Front Royal boxes
West of Shenandoah Farms by 6.9 miles is the Virginia Inland Port rail yard, a distance taken from the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. A day cab or sleeper that has shuttled boxes between that yard and Warren County customers is a tractor we buy, and it can stay parked at your place while we arrange the collection.
Front Royal’s intermodal ramp at the Virginia Inland Port is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics at 7 miles west of the community. If your tractor pulled chassis off that ramp, write down the VIN and the odometer reading before you call, and have the title in the name that appears on the registration.
Dump trucks from the quarries outside Front Royal
Hanson Aggregates Virginia, a crushed-stone quarry, sits 7.8 miles west according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and Mellott Front Royal is a further crushed-stone operation that the same agency records 8.2 miles out in that direction. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump tractors that loaded at either pit are among the trucks we collect from driveways and lots around Shenandoah Farms.
When a dump truck has hauled stone from those two pits, gather the registration, any inspection sheets and the service log kept in the cab. Add daylight photographs of the bed, the hoist, the frame and the tires, and send them with the VIN.
Contractors and their work trucks
Contractors like these run flatbeds, box trucks, utility bodies and small dumps, and any of them can be sold from the job yard or the shop where it is parked.
A contractor retiring one truck from a small group can sell it alone; there is no need to bundle it with the rest. Note which unit it is, whose name is on the title, and whether a lender is still listed, and we will work through the paperwork with you from there.
Cattle, wheat, corn
Barn-lot trucks on Warren County farms
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 316 farms in Warren County, with cattle, wheat and corn named as its leading products. Cattle haulers, grain trucks with hoists and farm tractors pulling hopper or livestock trailers all fit what we purchase here.
A farm truck often lives in a barn lot or at the edge of a field rather than on pavement. Tell us where it stands, whether the gate is wide enough for a carrier, and whether the ground is firm, so the pickup is planned around the farm rather than around a street address.
Titles, liens and registration in Virginia
Every sale needs a title, and in Virginia a lost one is replaced through the state’s title agency. Ask for the duplicate before the truck is collected if you can; the name printed on it has to match the seller.
If a bank or equipment lender financed the truck, have the lien release or the lender’s payoff contact on hand. Farm trucks registered under a ranch name and work trucks titled to a business both need someone with authority to sign for that owner.
The questions we get asked in Shenandoah Farms

- Do you take dump trucks that haul for the quarries west of Shenandoah Farms?Both Hanson Aggregates Virginia and Mellott Front Royal are crushed-stone quarries the Mine Safety and Health Administration places within about 8 miles west, and dump trucks from either one are welcome; send the VIN, the registration and photographs of the bed and hoist.
- Does a cattle truck parked on a Warren County farm have to be moved for pickup?Warren County holds 316 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and many trucks there sit on farm ground, so leave it where it is and tell us how a carrier reaches it.
