Tank trucks around the Yorktown terminal and fuel depot
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named YORKTOWN just 0.3 miles east of the town center. If your tank truck loaded there, tell us the trailer type and the tank’s last product when you get in touch, and send photos of the tractor and trailer from all four sides.
About 2.2 miles south-east, the Yorktown Fuel Depot appears among the military installations recorded by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and that same federal agency places the Plains All American Pipeline liquid bulk terminal 4.1 miles east. A tractor that has shuttled between these sites can be collected from your yard or driveway in York County; give us the street address and say whether a gate code is needed.
Base, pits and rail
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and the haul roads beyond
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown lies 3.8 miles west, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Trucks that serve base contracts are often kept off the installation itself, so let us know where yours is actually parked before we arrange pickup.
Lee’s Pit, an industrial-mineral mine recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, is 5 miles south-west, while two sand and gravel operations, GSM #1 and MRA, sit roughly 15.5 and 16 miles out to the north-west and west. Dump trucks working those pits are on the list of what we buy; have the title and registration in hand and note the body length in your message.
Rail traffic is handled further down the peninsula: the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the NEWPORT NEWS rail yard 16.4 miles south. Drayage tractors based near that yard can be picked up there rather than driven back up to Yorktown.
Car haulers to log rigs
Fifty-six Yorktown carriers and their loads
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 56 active carriers here, with 38 of them hauling general freight, 13 moving machinery and large objects, 12 carrying motor vehicles and 9 handling logs, poles, beams and lumber. Whether yours is a car hauler, a lowboy or a log trailer rig, the VIN and a current odometer photo are the first two things to send.
Of those 56 carriers, the same federal census lists 32 as interstate operators and 24 as intrastate, and 21 of the total are private fleets running their own freight. Owners of a private-fleet truck should check that the title is in the business’s name and that someone authorised to sign it is available.
Yorktown’s local drivers beside its long-distance crews
Drivers working inside a 100-mile radius number 57 in FMCSA’s carrier census for Yorktown, against 102 who go farther. A long-haul truck may be away from home when you decide to sell; tell us the town where it will be parked next and we will collect it there.
Eighteen local carriers reported mileage, and their median of 11,370 miles per truck comes from the same FMCSA registrations. Include that year’s odometer photo with your registration card so the figures line up when we review the truck.
The three biggest fleets in town run 17, 17 and 11 power units according to FMCSA’s census, and ten new carriers registered in 2025 compared with two in 2024. If you are retiring one unit out of a small fleet, list each VIN separately and say which ones are for sale.
Hayes, the nearest Virginia counter when a title is missing
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles replacements for a lost title go through DMV Customer Service Centers and DMV Select offices. The closest one listed by the department is DMV Customer Service Center - Gloucester at 2348 York Crossing Drive, Hayes, 23072, about 3.1 miles from Yorktown.
Start the replacement before you contact us if you can, and keep the receipt from that Hayes counter. A title in hand, with any lien released, lets the collection go ahead without a second trip.
Honey farms and Yorktown’s job sites
Yorktown’s surrounding county had 58 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with honey listed as the leading product in York County. A farm truck used for hives or produce can be sold the same way as a commercial unit, with the title and registration ready.
The town itself had 504 jobs located in it in 2023, as recorded by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Work trucks tied to those employers, from service bodies to box trucks, can be collected from the job site with the owner’s permission.
