Prince George County
The data still calls this place by a name it stopped using
The node attached to this place is the installation itself, an active Army post whose coordinate is taken from the centroid of its polygon rather than from a gate and reverse-geocodes to Prince George County. The interesting thing about the record is what it calls the post.
The node list carries Fort Gregg-Adams, the name adopted in 2023. In 2025 the installation went back to Fort Lee. Not for the Confederate general this time: for Private Fitz Lee, a Buffalo Soldier from Dinwiddie County who was awarded the Medal of Honor in the Spanish-American War.
The row itself has not caught up, and it disagrees with itself in a way worth pointing at. Its city field reads fort-lee while its name field reads Fort Gregg-Adams, so a single record carries both eras at once. We have written the page to the name the place uses now and left the record’s own wording visible rather than quietly overwriting it.
What the record does not carry
Beyond the name and the county, this row is thin, and we would rather say so
That naming detail is most of what this node states. There is no headcount on it, no acreage, no tenant list and no bridge measurement — unlike the quarry and rail rows elsewhere in this work, which carry road networks measured in ten-mile circles.
So we are not going to describe the traffic here by inference. What the row does carry is a coordinate 0.96 miles from the centroid of the place it is named for, inside it rather than nearest to it, which is how 33 of the 47 military rows in this state are joined. The service radius on it is 50 miles, with the stated reason that base support and contractor traffic is local — an estimated constant applied across installations rather than a measurement of this one, flagged as estimated in the source, and we are repeating the flag.
What is safe to say comes from the shape of the work rather than from the file: a post generates construction, grounds, waste and materials contracts, and the trucks on them run short legs with many stops. That is a claim about how posts work, not a claim about this post’s records, and we would rather ask you than assume.
Virginia paperwork
Three salvage tests in one chapter, and a rebuilt test that runs inside out
None of that touches your paperwork, which is fixed by the code rather than by a node record, and Virginia writes it unusually. Va. Code § 46.2-1600 sets three salvage thresholds where most states set one. A late model vehicle is salvage where estimated repair would exceed its actual cash value less its current salvage value. A recovered stolen vehicle acquired by an insurer is salvage above seventy-five per cent of actual cash value. A vehicle is nonrepairable above ninety per cent of its value before the damage.
Subtracting the salvage value makes the base smaller, so that first test is easier to trip rather than harder — the opposite of what comparing the bare percentages suggests. The rebuilt test then runs inside out: it measures the repair cost excluding damage to the engine, transmission or drive axle assembly, the exact inverse of Oklahoma, which counts only the suspension, motor, transmission, frame and structural components.
Late model is the current model year and the five preceding, or any vehicle whose value before the damage met the floor the section names, so an older truck outside that limb sits outside the salvage regime altogether. The repair figure also excludes towing, storage, a temporary replacement and diminished-value compensation — storage and diminished value being two items no other state on file names.
Weight is set at § 46.2-1122 and § 46.2-1127 — 20,000 lb on a single axle, 34,000 lb on a tandem and 80,000 lb gross — and the interstate limits are the same as the highway limits, so there is no inversion here to catch a driver out at the ramp.
What we buy here
The offer does not sort by truck type
Those rules apply to whatever you drive, and the offer does not sort by type either. Dump trucks and tandems off the contract work that Prince George County runs on, including whatever keeps a post going whose coordinate sits 0.96 miles from the middle of the place and whose recorded working radius is 50 miles. Day cabs and road tractors on the runs up the corridor. Flatbeds, box trucks, straight trucks and rollbacks out of the trades, plus service bodies and the crew pickups that go with them.
Whatever you drive, the offer doesn’t change. We buy all of them.
Getting it to us is the part that flexes. We can come to you and drive it away, or come and tow it; we can also buy it remotely and arrange the tow with nobody visiting at all, and you are welcome to bring it here instead. If the truck sits behind a gate, remote is usually simpler for everyone.
We buy complete trucks. If the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Small things — a missing bumper — are fine.
Straight answers
The questions we get asked in Fort Lee
- Does it have to run?No. It does have to be complete — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Rust is not a disqualifier.
- Your records have the old name on them.They have the 2023 name, Fort Gregg-Adams, and the post went back to Fort Lee in 2025 — for Private Fitz Lee of Dinwiddie County rather than for the general. The row carries both at once. It has no bearing on an offer; we mention it because we would rather you saw the record than a tidied version of it.
- The truck is on the installation.Not a problem for us, though it can be for access. Buying it remotely and arranging the tow is often cleanest — you handle the pass or bring it to the fence line, we handle everything after that. The 50 miles of local contract work around a post is the traffic we see most of.
- How am I paid?Cash or electronic payment. That is the whole list.
- What about the title?We need one unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. A lost title has a counter replacement; where none exists there is a bonded route.
Why people call
None of those questions is why the phone rings. Retiring. A medical that went the wrong way. A contract that finished and was not renewed. A dump truck standing out a Prince George County winter at the edge of a yard 0.96 miles from a post the files still call Fort Gregg-Adams, insurance going out on something that is not turning a wheel.
Most of those aren’t happy reasons, and we don’t treat them like they are. Somebody wants a straight answer and the truck gone. That’s what we’re here for.
Virginia title rules read from the Code of Virginia in August 2026 — verify with Virginia DMV before acting on them. Salvage, nonrepairable and rebuilt definitions at Va. Code § 46.2-1600; weight limits at § 46.2-1122 and § 46.2-1127. The node record for this installation carries the 2023 name, Fort Gregg-Adams, while its own city field reads fort-lee; the post reverted to Fort Lee in 2025, named for Private Fitz Lee. Both are stated and neither is overwritten. The coordinate is the polygon centroid rather than a gate and the county is reverse-geocoded. The 50-mile service radius is an estimated constant applied across installations, flagged as estimated in the source. NO headcount, acreage, tenant list or bridge measurement is carried for this node and none is stated here. Whether Virginia has any seasonal or frost provision was not determined for this node’s research batch and none is stated here. Information, not legal advice.
