South on the fuel run
The Fairfax terminal, under ten miles down the road
A fuel tanker or tank-trailer tractor that loads there and spends its nights back in town can be collected right where it sits; send us the street address and say whether a gate or a key box stands between us and the cab.
For a tanker, tell us the trailer type and whether the tractor and trailer are being sold together or apart. Photos of the tank, the cab, the frame rails and the data plate, sent with the VIN, give us the whole unit on the Fairfax side or in your yard.
Ten miles west, Chantilly Crushed Stone Incorporated runs a crushed-stone quarry that appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and the Leesburg Plant, another crushed-stone operation on that agency’s list, lies 11.8 miles out in the same direction. Tri-axle dumps, end dumps and the tractors hauling aggregate trailers between those pits and job sites are trucks we buy.
If your dump truck is still parked at a quarry lot in Chantilly or Leesburg, it can stay there. Give us the name of whoever controls the site so the pickup is cleared with them, and include a photo of the body and the hoist along with the VIN plate.
Sterling Blvd.
A replacement title four and a half miles away
Of those, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles lists DMV Customer Service Center - Sterling - Sterling Blvd. as the closest to Great Falls Crossing, about 4.5 miles away. The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles gives its address as 22360 S. Sterling Blvd. Unit D112, Sterling, 20164, on the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles location list.
Have the title in hand, signed by every owner it lists, before the truck goes. If it has gone missing, a trip to that Sterling office starts the replacement; bring the registration as well, since it carries the VIN and owner name the duplicate will be issued against.
A lien still shown on the title needs a release from the lender. Tell us about it at the start and we can plan the paperwork around it rather than discover it on collection day.
Norfolk Southern TBT and the research campuses
A tractor that has worked out of that rail-served terminal can be sold from wherever it is parked now, whether that is near the terminal or back at home.
In that same south-east direction, about 13.5 and 13.6 miles away, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, each listed as a military installation. If a box truck or straight truck of yours made deliveries on that side of the county, keep any service records you have together with the title so they arrive with it.
Horses, nurseries and bees
Paddock and nursery haulers near Great Falls Crossing
Around Great Falls Crossing, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 77 farms in the county, with equine operations at the top of the list ahead of potted flowering plants and honey. Horse-hauling rigs, flatbeds and the straight trucks that carry nursery stock are the kinds of farm vehicles that turn up on ground like that.
A farm truck parked in a barn or behind a paddock can be picked up there. Tell us how close a tow vehicle can get to it, and send pictures of the bed or the box as well as the cab and the odometer.
