Aggregate hauling just below the Terrace
Amistad Sand & Gravel lies 1.4 miles south of town, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A dump truck or end-dump trailer that hauls out of that pit is often parked at the yard between loads, so tell us whether yours sits at the pit or at your home when you get in touch.
Del Rio Pit & Plant #87, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 1.8 miles to the south-west, is the second pit on that side of Cienegas Terrace. If your truck has hauled aggregate from either site, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, and keep the VIN and title close by when you call.
Freight and wholesale
A workforce built around moving freight
Of the 366 jobs counted in Cienegas Terrace for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, 172 sit in transportation and warehousing, close to half the total. For a seller here, that usually means a tractor, a box truck or a straight truck that runs freight in and out of the Del Rio area, and we collect from the yard or driveway where it is parked.
Wholesale trade holds 79 of those positions, a 21.6 percent share in the LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau. Delivery trucks and reefers that serve wholesale accounts are welcome too; have the registration and any service records ready so the details you give us line up with the truck we come to see.
Goats, sheep, cattle
Cattle, goats and sheep across the county
Around Cienegas Terrace, Val Verde County carries 333 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, goats and sheep as the leading livestock. Flatbed pickups, rigs that tow stock trailers and cattle haulers that move animals between pastures are trucks we purchase from ranchers here.
A livestock truck kept out on a ranch is fine where it stands. Give us the ranch gate location, a phone number for whoever opens it, and clear photos of the truck from each side, and we plan the collection around the property.
Laughlin nearby
Two military sites within a dozen miles
Laughlin AFB, 11.5 miles to the east of the Terrace, is a military installation on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list. Contractors and support crews whose trucks work around the base can sell to us from wherever the truck is kept off base, with the title in the name of the person or business selling.
Nine miles north-west, the Laughlin Recreation Annex appears in the same Bureau of Transportation Statistics listing of military installations. If your truck is stored near the annex or out toward the lake, tell us the road and the nearest landmark so the driver we send finds it without guesswork.
Titles in Texas are issued by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and its local counter for Cienegas Terrace is the Val Verde County Tax Office at 309 Mill Street, Del Rio, 78840, one of the county tax assessor-collector offices and 3.1 miles from town. A seller in Cienegas Terrace who has misplaced the title can ask that Del Rio counter for a certified copy ahead of our pickup.
Bring photo ID and the truck’s VIN to the Mill Street office, and if a lender once held the truck, bring the lien release as well. With the title in hand, the sale itself is short paperwork: you sign it over and we take the truck from Cienegas Terrace.
