Tanker work at the south-west Richmond fuel gates
The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals under the Richmond name, at 4.4 and 4.5 miles south-west of East Highland Park. If your tractor has pulled fuel tankers out of those gates, tell us whether the tank trailer goes with it or stays behind, so we know exactly what we are collecting.
A liquid bulk terminal, Transflo CSXT, appears 4.9 miles west in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. Rail-to-truck transfer work like that leaves a trail of load tickets and site passes; keep the ones you still have with the title, and send photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel when you first get in touch.
Fulton and the Richmond yard, south of town
Per the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Fulton rail yard lies 4.8 miles south and a second Richmond yard 5 miles south-west. Day cabs that shuttle between those yards and Henrico warehouses are the kind of tractor we buy here, sleeper or not.
Drayage tractors often sit in a yard rather than at home between shifts. If yours is parked inside a fenced lot near Fulton, give us the street address and the name of someone who can unlock it, and we will arrange the collection with them directly.
A roll-on/roll-off dock and a stone quarry to the south
Port of Virginia’s Richmond Marine Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off terminal on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, is 8.4 miles south of East Highland Park. A tractor that has moved boxes or rolling cargo off that dock can be collected where it stands, so there is no need to bring it back up to Henrico first.
South Richmond Quarry, a crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, sits 6.5 miles south-west. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate from there are welcome; have the registration and any scale or site records ready, and include a photo of the bed and the hoist with the others.
Henrico jobs that keep trucks on the road
In 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,173 jobs in East Highland Park, and construction accounted for 375 of them, or 17.3 percent. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 44 construction establishments, so a dump truck, flatbed or service body owned by a local contractor is a familiar sale for us.
Wholesale trade held 169 jobs and transportation and warehousing 163, with manufacturing at 133, all from the same LEHD release. Box trucks and straight trucks from distribution work are on our list too; the VIN and a current odometer reading are the two details to send before anything else.
Inspectors stopped 109 trucks tied to East Highland Park from September 2024 to August 2026, and the FMCSA roadside inspection records from those stops put the median model year at 2017.
Of those inspected trucks, 38.5 percent were ten or more model years old, according to the same FMCSA roadside records. Whatever the model year on your title, send it with the make and model, and we will ask for anything else we need from there.
Henrico County farm trucks: beans, hives and herds
Henrico County has 84 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, where soybeans lead, followed by honey and then cattle, and grain trucks or livestock haulers from those operations are trucks we collect from the farm itself.
Before you contact us, check whose name is on the farm truck’s title; if it is a relative or the farm business rather than you, tell us at the start so the right person signs.
The questions we get asked in East Highland Park
