Quarry hauling between Chantilly and Bull Run
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Chantilly Crushed Stone Incorporated 5.4 miles west of Franklin Farm, with the Bull Run Plant, another crushed-stone quarry, 9.1 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or tri-axle that loads aggregate at either pit can be collected at the yard where it is parked between shifts; give us that address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
If your truck is still parked inside the Chantilly or Bull Run fence line, say so in your first message. We will arrange the collection around the site’s visitor rules, and the photos you send should show the bed, the hoist and the cab from both sides.
Fuel racks south-east, bulk liquid out east
Roughly 7.8 miles south-east, the Energy Information Administration places the FAIRFAX petroleum product terminal. If your tractor or straight-truck tanker has pulled from that rack, keep the tank’s latest test certificate and any hazmat placarding records together, since those are the first papers we ask a fuel hauler for.
Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics 16.2 miles east of town. Trucks that shuttle between there and the Fairfax rack can be picked up at either end; send the VIN, the registration card and a note of which trailer, if any, comes with the tractor.
General freight, reefers and paper loads
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 90 active motor carriers based in Franklin Farm; 68 list general freight, and 9 each list refrigerated food, meat and paper products. Owners of a reefer unit should include the reefer’s hour meter reading and its make alongside the truck’s photos.
Of those 90, FMCSA’s carrier census shows 58 operating interstate and 32 intrastate only, with 23 running as private fleets that haul their own goods. If your truck belongs to a private fleet, have the company officer who signs titles ready to sign, along with a letter authorising the sale if someone else is handling it.
Franklin Farm added 11 freshly registered carriers in 2024 and another 8 in 2025, by FMCSA’s registration figures. A one-truck operation that registered recently should have its USDOT number and the title in the business name side by side when it contacts us.
Across 133 trucks checked between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records show a median model year of 2022, and 9.02 percent of them were ten or more model years old. Whichever year yours is, the door-jamb sticker and a clear photo of the odometer settle the specifics before anything else.
Among 28 local carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA, the median was 50,000 miles per truck. Have your current reading and the service log handy; a list of when the oil, filters and tires were last done answers most of what we would otherwise phone you about.
The three biggest operations based here, per the federal carrier census, run 149, 100 and 30 power units. If you are releasing several units from one fleet at once, a spreadsheet of VINs, plate numbers and parking locations lets us plan a single collection run.
Construction firms, jobs and short-haul drivers
Sixty-three construction businesses operate around Franklin Farm, going by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Contractors with a flatbed, a dump body or a box truck tied up in a project yard can sell it from that yard; tell us whether a loader or forklift is on site in case equipment rides on the bed.
According to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, Franklin Farm held 2,257 jobs, 57 of them, or 2.5 percent, in wholesale trade. FMCSA filings show 1,311 drivers registered to carriers here working within 100 miles and 2,095 going beyond that radius, so your truck may be sitting at a terminal out of state when you call; give us that address rather than your home one.
Titles, registration and farm trucks in Fairfax County
Horse operations lead Fairfax County’s 77 farms, ahead of potted flowering plants and honey, in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A horse hauler or nursery truck kept on one of those properties can be collected from the barn or greenhouse lot; mention any narrow lane or soft ground at the entrance.
If the title has gone missing, Virginia’s title agency issues the replacement, and it must be in the registered owner’s name before the truck changes hands. Start that request early, and keep the current registration, any lien release from the bank, and a photo ID for each owner named on the title.
