Dimension stone nearby

Granite and crushed stone a few miles from Brightwood

Granite Managers, a dimension-stone quarry, lies 6.5 miles south-east of Brightwood on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and Jet Mist tm Quarry, another dimension-stone site, is 9.3 miles out in that same direction. A tractor or dump truck that has worked between those pits and town can stay parked at the quarry yard; give us the site name and someone who can let us through the gate.

Eastward, MITCHELL QUARRY sits 8.1 miles away and the Culpeper Plant 13.8 miles away, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as crushed-stone operations. If your truck hauled aggregate out of either one, send photos of the bed, the frame and each axle along with the VIN, so the pickup crew knows what equipment to bring.

General freight and timber loads registered in Brightwood

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 11 active carriers in Brightwood, and 7 of them list general freight as cargo while 4 haul logs, poles, beams and lumber. A log truck or a dry-van tractor from one of those outfits is the kind of vehicle we collect from a farm lane or a shop lot, wherever it is kept.

Two of those Brightwood carriers move motor vehicles and one runs driveaway and towaway work, on the same federal census. Car haulers and tow rigs with a clean title in the seller’s name are straightforward to collect; have the registration card and the keys together before you call.

On FMCSA’s figures the biggest Brightwood fleet runs 8 power units with 8 drivers, the next runs 3, and several are single-truck operations. An owner-operator selling the one truck the business has can do it with the title, a photo ID and the odometer reading.

Brightwood trucks on in-state and cross-border work

In FMCSA’s census, seven of the town’s carriers operate intrastate and four cross state lines, and three are private operations moving their own goods. Whichever authority your truck ran under, tell us the USDOT number so we can match the registration before collection.

That same FMCSA census records 12 drivers working within a hundred-mile radius of Brightwood and 9 going farther. A truck that is out on a long route right now can be collected once it is back home, or at the terminal where it finishes; tell us where it will sit.

Cattle, corn and building work around town

Around Brightwood, Madison County holds 447 farms according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and soybeans the top products. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm-plated straight trucks are all ones we collect, and a truck parked in a pasture or beside a barn is fine as long as we can reach it.

Contractors are part of the picture too: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns puts 14 construction establishments in Madison County. Dump trucks, flatbeds and equipment haulers from those contractors can be picked up at the job yard; include photos of the body and the cab, plus any service records you have kept.

Rail and the wider region

Rivanna Station, the Shenandoah yard and the mine to the south

Rivanna Station, the military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists 21.8 miles south-west of Brightwood, is one landmark for trucks kept on that side of town. If yours is stored near there, send the address and any gate rules for the property so the collection can be arranged ahead of time.

Westward, the SHENANDOAH rail yard is 24.3 miles from town on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and R.E. SANSOM MINE & MILL, an industrial-mineral mine, is 24.6 miles south on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. A truck parked at either site can be picked up right there, with no trip back to Brightwood.

Madison’s DMV Select

A lost title for a Brightwood truck goes to the Madison counter on Washington Circle

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles lists DMV Select - Madison at 23 Washington Circle, Madison, 22727, which is 4.6 miles from Brightwood. Replacement titles in Virginia go through DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices, so that is the nearest stop if the title for your truck has gone missing.

Bring photo ID and the VIN when you apply at the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles office, and if a lender is still listed on the title, ask them for a lien release first. Once the replacement is in hand, send us a photo of the front of it along with pictures of the truck.
