Two Fairfax fuel terminals just south-west of Dunn Loring
The Energy Information Administration places the FAIRFAX petroleum product terminal 3.9 miles south-west of Dunn Loring, with the FAIRFAX BLENDING TERMINAL at 4 miles in the same direction. If your tank truck or fuel tractor loads at either rack, give us the yard address where it is kept and the name of whoever holds the keys.
Fuel haulers usually keep a folder of tank test and hazmat inspection paperwork, and that folder is useful to us. Photograph the tank barrel, the valves and the data plate along with the cab, and send the title owner’s name exactly as it reads on the Virginia title.
Tank trailers between Fairfax and Norfolk Southern TBT
Head 8.3 miles south-east of Dunn Loring and you reach Norfolk Southern TBT, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics files as a liquid bulk terminal. A tractor that pulls tank trailers between that rail transfer point and the Fairfax racks may be kept at a terminal lot rather than at the owner’s house.
If yours is one of them, tell us which lot it is on and whether a gate code or escort is needed. We arrange collection where the truck stands, so the tractor does not have to come back to Dunn Loring first.
From Dunn Loring the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s quarry list puts Chantilly Crushed Stone Incorporated 14.4 miles to the west and GRAHAM-VIRGINIA 14.5 miles to the south, both producing crushed stone. Dump trucks, tri-axles and tractors with end-dump trailers cycle out of pits like these toward Fairfax County job sites.
A dump truck that works a quarry may be parked at the pit or at a contractor’s yard nearby. Send us the VIN, the body type and a photo of the bed and hoist, and if the Virginia title is missing, the Department of Motor Vehicles issues the replacement before the sale closes.
Building crews and wholesale docks around Dunn Loring
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) record 1,971 jobs in Dunn Loring, and 158 of them, or 8 percent, sit in construction. Box trucks, flatbeds and small dumps that serve those crews tend to stay close to home between jobs.
That same LEHD release counts 99 wholesale trade jobs here, 5 percent of the total. A straight truck or day cab running wholesale deliveries can be sold from a warehouse dock; tell us the dock hours and we schedule around them, and bring the registration card along with the title.
Stock trailers and nursery trucks on Fairfax County farms
Fairfax County had 77 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with equine, potted flowering plants and honey at the top of its list. Horse operations run stock trailers and the trucks that tow them; nurseries move plants in box trucks and stake beds.
On a horse farm or nursery, the title holder and the driver are not always the same person. Check whose name the Virginia title carries before you call us, and if it is in an estate or a business name, tell us early so the right person signs.
Research offices six miles east
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Air Force Office of Scientific Research 6.5 miles east of Dunn Loring and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency at 6.6 miles. Trucks that service sites like these may need a pass to enter, so if yours is parked on secured ground, say so before we set a pickup.
In most cases moving the truck to an open lot or your driveway makes the collection simpler. Wherever it sits, have the title, the keys and any service records in one place when our driver arrives.
The questions we get asked in Dunn Loring
- My fuel truck stays at a terminal near Fairfax; does it need to come home first?The Energy Information Administration puts the two Fairfax fuel terminals about 4 miles south-west of Dunn Loring, and we collect from a terminal lot like those. Send the terminal lot address with a contact at the gate for our driver.
- My dump truck hauls from Chantilly Crushed Stone; will you collect it at the pit?Chantilly Crushed Stone Incorporated is 14.4 miles west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, and collecting from a pit or a nearby yard is routine for us. Tell us where the truck stands and who has the keys.
- Which office replaces a lost Virginia title for my Dunn Loring truck?Virginia titles are issued by the state Department of Motor Vehicles, so a replacement for a Dunn Loring truck comes from there. Start the request before the sale so the title is in hand when we collect.
- Do you buy farm trucks and stock trailers from Fairfax County?Fairfax County’s 77 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lean toward horses, nursery plants and honey, and the trucks and trailers that serve them are ones we purchase. Send photos and the title owner’s name.
