Two stone quarries and a metal mine around Lawrenceville
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Skippers, a crushed-stone quarry 18.2 miles south-east of Lawrenceville, and Mecklenburg Rock, another crushed-stone operation 20 miles to the west. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls aggregate out of either pit can be collected right where it is parked, at the quarry yard or beside your house. Tell us which pit it works so we can plan the trip in.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also records the Concord Mine & Concentrator, a metal mine 18.3 miles north-east of town. Trucks that serve a concentrator often carry site permits or safety stickers; keep any of that paperwork with the cab, along with the registration card, and send a few photos of the bed, the tires and the VIN plate before we come.
Pulpwood, sawlogs and general freight out of Brunswick
Of the 34 active motor carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Lawrenceville, 24 haul general freight and 14 move logs, poles, beams or lumber. A log truck with a knuckleboom loader or a tractor that pulls a pole trailer is exactly the kind of equipment we pick up here, often straight from a landing in the pines.
Five of those carriers list grain, feed or hay, and five more list intermodal containers, according to the same federal register. If yours is a day cab that shuttles containers or a straight truck with a grain body, give us the VIN, the body type and where it sits today, and we can arrange collection at that spot.
Small outfits, local routes and owner-operators
Lawrenceville’s registered carriers split between 21 that run interstate and 13 that stay inside Virginia, with 12 operating as private fleets that haul their own goods, per FMCSA’s census. A farm or a sawmill that owns one truck for its own loads sells the same way a for-hire carrier does: title in hand, keys, and the address where the truck is.
The biggest fleet based in town runs 16 power units with 17 drivers, and the next two run nine and five, as the carrier census records them. Thirteen Lawrenceville carriers reported annual mileage to FMCSA, and their median tractor logs 42,000 miles over a year of hauling. Seven new carriers registered here in 2024 and one more in 2025, by the same federal count, so if you are winding down a young business and selling its only tractor, that is a sale we handle often.
Leaf and grain
Tobacco, soybeans and wheat on the farms around town
Around Lawrenceville, the 2022 Census of Agriculture from USDA counts 206 farms across Brunswick County, with tobacco, soybeans and wheat as the leading crops. Grain trucks, flatbeds for hauling cured leaf and the tractors that move harvests to the elevators are all trucks we buy from growers here.
A farm truck is often titled to the farm itself or to a family member who has since passed the operation on. Before we visit, check whose name is on the title and whether a lien is still shown, and have the farm plates and registration in the glovebox.
Builders and the post
Jobs, builders and Fort Barfoot to the north
LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 1,037 jobs in Lawrenceville in 2023, and County Business Patterns lists seven construction establishments. Builders’ dump trucks, stake beds and equipment haulers from those firms are welcome; we collect them from a job site or a shop lot.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places NG Fort Barfoot MTC & FMS 15, a military installation, 19.6 miles north of town. Contractors who truck materials to the post can sell to us from wherever the truck ends its shift, and we only need to know if a gate pass is required to reach it.
Athletic Field Road
A replacement title less than a mile from downtown
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles runs DMV Select - Brunswick at 100 Athletic Field Road, Lawrenceville, 23868, which the agency lists 0.7 miles from the town centre. If the title for your truck is missing, that office handles the replacement, and it is close enough to visit before we schedule the pickup.
DMV Select offices and DMV Customer Service Centers both process title work for the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. Bring your ID and the registration, and if a lender once held the title, ask for the lien release while you are at the counter.
