Two crushed-stone quarries on the edge of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two crushed-stone quarries near Eastland: Eastland Quarry, 0.1 miles south, and Impact Rover #1, 4.3 miles east. If your dump truck or tractor has been hauling rock out of either pit, it may still be parked at the quarry gate rather than in town, and that is where we can collect it.
Before pickup at a working quarry, give us the name of whoever controls access on site and the hours the gate is open. We collect a truck parked at the eastern pit where it stands, without anyone driving it back into Eastland.
Photos help us understand a quarry truck before anyone travels: the bed or trailer, the frame rails, the tires and the cab, plus a clear shot of the VIN plate and the odometer.
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 67 active carriers in Eastland, and 53 of them are registered for intrastate work against 14 that cross state lines. For a seller, that usually means the truck has spent its working life on Texas roads and its registration and paperwork are Texas documents.
Of those carriers, 31 run private fleets, hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire, according to the same federal census. A private-fleet truck often has a single owner’s service file behind it; bring the records you kept, whatever shape they are in.
FMCSA’s carrier census records 4 Eastland carriers registered in 2025 and 3 in 2024. If you started your operation in one of those years and are now parking a tractor, the same steps apply as for a long-standing fleet.
What Eastland’s trucks are licensed to carry
General freight leads the cargo list in FMCSA’s carrier census, with 38 Eastland carriers authorised for it. The same census lists machinery and large objects at 18 carriers, motor vehicles at 15 and metal sheets, coils and rolls at 14.
Those last three point to flatbeds, step-decks, lowboys and car haulers as well as dry vans. When you contact us, say which trailer the tractor pulled and whether the trailer is part of the sale, so both are described correctly from the start.
Have the current odometer reading ready alongside the VIN; those two figures let us identify the exact truck before we ask anything else.
Short-haul driving dominates the local roster
Carriers in Eastland report 641 drivers working within 100 miles of base and 76 working beyond it, per the FMCSA carrier census. If your tractor ran those local loops, tell us whether it now sits at a shop, a jobsite or your own place outside Eastland, and we arrange collection at that spot.
FMCSA records three Eastland fleets at 853, 18 and 10 power units, with 600, 7 and 5 drivers respectively. Whether you are a fleet manager releasing several units or an owner-operator with one truck, tell us how many units and where each one is parked.
We buy trucks across that whole spread of model years. Put the year, make and model in your first message, and keep your most recent inspection report with the title, since roadside inspection records are one more piece of the truck’s history you can hand over.
Jobs, construction firms and cattle country
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 1,926 jobs in Eastland in 2023, with 121 in manufacturing, 109 in transportation and warehousing and 97 in construction.
Out in the county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,210 farms in Eastland County, with cattle, horses and goats at the top of the list. Livestock haulers and farm trucks parked on a ranch are collected where they stand; send directions to the gate and a phone number for whoever will be there.
Whichever kind of work the truck did, the title is the one document the sale cannot go ahead without. If it is lost, the state’s title agency issues a replacement; start that request before you contact us.
