Thorndale and Flatrock, the quarries off New Market’s western edge
Head 4.8 miles west from New Market and you reach Thorndale Quarry, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists as a crushed-stone pit. Dump trucks and tri-axles that shuttle aggregate from a pit like that often finish the day parked at the quarry or at a yard near it, and that is a fine place for us to collect one. Give us the gate location and the name of whoever can let our driver in.
Flatrock Quarry is about 5.7 miles to the north-west, the second stone site near here on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck hauled from Flatrock or Thorndale, take photos of the body, the cab and the VIN plate in daylight before you contact us, and note which quarry it worked so we know where to send a driver.
Tractors that work the Shenandoah yard below New Market
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the yard named Shenandoah sits 11.4 miles south of New Market. Tractors that run between a rail yard and valley customers tend to stay parked near one end of that route, so tell us whether yours is at the yard end or at home in town.
A truck stored near the Shenandoah yard does not have to be driven back up to New Market for us to see it. Send the street address or a pin, the VIN and the registration, and we plan the pickup at the spot where it already sits.
New Market’s eighteen carriers and the cargo they list
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 18 active carriers in New Market, with 12 cleared for interstate work, 6 that keep to Virginia, and 8 that run private fleets hauling their own goods. A seller here is usually an owner-operator or a small business with a handful of trucks, and the paperwork for one truck is the same whichever of those you are: the title, the registration and the VIN.
Fleets in town are small on the federal carrier census: the biggest lists 9 power units and 15 drivers, the next 3 power units, and the third 2. If you are selling one tractor out of a small group, tell us which unit it is and keep its registration separate from the others so the right papers travel with it.
Among the 18 carriers on FMCSA’s census, general freight is the most common cargo with 9 carriers, while grain, feed and hay and machinery and large objects each count 4, and refrigerated food counts 3. Say which of those your truck hauled, and whether the trailer or reefer unit is part of the sale or stays with you.
New Market drivers inside and past the short-haul radius
Drivers registered with New Market carriers split on the FMCSA census: 37 work past the hundred-air-mile radius and 24 stay inside it. A tractor that ranges that far may be out on the interstate when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked between loads and we arrange collection there.
Seven local carriers report mileage to the federal carrier census, and the median among them is 9,410 miles per truck. Have the odometer reading ready alongside the VIN when you reach out; that figure and the title are the first two things we ask for.
Cattle, corn and milk trucks from the valley floor
Around New Market, Shenandoah County counts 859 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and milk as its leading products. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and milk tankers from those farms are trucks we buy, and many of them sit in a barn lot or field rather than a paved yard.
If your truck is kept on a farm outside New Market, describe the lane and the ground it sits on, and tell us whether a rollback can reach it in wet weather. Photos of the truck where it is parked help us send the right equipment the first time.
Builders and plant jobs in and around town
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 848 jobs in New Market for 2023, and manufacturing accounts for 154 of them, an 18.2 percent share. Box trucks, flatbeds and straight trucks that serve a plant often belong to the business itself, so have the company title and someone with authority to sign ready before a sale.
Fourteen construction outfits operate around New Market, by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally. A contractor’s dump truck or flatbed can be collected from a job site or a shop lot; tell us which, and whether equipment such as a toolbox or headache rack goes with the truck.
Replacing a lost title from New Market at the Luray DMV Select
A duplicate title for a New Market truck comes from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, at any of its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. For New Market the listed office is DMV Select - Page County DMV Select at 103 S. Court Street, Luray, 22835, about 11.2 miles away by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles’ own location list.
If the title for your truck is missing, start the replacement at that Luray office or another Virginia DMV location before we collect, and tell us when you first contact us so we can plan around it. A lien that shows on the title needs a release from the lender as well.
