Russell County stone and Moss coal
Aggregate and coal sites west and north-west of Lebanon
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Russell County Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 4.6 miles west of Lebanon, and the Dickensonville Plant, another stone quarry, 11.1 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls aggregate from either site can stay parked at the yard where it works; give us the gate contact and the hours someone is on site, and we arrange the collection there.
Coal is the other load in these hills: RCR-1 Moss #3 is 7 miles north-west of town and the 88 Strip mine is 12.9 miles north-west, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Mine roads and permitted sites have their own access rules, so tell us who signs visitors in before we send anyone up to a truck sitting near a portal or a strip bench.
For a truck that has hauled to these sites, gather the title, the current registration and any service records in one folder before you reach out to us. Clear photos of the bed, the frame rails and the cab, taken where the truck now stands, let us see the equipment without a trip to Russell County first.
Prep plants and rail
From the preparation plant to the rail yard
West of Lebanon, the Savage Blending Terminal is a coal preparation plant 14.2 miles away, and to the north-east the Coal Creek Prep Plant stands 19.2 miles off, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Tractors and end-dumps that shuttle between mines and these plants are often parked near the plant gate between jobs, and we can collect one from that spot.
Rail is close by too: the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the Dante yard 12.7 miles west and the Bristol yard 20.9 miles south. If your tractor pulled loads to Dante or down to Bristol and is still parked by either yard, send us the street address or a pin, plus the name of whoever holds the keys.
Name the plant or yard your truck served when you first write to us. Knowing whether it worked Savage, Coal Creek, Dante or Bristol lets us ask the right questions about axle setup and body type in the first reply.
Log, coil and machinery haulers based in Lebanon
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 39 active motor carriers in Lebanon; 27 of them run interstate, 12 stay inside Virginia, and 13 are private fleets moving their own goods. Whether you are a single-truck owner-operator or a company with a spare tractor, the paperwork we need is the same: the title in the owner’s name and the registration card.
General freight is the cargo listed by 23 of those carriers, logs, poles, beams and lumber by 13, machinery and large objects by 9, and metal sheets, coils and rolls by 8, as recorded in the federal carrier census. A log truck, a lowboy, a flatbed set up for coils or a dry van tractor all fit what we collect from sellers here; tell us the body or trailer type so we know what to bring.
One Lebanon fleet reports 46 power units and 85 drivers to FMCSA, another 34 power units and 28 drivers, and a third 8 of each. A fleet manager clearing several units can list them together, VIN by VIN, and we will schedule the collections as one job.
Lebanon odometers and inspections
Nineteen Lebanon carriers report their annual mileage to FMCSA, and the median truck among them covers 35,610 miles a year on the roads out of Russell County. Have the odometer reading and the VIN to hand when you contact us, since every other detail we ask about starts from those two.
Drivers registered with Lebanon carriers split 135 working within 100 miles of base and 54 going further, per FMCSA’s carrier census. A short-haul truck is likely parked at a quarry, plant or home lot nearby, while a long-haul tractor may be out of state; either way, tell us the address where it sits today.
Roadside stops of 44 Lebanon-based trucks between September 2024 and August 2026, logged in FMCSA roadside inspection records, put the median model year at 2015.5, with 54.55 percent of those Russell County trucks ten or more years old. Whatever its model year, send the year, make and model along with the photos.
Manufacturing jobs in Lebanon, farms across Russell County
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 3,462 jobs in Lebanon, with 525 in manufacturing, 15.2 percent of the total, and 84 in construction, 2.4 percent. Box trucks, flatbeds and tractors that serve plants and building sites in town are all part of what we collect, and a business selling one should have the title holder ready to sign.
Seventeen construction establishments appear for the Lebanon area in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, each a possible home for a dump truck or equipment hauler. A contractor’s dump truck, crane truck or equipment hauler can be collected from the shop yard or the job site, provided someone there can show us the truck and hand over the keys.
Russell County has 808 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, corn and equine operations. A livestock hauler, grain truck or horse-trailer tractor parked in a barn lot off a county road is collected where it stands; send directions for the farm lane along with the photos.
The questions we get asked in Lebanon
- Can my dump truck stay where it sits, at Russell County Quarry outside Lebanon?Russell County Quarry is 4.6 miles west of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, and we collect from there or from any quarry yard nearby. Pass along the quarry foreman’s name and when the Russell County gate is staffed.
- Would you collect a tractor that has hauled coal into the Savage Blending Terminal near Lebanon?Savage Blending Terminal, 14.2 miles west per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, is served by tractors and end-dumps like yours, and those are trucks we collect. Share its VIN, odometer figure and a few photos taken by the Savage plant.
- Is a Russell County log truck with a pole trailer something you collect from Lebanon?Thirteen Lebanon carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo in FMCSA’s carrier census, and log trucks are among the trucks we collect here. Tell us the trailer setup and where the truck is parked.
