Two quarries, one direction
Strasburg and Middletown, the two quarries nearest Maurertown
Strasburg Quarry, a crushed-stone pit on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 9.7 miles north-east of Maurertown. Dump trucks and tri-axles hauling stone from Strasburg usually sit at the owner’s yard or at a lot near the pit between loads; tell us which of those it is and whether there is room to turn a tractor and trailer around.
Middletown Quarry is the second crushed-stone operation in that direction, 11.1 miles north-east of town by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. If your truck has hauled from either quarry, photograph the body and tailgate along with the cab and the VIN plate, and note the odometer reading before you contact us.
The port to the east
Maurertown’s container link at the Virginia Inland Port
East of Maurertown, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Virginia Inland Port at Front Royal as a rail intermodal ramp 15.9 miles from town. Day cabs and sleepers that pull containers to and from that ramp are trucks we purchase, and a tractor working the port is often parked at a lot near Front Royal rather than at home; give us the lot’s address and a contact who can let us in.
The North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, records the Virginia Inland Port rail yard itself at 16 miles east of Maurertown. If your tractor has shuttled boxes between that yard and the valley, keep the registration card and the title in one folder, and send the VIN first; the rest of our questions follow from it.
Gore Mine, the sand and gravel operation up the road from Maurertown
Gore Mine, listed as a sand and gravel operation by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 22.9 miles due north of Maurertown, the farthest of the pits a truck from here is likely to serve. Trucks that haul sand and gravel over that distance are usually end-dumps or belly-dumps, and we buy those as readily as a highway tractor; tell us the body type and whether the trailer is part of the sale.
A truck working Gore may be kept at a yard anywhere between the pit and Maurertown. Tell us where it is parked, and send a photo of the frame rails, the tires and the dump bed so what we see matches your description.
Eight building firms with trucks to park near Maurertown
Maurertown and its surroundings support eight construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally. The flatbeds, dump trucks and equipment haulers those businesses run are trucks we buy, and a contractor’s lot or an open jobsite works as a place to meet.
If a truck is titled to a construction business rather than to you, bring whatever shows you can sign for the company, along with the title and registration. Tell us at the start which name is on the title, and the pickup goes through without a second trip.
Cattle trailers, grain trucks and milk tankers off Maurertown’s farm lanes
Farms around Maurertown number 859 across Shenandoah County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and milk the county’s leading products. A cattle trailer and tractor, a grain truck or a milk tanker off one of those farms is a truck we come out to the farm for.
Farm lanes vary; tell us whether the lane up to the barn is paved or gravel and how wide the gate is, since a lowboy needs more room than a pickup. Keep the title, the registration and any service invoices together, and photograph the tank or the stock body as well as the cab.
