The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Walker Sand & Stone 10.8 miles south of Dahlgren and the Amrize Rappahannock Mine 11.2 miles to the south-west, both recorded as sand and gravel operations. A tandem or tri-axle dump that loads at either pit may well be parked down one of those roads when you get in touch, and we can collect it there.
Further out, a crushed-stone quarry at Stafford sits 23.6 miles west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your dump body has hauled stone from Stafford and the truck now sits in a yard over that way, send the yard address and a gate contact along with the VIN.
Photos of the bed, the hoist, the tag axle and the cab help most for an aggregate truck. Take them in daylight, from all four corners, and include the plate on the door jamb that carries the VIN and gross weight rating.
Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration listings within reach of town: Dumfries, 18.5 miles north-west, and Fredericksburg, 21.4 miles west. Tractors and straight tank trucks that load at those racks are among the vehicles we purchase from King George County owners.
For a fuel tractor, tell us whether the tank trailer goes with it or stays behind, since we can take the tractor alone. Have the title and current Virginia registration in hand, and gather any tank inspection or service records you have kept, so the paperwork matches the unit we pick up.
Trucks near the Navy gate and Pumpkin Neck
Naval Support Facility Dahlgren lies 1.7 miles east of the town centre, and Pumpkin Neck, also a military installation, is 3 miles south-east, both per Bureau of Transportation Statistics records. If a truck you own is parked close to either site, tell us exactly where it stands and whether anyone needs a pass to reach it.
Our driver cannot go onto a controlled installation without access arranged ahead of time, so a truck inside a fence line is best moved to an outside lot, or you can name the person who will escort the pickup.
Clearances on the roads around Dahlgren
Within the area the National Bridge Inventory covers for Dahlgren, 11 bridges are recorded, one of them load-posted and none with clearance under 14 feet. A tall box truck or a loaded lowboy route therefore has no low structure to plan around on those spans.
That single load-posted bridge, listed by the Federal Highway Administration’s inventory, matters if your truck is parked on a farm lane or side road. Tell us the road it sits on, and we will route the recovery truck around any posted crossing on the way in.
Grain trucks, farm straight trucks and the tractors that pull hopper trailers off those fields are trucks we buy.
A farm truck often sits in a barn or at the edge of a field between harvests. Give us the farm address, mention whether the ground is soft after rain, and have the title signed by whoever is named on it, whether that is you, a partner or the farm itself.
Whether you own one work truck or several, the steps below are the same.
Have the title, the registration card and the keys together. If the title is lost, request a replacement from the state’s title agency before pickup day, and tell us when you have applied so the timing lines up with our visit.
