Two miles to the mine
Dump trucks between Central Garage and its gravel sites
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists an industrial-mineral mine called King William just 2 miles south of Central Garage, and Amrize King William Sand and Gravel 4.9 miles to the south-west. A dump truck or a tri-axle that has spent its days between those two sites is often parked right at the pit gate or behind the owner’s house; give us that address and we arrange the pickup there.
Up the other way, Newtown-VA Sand & Gravel is 11.5 miles north, again on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck has hauled for more than one of these operations, name them when you get in touch, and send clear photos of the body, the hoist and the cab with the VIN plate in frame.
Freight, logs and machinery
Twenty-six registered outfits around Central Garage
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 26 active carriers based here; 18 of them list general freight, 5 move machinery and large objects, 4 carry logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 3 haul dry bulk commodities. Whichever of those your tractor or straight truck pulled, tell us the trailer it ran with so we know how it was set up.
Of those 26, the carrier census shows 14 cleared for interstate work, 12 that stay inside Virginia, and 15 operating as private fleets moving their own goods. A private-fleet truck can be registered to a business rather than a person, so check whose name is on the title before we come out, and have someone who can sign for that business on hand.
From two trucks up to ten
Owner-operators and ten-truck yards alike
The biggest operation on FMCSA’s carrier census here runs 10 power units with 11 drivers; the next has 5 power units and 3 drivers, and a third has 2 of each. If you are selling several units out of a yard like that, list each VIN and where it sits, and we can plan one visit to collect them.
Registrations keep arriving: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 5 new carriers in 2024 and 2 more in 2025. A newer outfit that is trimming its fleet should keep the purchase paperwork and current registration together with each truck it lets go.
Local loops and longer routes
Six carriers here report annual mileage to FMCSA, and the median across them is 35,000 miles a truck each year. For your own unit, a photo of the dash showing the odometer is the first thing to send us, along with the VIN.
Drivers on FMCSA’s carrier census split between 18 who stay within a 100-mile radius and 27 who go beyond it. A truck that works far from King William County might be at a terminal or a customer’s lot when you decide to sell; tell us where it will be, and that is where we meet it.
CSXT tank work and the Richmond rail yards
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the ACCA and FULTON rail yards about 22.3 miles south-west of Central Garage. Day cabs that shuttle loads to those yards are part of what we buy; send the service records from that work along with your photos.
At about the same distance, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminal, and the Energy Information Administration lists the RICHMOND petroleum product terminal at 22.4 miles. If your tractor pulled tankers in and out of those gates, mention any tank certifications or inspection sheets you still have.
Grain hauling and building work nearby
Across King William County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 122 farms, with corn, soybeans and wheat at the top. A grain truck or hopper tractor that only rolls at harvest may sit in a shed for months; tell us which farm lane reaches it.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 31 construction establishments in the area, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 334 jobs here in 2023, 52 of them, or 15.6 percent, in wholesale trade. Whether your truck served a contractor or a distributor, the registration and any loan release are what to have in hand on pickup day.
Central Garage owners missing a title

Bring your ID and the truck’s VIN to that Hanover counter if the original title has gone missing, and request the duplicate before we schedule collection. If a lender still appears on the record, ask the lender for its release letter at the same time.
