Aggregate out of Elkton and Thorndale
Quarry haulers south-west and west of Stanley
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Elkton Plant, a crushed-stone quarry, about 11.4 miles south-west of Stanley. A dump truck or tri-axle that hauls aggregate out of that plant may be parked at the pit or at a yard in town when you call, so tell us which one and whether a loaded trailer is still hooked up.
West of town, Thorndale Quarry is another crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, roughly fifteen miles out. If your truck splits its days between the two pits, a photo of the body, the hoist and the VIN plate gives us the whole picture before we arrange collection.
Day cabs serving Shenandoah’s rail yard
About 9.5 miles south-west of Stanley, the Shenandoah rail yard appears on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs and flatbeds that shuttle freight between that yard and the valley’s farms and quarries are the kind of tractor we look at, and the trailer can come with it or stay behind, as you prefer.
If the tractor is kept near the yard rather than in Stanley, give us that address instead of your home one. We collect from wherever the truck sits, so the useful details are a gate code, a contact on site and room for a carrier to load it.
Farm trucks across the Page Valley
Stanley is ringed by 492 farms in Page County, according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, corn and soybeans head that census’s list for the county. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and the farm tractors that pull them all qualify, including ones registered to the farm instead of to you personally.
When a truck is titled in a farm’s name, have whoever signs for the farm ready to sign the title over. Along with it, send a copy of the registration and a few photos of the cab, the bed and the tires.

Construction trucks from Stanley’s contractors
Page County is home to 14 construction establishments, as counted in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Their dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks often sit at a job site or a contractor’s lot between projects, and we can collect from either spot.
Stanley itself held 368 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, so a small contractor here may own one or two work trucks rather than a fleet. One truck or three, start with the VIN, the odometer reading and photos of each.
The Luray counter on Court Street for a lost title
Duplicate titles in this state come from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles them at its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles lists the Page County DMV Select, at 103 South Court Street in Luray, as the closest such office to Stanley, about 6.1 miles away.
Ask that office for a replacement before you schedule collection if the original title has gone missing, and bring the registration and your identification with you. If a lender still shows on the title, a lien release from that lender belongs in the same folder as the new title.
