Tank work between the TBT and Newington
Norfolk Southern TBT, a liquid bulk terminal, sits about 1.5 miles north-west of Rose Hill according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor has pulled tankers in and out of that terminal, tell us the trailer type it was coupled to and whether the fifth wheel stays with the sale, so the pickup crew brings the right equipment.
Two petroleum product terminals, NEWINGTON and NEWINGTON 2, stand 5.3 and 5.7 miles south-west of town in the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list. A truck kept near those tank farms can stay where it is; send us the gate address and the name of whoever controls access, and we arrange the collection around their hours.
Stone and dirt
Dump trucks and the quarries off to the west
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists GRAHAM-VIRGINIA, a crushed-stone quarry, roughly 10.6 miles south-west, and a second crushed-stone operation at Manassas some 22.1 miles west. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump tractors that shuttled aggregate from those pits are trucks we buy; send a photo of the body, the hoist and the tarp system with the cab shots.
Construction accounted for 449 of the 2,114 jobs located in Rose Hill in 2023, or 21.2 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Around Rose Hill there are 79 builders, site contractors and other construction establishments, a tally kept in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your truck belonged to a contractor that has wound down, gather the title, the current Virginia registration and any service invoices in one folder before you call.
General freight, car haulers and refuse rigs registered in Rose Hill
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 91 active motor carriers based here; 53 of them hold interstate authority, 38 work intrastate only, and 38 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever group yours falls into, bring your USDOT number to the first conversation along with the truck’s registration.
Of those 91 carriers in FMCSA’s census, 42 list general freight, 12 dry bulk commodities, 12 motor vehicles and 11 garbage and refuse. A roll-off or rear-loader from refuse work, a car hauler or a dry van tractor all fit what we collect; tell us the body or trailer type up front.
New registrations stayed level, with 7 carriers added in 2024 and 7 more in 2025 according to the same FMCSA census. At the top end of that FMCSA roster, one Rose Hill outfit fields 20 power units with 11 drivers, another 10 with 10, and a third 9 tractors with 5 drivers. Owners of a single tractor and owners of a small group of units go through the same steps with us: VIN, photos, title, location.
Short hauls and the trucks that stay close
Drivers working for carriers here split 151 within a 100-mile radius and 56 beyond it, as reported in FMCSA’s carrier census. With most of them local, the truck you want to sell is likely parked at a yard or a home in Fairfax County between shifts, which is where we pick it up.
Across 36 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median truck logged 12,500 miles a year. Write the current odometer reading down along with the VIN before you contact us; those two numbers start every quote conversation.
Forty-five tractors, a 2016 median
Between September 2024 and August 2026, roadside officers checked 45 rigs belonging to Rose Hill outfits, and those FMCSA roadside inspection records put their median model year at 2016, with 46.7 percent dating back ten years or more. Read the model year off your registration card and send it with the make and engine model.
Keep the most recent roadside inspection report with the truck’s papers if you have one. It confirms the VIN, the plate and the carrier on file, which shortens the paperwork side of the sale.
Farm, military and warehouse ground nearby
Horse barns head the list of 77 Fairfax County farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, followed by growers of potted flowering plants and honey producers. A straight truck or flatbed that hauled hay, horse trailers or nursery stock off one of those properties is welcome, and we collect it from the farm itself.
Mark Center lies about 3 miles north and the Arlington Service Ctr about 5.8 miles north, both military installations in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. On the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts, transportation and warehousing held 57 local jobs in 2023 and wholesale trade 55. If your truck sits on a base or at a secured warehouse, ask the facility which pass or escort a visitor needs and pass that on to us.
The questions we get asked in Rose Hill
- My dump truck is parked out by the quarry past Newington. Should I haul it back from the GRAHAM-VIRGINIA pit before you look at it?GRAHAM-VIRGINIA is about 10.6 miles south-west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from a quarry lot like that one directly. Pass along the pit’s street address plus the phone number of whoever unlocks the quarry gate.
- My tractor’s Virginia title went missing. Which office replaces it for a truck kept near the Newington terminals?Virginia’s state title agency issues duplicate titles for trucks registered in Fairfax County, so the replacement request goes to them. Mention the missing title when you first contact us so we can plan the sale around the duplicate.
- I run a single tractor under my own USDOT number from Rose Hill. Will you still collect it?FMCSA’s carrier census shows that the biggest fleets in Rose Hill run 20, 10 and 9 power units, and a single tractor gets the same pickup and the same paperwork steps as a fleet.
