Stony Creek Pit, Three Creek Mine and the plant past them
Stony Creek Pit, a sand and gravel operation 15.5 miles west of Waverly, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records, as does Three Creek Mine, another sand and gravel operation 17.5 miles to the south. A dump truck or tractor that has shuttled aggregate out of either one may still be parked near the pit gate when you decide to sell. Give us the site name and who controls access, and we plan the collection at that spot.
Just beyond Stony Creek, at 17.6 miles west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Mineral Separation Plant, a mineral processing plant. Trucks that run between a pit and a processing plant tend to carry site logs and scale tickets in the cab. Leave those with the title and registration; they tell us what the truck hauled without anyone having to guess.
Toward Petersburg’s side
Two rail yards, two tank terminals and Fort Gregg-Adams
Two rail yards sit on the road north-west of town in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: POE at 17.9 miles and COLLIER at 20.1. If your day cab has been pulling containers or loads to and from those yards, send the VIN and a set of photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel so we know the tractor before we see it.
Further along that line, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Hopewell liquid bulk terminal 21.1 miles from Waverly and Norfolk Southern TBT (RSI Logistics) at 21.2. A tractor that has served those terminals may come with tank-related paperwork such as inspection certificates. Keep them together with the truck’s service records and hand the whole folder over at pickup.
Fort Gregg-Adams, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics locates 19.9 miles north-west, rounds out that corridor. If the truck is stored on or near a gated site, tell us in advance who can sign us in.
General freight, containers, chemicals and driveaway work
General freight shows up on the cargo lines of 10 Waverly carriers, out of 16 active ones that FMCSA’s carrier census places in town. Two more haul intermodal containers, one carries chemicals and one does driveaway and towaway work. Whichever of those your truck did, describe the loads in your first message along with the make, model and year on the title.
Nine of the Waverly carriers are registered for interstate operation and seven for intrastate, according to the federal motor carrier census, and seven run private fleets hauling their own goods. A privately owned fleet truck usually still carries the company’s registration, so check that the title is in the name of whoever signs the sale.
Among the local fleets in that census, the biggest runs 17 power units with 16 drivers, the next 11 units with 8 drivers, and a third 5 units with 3 drivers. If you are selling several trucks from a yard that size, send us a list with each VIN and location, and we will work through them one title at a time.
Radius split
Thirty-one drivers close in, twenty-six beyond
Of the drivers working for Waverly carriers, FMCSA’s census shows 31 operating inside a hundred-mile radius and 26 going farther. A truck on local runs is often back in town most nights, while one on longer routes may be parked at a customer’s yard or a truck stop when you are ready to sell.
Tell us where the truck actually is on the day, not where it is based. We collect from the address you give, whether that is a lot on the edge of Waverly or a drop yard out of state, so a current location and a phone number for whoever holds the keys is what matters.
Cotton, soybeans, corn
Cotton modules and grain loads off Waverly fields
Around Waverly, cotton, soybeans and corn lead the crop list for Sussex County’s 106 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks, module haulers and the tractors that pull them often sit idle between harvests, so a truck parked in a barn or field edge is no obstacle; give us directions to it.
Waverly held 676 jobs in 2023, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 68 of them, a 10.1 percent share, on farms, in forestry, fishing and hunting. If your truck is registered to a farm rather than a business, bring the farm registration and the title, and tell us whose name is on each.
A thirteen-mile drive to DMV Select - Sussex
For a Waverly truck whose title has gone missing, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles handles the replacement at its DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. The closest listed is DMV Select - Sussex at 15074 Courthouse Road, Sussex, 23884, which the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles places 13.1 miles from Waverly.
If the title is missing or still shows an old lienholder, start that replacement before we schedule the pickup. Bring your identification and the truck’s registration to the Courthouse Road office, and send us a photo of the new title once you have it in hand.
