East of Devine by 10.4 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Bigfoot Mine, where sand and gravel are dug and loaded. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has worked that pit is often still parked near it on a weekday, so send us the yard address along with the VIN and a contact who can unlock the gate.
Further out, Medina River Sand & Gravel is 18.9 miles north-east and the Atascosa industrial-mineral mine is 19 miles east, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck rotated between those sites, tell us which one it is sitting at now and photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab from both sides.
To the north, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Medina Quarry at 22.3 miles and 711 Quarry at 22.5 miles north-west, both crushed-stone operations. Haulers that run aggregate off those benches can be sold from the quarry lot itself; have the title in hand and the registration card from the cab before we schedule the visit.
Containers off the SAIT ramp toward Medina County
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the SAIT rail intermodal ramp at San Antonio 19.4 miles north-east of Devine. Day cabs that shuttle containers between that ramp and Medina County yards can be collected on either end of the run, wherever the tractor is parked when you call.
On the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the San Antonio Intermodal Terminal yard shows at the same 19.4 miles. For a container tractor, write down the odometer reading, the VIN and the fifth-wheel setup, and keep any annual inspection reports together in one folder.
Of the 119 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Devine, 13 hold interstate authority and the remaining 106 stay intrastate. Most trucks sold from here have spent their working life inside Texas, so the Texas title and the current registration are the two papers to find first.
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 48 of them as private fleets that haul their own goods. A ranch, a contractor or a feed business selling one of its own trucks should have the title signed by whoever is listed as owner on it, whether that is a person or the business.
The three biggest fleets in town are small, with the carrier census listing 8, 6 and 5 power units. If you are retiring one tractor from a fleet of that size, we can collect it from the same yard where the rest of your trucks park.
General freight, lowboys and hay loads
General freight is the cargo most often listed, by 71 Devine carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by machinery and large objects at 34. A flatbed or lowboy tractor that moved equipment for local contractors is the kind of truck we collect here; photograph the deck and the ramps along with the tractor.
Grain, feed and hay appear on 31 carrier registrations and farm supplies on 30, per the same FMCSA census. Medina County holds 2,204 farms, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture reports, and its leading products are cattle, then corn, then cotton. Trucks that work those farms often sit on the property between seasons, and we come to the ranch gate to load them.
Model years and mileage in Medina County trucks
Fifty-five trucks run by Devine carriers went through FMCSA roadside inspections between September 2024 and August 2026, and the middle model year among them was 2015.
Among the 27 local carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA’s census, the median truck covers 12,000 miles a year. Before we talk, read the odometer, note the engine hours if the dash shows them, and gather any service invoices you kept.
New Devine carriers and contractor trucks
If you started an operation recently and are selling the truck you began with, the title may still show a lender; ask the lienholder for a release letter before pickup.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,346 jobs in Devine, and County Business Patterns lists 20 construction establishments for the area. Contractors among them who carry a dump truck or a water truck on their books can sell it from the job site; give us the address and the name of whoever will be there.
The questions we get asked in Devine
- Who do I ask about a lost Texas title?Texas trucks are titled by the state’s title agency, and a duplicate comes from that office. Request it before collection, and if a lender is still on the title, get their lien release at the same time.
- Can I sell a farm truck that only hauls hay and feed?Hay and feed haulers are common in Devine, where 31 carriers list grain, feed and hay in FMCSA’s carrier census. Have the title and the registration ready, and send photos of the truck where it is parked on the farm.
