Newington
Fuel terminals on the south side of town
The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals at Newington, one 3 miles and the other 3.3 miles south of Springfield. A tank truck or fuel tractor that loads at those racks is usually parked close by between runs, so give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key when you get in touch.
Three and a half miles east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Norfolk Southern TBT liquid bulk terminal at 3.4 miles out. If your tractor has pulled liquid loads between that terminal and the Newington racks, keep its hazmat placarding paperwork and any tank test certificates in the cab folder; they travel with the title when we collect.
Two military installations within five miles
Fort Belvoir lies 5 miles south and Mark Center 4.9 miles north-east, both listed as military installations by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that serve base gates often sit on a contractor lot rather than at the owner’s home, so tell us whether a visitor pass or escort is needed before a driver can reach yours.
A truck stored on or beside a base still sells on its Virginia title and registration. Photograph the VIN plate, the odometer and all four sides of the cab, and send them with the plate number so the paperwork matches what we see.
Stone pits south-west and west of Springfield
According to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the GRAHAM-VIRGINIA crushed-stone quarry is 7.7 miles south-west of town, with the Manassas quarry 18.1 miles to the west. Dump trucks and aggregate haulers from those pits can be collected at the quarry yard or at a contractor lot; just tell us which one holds yours.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 97 construction establishments here, and FMCSA’s carrier census shows 23 Springfield carriers hauling dry bulk commodities. If your dump truck or tri-axle hauled stone for one of those builders, keep a copy of its last annual inspection record with the title.
General freight, car haulers and movers on the FMCSA roll
Of the 200 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Springfield, 109 list general freight, 27 haul motor vehicles and 22 move household goods. Car carriers, box trucks and moving vans all fit what we take, so name the body type and the trailer it pulls in your first message.
Interstate authority covers 142 of those carriers, while 58 run intrastate only and 75 operate as private fleets, per the same FMCSA census. A private fleet truck carries the company’s name on the title, so have the officer who can sign for the business ready when we schedule the collection.
New registrations have climbed: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 26 carriers added in 2025 against 15 in 2024. An owner who started up in the last two years and is now stepping away can sell the tractor with its current USDOT number still on the door; we only need the title and a signed bill of sale.
Local routes and the mileage they log
Drivers working within 100 miles number 1,124 against 313 who range farther, in FMCSA’s carrier census for Springfield. Most local units return to a home yard each evening, which is where we would expect to load yours, so share that yard’s street address rather than the office’s.
For the 69 carriers reporting mileage, FMCSA’s carrier census puts the median at 20,833 miles per truck a year. Write down the exact odometer reading on the day you contact us; the Virginia title transfer form has a line for it.
Across 70 Springfield trucks pulled over between September 2024 and August 2026, the median model year in FMCSA roadside inspection records sits at 2010.5, and 62.9 percent of them were built ten or more years earlier. Whatever year yours is, bring the build year and the engine make to the conversation so we can match the right paperwork.
One fleet here runs 441 power units with 713 drivers, and two others run 40 and 25 units, again per FMCSA’s carrier census. A company selling several tractors at once can list every VIN in one message, and we can arrange the collections together.
Warehouses, freight jobs and county farms
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 record 59,476 jobs in Springfield, 4,218 of them in transportation and warehousing, and 517 in wholesale trade. A straight truck that delivered for one of those employers can be collected at the dock where it is kept once you confirm someone there will release the keys.
Horses, potted flowering plants and honey head the list for Fairfax County’s 77 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A horse hauler or nursery delivery truck from one of those farms is welcome too; send its title, registration card and a few clear photos taken in daylight.
