Aggregate up the road

Dump trucks that load north of the lake

Denton Pits, carried by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as an industrial-mineral mine, lies 7.9 miles north-west, toward Denton. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads there will often be parked at a yard between the pit and town, so give us that address rather than your home address when you get in touch.

North of town, Denton Sand Farm sits 10.7 miles out and B & B Sand & Gravel 13.1 miles out, both carried as sand and gravel operations in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck hauls aggregate from either one, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together, plus the VIN plate, and say which operation it worked from.

Tank gates and rail spurs

Tankers south, container yards south-east

Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration records south of here: SOUTHLAKE at 10.7 miles due south and SOUTHLAKE TX at 14.2 miles to the south-west. Fuel tractors and tank trailers based near those gates can be collected where they sit; tell us whether a terminal pass or escort is needed to reach the lot.

To the south-east, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows two Carrollton rail yards, at 13 and 13.1 miles. West of town, Alliance, TX is a rail intermodal ramp 19.6 miles away according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that pulls containers between those yards should come with its registration and any service records in one folder, ready to hand over at pickup.

Registered in town

General freight leads the local census

Hickory Creek has 18 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and the cargo line marked most often among them, on 13, is general freight. In that same FMCSA census, machinery and large objects and paper products are each carried by 3 of those carriers, with refrigerated food listed by 2. A box truck, reefer or flatbed from any of those lines is a truck we buy; tell us which cargo it hauled so we know what equipment to expect.

Ten of them stay inside Texas, six hold interstate authority and three haul only their own goods as private fleets, going by that FMCSA census. A private-fleet truck may be titled to the business rather than a person, so have the name on the title and someone authorised to sign for the company before we schedule the collection.

Fleets on the census

Selling from a fleet of five to twelve

FMCSA’s carrier census puts the three biggest local fleets at 12 power units with 12 drivers, 9 power units with 9 drivers, and 5 power units with 7 drivers. Selling several units from a fleet that size works as one job: list each VIN, where each truck is parked, and who holds the keys.

New registrations in town stayed small, with 2 carriers added in 2024 and 1 in 2025 under FMCSA’s census. An owner-operator who started recently and is now selling should have the title, the current registration and the cab card together, since those three documents are what we check first.

Inspection lane years

Model years logged at the scales

Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covered 96 trucks tied to Hickory Creek carriers between September 2024 and August 2026. Those inspection records put the median model year at 2014, with 68.75% of the trucks ten or more years old.

Whatever the year on your truck, the steps are the same: photos of all four sides and the dash, the odometer reading, the VIN, and the title in your name. Send those and we can talk about the truck as it actually is.

Contractors and growers

Job sites, horse farms and wheat ground

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 49 construction establishments for Hickory Creek, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 663 jobs located here in 2023. Contractors who keep a dump truck, a flatbed or a water truck at a job site can leave it there; give us the site address and a gate contact.

Across Denton County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 2,936 farms, with equine, wheat and sorghum as the leading operations. A grain truck or a stock hauler parked on a farm outside town is collected at the farm, so tell us the road access and whether the gate locks.

The questions we get asked in Hickory Creek

  • Is a dump truck parked in the Denton Sand Farm yard collected there, or do I bring it home first?Denton Sand Farm is 10.7 miles north of town in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and we collect from yards like that one. Pass along the yard’s street address plus a name at the sand farm who can let the driver in.
  • Our tractor is on the company’s private-fleet title; whose signature goes on the transfer?Three of the 18 Hickory Creek carriers in FMCSA’s census are private fleets, and their trucks are often titled to the business. The person authorised to sign for the business signs the title, so have their name ready when you contact us.
  • Which details should a tanker driver based at the Southlake terminal send over to start?The Energy Information Administration lists the SOUTHLAKE terminal 10.7 miles south of town; for a tractor working there, send the VIN, the odometer reading, photos of the cab and the tank, and the location where the rig is parked.
