Trucks that serve the installation
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Fort Belvoir military installation 0.9 miles west of the town centre, close enough that a box truck or flatbed delivering to the post may be parked a short drive from the gate. If yours sits on or beside the installation, tell us who can let a driver in and what access paperwork that gate asks for, so the collection is arranged before anyone arrives.
Mark Center, a second military installation, is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics 8.2 miles north. Contractors who split their routes between the two posts often keep a tractor at one and a straight truck at the other. Give us both addresses if you are selling more than one, and we will plan each pickup where that vehicle actually stands.
Tankers from the Newington terminals
Two petroleum product terminals, NEWINGTON and NEWINGTON 2, appear in Energy Information Administration records 2.7 and 2.9 miles north-west of Fort Belvoir. A fuel tanker or tank trailer that loads there is something we buy, and the useful things to have on hand are the title, the current registration and any tank test or inspection certificates that came with it.
Further up the road, Norfolk Southern TBT is a liquid bulk terminal 6.3 miles north according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. When a tractor has pulled bulk liquid between that rail terminal and the Newington racks, say which loads it carried; that tells us which questions to ask about the trailer and which to skip.
Dump trucks and the quarries to the west
GRAHAM-VIRGINIA, a crushed-stone quarry, lies 6.4 miles west in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and the agency records a second one, Manassas, 20.7 miles out in the same direction. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump trailers hauling aggregate from either site fit what we purchase.
A quarry truck is often parked at the pit or a contractor’s yard rather than at home. Send photos of the bed, the hoist, the cab and the VIN plate, plus the street address of the yard, and tell us whether a loaded or empty truck is blocking the way out.
Service vans for work around the Fort Belvoir gate
For 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 3,755 jobs in Fort Belvoir. Service vans, utility bodies and delivery trucks used for that work are part of what we collect, from a driveway or a work lot alike.
Whatever the job, the paperwork stays the same: the title in the seller’s name, the registration card and any service records. If the title has gone missing, Virginia’s Department of Motor Vehicles issues the replacement, and it helps to start that request before we schedule the pickup.
Horse and nursery haulers across the county
Equine operations top the farm list for the county around Fort Belvoir in USDA’s 2022 farm census, with potted flowering plants and honey behind them, out of 77 farms in all. Stock trucks, gooseneck tractors that pull horse trailers and enclosed box trucks loaded with potted nursery stock are all vehicles we take.
If your truck worked one of those 77 farms that USDA counted, tell us whether it waits in a barn lot or a pasture and whether a pickup with a trailer can get down the farm lane. A photo of the approach saves a second trip.
The questions we get asked in Fort Belvoir
- Does a tank truck sitting by the NEWINGTON fuel racks have to be driven anywhere first?Energy Information Administration records put NEWINGTON 2.7 miles north-west of Fort Belvoir, and we collect from that area directly. Pass along the terminal lot’s street address and a contact who can open its fence for our driver.
- Can you pick up a dump truck from the quarry at Manassas?The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Manassas quarry 20.7 miles west, and a truck parked there is collected where it stands. Send the VIN and a photo of the bed with your contact details.
- The title for a truck I ran on post at Fort Belvoir is lost; which office reissues a Virginia title?Fort Belvoir is in Virginia, so the Department of Motor Vehicles issues a replacement title. Start that request first, then tell us the truck’s location near the installation.
