FMCSA’s carrier census shows 15 active motor carriers based in Pearisburg, and 11 of them hold interstate authority while 4 stay inside Virginia. If your truck crossed into other states under one of those authorities, have the USDOT number and the registration together when you reach us, since both tie the tractor to the operation it ran for.
Seven of the Pearisburg carriers on the federal census are private fleets, hauling their own company’s goods rather than freight for hire. A truck from a private fleet often carries a company name on the title; tell us whose name is on it at the start, and if the business has closed, say so, so the signing can be sorted before collection.
FMCSA’s census logs a pair of Pearisburg carriers first registered in 2025 and a single newcomer in 2024. If you started an outfit recently and are now selling its truck, a short ownership history is simple to show: the title, the registration card and the bill of sale from when you bought it.
Coil, cars, crates
General freight is listed by 8 of the town’s carriers in FMCSA’s census, machinery and large objects by 5, metal sheets, coils and rolls by 4, and motor vehicles by another 4. That mix points to tractors, flatbeds, step-decks and car haulers parked around town, and we purchase all of them.
For a flatbed or step-deck that hauled machinery or coil, photograph the deck, the tie-down points and the trailer plate along with the tractor. If the trailer is titled separately, keep both titles together so the pair can be collected in one trip.
A car hauler from one of the four Pearisburg carriers that move motor vehicles counts as two items on paper. Send the VIN for the truck and the trailer, and note whether the ramps and headrack come with it.
Where Giles County trucks spend their day
Drivers for Pearisburg carriers report 65 working within a hundred-mile radius and only 8 going further, on FMCSA’s census figures. So the truck you are selling is likely parked at a yard in town, at a job site nearby, or at your house, and that is where we come to collect it.
Half a dozen Pearisburg carriers filed annual mileage with FMCSA, and their median truck came in at 7,833 miles. Write down the odometer reading and send it with your photos, along with the engine hours if the truck has an hour meter.
The biggest fleet registered in town runs 8 power units with 2 drivers, according to the federal carrier census, and another runs 5 power units with 10 drivers. If you are selling several trucks from a small fleet like these, list each VIN, and we can plan one visit to collect them.
Stone and the Army plant
Quarries and Radford south of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Holston River Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 17.1 miles south of Pearisburg, and Acco Stone Co, another crushed-stone site, 20.8 miles to the south-east. Dump trucks and tri-axles that haul out of pits like these are trucks we purchase; tell us the body type and bed length when you send photos.
East of town, Highland Park Quarry is a dimension-stone operation 20.2 miles away on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. A truck that hauled cut stone may have a flatbed or a boom; photograph the equipment and say whether it stays on the truck.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Radford Army Ammunition Plant 14.1 miles to the south-east and the New River Valley Memorial Army Reserve Center 17.1 miles south. If your truck is stored near either, tell us the address and any gate access rules so pickup can be arranged.
Local jobs, builders and Christmas tree farms
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 140 Pearisburg-area jobs in manufacturing, a 5.9 percent share, and 66 in construction, a 2.8 percent share, out of 2,371 in all. Box trucks, stake beds and dump trucks serve that work, and any of them can be sold to us with the title in hand.
A contractor selling a work truck should bring the title and registration, and if the business name is on the title, the person signing should be someone authorised to sign for it.
Giles County has 356 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, corn and cut Christmas trees lead the list there. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and flatbeds that carry trees off the farms in season are trucks we buy, and we collect them at the farm.
A lost title in Pearisburg is replaced by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, and the closest office is DMV Select - Pearisburg at 130 North Main Street, Pearisburg, 24134, half a mile from the centre of town. That office is one of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles’ DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices, which handle replacement titles.
Request the replacement before you set a pickup date if the title is missing, and check that the name on it matches yours. If a lender is still listed, have the lien release ready as well, along with your registration and a photo ID.
