Mineral sands, gravel
The separation plant and the Stony Creek Pit
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Mineral Separation Plant 1.8 miles north of Stony Creek, a mineral processing site close enough that a dump truck or tractor parked there is practically in town. If your truck works that plant, tell us whether it sits inside the gate or at a yard nearby, so the collection can be arranged around site access.
Stony Creek Pit, a sand and gravel operation 2.5 miles to the north-east on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, is the other site on this side of town. Trucks that load sand there tend to be tandem dumps and end-dump tractors; send photos of the body, the cab and the VIN plate so we know which one we are looking at.
Two quarries on the same road out of Stony Creek
Westward from town, the Stony Creek-VA Quarry and a second crushed-stone quarry recorded as LT120-010 both sit 5.5 miles out, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A truck hauling stone from either one can be picked up at the quarry, at your shop, or at your home in Stony Creek; tell us the address that is easiest to reach.
Concord Mine & Concentrator, a metal mine 10.2 miles west in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, lies further along the same direction. If your truck has hauled between the quarries and the Concord site, gather the registration card and any service records kept in the cab before we talk.
Rail sidings upline
Collier and Poe yards above Stony Creek
Two rail yards sit north of town on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: COLLIER at 15.2 miles and POE at 17.6 miles. Tractors that shuttle loads between Stony Creek and those yards are the kind of truck we collect, day cab or sleeper.
If your tractor is usually parked near Collier or Poe rather than in Stony Creek itself, give us that location instead. We come to where the truck is, and it can stay put rather than being driven back into town first.
Twenty registered carriers, mostly working inside Virginia
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 20 active carriers based in Stony Creek, with 12 operating intrastate, 8 interstate and 7 running as private fleets. Whether your authority covers Virginia only or other states too, have your USDOT number and the truck’s title ready when you reach out.
Farm supplies are hauled by 9 of those carriers, according to the same federal census, while general freight and logs, poles, beams and lumber each count 8, and motor vehicles count 7. A log truck, a farm-supply straight truck and a car hauler from Stony Creek are all trucks we buy.
Fleets here are small: the federal carrier census shows one with 6 power units and 3 drivers, one with 3 power units and 3 drivers, and one with 2 power units and 8 drivers. FMCSA’s census also shows 14 drivers staying inside a hundred-mile radius and 25 travelling beyond it. Tell us whether your truck is home in Stony Creek or out on a longer run when you contact us.
Cotton, soybean and corn hauling around Stony Creek
Stony Creek sits among 106 farms counted across Sussex County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, where cotton, soybeans and corn are the leading crops. Grain trucks, module haulers and farm-plated straight trucks from those operations are welcome; tell us which plates the truck carries.
Further out, the Three Creek Mine, a sand and gravel operation 16.5 miles south-east on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, gives some farm trucks a second job in the off-season. If yours splits its year between fields and the pit, photos of the bed and the hitch help us understand how it is set up.
A courthouse-town office for lost truck titles
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles issues replacement titles through its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices, and the closest to Stony Creek is DMV Select - Sussex at 15074 Courthouse Road, Sussex, 23884, about 7 miles from town. If the title for your truck is lost, that office is where to apply for a copy.
Bring your registration and identification when you visit DMV Select - Sussex, and let us know once the replacement title is on its way; we can begin with photos and the VIN while the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles processes it.
