West-side crushed stone
D & D Pit and the crushed-stone haul out of Elm Creek
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists D & D Pit, a crushed-stone quarry, just 0.8 miles west of Elm Creek. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has spent its shifts loading under that crusher is very likely still sitting near the pit or in a yard on this side of town, and we arrange collection wherever it stands. Pass along the pit’s address plus the name of the D & D Pit hand who unlocks the gate.
Pull the D & D Pit truck onto open ground if you can and send pictures of the cab, the bed or trailer, the frame rails, the tires and the VIN plate, then add the registration so the paperwork matches the unit in the pictures.
Eagle Aggregate and the gravel ground toward Eagle Pass
Eagle Aggregate LLC, which federal mine-safety records from MSHA class as a sand and gravel operation, works ground about 3.5 miles north-west of Elm Creek. Belly dumps, side dumps and tandem gravel trucks are the usual equipment on that kind of site, and each one is a truck we buy from its owner.
Seven miles south, Alamo Con Prod Eagle Pass S & G appears on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register as a second sand and gravel operation. If your truck rotated between that plant and the Eagle Aggregate pit, tell us which site it parks at now so we send the pickup to the right gate rather than chasing it across the county.
Hauling to the Eagle Pass rail yard
Per the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Eagle Pass rail yard lies 5.6 miles south of Elm Creek. Day cabs and flatbed tractors that shuttle loads between that yard and the pits north of it are a regular sight on the roads between the two.
A tractor that worked the Eagle Pass yard might be dropped in town or left near the tracks. Either spot is fine with us; give us the location, confirm the title is in your name, and list who can hand over the keys on the day.
Goat, cotton and horse ranches around Elm Creek
Maverick County had 234 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with goats, cotton and equine listed as its leading categories. Ranch flatbeds, stock-trailer pickups, livestock haulers and cotton-module trucks are what that mix of farm work keeps around Elm Creek.
A farm truck often sits in a barn or a pasture lot outside town between seasons. We collect from the ranch itself. Drop a map pin on the ranch gate, tell us whether a tow rig can reach the barn, and keep any service records in the cab with the title.
Title for Elm Creek
The title and papers to keep with a D & D Pit or ranch truck
If it was lost in a move or a shuffle between ranch and quarry, the state’s title agency issues the duplicate; start that request before you send us the truck’s details.
Alongside the title, gather the current registration, any inspection sheets from the quarry or rail work, and the service log if one was kept. A truck from D & D Pit or a Maverick County ranch with those papers in a folder makes the handover at the gate straightforward.
The questions we get asked in Elm Creek
- I ran a gravel truck between Eagle Aggregate and the Eagle Pass plant. Would you buy a gravel truck from that circuit?Both sites, 3.5 miles north-west and 7 miles south of Elm Creek, are sand and gravel operations on MSHA’s register, and gravel trucks from that work are squarely what we purchase from owners.
- Will you buy a livestock or ranch truck from a goat operation?Goats top the list for Maverick County’s 234 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and the pickups, stock haulers and flatbeds that serve those ranches are trucks we buy and collect from the ranch gate.
