Quarry and mine work around Prince Edward County
Stone comes out of the Prince Edward Plant, a quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration places just 4.3 miles west of Farmville’s center. A dump truck or tractor that runs stone out of that pit is often parked at the quarry or a contractor’s lot rather than in town, so give us the exact address where it sits and we will collect it there.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists two industrial-mineral operations 13.3 miles north: Willis Mt Plant & Mullite Plant, and East Ridge Plant & Gieseke Plant. If your truck has hauled from either site, tell us which one and send photos of the body, the frame and the cab so we can see the whole unit before pickup.
Burkeville Plant, another crushed-stone quarry, is 13.3 miles south-east according to MSHA records. Haul trucks working that corridor between Burkeville and Farmville can be photographed where they stand; have the title and registration together before we arrive.
Thirty-seven carriers with a Farmville address are active in FMCSA’s carrier census, a small roster for a town of 7,774 people. Twenty-five of them list general freight, eight carry machinery and large objects, six haul grain, feed and hay, and six move logs, poles, beams and lumber, so a seller here could be offering anything from a box truck to a log rig.
Twenty of those 37 carriers are registered for interstate work and 17 for intrastate, while 21 run private fleets serving their own business, per the same federal census. If your truck worked for your own company rather than for hire, say so when you call; the paperwork we ask for is the same either way: title, registration and any service records you kept.
In 2025 five carriers joined FMCSA’s census with a Farmville address, after three did so in 2024. A newer operation selling its first truck should have the title in the company’s name and the USDOT number handy.
Farmville fleet sizes and driving range
Among Farmville’s registered carriers, the three largest run 25, nine and seven power units, with 26, 11 and four drivers respectively, according to FMCSA records. A fleet of that size retiring several tractors at once can list every VIN in one message, and we will plan the collection around the yard they share.
Carriers here report 51 drivers working within 100 miles and 58 working beyond it, on FMCSA’s census figures. A truck that ranges past that radius may be out of state when you decide to sell; tell us where it will be parked and we pick it up there.
Fifteen local carriers give FMCSA a yearly mileage, and their median truck covers 20,000 miles. Have the odometer reading ready when you contact us, along with a clear photo of the dash.
Cattle, tobacco and soybean country
Prince Edward County has 323 farms, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names cattle, tobacco and soybeans as its leading products. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm-plated tractors are often kept in a barn or field lot, so describe the access when you send the location.
Six Farmville carriers list grain, feed and hay as a cargo in the federal carrier census. If your truck carried farm loads under a farm registration, include that registration with the title so the transfer is straightforward.
Contractors, suppliers and their trucks
Farmville counted 5,537 jobs in 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with construction holding 114 of them (2.1 percent) and wholesale trade 99 (1.8 percent). Dump trucks, flatbeds and delivery straight trucks from those trades can be sold from the job site or the shop.
Prince Edward County’s builders add up to 42 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor selling one truck from a mixed fleet should send the VIN, photos of all four sides and any inspection records kept on that unit.
Rail and titles
The Crewe yard and paperwork
Freight trains meet trucks at the CREWE yard, 16.6 miles south-east, as mapped in the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that shuttle freight to and from that yard can be collected there or at your base, wherever is easier for you.
If the title has gone missing, Virginia’s title agency issues a replacement to the owner on record. Start that request before you contact us, and send the registration in the meantime so we can match the VIN.
The questions we get asked in Farmville
- Will you collect a truck parked at the Prince Edward Plant quarry?That quarry sits 4.3 miles west of Farmville on MSHA’s mine register, and we collect from it or from any lot where your truck is parked; send the address and the gate access details.
- Will you take a Farmville log truck that hauls poles and lumber?Six Farmville carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber in FMCSA’s census, and log trucks are on the list of what we purchase; send the title, registration and photos of the bunks and the cab.
- My farm business keeps its own private fleet; is selling one of its trucks any different?Twenty-one Farmville carriers operate private fleets in the federal carrier census, and selling one of those trucks needs the same title and registration as any for-hire unit.
