Tri-axle dumps and end-dump tractors that load there usually sit in a yard between jobs, so give us the street address of that yard and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Red Hill Quarry, also crushed stone, is 9.8 miles to the south-west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. If your dump truck split its loads between the two pits, send a photo of the body, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab and the VIN plate, and we can set up collection at whichever site it is parked at.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Sansom mine and mill, an industrial-mineral operation, 16.2 miles east, and the James River Slate Company’s dimension-stone quarry 21.9 miles south. A flatbed or stake truck that hauled slate or mill product can stay at the site, and we collect it there without you driving it back toward Charlottesville.
Day cabs that shuttle freight off that yard can be sold with the title and current registration kept together in one folder, ready when we talk.
The Strathmore yard is 21.9 miles south of town on that same North American Rail Network map. If your tractor worked that run and is now parked down there, tell us the nearest crossroad and whether a tow truck can turn around beside it, and the pickup gets planned from that.
Of the 6,268 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place in Pantops for 2023, 145 are in construction, 86 in wholesale trade and 82 in transportation and warehousing. Those three groups are where most box trucks, stake beds and small dumps in the area come from, so if yours did contractor or delivery work, say which kind when you first contact us.
A delivery van or reefer box truck that served the wholesale side should come with its service records if you kept them. Oil-change receipts, inspection stickers and a list of parts swapped all help us read the truck’s history alongside the photos you send.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 866 farms in Albemarle County, and its top three listed products there are cattle, potted flowering plants and horses. That mix puts grain-body trucks, livestock haulers and enclosed nursery trucks on farm lanes all around Pantops.
A farm truck often sits in a barn or at a field gate instead of a paved lot. Send a photo of the lane leading to it, and if the truck was registered on farm plates, have that registration card on hand with the title.
A Virginia title in your name is the main document we need, and if it has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a replacement. Start that request before you contact us if you can, and tell us it is under way so we can plan around it.
If a bank or equipment lender is still shown on the title, have the lien release letter ready too. With the title, registration, the VIN and a few clear photos in hand, a Pantops truck is collected where it stands.
