Newington tank farms and the Norfolk Southern TBT terminal
Two petroleum product terminals listed by the Energy Information Administration, NEWINGTON and NEWINGTON 2, lie 4.2 and 4.6 miles west of Groveton. A tractor that has loaded at those racks is often parked near them between shifts, so give us the yard address off Newington rather than your home address and we will plan the collection at the lot.
About 3.8 miles north, the Norfolk Southern TBT liquid bulk terminal appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics facility listings. If your tanker or day cab worked that terminal, put the title, the current Virginia registration and any hazmat or tank test paperwork in one folder before you call; those are the first things we ask to see for a bulk unit.
Collecting near the Belvoir and Mark Center gates
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Fort Belvoir is 3.9 miles south-west of town and Mark Center is 5.6 miles north. Gate access at either installation is controlled, so if the truck sits behind a fence there, tell us who can escort a driver in or move the truck to an outside lot first.
Box trucks and straight trucks that ran deliveries to those two installations usually carry a log of the routes and service stops they made. Send that along with photos of the cab, the cargo body and the VIN plate, and the questions we come back with will be about your truck rather than about where it went.
Freight vans, packers and moving trucks in Groveton
General freight is the cargo for 62 of Groveton’s 103 active carriers, the tally in FMCSA’s carrier census. That points to dry vans, reefers and straight trucks; have the bill of sale from when you bought the unit, plus the title, ready so the paperwork matches the truck we see.
On FMCSA’s carrier census, 11 Groveton carriers list garbage, refuse and trash as cargo, 8 list driveaway or towaway work and 8 list household goods. Roll-offs, rear loaders, rollbacks and moving vans all fit what we collect, and a packer body or a moving box should be photographed open as well as closed.
Of those carriers, 66 run interstate, 37 stay intrastate and 36 operate as private fleets, the FMCSA census shows. A private fleet truck may be titled to the parent business rather than a trucking company, so check whose name is on the Virginia title before we schedule anything.
Small owner fleets on short local loops
The three biggest fleets based here run 15, 6 and 4 power units, under FMCSA’s carrier census, so most sellers we hear from in Groveton own one truck or a handful. Selling two or three at once works the same way as one: send each VIN and each title and we arrange the collections together.
Across 32 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median truck covered 19,108 miles a year, and drivers tally 113 working within 100 miles against 66 beyond it. A short-haul local truck like that is usually found in a Fairfax County yard or driveway, which is where we come to it.
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covered 36 trucks between October 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2008.5 and 63.9 percent of them ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, read the odometer and the engine hours off the dash and include them with your first message.
Stone from Graham-Virginia, crews across Fairfax
Construction accounted for 88 of the 2,229 jobs located in Groveton in 2023, against 63 in transportation and warehousing, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau adds 64 construction establishments in the area; dump trucks, flatbeds and crane trucks from that work are all trucks we collect.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the GRAHAM-VIRGINIA crushed-stone quarry 9.2 miles south-west and the Manassas quarry 22.3 miles west. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauled stone from either site can stay parked at the contractor’s yard; tell us the address and whether a lowboy or a tow rig can reach it.
Title papers for start-ups and county farm units
FMCSA’s census shows 13 carriers starting up in Groveton in 2024 and 7 more in 2025. If you bought your truck recently and the title has not come back from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles yet, tell us that up front, because the DMV is the office that issues a replacement or a transferred title.
Horse operations head the list for Fairfax County’s 77 farms, with potted flowering plants and honey behind them, in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Nursery delivery trucks, horse-hauling pickups and farm-plated units are welcome too; a farm-use registration still needs the title in the seller’s name before collection.
The questions we get asked in Groveton
- My tractor sits at a Newington terminal lot west of town; does it have to come to Groveton first?The NEWINGTON terminals sit about 4.2 to 4.6 miles west of town on Energy Information Administration listings, and we collect from the lot itself. Give us the yard name and a contact who can let a driver in.
- Could you pick up a truck that is parked on post at Fort Belvoir?Fort Belvoir lies 3.9 miles south-west of Groveton per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and access is controlled at the gate. Arrange an escort or move the truck to an outside lot, then send us the location.
- Would you take a rear-loader packer from a Groveton refuse route?Eleven carriers in Groveton haul garbage, refuse and trash on FMCSA’s carrier census, and refuse trucks are part of what we collect. Photograph the packer body open and closed, and tell us whose name the Virginia title carries.
- The Virginia title for my Groveton truck is missing; which office replaces it?Titles for trucks registered in Groveton come from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, which issues the replacement. Start that request first and tell us when it is in process.
