Yards and tanks across the Appomattox from Enon
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the HOPEWELL (NS) yard 2.7 miles south-east of Enon and the Vireol Ethanol Hopewell siding 2.9 miles out on the same bearing. For a tractor that shuttled loads to either one, give us the street address where it is parked and a name for whoever holds the keys.
Three miles east, the Energy Information Administration lists the Hopewell petroleum product terminal, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records two liquid bulk terminals at 3 and 3.2 miles. If you own a tank truck or a tractor that pulled tankers into those gates, have the title, the current registration and any tank test certificates on hand before you call us.
Photograph the cab, the VIN plate, the odometer and both sides of the unit, then send the pictures with the address in Enon or Hopewell where it waits.
In FMCSA’s census, 45 hold interstate authority, 37 haul within Virginia only and 30 are private fleets moving their own goods. A seller here could be a lone owner-operator or the shop manager of a company that keeps its own trucks.
The same federal census shows the three biggest fleets in Enon running 150, 42 and 18 power units, with 139, 21 and 9 drivers respectively. If you are retiring several units from a yard at once, list each VIN with its title status and we will plan the collection for the whole group.
Owners who started recently and want to sell a tractor should make sure the title carries the same name as the registration, with a lien release if a lender was ever listed.
Steel coils, lumber and general freight
General freight is listed by 60 of the Enon carriers in FMCSA’s census, metal sheets, coils and rolls by 19, machinery and large objects by 16, and logs, poles, beams and lumber by 14. Flatbeds, step decks, lowboys and log trailers turn up here alongside dry vans.
When you contact us about a flatbed or a heavy-haul tractor, tell us which trailer it pulled and whether the trailer is part of the sale. Straps, chains, binders and tarps stay with you unless you would like them to go with the truck.
Box trucks and tractors from distribution work belong on the list of what we purchase; bring the registration and any service records the shop kept.
Of the drivers working for Enon carriers, 187 stay within 100 miles of base and 232 go beyond it, FMCSA’s carrier census shows. A long-haul sleeper may be sitting at a terminal in another state when you decide to sell, and that is fine: tell us where it is and we arrange collection at that spot.
Among the 28 local carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 21,078 miles per truck each year. Write down the odometer reading when you photograph the dash, so the figure you give us matches the one we see on arrival.
Whatever the model year, the paperwork we ask for is the same: the title, the registration and the VIN. If the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and starting that request before you list the truck with us keeps the sale moving.
Sand, gravel and construction near Enon
Dump trucks and tri-axles hauling from those pits are trucks we purchase; send pictures of the body and the hoist along with the cab.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 37 construction establishments and 6 warehousing establishments for the Enon area. A contractor selling a dump truck, a roll-off or a flatbed off a job site can leave it on the site, provided someone can let us in on the day.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 162 farms in Chesterfield County, led by equine operations, soybeans and corn. Grain trucks and livestock haulers from those farms qualify too, and a farm truck parked in a barn lot is collected from there.
