Sell your semi truck for cash in Bastrop the easy and convenient way

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists BASTROP PLANT, a sand and gravel operation 2.9 miles north-west of town, and Bastrop Sand Supply, another one 4.3 miles out in that same direction. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has spent its days loading at either pit can be collected at the pit gate or at your yard. Tell us which of the two it worked from and who holds the key to the lot.

Further out, Mine Safety and Health Administration records show an industrial-mineral mine 22 miles south-east of Bastrop. If your truck ran that road, have the title and the current Texas registration in one envelope, and take photos of the bed, the frame and the cab before you call.

Energy Information Administration records place the FLINT HILLS RESOURCES LP-BASTROP petroleum product terminal 6.1 miles west of town, with the MUSTANG RIDGE FUELS TRMNL 22.1 miles off on that same westward line. A tractor that pulled tank trailers between those two racks is a truck we buy. Send its VIN and the odometer reading first, then any terminal loading records you kept.

If your tanker tractor is parked in a yard near Flint Hills rather than at home, that is fine. Give us the yard address and a contact who can let us in, and the tractor can stay right where it is parked until collection.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 237 active carriers based in Bastrop; 122 of them list general freight, 35 list machinery and large objects, 25 haul motor vehicles and 20 carry logs, poles, beams and lumber. Box trucks, flatbeds, car haulers and log trailers’ tractors all fit what we collect here, so describe the body and the trailer it pulled when you get in touch.

FMCSA’s census also splits those 237 carriers: 202 stay inside Texas, 35 work interstate, and 71 are private fleets. A private-fleet truck often carries a company’s own maintenance file; ask for a copy before you sell it, since it answers our questions in one go.

In the same federal census, drivers working within 100 miles of Bastrop number 1,155, against 317 who run beyond that radius, and the 49 carriers reporting mileage put the median at 35,000 miles per truck. Most local trucks, on those FMCSA figures, are parked somewhere in the county at night, so a pickup address close to town is the usual case.

The three biggest fleets registered in Bastrop with FMCSA run 692, 168 and 36 power units, with 655, 173 and 36 drivers respectively. A fleet selling several units at once can list them by VIN on one sheet; we work through them together rather than one call per truck.

New registrations in FMCSA’s carrier census show 22 carriers starting up here in 2024 and 19 in 2025. If you are one of those newer owner-operators and are now selling, have the title in your name and the cab card from your registration ready; a recently bought truck sometimes still has the title in transit, and it helps to know that early.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 8,611 jobs in Bastrop, with construction at 333 of them, or 3.9 percent, manufacturing at 91 and wholesale trade at 65. Trucks attached to a building job may be parked on site; tell us the job address and when the gate is open.

Across Bastrop County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,871 farms, with cattle, horses and milk the top lines. A livestock hauler, a feed truck or a tractor kept in a barn on a ranch road can be collected from the property itself; send a pin for the barn and photos taken outside in daylight.

Down the river 12.2 miles south-east, the North American Rail Network shows the SMITHVILLE rail yard, and a tractor that shuttled freight to that yard may be parked in Smithville rather than Bastrop. We collect there just the same; give us the street address.

Camp Swift lies 10.5 miles north of town, and Bergstrom at the Austin airport sits 21.6 miles west, both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as military installations. Trucks stored near either base must be reachable without a pass, so if yours sits behind a controlled gate, move it to an open lot or tell us who can escort a driver in.

• Will you pick up a dump truck sitting at a gravel pit off the north-west side of Bastrop?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places BASTROP PLANT 2.9 miles north-west of town, and collecting from a pit like that is routine for us. Tell us who runs the gate and whether a loaded-out truck blocks the way.
• Which details do you want first for a tanker tractor that loaded at the Bastrop fuel rack?Flint Hills’ Bastrop terminal, 6.1 miles west of town on Energy Information Administration records, is a common starting point for tanker tractors here. Send the VIN, the odometer reading and photos of the tractor and the fifth wheel.
• Must a truck kept on a Bastrop County cattle ranch be driven into town before you collect it?Bastrop County has 1,871 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we drive out to them. Send a map pin for where the truck sits and tell us if the ranch road is gated.
• How does a Bastrop seller with a missing title get started?Bastrop sellers who have lost a title still start the same way: give us the VIN and the name the truck is registered in. A replacement title from the state needs to be in hand before the truck changes owners, and we will tell you what to bring.
