Gravel pits on the Rappahannock side of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Amrize Rappahannock Mine, a sand and gravel operation, 3.7 miles south-west of King George, with Woodford-VA Sand & Gravel 8.6 miles out in the same direction. Dump trucks and tri-axles that shuttle aggregate from those pits are trucks we buy, and if yours is parked at a pit gate rather than at home, we collect it from there.
Further west, the Spotsylvania Plant crushed-stone quarry is 20.4 miles away and the STAFFORD quarry 20.5 miles to the north-west, according to MSHA records. A truck that has split its hauling between the river pits and those quarries may carry stickers or weigh tickets from each site; photograph them with the VIN plate, and keep the title and current Virginia registration together in the cab.
Military ground east toward the Potomac
East of town, Naval Support Facility Dahlgren lies 9.2 miles away and Pumpkin Neck 7.9 miles away, both named as military installations by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that make deliveries onto installations like these often keep base passes and gate logs; those papers stay with you, but a note of where the truck worked helps us ask the right questions.
If the truck sits inside a fenced contractor yard near Dahlgren, give us the yard’s address and a contact who can let us in. The truck can stay parked in that yard until we collect it.
The Energy Information Administration places a petroleum product terminal at FREDERICKSBURG, 14.5 miles west, and another at DUMFRIES, 19.8 miles north. Tank trucks and fuel tractors loading at either rack belong in what we purchase; send photos of the tank, the cab and the tank’s inspection plate alongside the VIN.
Hazmat haulers usually keep tank test certificates and inspection sheets in a binder; bring that binder to the sale with the title. If the title carries a lien from a lender, have the lender’s name and payoff contact ready so the paperwork moves cleanly.
On the same FMCSA census, 51 local carriers haul general freight, 22 carry motor vehicles, 14 move logs and lumber, and 14 move machinery and large objects. Log trucks, car carriers, lowboys and box trucks all fit what we collect here.
Three fleets in town run 36, 36 and 25 power units, per the federal carrier census, while the 30 carriers reporting mileage show a median of 20,192 miles per truck. Owner-operators and small fleets alike can sell one truck or several; list each unit’s VIN, plate and odometer reading in one message.
Driver counts filed with FMCSA show 104 drivers working within 100 miles and 122 driving beyond that radius. A long-haul tractor may be parked out of state when you decide to sell, and it can stay there; tell us the city where it sits.
We buy trucks across that whole spread, from late-model tractors to older straight trucks.
Whatever the model year, the same papers carry the sale: the signed title, the registration card and any service records you have kept. A missing title is replaced through Virginia’s title agency, and starting that request early keeps the sale moving once we have seen the truck.
Construction crews and county fields
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 record 2,027 jobs in King George, 53 of them, or 2.6 percent, in construction. County Business Patterns lists 69 construction establishments, and their dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies are vehicles we purchase.
In the countryside, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 169 farms across King George County, with soybeans, corn and wheat as the top crops. Grain trucks and farm tractor-trailers that sit in a barn lot between harvests can be collected from the farm; send a photo of the lane so we know how to reach it.
