Sand and gravel a short haul from Carter
Heading east out of Carter, Carr Sand Pit Properties digs sand and gravel 14.2 miles away, while Image Materials works the same material 15.6 miles off toward the north-east, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration rolls. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls from pits like these is a truck we buy, and it can stay parked at the pit, the yard or your house in Carter while we arrange to collect it.
If your rig has spent its days loading at those two pits, send photos of the bed, the hoist, the cab and the frame rails along with the VIN. Tell us whether it sits on hard ground or a soft pit floor, so the pickup crew brings the right equipment for where it is parked.
Quarry and shale haul routes out of town
Twenty-odd miles north of Carter, at a listed distance of 20.2 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records both the Bridgeport Stone Plant and the Chico Quarry as crushed-stone quarries. Rock trucks and tractors pulling aggregate trailers between those quarries and job sites are part of what we purchase, wherever they are parked between loads.
To the south-west, Millsap Shale Mine sits 18.5 miles from Carter on the Mine Safety and Health Administration list as an industrial-mineral mine. For a truck that has worked that run, gather the registration, any service invoices you kept and a clear shot of the odometer before you call; those three things settle most of our questions in one conversation.
Fuel on the move
The Aledo terminal south-east of Carter
The Aledo petroleum product terminal appears in Energy Information Administration records 14.3 miles south-east of Carter. Tractors set up for tanker work, and the straight-truck fuel haulers that run out of terminals like it, fit what we take on.
Before we talk, note whether the tanker trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind, and photograph any placards or hazmat equipment on the unit. A tractor parked at the terminal lot or back home in Carter can be collected from either spot.
Contract hauling for the Guard
Fort Wolters to the west, Shoreview to the south-east
NG Fort Wolters lies 17.2 miles west of Carter, and the Shoreview National Guard site sits 19 miles to the south-east, both carried by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as military installations. Contractors who supply those sites run box trucks, flatbeds and tractors, and any of those can be sold to us from Carter.
If a truck you own has made deliveries onto either installation, its gate passes stay with you; what we need is the title, the registration and a set of photos taken in daylight from all four corners.
Horse barns and cattle pens near Carter
Around Carter, Parker County holds 4,379 farms by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture count, with equine, cattle and sheep heading its list of farm types. Ranch flatbeds, livestock-hauling tractors and feed trucks parked on a property out here are trucks we collect from the pasture gate or the barn.
On a ranch, tell us the gate code or who will meet the crew, and whether the ground is dry enough for a tow unit to reach the truck. A livestock trailer that stays on the property simply gets mentioned so nobody hooks the wrong one.
Builders and fleets
Construction firms and the trucks on local roads
Seventy-eight construction establishments are counted in Parker County by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Their dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies are the same classes we buy from Carter owners, whether the truck sits on a job site or in a contractor’s yard.
Of 222 trucks stopped for checks between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the middle model year at 2017 and count 45.5 percent as a decade or more past their build year. Whatever the model year of yours, write it down with the make, the model and the VIN before you contact us.
Replacing a missing certificate of ownership
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Carter that is the Parker County Tax Office at the Courthouse Annex, 1112 Santa Fe Dr, Weatherford, 76086, 12.1 miles from town. A lost title is replaced there, so start that request before you plan the sale.
If a lender still holds a lien on the truck, ask them for the release letter now and keep it with the title. Bring both, plus your registration, and the paperwork side of selling from Carter is complete.
