Aggregate dumps loading at Chantilly and the Leesburg Plant
Chantilly Crushed Stone Incorporated, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 4.8 miles west of McNair, is the closest heavy site to town. A tri-axle or tandem dump that has loaded aggregate there can be collected from the yard, a jobsite or your driveway, so tell us which one and whether a gate code or escort is needed.
Further out, the Leesburg Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as another crushed-stone quarry, 9.4 miles north-west. If your dump body or mixer split its time between the two pits, write down the body length, the axle setup and the VIN before you call; those three answers shape every question that follows.
Fuel racks south-east of town and the tank units that use them
According to the Energy Information Administration, a petroleum product terminal named Fairfax lies 10.3 miles south-east of McNair. Owners of fuel tankers or bobtails that loaded at that rack should keep the tank’s test and inspection certificates in the same folder as the title and send copies when they first get in touch.
Norfolk Southern TBT, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics classes as a liquid bulk terminal, is 18.5 miles away in the same south-easterly direction. A tractor that pulled tank trailers between there and the Fairfax rack can be sold with or without the trailer; tell us which, and send separate photos of the tractor’s cab, frame and fifth wheel and of the trailer’s plate.
Wholesale, construction and freight jobs around McNair
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 place 31,870 jobs in McNair, and wholesale trade accounts for 1,274 of them, about 4 percent. Straight trucks and box vans that make deliveries for distributors are on our list alongside tractors.
Construction held 549 of those jobs in 2023 by the same LEHD count, or 1.7 percent, while transportation and warehousing held 192 and manufacturing 108. If your truck was a contractor’s flatbed, a stake body or a small dump, have the registration and any service invoices in one folder; they answer most of what we would otherwise ask by phone.
Federal sites to the east
Pickups near the research agencies along the eastern corridor
Two military installations sit roughly 17 miles east of McNair on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings: the Air Force Office of Scientific Research at 17.1 miles and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency at 17.2. Trucks parked at or near secured federal property need someone with access present, so name that person when you contact us.
If your vehicle is kept inside a controlled lot in that direction, let us know the entry rules ahead of time, including whether a driver’s licence or vehicle plate must be submitted for clearance. Planning around the gate is simpler than rescheduling at it.
Farm work in the county
Horse farms, nurseries and beekeepers in Fairfax County
Horses come first among Fairfax County’s 77 farms, ahead of potted flowering plants and honey, in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A horse hauler, a stock truck or a nursery’s refrigerated box is just as welcome as a highway tractor, so describe what the body was built to carry.
Farm trucks are often titled to a person or a farm business rather than the driver who uses them. Check whose name is on the Virginia title before you reach out, and if it is a business, have the signer’s details ready so the paperwork matches the owner on record.
What McNair sellers should have ready
Gather the title, the current registration and the VIN plate photo first. Add pictures of the cab interior, both sides, the frame rails and the tires, taken in daylight wherever the truck now sits near the Chantilly quarry or anywhere else in town.
If the title is missing, say so at the start rather than at pickup; a duplicate is requested from the state’s title agency, and we can tell you which form to look for.

Photograph the living quarters or stalls and tell us whose name is on the Virginia title.
