Fuel terminals and naval stations east of town
Eleven miles east of Williamsburg, the Yorktown petroleum product terminal appears in Energy Information Administration listings as a fuel loading point for the area. If your tractor has pulled fuel tankers out of that terminal, tell us which trailer it was coupled to and whether the fifth wheel stays with the sale.
Further along the same road, a liquid bulk terminal run by Plains All American Pipeline sits 14.8 miles east, per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck parked east of Williamsburg can stay where it is; send the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Two military installations named by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Cheatham Annex at 5 miles and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown at 7 miles, both lie east of the city. Base access needs planning, so if the truck is on or beside either one, move it to an open lot or tell us who can escort a driver in.
Sand, gravel and mineral sites to the north-west
Two sand and gravel operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls, MRA at 5.7 miles and GSM #1 at 5.9 miles, lie north-west of Williamsburg. Dump trucks and tandem-axle haulers that load at pits like these are trucks we buy; photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab, and note the axle count.
South-east of town, Lee’s Pit is an industrial-mineral mine 8.4 miles out according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A hauler kept at a pit yard can be collected right there, so give us the site entrance and the hours the gate is open rather than driving it into the city.
Car haulers, lowboys and freight rigs registered in Williamsburg
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 121 active carriers in Williamsburg, with 68 hauling general freight, 22 moving motor vehicles, 19 carrying machinery and large objects and 13 handling intermodal containers. Car haulers, lowboys and container chassis tractors all fit what we purchase, so name the body or trailer setup in your first message.
Seventeen of those carriers registered in 2025 and eight in 2024, the federal census adds. A newer operation selling its first truck should have the title in the business name and the USDOT number to hand; if the title cannot be found, tell us before the collection date so the paperwork is sorted first.
Interstate miles from a small Virginia city
Of the local carriers, 62 run interstate, 59 stay intrastate and 42 are private fleets moving their own goods, according to FMCSA’s census. Drivers listed by those carriers split 457 working within 100 miles and 333 travelling beyond it, the same FMCSA records show. A truck that runs out of state may be parked away from home when you contact us; tell us where it will be that week.
Across 32 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median truck covered 19,650 miles in a year. Have the odometer reading, the VIN and the registration card together when you get in touch, since those three answer the first questions we ask.
Fleet size varies widely here: the three largest operators on the federal census list 108, 99 and 30 power units, with 70, 251 and 23 drivers. Selling several units at once is straightforward; send a list with each VIN and where each truck is parked.
Federal roadside checks on Williamsburg-registered rigs
Williamsburg trucks stopped for roadside checks between August 2024 and August 2026 number 116 in FMCSA’s inspection records, and their median model year is 2021. Keep any inspection reports from those stops with the title, since they record the truck’s history in an official form.
Just over one in eight of those inspected Williamsburg trucks, 12.07 percent by FMCSA’s roadside tally, carried a model year ten or more years back. Whatever the year on your registration, send clear photos of the cab, the frame and the tires along with service records, and we will work from those.
Jobs and businesses around the city
Of the 12,295 jobs located in Williamsburg during 2023, manufacturing held 195, construction 79 and transportation and warehousing 69, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A box truck or flatbed that serves a local plant or job site can be picked up from that site; give us a contact who is there during the day.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 178 construction establishments and 7 warehousing establishments in Williamsburg city. Contractors selling a dump, stake-bed or crane truck should gather the title, the current registration and any equipment manuals before we arrive.
