Selling a truck in Gun Barrel City? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Aggregate pits west and south of the town

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the 2229 Seven Points sand and gravel operation 7.5 miles west of Gun Barrel City, and King Sand & Gravel 12.5 miles to the south. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has hauled aggregate out of either pit can be sold from the yard where it is parked; tell us which site it works and whether a gate needs opening.

Patriot Mining and Materials, an industrial-mineral mine, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 13.7 miles west of town. If your truck spends its week on a mine road, send photos of the cab, the bed or trailer and the plate showing the VIN, and have the Texas title in hand before we schedule the collection.

A town of small, mostly local carriers

Of the 35 Gun Barrel City carriers active in FMCSA’s census, just 6 hold interstate operations and the other 29 keep to Texas roads. Most trucks we would collect here, then, are registered and parked within Texas, so the title and registration you need are Texas documents and nothing out of state.

Sixteen of those 35 carriers are private fleets moving their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. If your truck belongs to a business rather than to you personally, the title will be in the company’s name; have the person authorised to sign for the company ready when you call.

Even the top three outfits on FMCSA’s Gun Barrel City register stop at 5, 5 and 4 power units apiece. Selling one tractor out of a four- or five-truck operation is a normal request for us; give us each VIN separately if you are letting go of more than one.

Freight, machinery, cars and steel coils

General freight is the most common cargo class among local carriers, with 14 listing it in FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by machinery and large objects at 8 and motor vehicles at 8. That points to box trucks and van tractors, lowboys and step-decks, and car haulers, all of which we purchase.

Seven carriers in town tell FMCSA they haul metal sheets, coils and rolls. A flatbed tractor set up for coil work should come with notes on what equipment stays with it, such as straps, chains or a coil rack, so we know what is part of the sale.

For a lowboy or car hauler, send us photos of the trailer deck and ramps along with the tractor. If the trailer is sold separately or kept, say so at the start.

How old the inspected trucks are, and how far they go

FMCSA roadside inspection records for 30 trucks from Gun Barrel City carriers, inspected between September 2024 and August 2026, put the median model year at 2020, with 30 percent of them ten or more years old. Pull the VIN off the door jamb and read the odometer before you contact us; a 2009 tractor and a 2022 one start with those same two numbers.

Across the 6 local carriers that file mileage with FMCSA, a typical truck covers a median 40,000 miles in a year. Keep the most recent service records with the title; a maintenance log tells us what the truck has had done without anyone needing to guess.

New registrations continue at a modest pace: FMCSA’s census shows 3 new carriers in 2025 and 2 in 2024. If you started your authority recently and are now selling, have the bill of sale or title from when you bought the truck ready.

Contractors in town, cattle and goats in the county

Gun Barrel City counted 2,384 jobs in 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and 226 of them, or 9.5 percent, were in construction. Gun Barrel City has 34 construction establishments, going by the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A dump truck, flatbed or service truck from one of those contractors can be sold with the title in the company’s name, signed by whoever holds authority for the business.

Henderson County held 1,891 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and goats as the leading livestock. A truck kept on a ranch outside town can stay there; give us the property address and directions to where it sits, and we arrange the pickup at the ranch.

Roads, bridges and the nearest rail yard

Of the 7 bridges the National Bridge Inventory records in and around Gun Barrel City, none is load-posted and none has a clearance under 14 feet. Tell us whether the truck is on a paved lot, a gravel pad or a pasture, so the right equipment comes to collect it.

A rail yard called HILL lies 24.1 miles south-west of Gun Barrel City on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor is parked near that yard instead of at home, send us the exact location and the name of whoever controls access to the lot.
