Sell your semi truck for cash in Broadway the easy and convenient way

The working site attached to this place is a crushed-stone quarry whose coordinates lie 3.82 miles from the Census centroid of the town the node list names. MSHA records 3 employees there.

Three is small, and we are not going to dress it up as anything else. It is worth saying plainly because a site that size does not run its own fleet. The trucks that serve it are somebody else’s — owner-operators, small local haulers, farm outfits with a tandem — which is exactly the ownership shape this Rockingham County stretch of the Shenandoah Valley is full of.

That is a fact about who is likely to be reading this, not about the quarry. A one-truck owner selling a tandem is the ordinary case here, and the process is the same as it would be for a fleet.

That quarry sits in an easy network by the standards of this state. Within ten miles of it, straight-line, the FHWA National Bridge Inventory 2025 file records 98 structures. Three are coded posted for load on item 41 and two are coded below legal loads on item 70, and the nearest of those two is 4.15 miles out.

We report the item 70 figure rather than the item 41 one on purpose. Across this state those two codes agree on only 68% of posted structures, so item 41 overstates the restriction by about a half, and quoting it would make these roads look worse than they are.

The number that governs a loaded truck is the lowest crossing at or above the weight of an empty tandem dump. Here that is 17.2 tonnes, about 19.0 US tons, and it happens to be the raw minimum too — there is no crossing below the commercial floor at all in the circle. Over the 11.0-tonne tare of an empty tandem that admits about 6.2 tonnes of stone.

No county figure is given because the tier barely exists in this state: counties maintain 243 of 14,143 structures, 1.7%. Whoever maintains these, two restrictions in ten miles is a light hand.

Those bridge figures we can stand behind. An approval we cannot, and the distinction is worth spelling out because it would be easy to imply.

VDOT publishes a Materials Approved List, and no entry for this node could be located in it. That is not a statement that the site is unapproved. The register is name-only, carries no coordinates at all, and this node’s operator string matches nothing in it.

Worse, the register names towns that other quarries also name while recording a different operator — Cardinal Stone against Salem Stone at Galax, Woodway Stone Co against Jessee Stone at Woodway, Appalachian Aggregates against Mountain Materials at Glade Spring. Either a quarry changed hands or there are two quarries in one town, and the node list does not settle it.

This work once asserted “not approved” on exactly this evidence at five sites and had to correct every one, the worst of them at a node whose own coordinate was 112 miles wrong. So we record that no entry was located and assert nothing about approval either way.

Whichever way that register question falls, the load rules do not move. Va. Code § 46.2-1122 and § 46.2-1127 put a single axle at 20,000 lb, a tandem at 34,000 lb and gross at 80,000 lb, and this state’s interstate limits are identical to its highway limits, so there is no inversion to catch anybody out.

On stone the tandem binds long before the gross does. Dense rock reaches its axle limits with the body still looking like it has room, which is the single most misread thing about loading one.

The commodity permit at § 46.2-1143 reaches 110,000 lb on six axles for gravel, sand, asphalt and crushed stone within fifty miles, never on an interstate — but only in counties levying a coal or gas severance tax, and § 58.1-3712 makes that permissive rather than mandatory. There is no statutory list. Whether Rockingham County levies one was not established.

Ordinary limits at Va. Code § 46.2-1122, the tandem at § 46.2-1127, and the commodity permit at § 46.2-1143, gated by § 58.1-3712. Whether this county qualifies was NOT established. Information, not legal advice.

Beyond the load rules we need a title, unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. A lost title has a counter replacement; where none exists there is a bonded route. Neither stops a sale.

The particular here is the base the branding test measures against. Under Va. Code § 46.2-1600 a late model vehicle is salvage where estimated repair would exceed its actual cash value less its current salvage value. Every other state on file compares against the whole pre-damage figure, and subtracting the salvage value makes the test easier to trip rather than harder.

Two more sit in the same section. A recovered stolen vehicle acquired by an insurer runs a flat seventy-five per cent test instead, and a vehicle is nonrepairable where repair exceeds ninety per cent of value before the damage. One chapter, three arithmetics.

Va. Code § 46.2-1600. Information, not legal advice, and only as current as the day it was read.

Those rules apply to whatever you drive, and the offer does not sort by type. Tandems and tri-axles off the stone and the farm work around this part of the Shenandoah Valley. Day cabs and road tractors running the interstate. Flatbeds, lowboys, box trucks, straight trucks and rollbacks out of the trades, plus service bodies and crew pickups.

Whatever you drive, the offer doesn’t change. We buy all of them.

We can come to you and drive it away, or come to you and tow it. We can also buy it remotely and arrange the tow without anybody visiting, and you are welcome to bring it to us instead. Rockingham County is not far from anywhere, so all of those are ordinary here.

• Does it have to run?No. It does have to be complete — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Rust is not a disqualifier.
• I only have the one truck.That is the ordinary case in this part of Rockingham County and it changes nothing. One tandem gets the same process as a fleet of them.
• Is my truck in the emissions programme?No. The programme covers ten Northern Virginia jurisdictions and this is not one of them, and inside those ten it reaches diesels only under 8,500 lb. A diesel work truck is outside it twice over.
• How am I paid?Cash or electronic payment. That is the whole list.
• What about the title?We need one unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. A lost title has a counter replacement; where none exists there is a bonded route.

None of those questions is why the phone rings. Retiring. A medical that went the wrong way. A hauling contract that finished. A tandem parked at the end of a lane in the Shenandoah Valley, 3.82 miles from the pit it used to load at, with insurance going out on something that is not turning a wheel.

Most of those aren’t happy reasons, and we don’t treat them like they are. Somebody wants a straight answer and the truck gone. That’s what we’re here for.
