Day cabs from the Alliance intermodal ramp
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Alliance rail intermodal ramp 6 miles south of Justin, and the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the ALLIANCE rail yard 6.1 miles to the south-west. A day cab that shuttles boxes off that ramp is a tractor we collect. Send the VIN, the odometer reading and the current registration before anything else.
If your tractor is still parked in a lot near the Alliance yard, leave it there. Give us the lot address and the name of whoever controls the gate, and the pickup is planned around their hours rather than yours.
Dump trucks for the pits west of town
Top-Way Materials, LLC runs a sand and gravel operation 11 miles west of Justin, and IMAGE MATERIALS works another 12.4 miles west, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A tandem dump or an end-dump trailer that hauled from either site fits what we purchase; photograph the bed, the tailgate and the hoist along with the cab.
North-east of town, Denton Pits is an industrial-mineral mine 12.5 miles away on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If a truck from that site came with a site log or inspection sheet, put it in the folder with the title.
Of the 183 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census registers in Justin, 19 haul dry bulk commodities. Owners of those rigs should note the body type and capacity when they first contact us, so the questions that follow match the truck.
Vans, flatbeds and coil haulers in Justin
General freight leads the cargo list in FMCSA’s carrier census, with 119 Justin carriers carrying it. Dry van tractors and box trucks from that work need a clear Texas title in the seller’s name, plus the cab card if the truck ran interstate.
Machinery and large objects show up for 27 local carriers, and metal sheets, coils and rolls for 22, according to the same FMCSA census. Step-deck and flatbed setups with chains, binders and coil racks are welcome; list which securement gear stays with the trailer so the photos and the paperwork agree.
If the title is lost, request a replacement from Texas’s title agency before you contact us, so the title is not the last thing outstanding.
Justin carriers by route and fleet size
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 119 intrastate carriers in Justin against 64 interstate ones, along with 42 private fleets that haul their own goods. An intrastate truck registered only in Texas still sells the same way: title, registration and a few clear photos.
Driver records in that census put 353 drivers inside a 100-mile radius and 311 beyond it. A truck on long runs may be sitting at a yard in another state when you decide to sell; give us that address and we arrange collection there.
FMCSA records list 38, 26 and 14 power units for the three biggest operators based in Justin. If you are selling several units together, a simple list of VINs, unit numbers and where each one is parked lets us plan one visit instead of several.
Contractors, warehouse crews and horse, wheat and sorghum farms
Construction accounts for 143 of the 1,245 jobs located in Justin in 2023, about 11.5 percent, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, while transportation and warehousing holds 98 of them, or 7.9 percent. Contractors selling a dump truck, water truck or flatbed from that work can send its service records along with the title.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 2,936 farms in Denton County, with equine, wheat and sorghum as the top categories. Horse haulers, grain trucks and the tractors that pull hopper bottoms out of those operations are part of what we buy, wherever on the property they sit.
FMCSA’s census puts the median Justin truck at 44,000 miles a year, drawn from 52 local carriers that reported mileage. Read the odometer off the dash and photograph it; that figure is one of the first things we confirm.
Fuel and liquid bulk hauling south toward NG Saginaw
The Energy Information Administration lists the SAGINAW petroleum product terminal 14.9 miles south of Justin, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts Quality Transload Inc, a liquid bulk terminal, at the same distance. Tank tractors that load there are on our list; tell us which products the trailer carried and include its most recent tank inspection paperwork.
Both terminals sit near NG Saginaw, a military installation 15.8 miles south on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list. If the truck is parked behind a controlled gate down there, name the contact who can let us in when you first reach out.
The questions we get asked in Justin
- My day cab is parked near the Alliance yard. Does it have to be brought up to Justin?The Alliance ramp is 6 miles south of Justin by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ figures, and we collect from wherever the tractor is parked. Tell us the lot’s address and who holds the gate key there.
- My tandem dump hauled sand out of Top-Way Materials west of Justin. Do dump bodies from those pits qualify?Top-Way Materials and IMAGE MATERIALS, 11 and 12.4 miles west per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, both feed dump trucks, and we buy those. Include photos of the bed and hoist.
- I can’t find the Texas title for a tractor I keep in Justin, so who issues a new one?Justin’s trucks carry Texas titles, so a replacement comes from the state’s title agency. Begin that request, then contact us with the VIN.
- Our outfit has a handful of tractors registered in Justin. Would you handle every unit in a single transaction?FMCSA’s carrier census shows Justin’s largest fleets at 38, 26 and 14 power units, and buying several units in one sale suits us. Put each VIN beside the yard where that unit sits.
