Coal right at the edge of Cleveland
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists RCR-1 Moss #3, a coal mine, just 2 miles west of Cleveland. A tractor or dump truck hauling off that site is often parked near the mine road rather than in town, so give us the exact spot where it sits and whether a lowboy can get to it.
Farther out on the same side, MINE #9 is a coal mine 9.1 miles north-west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your truck has split its shifts between these two operations, say so when you write to us, and send a photo of the door tag or VIN plate so the paperwork matches the cab from the first message.
Quarry trucks for Russell County Quarry and the Dickensonville plant
Russell County Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, lies 4.3 miles south of Cleveland according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Tri-axle dumps and stone haulers from a pit like this one are a regular part of what we collect; photograph the bed, the frame rails and the tag axle along with the cab.
The DICKENSONVILLE PLANT, another crushed-stone quarry, is 7.9 miles south-west in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. A seller with a truck working either quarry can have it collected right at the scale house or the shop yard, and we only need the address and a contact on site.
Blending and preparation
Savage Blending Terminal and Toms Creek out to the west
West along the coal corridor, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places SAVAGE BLENDING TERMINAL, a coal preparation plant, 10.2 miles from Cleveland. Haulers shuttling between the mines and a blending site rack up hours in a small loop; jot down the engine hours with the odometer so both figures arrive together.
TOMS CREEK COMPLEX, a coal preparation plant the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 16.7 miles west, is the farthest of the coal sites around town. When a truck is stationed that far out, tell us the gate it uses and the hours the site is open so the collection is planned around the plant’s schedule.
Rail yards on either side of the valley
Eight miles west of Cleveland, the Federal Railroad Administration and Bureau of Transportation Statistics map a rail yard at Dante in the North American Rail Network. Day cabs that shuttle between a loadout and a yard like that are welcome here; list the fifth wheel type and any wet kit so we know exactly what is coming.
Toward the north, the North American Rail Network shows Dismal, a rail yard 20.8 miles from Cleveland. A truck kept near either yard can stay put while we sort the details; we come to where it is parked.
Herds and hayfields
Stock haulers and grain trucks on Cleveland’s farms
Around Cleveland, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 808 farms across Russell County, with cattle, corn and equine listed as the leading products. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and flatbeds that move hay or horses all fit what we purchase from farm owners here.
A farm truck often carries farm plates and may sit in a barn lot rather than on a paved yard. Tell us how the vehicle is registered, send a shot of the title, and mention the gate or lane we should use to reach it.
Duplicate titles in this state come from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, through its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles lists DMV Customer Service Center - Lebanon, at 567 West Main Street in Lebanon 24266, as 4.6 miles from Cleveland.
If the title has gone missing, start the replacement at that Lebanon counter before you contact us, and bring the registration card and your photo ID. Once the duplicate is in hand, send a picture of both sides with your truck photos.
