Weatherford Quarry and Grindstone, both west of Dennis
Weatherford Quarry, a crushed-stone operation logged by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 6.6 miles west of Dennis. A tandem dump or an end-dump tractor that has spent its shifts loading under that crusher is exactly the sort of truck to tell us about. Send the VIN, a photo of the bed and one of the data plate, and we can start from there.
Further out on the same heading, Grindstone is another crushed-stone site, 10.3 miles west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck splits its days between the two, give us the pickup address you prefer, whether that is the yard, the pit gate or your driveway in Dennis, and say whether a lowboy trailer can reach it.
Gravel belly dumps from the Tin Top road
East of town the Mine Safety and Health Administration records TIN TOP SAND AND GRAVEL PLANT at 7.1 miles and Granbury Mine, also sand and gravel, at 13.2 miles. Belly dumps, transfer trucks and water trucks are common around plants like these, and we buy each of those body types. Note the body make and length on your message so we know what is mounted behind the cab.
A truck parked at one of those plants can stay there; collection happens at the truck’s location, not ours. Ask the plant office ahead of time whether a visitor needs a site escort or a check-in at the scale house, and pass that along so the pickup crew arrives with the right instructions.
Stone to the south and north
Cut block and shale haulers south and north of Dennis
South of Dennis by 8.1 miles, Granbury Quarry cuts dimension stone, and Quality Stone of Mineral Wells, 15.5 miles to the north-west, does the same according to Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. Flatbeds and straight trucks with cranes or forks often move cut block from yards like these. If yours carries a boom or a mounted forklift, include the attachment’s make and a photo of its plate.
Millsap Shale Mine, an industrial-mineral site 10.6 miles north, appears in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Shale hauled from there tends to leave in dump bodies and live-floor trailers. Tell us whether you are selling the tractor alone, the trailer alone or the two together, since each gets its own title and its own line on the bill of sale.
A missing Dennis title starts at the Santa Fe Dr annex
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for this corner of the state that means the Parker County Tax Office at the Courthouse Annex, 1112 Santa Fe Dr, Weatherford, 76086, about 13.1 miles from Dennis. If the certificate has gone missing, that annex is where a replacement starts, so begin the request before you contact us.
With the title in hand, check that the name printed on it matches your driver’s license and that any lienholder has signed a release. Have the current registration, the plates and a set of keys together on the day of collection; a bank payoff letter belongs in the folder too if the loan is still open.
Thirty-eight Dennis-area trucks and their median year
Between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records list 38 trucks inspected here, with a median model year of 2016.5 and 47 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whichever side of that median your truck falls on, we buy it, and the model year goes on the first line of your message beside the make.
A copy of the most recent roadside inspection report, if you kept one, is useful to send along with photos of the cab interior and the odometer. Annual inspection stickers and service invoices from a Weatherford or Granbury shop round out the file and answer most questions before we ask them.
Contractors, horse farms and cattle around Dennis
County Business Patterns, kept by the Census Bureau, counts 16 construction establishments for the area around Dennis. Contractors running dump trucks, flatbeds or service bodies between job sites can sell one unit or several; list each VIN separately so every title is matched to the right truck.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture puts 4,379 farms in Parker County, and equine, cattle and sheep operations lead the list. Livestock haulers, stock-trailer tractors and feed trucks from those ranches are welcome here. If the truck lives in a pasture or a barn lot, mention gate codes and whether the ground is firm enough for a tow vehicle.
Trucks based up toward NG Fort Wolters
Up the road 18.5 miles north of Dennis, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists NG Fort Wolters as a military installation. Civilian owners who keep a truck in the Mineral Wells direction can sell it from wherever it is parked; give us the street address or the gate it sits behind.
If a truck from that side of the county is registered to a business, the person signing the title needs authority to sign for it. A letter on company letterhead or a copy of the filing that names the officer covers that, and it saves a second trip to the tax office in Weatherford.
The questions we get asked in Dennis
