Rockingham County
The same company works two pits in this county, and only one of them is on the register
The node attached to this place is the North Plant, a crushed limestone quarry run by Frazier Quarry Inc with seventeen people on the federal register, its coordinate 4.88 miles from the Harrisonburg centroid.
It is on the state aggregate approved list under quarry code 05_8062_Q, coarse aggregate approved in 2024 and fine in 2023, over limestone. Operator and town both agree with the register, which is the whole basis of the join — the list carries no coordinates, so a town-only match would attach somebody else’s approval.
The same operator works a second pit in this county, the Elkton Plant, and no register entry could be located for that one at all. Same company, same county, one on the list and one not. That is not evidence about either operation; it is evidence that a name-only register with no coordinates is an unreliable way to ask whether a particular hole in the ground is approved.
The roads out
Four restricted crossings, one of them close in and none of them severe
Those seventeen people load onto one of the busier circles in this work and one of the quieter ones for restrictions. Within ten miles the inventory records 164 structures; four are coded posted for load and four are rated below legal loads, 2.4%, with the two fields agreeing exactly — which across Virginia they do on only 68% of posted structures.
The nearest of the four is 1.31 miles out, close enough to sit on a working route. The lowest rating among them is 8.2 metric tonnes, which is under the 11.0 an empty tandem already weighs, so that one takes no lorry at all under any load.
The figure that governs a working truck is 17.2 metric tonnes, about 19.0 US tons, admitting roughly 6.2 tonnes of stone over the empty tare. Two and a half restricted crossings in a hundred, none of them severe once the car-only one is set aside, is an easy network by the standards of this state.
Virginia paperwork
Three salvage tests in one chapter, and a rebuilt test that runs inside out
Beyond the roads, the title regime follows the truck rather than the route, 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. Tandems and tri-axles off the stone work that Rockingham County runs on, including whatever loads 4.88 miles out at the Frazier Quarry pit. Day cabs and road tractors on the valley runs. 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.
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 Harrisonburg
- 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.
- I ran between the two Frazier pits for years.Then the truck has spent its life on short valley legs rather than long ones, and it will show the hours rather than the odometer. For what it is worth the two Frazier Quarry pits sit differently in the paperwork — this one, 4.88 miles out, is on the aggregate register under code 05_8062_Q, and no entry could be located for the other — which changes nothing about the truck.
- Do you come out to Rockingham County?We do. We can also buy it remotely and arrange the tow if that suits you better — the drive is our problem either way.
- 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 hauling contract that finished. A tandem standing through a Rockingham County winter 4.88 miles from the Frazier Quarry gate, 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. Bridge figures come from the FHWA National Bridge Inventory 2025 files and are read on item 70 rather than item 41, because the two agree on only 68% of this state’s posted structures. A commercial floor is a MINIMUM inside a ten-mile circle: at 64.1% of the nodes measured in this work a tighter crossing lies between ten miles and twenty, so read it as an upper bound. The raw minimum operating rating in this circle, 8.2 tonnes, sits below the 11.0-tonne weight of an empty tandem and governs no commercial vehicle; the governing figure is the 17.2-tonne commercial floor and both are stated. That NO register entry could be located for this operator’s other pit in this county is an absence in a name-only register and is NOT a finding about either site. 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.
