McLean’s motor carriers, interstate and local
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 82 active motor carriers with a McLean address, 48 of them cleared for interstate work and 34 running intrastate only. Whichever group your operation falls in, keep your USDOT number handy when you contact us, along with the title and the current Virginia registration card for the truck you want to sell.
Of those McLean carriers, 24 are private fleets hauling their own goods, per the same FMCSA register. A private fleet often holds its trucks under a company name, so if the title is in a business name, have someone with signing authority for that business ready to sign it over.
Nine new carriers registered in McLean during 2025 and two during 2024, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started out recently and the title still shows a lienholder, tell us who holds the loan at the start, and we will work out the payoff paperwork with you before collection.
General freight, household moves and coil loads
General freight is listed by 46 McLean carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, the most common cargo entry here, while household goods, lumber and logs, and metal sheets and coils each show up for 13. A box truck from a moving outfit and a flatbed tractor that has strapped down coils are both trucks we take; tell us the body type and the trailer it pulled.
If your rig carried lumber, poles or beams, photograph the headache rack, the deck and the stake pockets along with the cab and the VIN plate. For a moving van, a shot of the box interior and the liftgate tells us what the truck is set up for, and those photos let us ask the right questions about yours.
The largest fleet registered in McLean runs 80 power units with 118 drivers, the FMCSA register shows, and the next two run 13 and 8 trucks. If you are selling several units from one fleet at once, send a list with each VIN and where each truck is parked so we can plan one visit instead of many.
Blending racks, a rail-served tank site and two stone pits
The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals, FAIRFAX and the FAIRFAX BLENDING TERMINAL, about 7.9 miles south-west of McLean. A tank truck or tractor that has loaded at those racks can stay where it is parked; give us the yard address and a contact who can let us in.
Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal roughly 10.3 miles south-east, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. If your tractor pulled tankers in and out of that site, have its hazmat-related inspection papers together with the title, since those records travel with the truck.
Chantilly Crushed Stone Incorporated, 16.3 miles west, and GRAHAM-VIRGINIA, 18.1 miles south, are both crushed-stone quarries on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Dump trucks working those pits are often parked at the quarry or a contractor yard nearby, and we can collect there instead of at your home.
Construction and short-haul driving
Construction accounts for 619 of McLean’s 16,570 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, with 311 in wholesale trade and 77 in manufacturing. If your truck has been on site work, note the body it carries, whether dump, flatbed or utility, so we know what is coming.
McLean is home to 99 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and many of those contractors keep trucks at a shop or a job site; tell us which, and whether a gate code or keyholder is needed on the day.
Among drivers working for McLean carriers, 793 stay within 100 miles and 82 go beyond, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Give us the address where your truck is parked between jobs, whether that is your driveway, a shop lot or a job site.
Build years and yearly mileage on McLean trucks
FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 through August 2026 cover 27 trucks from McLean carriers, with a median model year of 2019 and a third of them ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, the VIN tells us the build, so send it first.
The 24 McLean carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census put the median at 27,788 miles per truck each year. Send a photo of the odometer with your other pictures, and keep any service records from the shop that maintains the truck in a folder with the title.
Titles and records in Fairfax County
A Virginia title in your name, or in your company’s name with an authorised signer, is what we need to complete the sale. If the title has gone missing, tell us when you first get in touch, and apply for a replacement before we arrange collection.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 77 farms in Fairfax County, led by equine operations, potted flowering plants and honey. A farm truck registered to one of those operations sells the same way as any other: title, registration and the keys, at the farm where it is kept.
The questions we get asked in McLean
- Chantilly Crushed Stone is where my dump truck sits. Can you collect it at the quarry instead of in McLean?It can stay put: the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Chantilly Crushed Stone Incorporated about 16.3 miles west of McLean, and we collect right at the quarry or a contractor yard beside it. Name the pit, the yard and whoever holds the gate key.
- Our McLean fleet is selling more than one truck. How should we start?Send a list of each VIN and parking address. FMCSA’s carrier census shows McLean fleets ranging up to 80 power units, and one list lets us plan a single visit for several trucks.
- My tanker loaded at the FAIRFAX blending racks, so which photos and papers help most?The Energy Information Administration places the FAIRFAX and FAIRFAX BLENDING TERMINAL sites 7.9 miles south-west of McLean. Send photos of the tank or trailer connection, the VIN plate and the cab, plus the title and registration.
