Two stone operations within a mile and a bit
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a crushed-stone quarry named Castlewood just 0.6 miles south of town, and a second operation, the Castlewood Plant, 1.1 miles south. Dump trucks and tri-axles that load at those faces are the kind of equipment we collect. If yours is still on a quarry lot, tell us who controls the gate so the pickup can be arranged with them.
A stone truck sitting on a quarry floor does not need to be driven into Castlewood first. Send us the VIN, a photo of the data plate and a few pictures of the bed, cab and frame, and give us the exact spot. We plan the collection around wherever it already sits.
Haul trucks on the road out past Savage Blending Terminal
Three and a half miles north-west of Castlewood, the Savage Blending Terminal appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a coal preparation plant. Further out the same way, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Toms Creek Complex at 10.8 miles and the Carico Ridge Strip coal mine at 10.9 miles. Haul trucks and tractors that shuttle between pit and plant on that corridor are welcome here.
To the north-east, the RCR-1 Moss #3 coal mine is 7.8 miles out according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If a truck that served one of these sites now stands idle on a mine bench or a plant yard, keep its registration and any service records together, and tell us which site it came from so our questions fit its work.
Loadouts by rail
Coal and stone loadouts at Dante, and a second yard toward Norton
Up the road toward Dante, 5.7 miles north of Castlewood, sits a rail yard recorded on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Trucks that bring coal or stone to a loadout there can be collected at the yard or at the owner’s home, whichever is simpler.
Norton’s rail yard is 18.7 miles west on the North American Rail Network. Sellers who live in Castlewood but keep a tractor parked closer to Norton do not have to move it; give us the address, a contact on site, and the title, and the truck stays put until we arrive.
Log, freight and feed carriers based in Castlewood
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 22 active carriers based in Castlewood, with general freight listed by 12 of them and logs, poles, beams and lumber by 8. Grain, feed and hay, and motor vehicles, each appear on 4 carriers’ FMCSA records. Log trucks, flatbeds and livestock-feed haulers from these outfits all fit what we purchase.
Of those carriers, 16 are cleared for interstate work and 6 for intrastate only, while 8 run as private fleets hauling their own goods, per the same federal census. In FMCSA’s carrier census the biggest operation here fields 8 power units and 6 drivers; two more each list 4 trucks and 4 drivers. A small fleet selling one tractor or several can send the full list of VINs at once.
Three new carriers registered in 2025, according to FMCSA, after a 2024 with none. If you started up recently and are selling a truck you bought for the business, have the title in the company’s name ready, along with the registration.
Local routes with some longer runs
FMCSA’s census records 31 drivers from Castlewood carriers working inside a hundred-mile radius and 14 going farther. Many of these trucks are therefore parked at home or at a nearby site between loads, which makes them easy for us to reach.
Castlewood’s median truck logged 48,797 miles a year, a figure FMCSA draws from the 8 local carriers that filed mileage. Write down the current odometer reading when you contact us, alongside the VIN; those two numbers start the conversation about your truck.
Feed haulers, grain trucks and contractor dump trucks
Russell County holds 808 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, corn and horses lead its list. Grain trucks, cattle haulers and farm tractor-trailers parked on a pasture or by a barn outside Castlewood can be collected right there; tell us how the field is reached.
Castlewood’s workplaces held 276 jobs in 2023 according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns lists 6 construction establishments. Contractors with a dump truck or a flatbed to sell should gather the title, the registration and recent photos before calling.
Replacing a title through the Lebanon DMV center
In Virginia, titles come from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles replacements at its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. For Castlewood owners, the nearest is the DMV Customer Service Center - Lebanon at 567 W. Main Street, Lebanon, 24266, an 11.4-mile drive west from Castlewood on the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles’ location list.
If the title for your truck has gone missing, start the replacement at that Lebanon office before the sale. Bring your registration and identification, and let us know the replacement is under way so we can plan around it.
