Freight, car haulers and bulk out of Tuckahoe
Of the 87 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census with a Tuckahoe address, 67 haul general freight. If your tractor pulled dry vans or flatbeds for one of those operations, have the title and current Virginia registration in hand before you contact us; the name on the title is the person who signs.
Fourteen Tuckahoe carriers haul motor vehicles, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and nine carry dry bulk commodities. A car-hauler rig or a dump-style bulk unit can be collected with its trailer or without it; tell us which, and send a photo of each piece you want included.
Eight local carriers list fresh produce on their FMCSA census filings. Reefer tractors from that work often carry a reefer unit log or service sheet; if you kept one, put it with the title so the truck’s history travels with it.
Routes and radius
Crossing state lines or staying in Virginia
The split in Tuckahoe is close to even: 44 carriers run interstate and 42 stay intrastate, FMCSA’s census records, while 14 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck may be titled to the parent business rather than to a driver, so check whose name is on the title and who in the company can sign it.
Across the drivers tied to Tuckahoe carriers, 8,679 are recorded by FMCSA’s carrier census as working beyond 100 miles, against 352 inside that radius. A long-haul sleeper could be parked anywhere on its last run when you decide to sell; give us the address where it sits now and we plan the pickup there.
Seventeen carriers here reported mileage to FMCSA, and their median was 43,000 miles per truck in a year. Write the current odometer reading down with the VIN when you first reach out, since those two numbers start every conversation about a specific truck.
Model years on the Tuckahoe roster
FMCSA roadside inspection records covering August 2024 to August 2026 logged 2,444 trucks tied to Tuckahoe carriers, with a median model year of 2023. If the owner’s manual and any warranty booklet are still in your cab, leave them there for the collection.
Over the same inspection window, 5.48 percent of those trucks were ten or more model years old, per FMCSA roadside inspection records. Whatever the year on yours, a clear photo of the VIN plate and the door sticker lets us confirm the exact build before anything else is discussed.
Three fleets connected to Tuckahoe run 6,340, 995 and 654 power units, FMCSA’s carrier census lists. If you are selling several units out of a fleet that size, send a list with each VIN, unit number and parking location so every truck can be scheduled on its own.
Yards and terminals east of town
The North American Rail Network places the ACCA rail yard 6 miles east of Tuckahoe and a second Richmond yard 8.6 miles to the south-east. Drayage day cabs that shuttle between those yards are often parked at a yard lot rather than at home; tell us who controls that lot so the gate can be opened when we arrive.
Six miles east, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Transflo CSXT liquid bulk terminal. Tank tractors from that work should come with their hazmat placard history and any tank test paperwork you hold, which belongs with the title and registration.
The Energy Information Administration lists two Richmond petroleum product terminals, at 9.5 miles east and 9.6 miles south-east. A fuel-hauling tractor parked near either one can stay right there; we come to the truck, so you only need to share the location and a contact on site.
Quarries west, the marine terminal south-east
To the west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records two crushed-stone quarries: Engineering & Operational Support at 7.8 miles and the Boscobel Plant at 7.9 miles. Dump trucks and tri-axles working those pits may sit at a quarry lot over the weekend, so arrange site access with the operator before we schedule a visit.
The Port of Virginia’s Richmond Marine Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off facility, is 12.6 miles south-east of Tuckahoe on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. A truck that last worked the terminal can be picked up near the waterfront, provided someone can meet us with the keys and the signed title.
Construction employs 477 people in Tuckahoe under the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, and County Business Patterns lists 119 construction establishments in the area. Contractors selling a dump truck or a stake bed should gather the title, registration and any annual Virginia safety inspection record in one folder before calling.
Warehouse payrolls and Henrico soybean farms
Of 12,872 jobs counted in Tuckahoe by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, transportation and warehousing account for 284 and wholesale trade for 246. Box trucks from distribution and wholesale work are titled to a business more often than a person, so confirm the signer and bring a copy of the company registration.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 84 farms in Henrico County, with soybeans, honey and cattle at the top of the list. A farm truck or grain hauler sitting at a barn can be collected there; send photos taken in daylight and the farm’s address.
