Two sand pits within five miles of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Muddy Cross Pit, a sand and gravel operation 3.8 miles west of Carrollton, and Crittenden Sand Pit 4.1 miles to the south. If your dump truck or tri-axle loads at either pit, tell us which pit road or lot it is parked on and who holds the gate key.
Five Carrollton carriers list dry bulk commodities as cargo in FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck is one of them, have the title in hand, a current Virginia registration card and a few clear photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate before you reach out.
Ro-ro, liquid bulk and petroleum docks to the east
About 5.9 miles east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Port of Virginia’s Newport News Marine Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off facility, with the Papco liquid bulk terminal at 6.2 miles. A tractor that shuttles between those docks and a lot back in Isle of Wight County can be collected at either end; give us the address where it stands today.
Two petroleum product terminals at Newport News, 6.1 and 6.3 miles east, appear in Energy Information Administration listings. For a tanker tractor or fuel truck that served them, keep any terminal access records or inspection sheets with the title, since they show where the unit worked.
Rail at Newport News, Navy land at Suffolk
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows a rail yard at Newport News 6.3 miles north-east of Carrollton. Day cabs that dray boxes or coil between rail and customers around Hampton Roads fit what we buy; send the VIN and odometer reading first.
Naval Suffolk Facility, a military installation 6.6 miles to the south-east on Bureau of Transportation Statistics maps, rounds out the nearby list. If your truck is parked on or beside a controlled site, name a contact who can let our driver in, and the pickup gets planned around that access.
Twenty small carriers on the federal register
Twenty active carriers call Carrollton home in FMCSA’s carrier census, with general freight on the cargo list of 14. Four list machinery and large objects and another four list metal sheets, coils and rolls, so flatbed tractors and step-deck rigs belong in this town’s mix as much as vans do.
No fleet here runs more than four power units, according to that same federal carrier register, and the next sizes down are two trucks and one. For a one- or two-truck owner, the paperwork is short: the title in your name, the registration, and the service records you kept. If a lender still holds the title, tell us at the start.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 11 Carrollton carriers operating intrastate, 9 interstate and 2 as private fleets. The same FMCSA census has 15 running drivers within 100 miles and 13 sending them past that radius, so a truck may be found at home or out on a run; say which when you write to us.
Construction jobs and Isle of Wight County farms
Construction held 76 of the 936 jobs counted in Carrollton for 2023, an 8.1 percent share in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 26 construction establishments, and their dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies are trucks we purchase from the owner directly.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 212 farms in Isle of Wight County, with cotton, hogs and corn at the top. A grain truck, a livestock hauler or a module truck parked at a farm shed can be collected there; a field address and a phone number for whoever is on site is all we need.
Recent startups among Carrollton carriers
In FMCSA’s carrier census, two new Carrollton carriers registered in 2024 and two more in 2025. If you started a trucking business in one of those years and are now selling the tractor, bring the title, the registration and your USDOT number so we can match the truck to the record.
A newer authority may still have the truck titled to a business name rather than to you personally. Check whose name is on the Virginia title before you contact us; the owner it lists is the one who signs it over.
