Dry freight, paper rolls and moving vans
Of the 196 active motor carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Glen Allen, general freight is a listed cargo for 144. If your tractor has spent its working life on dry van or flatbed general freight, have the title and current Virginia registration in one folder before you contact us, so the VIN on both matches the door sticker.
Motor vehicles show up as a cargo for 24 Glen Allen carriers, household goods for 22 and paper products for 21, according to the same FMCSA census. Car haulers, moving vans and box trucks that carried paper rolls are all trucks we collect here; tell us the body type and trailer setup so the pickup plan fits the truck.
In the FMCSA census, 97 Glen Allen carriers are registered for interstate work, 99 for intrastate, and 40 run as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck is often titled to the parent business rather than a person, so check whose name sits on the title and who can sign for that company.
Rail yards and fuel racks south toward Richmond
The North American Rail Network places the ACCA rail yard 5.5 miles south of Glen Allen, and the RICHMOND yard 9.8 miles south. If your drayage tractor shuttles between those yards and Henrico customers, give us the lot address where it sits and the name of whoever controls access.
Transflo CSXT, a liquid bulk terminal listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies 5.6 miles south of town. If your tanker tractor loaded there, bring any terminal entry records or tank inspection paperwork you kept; they let us see where the unit worked without guessing.
Two petroleum product terminals both named RICHMOND appear in Energy Information Administration listings at 10.1 and 10.3 miles south. A fuel tractor parked at either rack can be collected where it sits once you share the address and a gate contact.
Royal Stone, the Rockville plant and Henrico construction
Royal Stone, a crushed-stone quarry on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, is 9.1 miles west, and the ROCKVILLE PLANT quarry sits 10 miles west. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump tractors that haul from those pits can be picked up at the quarry lot or your own yard; send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab with your first message.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 171 construction establishments in Glen Allen, against only 3 in warehousing. If you are a contractor selling more than one dump truck, roll-off or flatbed, list every VIN and where each one is parked.
Construction accounts for 316 of Glen Allen’s 5,440 jobs, or 5.8 percent, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, with wholesale trade at 194 jobs. Gather the service logs from your contractor’s shop before you reach out, since they answer most of our questions in one go.
What roadside inspections say about Glen Allen rigs
Across 86 Glen Allen trucks inspected between October 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2019, with 25.6 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, the year, make and engine on the registration are the first three things we ask for.
Among 51 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median is 35,000 miles per truck each year. Read the odometer and photograph it before you call, so the figure we work from is the one on your dash.
FMCSA’s census counts 305 Glen Allen drivers working within 100 miles of base and 244 going further. Long-haul sleepers may be parked out of state when you decide to sell; tell us the state and city where the truck is and we arrange collection there.
Owner-operators, new carriers and Henrico farms
The three biggest fleets based here run 31, 23 and 18 power units according to FMCSA’s carrier census,. If you are a one-truck owner-operator, the title in your own name and a photo ID are all the paperwork the sale needs to start.
FMCSA’s census logs 24 carriers that registered in Glen Allen during 2025, up from 12 in 2024. A carrier that bought a truck recently may still have a lienholder on the title; if so, have the lender’s name and payoff contact ready so the lien release can be arranged.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 84 farms in Henrico County, with soybeans, honey and cattle at the top. A farm truck or grain hauler parked on one of those properties is collected from the farm itself, so share directions to the barn or field gate.
The questions we get asked in Glen Allen
- Can my dump truck stay at the Royal Stone or Rockville quarry lot for pickup?Royal Stone and the ROCKVILLE PLANT quarry sit 9.1 and 10 miles west of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from either lot. Tell us who runs the gate so the pickup is cleared with them.
- Which office replaces a lost title for a Henrico County tractor?Henrico County trucks are titled through Virginia’s state title agency, so a missing title for a Glen Allen truck is replaced there. Request the duplicate, and tell us when you start so we can plan around it.
- Can you collect a tractor from a rail yard south of town?The ACCA yard 5.5 miles south and the RICHMOND yard 9.8 miles south both appear on the North American Rail Network, and a tractor parked at either can be picked up there. Send the yard address and an access contact.
