Crushed and cut stone around Nolanville
The Mine Safety and Health Administration places Nolanville Mine & Mill, a crushed-stone quarry, 3.7 miles north-east of Harker Heights, with Gibbs Quarry 7.3 miles to the south-west. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either pit can stay parked at the yard or the quarry lot; give us that address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Dimension-stone work shows up in the same Mine Safety and Health Administration listings: Adams Ranch lies 9.8 miles south-east and Apache Stone Quarry LLC 12.1 miles south. Flatbeds hauling cut blocks off those sites should come with photos of the deck, the tie-down rails and the cab, plus the title in your name.
Seventeen miles east, the 1159 Academy sand and gravel operation appears on the Mine Safety and Health Administration roll too. If your truck runs aggregate out toward Academy, tell us which site it works from so the collection is set at the place it is usually parked.
Between the post and the Temple tracks
Fort Cavazos is listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a military installation 12.3 miles north-west of town. A truck kept off-post near the installation is simple for us to reach; if it is parked on the installation itself, let us know early so access can be sorted before a collection date is set.
The North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the TEMPLE yard 17.4 miles east and, 13.5 miles west, a yard named FT. HOOD. Tractors that shuttle loads between either yard and Harker Heights can be sold from wherever they are staged; send the VIN, the odometer reading and the registration first.
Freight, coils and car haulers on local authorities
Harker Heights has 93 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 66 outfits on that roster tick the general freight box. Of the same 93, the census shows 63 operating intrastate only, 30 crossing state lines and 22 running private fleets for their own goods, so a box truck delivering for a local business and a sleeper on interstate lanes both fit what we purchase.
Heavier loads also feature: 22 carriers in that FMCSA census haul machinery and large objects, 20 carry metal sheets, coils and rolls, and 17 move motor vehicles. Lowboys, step-decks and car haulers each come with their own paperwork, so keep trailer titles separate from the tractor title when you write to us.
Most outfits here are small, according to FMCSA records: one carrier fields 12 power units and 19 drivers, another 4 power units with a single driver, and a third 3 units with 3 drivers. A one-truck owner-operator sells to us the same way a twelve-truck fleet does, unit by unit, each with its own title.
Miles, new authorities and low clearances
Fourteen Harker Heights carriers reported mileage to FMCSA, and the median among them works out to 62,667 miles per truck each year. Write the current odometer reading on the first message you send; with that and the VIN we can ask the right follow-up questions.
New authorities keep appearing in the FMCSA carrier census, which recorded 10 carriers starting here in 2024 and 11 in 2025. If you registered recently and are selling a single tractor, have the registration and the authority paperwork to hand alongside the title.
Across the 17 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists for the city, none is load-posted and none clears under 14 feet. That means a tall tractor-trailer can usually be driven or towed to a collection point in town without a detour around a restricted span.
Job sites in town, corn and cattle beyond it
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 7,665 jobs in Harker Heights, 443 of them in construction and 64 in manufacturing. The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 36 construction establishments here, so water trucks, dump trucks and service bodies off job sites are all trucks we take; send photos of the body as well as the chassis.
Bell County holds 2,330 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, cattle and wheat at the top of the list. Grain trucks and cattle haulers kept on a farm outside town can be collected from the farm itself; tell us how the truck is reached from the road and whether a gate needs opening.
The questions we get asked in Harker Heights

- The Texas title for my Harker Heights truck is missing - where do I get another?Texas titles come from the state’s title agency, so a duplicate is requested there in the name already on record.
