’s title agency. Start that request before we book collection; the title is the document we need in hand.
- Can you collect a tractor from the Richmond Marine Terminal?The Port of Virginia’s Richmond Marine Terminal is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics 9 miles east of Bon Air, and a truck parked there can be picked up on site. Name the terminal contact who will let our driver through to the truck.
- Our Bon Air company keeps its own private trucks. Will you look at the whole group?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 19 private fleets in Bon Air, and we look at each truck from a fleet like that by its VIN. Send the list of VINs, titles and current registrations together.
