Three Creek Mine, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 8.3 miles north-west of Courtland, is the nearer of the two pits around town. A dump truck or tri-axle that has been hauling aggregate out of there may well be parked at the pit gate or a contractor’s yard rather than in town, and that is fine: give us the yard address and we arrange collection there.
On the other side of town, Southeastern Materials appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records 9.3 miles south-east, another sand and gravel site. If your truck has split its shifts between the two, mention both locations and the body type, whether a dump bed, a lowboy or a flatbed, so we know what is coming before we arrive.
Six construction establishments are counted in Southampton County’s figures from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Equipment haulers and dump trucks working for those outfits are exactly the kind of commercial vehicle we buy, so photograph the body, the cab and the VIN plate and send them along with the registration.
Lumber, machinery and cold loads out of Courtland
General freight leads the cargo list, with 15 of Courtland’s carriers registered for it in FMCSA’s carrier census. A van tractor or a box truck from that work usually comes with a fairly simple paper trail, so have the title, the cab card and any service invoices you kept in one folder.
Logs, poles, beams and lumber come next: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 8 local carriers signed up for that cargo. A log truck or a tractor that pulled pole trailers through the Southampton woods may be sitting at a landing or a mill lot when you call, and we can meet it there if you tell us how the gate is reached.
Five carriers here list machinery and large objects, and four carry refrigerated food, according to the same federal census of motor carriers. For a reefer unit, a note of the refrigeration unit’s make and its hour meter reading helps us describe the truck accurately; for a lowboy or a step-deck rig, a photo of the deck and the trailer’s VIN does the same.
Interstate runs and local hauls from Southampton Parkway
Thirteen of the town’s carriers operate interstate and nine stay within Virginia, by FMCSA’s carrier census, and six of the 22 run private fleets moving their own goods. If yours is a private-fleet truck owned by a farm or a contractor, the title may be in the business name, so bring whoever signs for the company into the conversation early.
Drivers working short runs outnumber the long-haul ones here: FMCSA’s census records 71 drivers who stay inside a hundred-mile radius against 45 who travel beyond it. A truck that comes home every night is easy to find in a yard around Courtland; a sleeper that is out on a long trip can be collected once it returns, at whatever address suits you.
Across nine carriers that reported mileage, the median truck covered 37,573 miles a year, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Your odometer reading and VIN are the first two things we ask for, so jot them down before you get in touch.
Roadside inspectors checked 48 trucks tied to Courtland carriers between August 2024 and July 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2017. Any model year is welcome with us, and the year on your title is simply one line in the description we take.
Whatever the year, keep the report from your last roadside stop or annual check alongside the title; it shows the VIN and the axle setup on a single sheet.
The biggest outfit based here runs 36 power units with 31 drivers, and two others list 17 power units each, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you are selling several trucks from a fleet that size, send a list of VINs together and we can handle them as one collection.
Cotton, hogs and corn around town
Courtland is surrounded by row crops and livestock: Southampton County carried 278 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cotton, hogs and corn the leading products. Module trucks, grain trucks and livestock haulers from those farms are commercial trucks we buy, and they are often parked at a farm shop off a back road, so a pin or a gate description helps.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) list 635 jobs in Courtland for 2023. A farm or small business selling a truck it no longer needs can do it with the same papers anyone else uses: the signed title, the registration and a photo of the odometer.
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles runs its DMV Customer Service Center - Courtland at 27426 Southampton Parkway, Courtland, 23837, just 1.9 miles from the middle of town. If the title has gone missing, that office, one of the agency’s DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices, is where a replacement is requested.
Being so close to home makes the replacement title an easy errand in Courtland: take your ID and the truck’s VIN to the Southampton Parkway counter, and let us know once the new title is in hand so we can schedule the pickup.
