Pits east and west
Sand, gravel and stone on both sides of La Homa
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Texan Pit, a sand and gravel operation 5.1 miles east of La Homa, and Tabasco Pit, another 5.2 miles to the west. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either one is likely parked within a few miles of town, so give us the yard address and the gate hours when you first get in touch.
West along the same line, MOBILE CRUSHER #3 FRONTERA MATERIALS is a crushed-stone quarry 7.9 miles out, and La Havana Pit, also crushed stone, sits 12.1 miles east, both per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck hauls aggregate between these quarries, send photos of the bed, the frame and the cab along with the VIN, and note which pit it works from so pickup can be planned for that spot.
Fourteen point nine miles to the north-east, the Energy Information Administration places the EDINBURG petroleum product terminal. Tractors that pull fuel tankers out of a terminal like that often sit at a contractor’s lot between loads; tell us whose lot the truck is on and who can let us in, and the collection is arranged with them directly.
Containers move through Donna, TX - Rio Valley, a rail intermodal ramp that the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 17.9 miles east of La Homa. A day cab or sleeper that drays boxes to and from that ramp can be collected where it stands, whether that is in Donna or back home, so share the location and a working phone number for whoever holds the keys.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,045 farms in Hidalgo County, with cotton, corn and cattle as the top products. Grain trucks, module haulers, cattle-pot tractors and flatbeds from those operations are all trucks we purchase, and a farm truck parked out in a field or behind a barn is fine; describe how to reach it.
Farm trucks are often registered under a ranch or family name rather than the person selling. Before we talk, check whose name is printed on the title and the registration, and if it is a partnership or an estate, have the signer available, since that one detail settles most of the paperwork at collection.
What the roadside inspections show around La Homa
Across 973 trucks inspected near La Homa between 2024-08-31 and 2026-08-26, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2016. Have the year, make and model ready from the title before you call, along with the VIN plate photo, so the conversation starts from the truck itself.
Whatever the year on yours, any service records, inspection reports or receipts you have kept help us understand its history, and if you have none, tell us what work the truck did and we will ask about the rest.
Construction firms and jobs near La Homa
Dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds that work for builders here may be titled to a business; if so, bring proof that you are able to sign for that company when the truck is collected.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) show 482 jobs located in La Homa in 2023. If you work locally and the truck stays at your house or a shop in town, we come to that address; the truck does not have to move before the sale is done.
A clean title in your name is the main document a sale needs. If the title for a truck kept in Hidalgo County has gone missing, apply for a replacement through the state’s title agency before pickup, and keep the receipt to show us that the request is under way.
Along with the title, gather the current registration, any lien release if the truck was financed, and clear photos of every side. Send those together with the address in or around La Homa where the truck is parked, and we can set a collection time that suits whoever is on site.
