Two Fairfax fuel terminals just west of Mantua
The Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals, FAIRFAX and the FAIRFAX BLENDING TERMINAL, 0.9 miles west of Mantua. If your tanker or straight truck loaded at those racks, tell us which one and what product it carried, and keep any terminal access or loading paperwork with the title.
A truck that spends its shifts between those two terminals and Fairfax County stations is usually parked close by when the owner decides to sell. Give us the yard address in or near Mantua and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and the collection gets planned around that lot.
Tank equipment from a fuel route raises its own questions, so send photos of the tank, its valves and the plate on the barrel along with the cab and the VIN.
Stone haul
Aggregate trucks between two stone pits south and west
South of town, 11.4 miles out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the GRAHAM-VIRGINIA crushed-stone quarry; Chantilly Crushed Stone Incorporated sits 13.6 miles west on the same agency’s register. Dump trucks and tri-axles that run aggregate from either pit can be collected at the quarry lot, a contractor’s yard or your driveway.
If the truck is still parked at Chantilly or Graham-Virginia, ask the site office whether an outside driver may enter, and pass that contact to us before pickup day. A copy of the registration and the title kept in the cab saves a second trip.
Contractors around Mantua
Mantua’s building trade shows up in County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau as 111 construction establishments, from excavators to roofing outfits. Those businesses run dump bodies, flatbeds, box trucks and service units, and any of them can be sold to us from the jobsite where it last worked.
For a contractor’s truck, list the body type, the VIN and the odometer reading in your first message. Service records from your shop or a local garage help us understand the truck, and a photo of each side plus the frame rails lets us see what you describe.
Mantua’s trucks by model year at the roadside
Inspectors stopped 81 trucks connected to Mantua from September 2024 through August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give their median model year as 2018. Those same FMCSA records show 35.8 percent of the 81 were ten or more years old when inspected.
Whichever side of that 2018 midpoint your truck falls on, we buy it. Send the year, make and model with the VIN, and keep the most recent inspection report handy, since it tells us when and where the truck was last checked.
Federal campuses and a rail-served bulk terminal eastward
Heading east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Mark Center at 7.7 miles and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency at 8.2 miles, both military installations. The Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, is 7.8 miles east of Mantua in the same Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings.
Box trucks and tankers that deliver to secured federal campuses or the Norfolk Southern TBT may be parked at a contractor depot rather than at home. Tell us where it sits and who can release it, and we arrange the pickup with that person directly.
Horse farms, nurseries and local jobs
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 77 farms in Fairfax County, with equine operations, potted flowering plants and honey at the top. Trucks that pull horse trailers, nursery delivery trucks and small farm haulers from those operations are trucks we collect from the barn or greenhouse lot.
Mantua held 1,589 jobs in 2023, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, spread across shops, offices and service firms. If a truck tied to one of those workplaces has lost its title, Virginia’s title agency issues the replacement, and we can talk you through starting that request before collection.
