Tabasco Pit sand and Frontera crushed stone
Tabasco Pit, a sand and gravel operation recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 5.1 miles south-west of Citrus City. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls from it is often parked at the yard or near the pit gate on any given week, so tell us which spot to send the driver to and whether the gate needs a call ahead.
A little further along the same heading, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists MOBILE CRUSHER #3 FRONTERA MATERIALS, a crushed-stone quarry 7.3 miles out. Owners whose trucks move rock away from that crusher can send the VIN, a photo of each side and the cab, and the registration card, and we will work from those.
Texan Pit and the crusher to the north
Eight miles east of town, Texan Pit appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as another sand and gravel operation. If your truck works between that pit and job sites around Citrus City, give us the address where it is parked and we will arrange to collect it there rather than ask you to move it.
North of Citrus City, at 11.1 miles by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, sits MOBILE CRUSHER #1, a crushed-stone quarry. Keep any scale tickets, service invoices or inspection sheets with the truck; they tell us where it has worked and save a round of questions.
Fuel haulers east toward Edinburg
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named EDINBURG some 15.7 miles east of Citrus City. Tractors that pull fuel trailers out of that terminal are trucks we purchase, and the tractor can be sold with or without the trailer, so say which you have in mind.
For a tank truck or a tractor that has served the Edinburg terminal, a copy of the most recent inspection report and the title in your name are the two papers to find first. Photos of the plates, the odometer and the frame round out what we need to start.
The Rio Valley ramp south-east of town
Donna, TX - Rio Valley, a rail intermodal ramp the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 21.3 miles south-east of Citrus City, is where containers move between rail and road. Day cabs and sleepers that pull chassis off that ramp belong on our list as well.
If your tractor works the Donna ramp, it may be sitting there or at a drop yard when you reach us. Tell us which, along with the VIN and the registration, and the pickup gets planned around that location.
Fields around the valley
Gin, grain and livestock rigs off Hidalgo farms
Around Citrus City, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,045 farms across Hidalgo County, with cotton, corn and cattle listed as the leading products. Grain trucks, cattle haulers and module or flatbed rigs from those operations are welcome here, whether they sit at a barn, a gin or a feed yard.
Plenty of Citrus City-area farm rigs carry a farm partnership or ranch company on the title instead of one owner’s name. Check whose name is on yours before you contact us, and if it belongs to a partnership or company, have the person who can sign for it ready.
A lost Texas title, sorted at the tax office
A replacement Texas title comes from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles requests through county tax assessor-collector offices; for a truck kept in Citrus City that means the Hidalgo County office. Start that request early, as the sale needs the title in your name and in hand.
If a lender still shows on the title, the lien release goes with it. Have both together, plus your driver licence, and the paperwork side of the sale is ready.
The questions we get asked in Citrus City
- Can a driver pick up my end-dump at Tabasco Pit or Texan Pit?Tabasco Pit and Texan Pit, both within eight miles by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records, are places we can send a driver; give us the address and any gate rules.
- My Texas title is missing; does the Hidalgo County tax assessor-collector handle that?The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues it through county tax assessor-collector offices, so a Citrus City owner goes to the Hidalgo County office.
- Will you take a cattle hauler or cotton module truck from the valley?Hidalgo County’s 2,045 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture grow cotton and corn and raise cattle, and the trucks that serve them are ones we purchase.
