If your tractor or box truck has spent its years on general freight runs out of Anna, start by sending us the VIN, the title holder’s name and a few photos of the cab and the frame.
Of those 191 Anna carriers, 109 run intrastate only and 82 cross state lines, according to the same FMCSA census, while 43 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that stayed inside Texas will usually carry Texas registration only; one with interstate authority may also have IFTA decals and apportioned plates, so tell us which kind yours is before pickup.
New registrations in Anna rose from 15 in 2024 to 34 in 2025 on FMCSA’s census. If you are one of those newer operators and the truck is still under a lender’s lien, have the lender’s name and payoff contact ready so the title can be released at sale.
Machinery, lumber and dry bulk
Twenty-eight Anna carriers on FMCSA’s census list machinery and large objects as cargo, and 25 list logs, poles, beams and lumber. Lowboys, flatbeds and the tractors that pull them are trucks we buy; if the trailer is part of the sale, send photos of its deck and its own title alongside the tractor’s.
Dry bulk commodities appear on the filings of 21 local carriers in the FMCSA census, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Ambrose sand and gravel operation 24.7 miles north-east of town. If your end dump or bulk hopper is parked out near Ambrose, give us the gate contact and we will arrange collection there rather than in Anna.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 34 construction establishments in the area, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 59 construction jobs in Anna in 2023. Dump trucks and flatbeds from that work are welcome; keep any service invoices together with the title so they travel with the truck.
The North American Rail Network places two Sherman rail yards, one of them run by the DGNO, about 20.5 and 20.8 miles north of Anna. Drivers who shuttle loads to those yards often park their tractors up there between runs, and that is fine with us; tell us the lot address and who holds the keys.
South of town, 22.4 miles away, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Wylie rail intermodal ramp. Day cabs that pull containers off that ramp can be collected wherever they sit, whether that is in Wylie, in Anna or at a yard in between, as long as you give us the location and a phone number for whoever can let us in.
FMCSA roadside inspection records also show about 46 percent of those trucks were ten or more model years old when inspected.
Whatever the model year of your truck, the same few papers matter: the Texas title, the current registration and any annual inspection reports you still hold. If a recent roadside inspection report is in the glovebox, include a photo of it with the others you send.
Carrier filings in FMCSA’s census put 226 Anna drivers within 100 miles of home and 266 beyond that radius. For the 53 Anna carriers that report mileage, the median truck covered 43,984 miles a year, again according to FMCSA’s census figures.
If your truck is out on a long haul when you contact us, we can plan collection at the end of the run or at a yard where it stops. A short-haul truck parked at home in Anna just needs an address we can reach with a tow or a driver.
If your truck is parked behind a locked gate or up a narrow lane in Anna, mention it when you first get in touch.
Collin County farms and ag trucks
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,330 farms in Collin County, led by cattle, wheat and corn. Grain trucks, cattle haulers and farm tractors bought for hauling are part of what we purchase from owners around Anna.
On a farm truck that has stayed in the family, check whose name appears on the title before you contact us. If that title has gone missing, a duplicate comes from the state’s title agency in Texas, and the request can start before the sale.
