Navy shoreline
Selling a truck a few blocks from Naval Support Facility Dahlgren
Naval Support Facility Dahlgren lies just 0.3 miles north-west of the town centre, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is kept at a home or yard near the base, give us the street address and tell us whether we can reach it without passing through a gate, so the collection is planned for the right side of the fence.
Pumpkin Neck, a second military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 2.5 miles south, sits along the same stretch of shoreline. Owners who keep a box truck or flatbed down that road should send photos of the cab, the bed and the VIN plate, and say who on the title will sign it over.
Dump trucks from the Walker Sand & Stone and Rappahannock pits
Ten and a half miles south of Dahlgren Center, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records WALKER SAND & STONE as a sand and gravel operation. A tandem dump or a tri-axle that hauls aggregate out of a pit like that can stay at the pit or the owner’s lot; tell us which, and whether a loaded trailer has to be moved first.
The Amrize Rappahannock Mine, another sand and gravel site, is 12.5 miles to the south-west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. For a truck that has worked that site, have the registration card and any service records together before you call; those two items answer most of our questions about the truck in one look.
Fuel trailers between Dahlgren and the Dumfries and Fredericksburg tanks
Two petroleum product terminals appear in the Energy Information Administration’s listings within reach: DUMFRIES, 20 miles north-west, and FREDERICKSBURG, 23.2 miles west. A tank truck or a tractor that pulls a fuel trailer between those terminals and the county is one we buy, and it can be collected wherever it is parked between runs.
If your tanker is registered in Virginia but garaged near one of those terminals, say so when you get in touch. Send the VIN, the plate number and a photo of the tank’s data plate, and we will plan pickup at that location.
Grain trucks on the soybean, corn and wheat farms around Dahlgren
Away from the river, King George County held 169 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and soybeans, corn and wheat led its crop list. A grain truck or a single-axle hauler that spends harvest on those fields can be collected from the farm itself; give us the farm road and a landmark at the gate.
Farm trucks are often titled to a family member or the farm’s business name. Check whose name appears on the title before you contact us, so the right person is ready to sign when the truck is picked up.
Replacing a lost certificate at DMV Select in King George
For a Dahlgren owner whose certificate has gone missing, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles reissues it at its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. From Dahlgren Center, the nearest is DMV Select - King George at 13035 Kings Highway, King George, 22485, about 8.9 miles away.
Bring your ID and the truck’s VIN to that office and request the replacement before pickup day. If the title still shows a lienholder, ask the lender for a release first and keep it with the application.
A small workforce on the Potomac shore
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put the jobs located in Dahlgren Center at 556 in 2023, a modest figure for a town built around the base. A service truck, a utility body or a light-duty hauler that supports that work is one we purchase as readily as a tractor.
Whatever the truck did here, the steps are the same: send photos from all four sides, the VIN, the current registration and the address where it sits. With those in hand, we can arrange a pickup in Dahlgren Center or anywhere else in King George County.
