Tankers up the road
Tank terminals along the river at Hopewell
Two liquid bulk terminals listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lie due north of town: Hopewell at 5.9 miles and Regional Enterprises, Inc. at 6.3 miles. A tractor that has shuttled tankers in and out of either gate can stay parked where it last unloaded; send us the yard address and the name of whoever controls access.
The Energy Information Administration places the HOPEWELL petroleum product terminal 6.3 miles north as well, so a tanker tractor from that run is often parked within a short drive of Prince George. Have the cab card, the title and any terminal entry passes together before we arrange the collection, and photograph the tractor with its fifth wheel showing.
Two railheads close by
POE yard to the west, the CSXT yard to the north
On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the POE yard is 4.5 miles west of town and the HOPEWELL (CSXT) yard is 4.8 miles north. Day cabs that dray loads to and from those two yards are trucks we buy, whether they carry a single tractor or a whole drayage roster.
If your rig is sitting near either railhead rather than at home in Prince George, leave it there. Give us the street or lot description, the VIN and a phone number for the person holding keys, and the pickup gets planned around that spot.
Gravel haulers between Puddledock and the Charles City pit
Puddledock Sand & Gravel, 5.8 miles west, and Charles City-VA Sand & Gravel, 9 miles north-east, both appear in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine listings. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump tractors that feed off those pits are welcome here; tell us which pit the truck worked so we know the ground it will be standing on at collection.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 24 construction establishments in this area, and the LEHD job counts for 2023 put construction at 95 jobs, or 7 percent of local employment. A contractor closing out a dump truck or a lowboy tractor can photograph the body, the cab interior and the plates, then send them with the registration.
Freight, lumber, coil and car-haul outfits in Prince George
Forty-nine carriers are active in Prince George according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and 38 of them list general freight. Eight report logs, poles, beams and lumber, seven report metal sheets, coils and rolls, and seven report motor vehicles, so a car-hauler, a flatbed with coil racks or a log tractor from town all fit what we collect.
That same federal census splits the roster into 21 interstate carriers and 28 that stay inside Virginia, with 15 running private fleets for their own goods. FMCSA added six new Prince George carriers during 2025, after five joined in 2024. FMCSA registrations also include one fleet of 49 power units and 43 drivers, and a one-truck outfit sells to us the same way it does: VIN, title, photos, location.
Road and model year
Long hauls and late-model tractors
Driver records filed with FMCSA show 136 drivers working past a hundred-mile radius and 37 staying inside it. Among the nine carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median was 28,781 miles per truck, so have the current odometer figure ready when you reach out.
Roadside inspections logged by FMCSA between January 2025 and August 2026 covered 61 trucks from here; their median model year was 2023, and 14.8 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the year on your title, the steps are the same: a clear photo set, the registration and any service records you keep.
Four miles to Crossings Boulevard for a new Virginia title
A lost title is replaced through the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles it at its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. For sellers here that means DMV Customer Service Center - Hopewell, listed by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles at 4401 Crossings Boulevard, Prince George, 23875, some 4 miles from the middle of town.
Start that replacement before you list the truck with us, since the title is the document every collection depends on. Bring the registration and your identification to Crossings Boulevard, and if a lender still holds a lien, have its release letter in hand as well.
Fields and the fort
Farm trucks and the base next door
Around the town, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 123 farms in Prince George County, with corn ahead of soybeans and cattle. Grain trucks and livestock haulers from those operations are part of what we pick up, parked at the barn or the field edge where they last worked.
Fort Gregg-Adams, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 4.2 miles north-west, shares the local map with a transportation and warehousing sector that the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts at 126 jobs, 9.2 percent of the 1,365 in 2023. If your truck sits near the base or a warehouse lot, a gate contact and an address are all we need to schedule the visit.
