Tank cars to tankers
Chamberlayne’s south-west rail corner: Transflo CSXT and ACCA
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Transflo CSXT, a liquid bulk terminal, 4 miles south-west of Chamberlayne, where product moves between rail tank cars and highway tankers. If your tractor pulled a tanker out of that transload site, tell us the trailer type it was set up for and whether the wet kit stays with the truck, so we know exactly what is being sold.
ACCA, a rail yard listed in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sits at that same 4-mile distance to the south-west. If your tractor shuttled freight around ACCA and is parked nearby, send us the street address of the lot and the name of whoever holds the keys, and we plan the pickup at that spot.
Roughly 7.1 miles due south, the North American Rail Network records the RICHMOND yard. Owners who ran between ACCA and RICHMOND can gather the title, the current Virginia registration card and any annual inspection sheets in one folder before calling, which keeps the paperwork part of the sale short.
Racks below the city
Fuel tankers loading at the paired RICHMOND racks
Two petroleum product terminals named RICHMOND appear in Energy Information Administration listings, one 7.1 miles and the other 7.2 miles south of Chamberlayne. Fuel tankers loaded at those racks frequently carry hazmat placards and tank test stickers, so photograph the tank’s data plate and the latest test date along with the cab and the frame.
If your fuel truck finished its last load at one of the RICHMOND racks and has stood in a yard since, it does not need to come back to Chamberlayne first. Give us the yard location, a phone number for the gate, and the VIN, and we arrange collection at the terminal side of town.
Aggregate and roll-on cargo
Dump bodies from the quarry, tractors from the James River docks
South Richmond Quarry, a crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls, lies 9.5 miles south of Chamberlayne. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate from a quarry gate like that one are trucks we buy; note the body length and the axle configuration when you write to us, and include a photo of the bed from above.
Port of Virginia’s Richmond Marine Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off terminal per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, sits 11.6 miles to the south. Tractors that worked the docks there may carry port access stickers or terminal paperwork; keep them with the title so the truck’s working history is clear when it changes hands.
Transportation, warehousing and construction jobs
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded 447 jobs located in Chamberlayne, and 105 of them, or 23.5 percent, were in transportation and warehousing. Drivers and owner-operators in that sector who are ready to let a tractor go can start with three things: the title, the registration and a set of clear daylight photos from all four corners.
Construction made up 63 of those 447 jobs, a 14.1 percent share by LEHD’s figures, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 37 construction establishments. Contractors here with a dump truck, flatbed or service body they no longer use can list the equipment mounted on it, such as a crane, liftgate or toolboxes, so we know everything that comes with the truck.

What FMCSA roadside stops near Chamberlayne recorded about model years
FMCSA roadside inspection records for Chamberlayne list 89 trucks stopped from mid-September 2024 through late August 2026, and half of them were model year 2019 or newer. Have the model year, engine make and odometer reading in front of you when you reach out, since those three lines open every conversation about a truck.
Of those same 89 inspected trucks, 31.5 percent were ten or more model years old according to FMCSA’s roadside inspection records. Whether yours is a 2019 day cab or a model from well before that, we buy it, and an older registration card or a past inspection report helps us confirm the VIN and the specification.
Soybeans, honey and cattle in Henrico County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 84 farms in Henrico County, with soybeans, honey and cattle at the top of its list. A grain truck, a livestock hauler or a flatbed that served one of those farms can be collected straight from the barn or field edge where it is parked.
Farm-plated trucks still need a title in the owner’s name to sell. If the title for a Henrico farm truck has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a replacement, so apply for one before you call us.
