Twin Fairfax racks
Two fuel terminals just past Braddock Road
Roughly four miles north-west of Ravensworth, the Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals side by side: the Fairfax Blending Terminal and a second site simply named Fairfax, each 4.1 miles out. If your tanker or fuel truck loaded at either rack, tell us which one and keep its loading records or rack cards together with the title.
Due east, 5.1 miles away, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal. A tractor that shuttled tank trailers between that rail-served site and the Fairfax racks can stay parked wherever you keep it between loads; send us the street address and a photo of the VIN plate on the door jamb.
South-side stone
Tri-axles that loaded at Graham-Virginia
The Mine Safety and Health Administration records Graham-Virginia, a crushed-stone quarry, 8.3 miles south of Ravensworth, and a second crushed-stone operation at Manassas about sixteen miles west. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump tractors that hauled aggregate out of either gate are among the trucks we buy here.
For a quarry truck, gather the registration, any inspection records and a few photos of the body, the hoist and the cab. If the truck sits in a contractor’s yard near Manassas rather than at your house, give us the yard contact so someone can let the driver in.
Construction holds a quarter of Ravensworth’s work
Of the 2,801 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place in Ravensworth for 2023, construction accounts for 26.6 percent, roughly one in four. Flatbeds, box trucks and stake bodies that carried lumber, drywall or equipment to job sites around Fairfax fit what we collect.
Wholesale trade makes up another 11.2 percent of local employment by that same LEHD count, while transportation and warehousing sits at 6 percent and manufacturing at 2.7 percent. A delivery straight truck or a reefer box from a distributor’s route is a truck we take as well; list the body length and the liftgate, if there is one, when you write to us.
Gated pickups
Near Fort Belvoir and the Mark Center
Two military installations sit within about seven miles, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: the Mark Center 6 miles east and Fort Belvoir 7.1 miles to the south-east. If your truck is parked somewhere that needs a pass or a gate escort, say so up front so the collection can be arranged with whoever controls access.
A truck stored on a residential street in Ravensworth needs only clear room to load it. Note any low branches, a tight cul-de-sac or HOA parking rules when you send the location, and we will plan the tow vehicle around them.
Braddock Road DMV is under four miles away
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles lists its DMV Customer Service Center - Fairfax Braddock Road at 9855 Braddock Road, Fairfax, 22032, 3.8 miles from Ravensworth. Its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices are where a replacement title is requested if the original has gone missing.
Bring the VIN, your registration card and photo ID to that Braddock Road counter. If a lender’s lien still shows on the title, ask the lender for a lien release before you go, so the replacement prints clean and the sale can close.
Equine and nursery haulers
Horse farms and nurseries around Fairfax
Fairfax County counted 77 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with equine operations, potted flowering plants and honey at the top of the list. A horse-hauling straight truck or a nursery delivery box that served those farms is one we can collect.
Whatever plates the truck carries, have the title in the seller’s name ready alongside photos of the cab and the body, and tell us whether the truck is kept at a barn or a greenhouse so we know what kind of ground the tow vehicle will be on.
