Hewitt trucks and the Waco Plant
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Waco Plant, a cement plant, 3.6 miles north-west of Hewitt. If your mixer, bulk tanker or dump truck has been loading there, it is probably parked within a few minutes of that gate, and we can collect it from the yard or your driveway.
Two sand and gravel operations show up in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings close by, one 6.1 miles north-east of town and the other 7.4 miles north-west. A tandem dump or end-dump trailer rig that has hauled from either pit is a truck we want to hear about; send the VIN, a photo of the bed and a picture of the data plate on the door jamb.
Farther out, Horseshoe Bend Sand Supply lies 15 miles north and Crawford Mine & Mill 15.8 miles west, both crushed-stone quarries on the Mine Safety and Health Administration register. A truck based at either quarry stays where it is; give us the site address and the name of whoever can let us through the gate.
Tankers near the Waco terminals and Bellmead yard
Two petroleum product terminals, both named WACO, sit 9.3 and 9.4 miles north-east of Hewitt according to the Energy Information Administration. Owners of a fuel tractor or a straight-truck tanker that loaded at those racks should have the cab card and any tank test paperwork together before we talk.
At 11.5 miles north-east, the Bellmead rail yard appears in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that shuttles freight to and from that yard can be picked up wherever it is parked between shifts, so tell us the street and the hours someone is there.
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 58 active carriers based in Hewitt, with 11 operating interstate, 47 operating intrastate and 23 running private fleets. If your authority is intrastate only, your Texas registration and the title are the two papers that matter most when you sell.
General freight is the most common cargo, listed by 35 of those carriers in the federal carrier census, followed by motor vehicles at 14, machinery and large objects at 13, and metal sheets, coils and rolls at 11. Car haulers, lowboys and flatbed tractors with coil racks all fit what we purchase, so name the trailer type when you call.
New registrations in town, per the FMCSA census, numbered 8 in 2025 and 5 in 2024. If you started a small outfit recently and are now selling a tractor, have the bill of sale from when you bought it alongside the Texas title.
Fleet sizes and yearly mileage in Hewitt
Hewitt’s three leading fleets, as FMCSA’s carrier census lists them, field 18, 13 and 4 power units against 8, 10 and 3 drivers. An owner letting go of several units from a fleet that size can list them together, and we will arrange to see them at one yard.
Half of the 15 Hewitt carriers reporting annual mileage to FMCSA put each truck above 30,000 miles and half below it. Write the current odometer reading on your message along with the VIN so we can look up the truck before we ask anything else.
Between 14 October 2024 and 10 August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records logged 36 trucks belonging to Hewitt carriers, and the middle model year among them was 2016. Those same roadside inspection records show roughly 47 percent of the inspected units were ten or more model years old.
Whatever the model year, a copy of your most recent inspection report helps us match the truck to its records. Keep any service invoices you hold in the same folder as the title.
Construction crews, cattle farms and open bridges near Hewitt
Of Hewitt’s 3,096 jobs in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 591 in construction, ahead of wholesale trade at 249, manufacturing at 148 and transportation and warehousing at 83. A contractor’s dump truck or flatbed parked at a job site can be collected there once you tell us who is on site.
In McLennan County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 3,140 farms, with cattle, corn and milk at the top of the list. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and milk tankers that work those farms can be picked up at the barn or the farm gate.
Hewitt has 26 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory kept by the Federal Highway Administration, none of them load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. That leaves our tow and lowboy a clear run to most addresses in town.
