Kiln and quarry
Cement and stone just outside Daleville
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Roanoke Cement Company, a cement plant 5.3 miles north-west of Daleville. Bulk tankers and dump trucks that have run in and out of that kiln site are the kind of truck we buy here, so tell us the body type, the axle setup and whether a pneumatic tank or a dump bed is mounted on it.
Martin Marietta’s Blue Ridge Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 6.8 miles east of town, appears in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your tri-axle or quad dump hauled aggregate from that pit, photograph the bed, the hoist and the data plate on the door jamb, and have the VIN written down before you call.
Racks and tank farms
Terminals south toward Roanoke
Roanoke 1, a petroleum product terminal 9.4 miles south of Daleville, is on the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list, and Montvale Piedmont, another petroleum product terminal, sits 10.2 miles east. A tractor that pulled fuel trailers from either rack can be collected at your yard or your house in Botetourt County; send the address and say whether a tractor and lowboy trailer can turn around on the property.
Two liquid bulk terminals turn up in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings near town: Norfolk Southern TBT, 9.4 miles south, and Associated Asphalt, 10.6 miles south-west. For a tanker tractor or an asphalt distributor that served those sites, keep the registration card and any tank test certificates together with the title so the paperwork travels with the truck.
Daleville trucks and the Roanoke and South Roanoke yards
Down the valley from Daleville, the Roanoke yard sits 10.2 miles south-west and South Roanoke 10.8 miles due south, both mapped in the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Day cabs that shuttle freight off those yards fit what we take, and we can meet the tractor wherever it is parked between shifts.
If your tractor is sitting at a terminal lot in Roanoke rather than at home in Daleville, give us the lot’s street address and the name of whoever can hand over the keys. That one detail lets us set the collection without you driving it back up the valley.
Distribution work dominates Daleville’s job count
Wholesale trade accounts for 940 of the 3,227 jobs counted in Daleville for 2023, a 29.1 percent share, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks, reefers and tractors that run distribution routes out of those warehouses are welcome; list the body length and the liftgate, if one is fitted, when you send photos.
The same LEHD figures from the Census Bureau put 56 Daleville jobs in construction and 71 in manufacturing, while County Business Patterns lists 14 construction establishments. Contractors winding down a flatbed, a crane truck or a service body from that work should gather the title, the current registration and any service invoices before we talk.
Livestock, grain and dairy trucks off Botetourt County farms
Botetourt County holds 529 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle lead its products ahead of corn and then milk. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and bulk milk tankers off those farms are trucks we purchase, and a truck parked in a barn lot or a field gate is fine to collect from.
Farm trucks are sometimes titled to a parent or an old farm partnership rather than the person selling. Check whose name is on the Virginia title before you reach out; if it is lost, the state’s title agency issues a replacement, and starting that early keeps the sale moving.
The questions we get asked in Daleville
- Can my dump truck be picked up at Martin Marietta’s Blue Ridge pit east of Daleville?The Blue Ridge Quarry sits 6.8 miles east of Daleville on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and a dump truck parked there, at your home or at a contractor’s yard can be collected where it stands once you send the address.
- Should I mention that my tanker loaded at the Montvale Piedmont fuel rack?Roanoke 1 and Montvale Piedmont are both petroleum product terminals on the Energy Information Administration’s list, 9.4 and 10.2 miles from town; tell us which rack your tractor loaded at and send its registration and VIN with the photos.
- The title to my Botetourt cattle truck has gone missing; what now?With 529 farms in Botetourt County per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, older farm titles do go missing; apply to the state’s title agency for a duplicate in the name shown on the registration, and send us that registration meanwhile.
- Do you buy box trucks from warehouse routes around Daleville?Wholesale trade holds 940 of Daleville’s 3,227 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and box trucks and reefers from those routes are trucks we buy; send photos of the cargo box, the cab and the VIN plate.
