Tank racks toward Amarillo
Two Amarillo petroleum terminals east of town
The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals under the Amarillo name, each 10.6 miles east of Bushland. Tank tractors that load at racks like those, and the bobtails that run fuel out to farm tanks, are trucks we buy. Write down which terminal the tractor pulled from and whether the trailer goes with it, since that settles the first questions before anyone looks at photos.
A fuel tractor kept in a yard on the Bushland side of Amarillo can stay right there for collection. Have the title in hand, the current Texas registration, and any tank or hazmat inspection paperwork the truck carries, and send pictures of the cab, the frame rails and the fifth wheel.
Aggregate haul loop
Three aggregate sites between Bushland and the Amarillo outskirts
Two sand and gravel operations sit east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records: North Amarillo at 11.5 miles and Box Canyon Sand & Gravel at 12.9. Dump trucks, belly-dump tractors and end-dump rigs that haul from pits like these are welcome here, and so are the water trucks that keep haul roads down.
Dawn Pit, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 16.8 miles south-east, adds a third site in the same loop. If your dump truck is still parked at a pit gate or a contractor’s lot, give us that address and a name for whoever controls access, and the pickup gets arranged there rather than in Bushland.
Loads off the auto ramp
Amarillo Auto Ramp, a little over twelve miles away
Amarillo Auto Ramp appears on the North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, as a rail yard 12.6 miles east of Bushland. Car haulers and day cabs that shuttle loads off a ramp such as this one fit the trucks we purchase.
For a car hauler, tell us whether the headache rack, ramps and deck stay on the unit and send photos with the decks both raised and lowered. A VIN plus an odometer photo lets us start on the truck before we ask anything else.
Feedlot and cotton haulers
Cattle, cotton and horses across the county
Around Bushland, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 243 farms in Potter County, with cattle, cotton and equine operations listed first. Livestock haulers, cattle-pot tractors, module trucks and the flatbeds that move round bales all show up on ground like that, and we buy each of them.
A ranch truck tends to sit at a barn or a pasture gate rather than a paved lot. Send a pin or plain directions to it, mention any gate code, and include photos of the bed or trailer hookup along with the cab. A brand inspection sheet or livestock trailer papers can ride along with the title if you still have them.
Replacing a missing Bushland truck title at the Polk Street counter
When a title has gone missing, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles certified copies through the county tax assessor-collector offices. For Bushland that is the Potter County Tax Office at 900 S Polk, Suite 106, Amarillo, 79101, which the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles lists 12.5 miles from town.
Bring a photo ID and the VIN to that counter, and get any lien release from the lender before you go if the truck was ever financed. Tell us at the start if a replacement title is on its way, so the remaining steps can move along beside it.
A small workplace count
Trucks kept at home in Bushland
Bushland had 210 jobs located in it during 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, for a town of 2,779 residents. Many working trucks here are owner-kept, parked in a driveway, a shop building or a fenced lot behind a house.
Wherever yours is parked, we come to that spot. Clear a path to the truck, keep the keys with it, and put service records, if you have any, in the cab so they leave together with the title.
The questions we get asked in Bushland
- A Bushland owner’s dump truck sits at Box Canyon Sand & Gravel; will you collect it at the pit?Box Canyon Sand & Gravel is 12.9 miles east of Bushland on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from the pit itself. Give us the gate contact so the visit can be cleared with the site.
- Which counter near Bushland issues a copy of a lost Texas truck title?The Potter County Tax Office, 900 S Polk, Suite 106, Amarillo, 79101, is 12.5 miles away, and the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles routes title copies through county tax assessor-collector offices like it. Carry your driver’s license and the truck’s VIN when you go.
- Do you take cattle trailers and the tractors that pull them?Potter County’s 243 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture list cattle first, and livestock tractors and pots from that work are trucks we buy. Send photos of both units and say whether they are sold together.
