Sand and gravel eastward
Tri-axles that run Richmond Material Co loads
Richmond Material Co, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies roughly 5.7 miles east of Cumings. A dump truck or tri-axle that has run loads out of that pit is the kind of tractor we buy here, and we collect it from the yard or driveway where it is kept.
When you write to us about an aggregate hauler, give the VIN, the bed or body type and a few photos taken in daylight from all four corners. Mention whether the truck is parked off a paved road, so the pickup crew knows what to bring for the tow.
South-west on the rails
Container rigs from the Kendleton ramp
On the North American Rail Network, which the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain, Kendleton Intermodal appears as a rail yard about 13.8 miles south-west of Cumings. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics separately lists the Kendleton rail intermodal ramp at roughly 14.1 miles in that same direction.
Day cabs and sleepers that drag chassis between that ramp and warehouses along the Brazos corridor are trucks we purchase. Tell us whether the tractor stays near Kendleton or comes home to Cumings at night, and we will arrange to meet it at whichever address is easier.
Product terminals eastward
Tank haulers on the eastbound fuel run
The Energy Information Administration places two petroleum product terminals east of Cumings, one at about 23.7 miles and a second near 24.6 miles. An ExxonMobil liquid bulk terminal, listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is around 24.7 miles out along that heading as well.
If your tractor has pulled tank trailers to those sites, say which terminals it served and send any site inspection sheets or service records you kept. Those papers travel with the photos and answer most of our questions before we ask them.
Rice fields and cattle pens
Cattle pots and module haulers near Cumings
Around Cumings, cattle, rice and cotton head the list for Fort Bend County, which counted 1,233 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Cattle pots, grain trucks and module haulers that move those crops off local fields are welcome on our list.
A farm truck often sits in a barn lot between seasons. Send a pin or gate directions with the registration details, and note whether the title is in a personal name or a farm’s name, so the paperwork matches at pickup.
Fort Bend tax office
A certified title copy from Eugene Heimann Circle
In Texas, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and the one serving Cumings is the Fort Bend County Tax Office at 1317 Eugene Heimann Circle, Richmond, 77469. That office is about 2.5 miles from town, per the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
If the original title is missing, request a certified copy there before we schedule collection. Bring identification and the VIN; if a lender was ever on the title, bring the lien release as well.
Keys, title, registration
What to gather in Cumings
Whether the truck worked gravel east of town or containers out of Kendleton, the same short set of items lets us move ahead: the signed title, the current registration, keys, and the photos you already sent.
Leave the truck where it normally parks, in Cumings or at a job site, and tell us who will be there to hand over the keys. We handle the haul from that spot.
