Dry bulk shows up for 4 Poquoson carriers in the same federal carrier census, and grain, feed and hay for 3. A dump body or a hopper trailer from that work is welcome; tell us what the body is and whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind.
Household goods moving is listed by 3 local carriers on the FMCSA rolls. A moving van with a lift gate or a pad-lined box is something we collect, so mention the body length and any ramp or lift in your first message.
One-truck and four-truck operations
The three biggest Poquoson fleets in the carrier census run 5, 4 and 4 power units, each with as many drivers as trucks. Owner-drivers should have the title in their own name and a photo ID for the signature.
Ten of the town’s carriers operate as private fleets according to FMCSA, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. A contractor’s dump truck or a business’s delivery van counts just the same; have the title in the company’s name and someone authorised to sign for it.
New registrations swing from year to year in the federal census: 5 carriers started in Poquoson in 2025, and none in 2024. If you started up recently and are now winding down, a truck that is still under a lender needs the payoff letter ready before we can close.
Where they go
Interstate lanes and local runs, split evenly
Eleven Poquoson carriers are cleared for interstate work and 11 run intrastate only, per FMCSA’s census. A truck that crosses state lines may carry apportioned plates; send the cab card along with the title so we can see how it is registered.
Driver counts recorded by FMCSA put 17 drivers within a 100-mile radius and 18 working beyond it. Whether your truck is parked in a Poquoson driveway or sitting at a yard on a longer route, tell us its address and we will plan the collection there.
Across 6 carriers reporting mileage, the median truck in Poquoson covers 17,726 miles a year, according to the FMCSA carrier census. An odometer photo and the most recent service records give us that history in one look.
Terminals from Yorktown to Newport News
Plains All American Pipeline runs a liquid bulk terminal 9.9 miles north-west of town, as listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and Yorktown Fuel Depot sits 11.7 miles in the same direction. If your tractor pulled tank trailers between sites like these, list which ones and keep any site inspection reports with the title.
To the south-west, the Port of Virginia’s Newport News Marine Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off facility, is 12.3 miles away on Bureau of Transportation Statistics figures, and the Papco liquid bulk terminal is 12.7 miles off. A truck left at one of those gates can be collected where it stands; give us the lot contact so access is arranged.
The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals at Newport News, 12.6 and 12.7 miles south-west. Fuel haulers that worked those racks should note the tank configuration and include photos of the trailer plate along with the tractor.
Rail yard and Joint Base Langley-Eustis
The Newport News rail yard lies 11.3 miles south-west in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle freight to and from the yard are part of what we buy; the VIN and the odometer reading start the conversation.
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is 11.8 miles west, per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is stored on or near a base, base access rules apply to us too, so tell us early whether a sponsor or escort is needed at the gate.
Dump trucks, flatbeds and stake bodies from building work are all trucks we collect; send photos of the body and the hydraulics along with the cab.
If your truck belongs to one of those firms and the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues the replacement, and having it in hand before collection keeps the sale simple.
