Crushed stone and gravel pits
Stone and gravel north-east and east of Clifton
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Clifton Plant crushed-stone quarry 12.3 miles north-east of town and the Greenwade crushed-stone quarry 13.2 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or tractor that has hauled rock from either site can be collected at the quarry yard or back at your place in Clifton; tell us which, and who holds the gate key.
East of town, MSHA records place the WHITNEY sand and gravel operation 13.7 miles away and the Aquilla sand and gravel operation 21.9 miles away. If your truck is parked at one of those pits, send the site name with your photos of the bed, the frame and the cab, so we know exactly where to send the pickup.
Blum Quarry, a dimension-stone site the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 24.9 miles north-east, ships cut blocks rather than loose aggregate. Flatbeds and lowboy rigs from that work are trucks we buy; have the title and the VIN ready when you call.
Bosque County haulers
Forty-four carriers on grain, hay and machinery loads
In that same census, 18 list general freight, 15 list grain, feed and hay, 14 list machinery and large objects, and 12 list farm supplies. A hay hauler, a grain hopper tractor or a machinery lowboy from that mix is exactly what we come out to Bosque County for.
Only 10 of the 44 run interstate, while 34 stay inside Texas, per the federal carrier census, and 28 are private fleets hauling their own goods. If your truck carries an intrastate Texas registration, bring that registration card along with the title to the sale.
Carrier filings with FMCSA show 140 power units and 135 drivers at one Clifton-based operation, with the next two at 9 and 5 power units. Whether you are selling one tractor off a small farm or several units at once, list each VIN so we can set up one collection.
Odometers near the Bosque
Clifton carriers report 160 drivers working within 100 miles and 55 driving beyond that, according to FMCSA’s census. Most trucks here end the week near home, so give us the address where yours parks between loads.
FMCSA mileage filings from 8 Clifton carriers put the typical truck at a median of 12,787 miles a year. Write down the odometer reading when you take your photos; it is one of the first figures we ask for.
Bosque ranchland
Hay and stock trucks on Bosque County ranches
Bosque County holds 1,384 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, then equine, then deer operations. Stock trailers, feed trucks and tractors that pull hay to those operations often sit on ranch land rather than a paved lot, so tell us whether a tow truck can reach yours from the road.
If a ranch truck has been titled to a family member or a farm business, check the name on the title against the seller’s name before we arrive. Where a title is missing, the replacement comes from the state’s title agency, so start that request before you contact us.
Plant jobs and new authorities
Manufacturing payrolls and Clifton start-ups

FMCSA registrations show 4 new carriers starting in Clifton in 2024 and another 4 in 2025. If you set up your authority recently and are now selling the truck, keep the registration and the bill of sale from when you bought it together with the title.
