Dimension stone and crushed stone north of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Granite Managers, a dimension-stone quarry 7.8 miles north of Orange, and Jet Mist tm Quarry, another dimension-stone operation 8.3 miles to the north-east. A dump truck or flatbed that has hauled cut block from those faces may still be parked on a quarry lot, so tell us whose ground it sits on and who can open the gate for the pickup.
MITCHELL QUARRY, a crushed-stone site 8.6 miles north-east, and the Greene Plant, a crushed-stone quarry 13.7 miles west, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Aggregate haulers shuttling between those two pits and the roads around Orange are trucks we buy; send the VIN, the title and photos of the dump body and cab to begin.
Due south of town, 13.1 miles out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists an industrial-mineral mine and mill under the Sansom name. If your truck served that mill, a note on what it carried and any service records you kept will answer most of our questions before we ask them.
Orange haulers
General freight, lumber and feed out of Orange
Seven list farm supplies, seven list logs, poles, beams and lumber, and six list grain, feed and hay, so a seller here could be holding anything from a box truck to a log truck to a grain hauler.
Of those 31 carriers, 19 are authorised for interstate work and 12 run intrastate, according to the same FMCSA census, which also shows 12 private fleets hauling their own goods. A private fleet selling a unit should have the title in the company’s name and a contact who can sign for it.
New registrations stay small: the federal carrier census records four new carriers here in 2025 and one in 2024. If you started hauling recently and are now selling the truck, keep the registration and any lien release together with the title so the paperwork matches when we arrive.
Single tractors to a 53-unit operation, per FMCSA
One carrier on FMCSA’s census in Orange runs 53 power units with 43 drivers, a second runs 22 power units with 28 drivers, and a third runs six units with six drivers. A fleet selling several tractors at once can list them by VIN in one message, and we will plan collection around where each one is parked.
Drivers working inside a 100-mile radius number 48 across these carriers, and 79 work beyond it, per the FMCSA carrier census. A truck from the longer-haul side may be away from Orange when you decide to sell; tell us the town where it will be and we collect it there.
Thirteen carriers here report their mileage to FMCSA, and their median is 59,361 miles per truck in a year. Have the odometer reading ready when you get in touch, along with the VIN.
What FMCSA inspections show about the local fleet
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 76 trucks from carriers based in Orange, and their median model year is 2023.
If your truck has been through a roadside inspection, keep the report with the title and registration. It gives a clear record of the truck’s history alongside the photos you send us.
Orange County farmland
Grain, cattle and feed trucks on 430 farms, per USDA
Corn leads soybeans and cattle on the 430 Orange County farms tallied by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and feed trucks on those farms often sit in a barn lot or field edge rather than a yard; give us directions to the gate and we will plan the pickup there.
Seven local carriers on the FMCSA census list logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo, and six list grain, feed and hay. A farm truck titled in a family member’s name needs that person’s signature on the title, so sort that out before collection day.
Builders and the Charlottesville side
Jobs, builders and the routes beyond Orange
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 record 3,816 jobs in Orange, 212 of them in manufacturing and 89 in construction. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 37 construction establishments, and a contractor letting go of a dump truck or a flatbed can send the title and photos to start.
Rivanna Station, a military installation 17.5 miles west, appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and the North American Rail Network places the EAST CHARLOTTESVILLE rail yard 24.9 miles south-west. A truck parked anywhere along that stretch between Orange and Charlottesville can be collected where it stands.
The questions we get asked in Orange
- My dump truck sits on a granite quarry lot north of Orange; does it need moving before pickup?Granite Managers sits 7.8 miles north and MITCHELL QUARRY 8.6 miles north-east, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from quarry lots like those. Name whoever holds the quarry gate key and we arrange collection through them.
- Is a log truck or grain hauler from around Orange something you take?Seven Orange carriers on FMCSA’s census haul logs, poles, beams and lumber and six haul grain, feed and hay, and trucks doing that work are ones we buy. A VIN, the title and photos of the bed or trailer get things moving.
- My Orange County farm truck is in my father’s name; whose signature goes on the title?Orange County has 430 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and many farm trucks are titled to a family member. The person named on the title signs it over, so have them ready before we arrive, along with the registration.
- My Orange-based tractor is on a long run out of state; does that hold up a sale?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 79 drivers from Orange carriers working beyond 100 miles, so trucks here are often away from home. Tell us where the truck will be parked and we collect it at that location.
