Registered on Cedar Creek
Carriers with a Cedar Creek address, mostly Texas-only
Just 9 of Cedar Creek’s 167 active carriers hold interstate authority in FMCSA’s carrier census; the remaining 158 stay inside Texas. A Texas-only tractor or straight truck is the usual case here, so the paperwork we ask for is Texas paperwork: the title in your name, the current registration and a photo of the VIN plate.
Private fleets, outfits moving their own goods for a farm, shop or contractor, number 49 among the town’s carriers in that federal census. If your truck belongs to a business of that kind, tell us who holds the title, the company or you personally, so the signature on the transfer matches the name on the front.
In 2025, 19 carriers registered here for the first time by FMCSA’s census count, and 16 did in 2024. An owner who started out recently and is selling a first truck can reach us with nothing more than the VIN, the title and a few clear photos of the cab and the chassis.
Hay, vans, machinery
General freight, machinery, hay and moving vans
General freight is the cargo class most Cedar Creek carriers declare, 77 of them in FMCSA’s census, followed by 16 hauling machinery and large objects. A dry van tractor, a box truck or a lowboy setup from this mix is the kind of equipment we collect, and a list of the trailer or body it pulled helps us read your photos.
Ten local carriers declare grain, feed and hay, and another ten household goods, by the census figures FMCSA publishes. A moving van or a flatbed used for round bales both qualify; send the body length or the deck length along with the registration, and we will know what to bring to load it.
Mileage in this group stays fairly local: across 32 carriers that reported it to FMCSA, the median is 25,000 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer before you call, and take one photo of it so the figure on the title transfer and the figure on the dash agree.
Terminals and pits
Fuel terminals and aggregate pits around Bastrop County
The Energy Information Administration lists the Flint Hills Resources petroleum product terminal at Bastrop 5.8 miles east of town and the Mustang Ridge fuels terminal 10.4 miles west. If your tractor has been parked at a yard near either one, give us the gate address and a contact name, and the pickup gets planned around the site’s hours.
To the north, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Texas Materials Garfield Plant 7 miles out and Rambo Materials 7.7 miles north-east, both sand and gravel operations. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that worked those pits can stay where they sit; tell us whether the truck is inside a fenced pit or on a public road.
Further west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Texas-Lehigh Cement Plant and Quarry 20 miles away and the Buda Quarry, a crushed-stone site, at 21 miles. A mixer or a bulk tractor that hauled from them can be collected where it is parked, so give us that address rather than your home address.
Units and years
Fleet sizes and model years on local roads
Most Cedar Creek outfits are small; in FMCSA’s census, one registered fleet runs 15 power units with 34 drivers, another 7 units with 2 drivers, and a third 5 units with 4 drivers. Whether you are selling one truck or several from a yard like those, a list of VINs with each unit’s title status lets us handle them in a single conversation.
FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 97 trucks from local carriers checked between September 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2012 and 56.7 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on yours, the title and registration are what we need, plus photos of the cab, frame and tires.
Driver records in the federal carrier census put 183 local drivers within a 100-mile radius and 86 beyond it. A truck that works the long legs may be parked away from Cedar Creek when you decide to sell; tell us the city where it sits and we arrange the collection there.
Land and bases
Farms, construction and the two Guard sites
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,871 farms in Bastrop County, with cattle, horses and milk as the leading products. Farm trucks and cattle haulers from those operations are trucks we buy; if the truck is titled to a ranch, have the ranch’s signer available when the paperwork is done.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 64 construction establishments in the area, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places NG Bergstrom 11.6 miles north-west and NG Camp Swift 17.9 miles north-east. A contractor’s dump truck or flatbed can be collected from a job site; send the address and tell us who can let our driver in.
Lost the title on a truck from any of these operations? Ask the state’s title agency for a duplicate before we schedule the pickup, and send us a copy of the receipt or the replacement so we can match it to the VIN.
The questions we get asked in Cedar Creek
- My truck sits near the Flint Hills terminal by Bastrop, so can the collection happen at that lot?That terminal sits 5.8 miles east of Cedar Creek on the Energy Information Administration’s list, and we collect from the lot where the truck is parked. Send the lot address plus a name and number for the person who opens its gate.
- Every load my tractor hauled stayed on Texas highways around Bastrop County, so does an intrastate-only history change anything?Intrastate is how 158 of the 167 active carriers here are registered in FMCSA’s census, so a Texas-only truck is routine for us. Send the Texas title, registration and VIN photo to start.
- Do you take dump trucks from the gravel pits north of town?The Garfield Plant and Rambo Materials, sand and gravel operations 7 and 7.7 miles north on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, are the kind of sites we collect from. Tell us whether the truck sits inside the pit or at a yard nearby.
- How do I replace a lost title on a truck kept in Cedar Creek?Bastrop County trucks are titled through the state’s title agency, which issues duplicates. Request one, then send us the VIN and a copy of the paperwork so we can line it up with the truck.
