Tri-axles and crushed stone
The South Boston quarry, a short run from Mountain Road
A crushed-stone quarry near South Boston, about 6.6 miles south-east of Mountain Road, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine records. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul aggregate from a pit like that are trucks we buy, and we can collect one parked at a yard in South Boston or at your place on Mountain Road.
If your dump truck has spent its working life on quarry roads, send photos of the bed, the hoist, the frame and the cab, and tell us whether it is parked at a quarry gate or at home. Collection inside a working pit may need the operator’s say-so, so let us know who to call before we arrange the pickup.
Clarkson and Clover Yard, up the tracks from town
Heading north out of Mountain Road, the Clarkson rail yard lies 15.6 miles up the road on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Clover Yard appears on that same North American Rail Network map at 17.6 miles to the north-east. Day cabs and flatbeds that shuttle freight between rail sidings and Halifax County customers are part of what we purchase.
A tractor that works either yard can stay right where it is; give us the street address or the yard entrance and we will plan the trip from there. Have the VIN, the odometer reading and the registration card on hand when you first contact us, since those three items answer most of our questions about a day cab.
Livestock and grain hauling around Mountain Road
Around Mountain Road and across Halifax County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 759 farms, with hogs, soybeans and cattle listed as the leading products. Livestock trailers, grain trucks and the tractors that pull them out to market are all trucks we take on.
A farm truck that sits in a barn lot or at the edge of a soybean field between harvests can be collected right from the farm. Tell us how to reach it, whether the lane takes a full-size rollback, and send a few clear photos of the cab, the bed or the trailer hitch along with any service records you kept.
Builders’ dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies
Eleven construction firms operate around Mountain Road and South Boston on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally. Contractors like these run dump trucks, flatbeds, stake bodies and service trucks between job sites, and any of those can be sold to us from Mountain Road.
If a contractor truck is titled to a business, the person signing needs to be someone the business authorises, so have the company name exactly as it reads on the title. Photos of the body, the equipment mounted on it and the VIN plate help us understand what the truck is before we visit.
Hamilton Boulevard
A reissued title before the rollback arrives
Replacement titles here come from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles them through DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. The closest listed by the agency is the DMV Customer Service Center - South Boston, at 2039 Hamilton Boulevard, South Boston, 24592, roughly 5.9 miles from Mountain Road.
Should the title be missing, start the replacement at that South Boston office before the truck is collected, and keep your registration and a photo ID with you. Bring the lien release as well whenever a bank or finance company still appears on that South Boston title. The owner shown on the title is the person who signs the truck over to us.
