Tankers working the Fredericksburg and Dumfries racks
Just 3.3 miles south of Falmouth, the Fredericksburg petroleum product terminal appears on the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list. A tractor that loads at that rack is often parked close to it between runs, so give us the street address where it sits and a phone number for whoever holds the keys, and we will plan the collection around that spot.
Another petroleum product terminal, at Dumfries, lies 19.2 miles to the north-east according to the same Energy Information Administration listing. If your tanker tractor splits its loads between the two racks, tell us which one it was last at, and send photos of the cab, the frame and the plate with the title.
Crushed stone, sand
Records from the Mine Safety and Health Administration put the Spotsylvania Plant crushed-stone quarry 9.1 miles south-west of town and the STAFFORD crushed-stone quarry 10.5 miles north. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run between those two sites can be collected from a yard near either one; tell us which, and whether the gate is open on weekdays.
To the east and south-east, Woodford-VA Sand & Gravel sits 11.4 miles out and the Amrize Rappahannock Mine 15.1 miles away, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of sand and gravel operations. If your truck is parked at a pit, ask the site manager how a visitor gets in and pass that along with the VIN, so the pickup is arranged with the operator rather than around them.
Carriers on the federal census and what they move
The same census shows 43 hauling motor vehicles, 23 doing driveaway or towaway work and 21 moving machinery and large objects; car haulers, rollbacks and lowboy tractors registered here are all trucks we buy.
Of those 151 operators, 89 run interstate and 62 stay intrastate, while 48 are private fleets hauling their own goods, per the same federal carrier census. A private fleet selling a unit should have the title in the company’s name and someone authorised to sign it; have that person’s name ready when you reach us.
New authority keeps arriving: the FMCSA census shows 17 carriers registered here in 2025 and 9 in 2024. An owner-operator who started in one of those years and is now stepping away can sell the tractor with the title, the registration card and a photo of the door, and we handle the rest from there.
Model years and odometer readings on local tractors
Falmouth-based trucks stopped 115 times between September 2024 and August 2026 show a median model year of 2020 in FMCSA roadside inspection records, and 30.4 percent of those trucks were ten or more model years old. Whichever side of that line your truck falls on, the model year and VIN off the door jamb are the first two things we ask for.
The median truck here covers 21,622 miles a year, a figure FMCSA’s carrier census builds from 46 carriers that report mileage. Read the odometer before you call and send a photo of it along with the VIN.
Three fleets in the federal census run 62, 40 and 37 power units, with 58, 40 and 41 drivers. An operator retiring several units at once can send us one list of VINs, plate numbers and parking addresses, and we will work through the collections as a single job.
Job sites in town, corn and cattle in the county
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 438 jobs in Falmouth in 2023, and construction accounts for 71 of them, 16.2 percent. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 116 construction establishments, which puts dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies on job sites around town; if yours is parked at one, tell us the site and the hours it is open.
Stafford County had 231 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, cattle and honey at the top of the list. Grain trucks and livestock haulers often sit on the farm between seasons, so a field address, a driveway description and a contact who can meet us are what we need to reach them.
Quantico orders
Collections near Quantico
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Marine Corps Base Quantico 15.4 miles north and the Marine Corps Museum 14.2 miles to the north-east. If you are moving away on orders and your truck stays behind, leave it at an address off the base, name someone local who can hand over the keys, and sign the title paperwork from wherever you are posted next.
A title lost during a move is replaced through Virginia’s title agency, and the replacement should be in hand before we collect. If the registration has lapsed while you were away, say so up front; the truck can still be sold once the title is sorted.
