Aggregate haulers between Graham-Virginia and the Manassas pit
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Graham-Virginia crushed-stone quarry 2.6 miles east of Lake Ridge. A dump truck or tri-axle that has hauled aggregate out of that pit is the kind of truck we collect, and it can stay where it sits. Give us the street address, the gate hours if it is on a yard, and the name of whoever holds the keys.
West of town, 13 miles out, is a second crushed-stone quarry at Manassas, also on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck splits its time between the two pits, tell us which one it is nearer to this week. Send daylight photos of the body, the hoist and the cab with your first message.
Tankers that load at Newington and the river terminals
Two petroleum product terminals named Newington sit on the Energy Information Administration’s list, one 7 miles east of Lake Ridge and the other 7.4 miles to the north-east. If you own a fuel tanker or the tractor that pulls one between those racks, keep its tank inspection and hazmat paperwork in the cab folder. Those sheets tell us what the unit has carried without a long phone call.
About 12.5 miles north-east, Norfolk Southern TBT appears as a liquid bulk terminal in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. A tractor that has shuttled tank trailers to that rail terminal can be sold from the lot it was last dropped in. Send the VIN, the plate state and a photo of the odometer, and say whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind.
Bases nearby
Fort Belvoir and the Marine Corps Museum corridor
Fort Belvoir is 8 miles east of Lake Ridge on the military installation list kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and the Marine Corps Museum site sits 11.9 miles south. Box trucks and flatbeds that deliver to base gates are welcome here. If yours is parked somewhere that needs an escort or a pass to reach, tell us up front so the collection can be arranged with whoever controls access.
Owners who have taken a posting away from Prince William County do not have to come back for the sale. Leave the truck with a neighbour or in a storage lot, put the title in hand or note who holds it, and handle the paperwork with us by phone and email.
Builders and warehouses
Construction and warehouse work in Lake Ridge
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 6,678 jobs in Lake Ridge for 2023, with 168 of them in construction and 113 in transportation and warehousing. A contractor’s single dump truck or a stake-bed parked at home is exactly the sort of vehicle a sale here usually involves. Have the registration card and the title in the same envelope before you call.
Prince William County holds 124 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and plenty of them keep a truck or two parked around Lake Ridge. If your business is one of them and you are selling more than one truck, list each VIN in a single message. We can look at the group together and plan one visit rather than several.
FMCSA stops and the 2016 median on Lake Ridge rigs
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 116 trucks tied to Lake Ridge, with a median model year of 2016. The same FMCSA records show about 53 percent of those trucks were ten or more model years old at inspection. Whatever the year on your title, we look at the truck itself; tell us the model year and make when you first get in touch.
Keep the inspection reports from those roadside stops. If your truck has a recent one, photograph it alongside the service records and send them with your first message, so the paperwork and the photos describe the same vehicle.
Soybeans, cattle and horses in Prince William County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 316 farms in Prince William County, and its top products there are soybeans, cattle and equine. A grain truck, a cattle hauler or the tractor that pulls a horse trailer can be collected straight from the farm lane.
Farm trucks are often titled to a family member or an older farm name. Check whose name is on the title before you reach us, and if it is lost, ask Virginia’s title agency for a replacement first, since the sale moves on that document.
