Sell your semi truck for cash in LaCoste the easy and convenient way

Medina River Sand & Gravel lies 8.2 miles east of LaCoste, and the Bigfoot Mine, another sand and gravel operation, is 14.5 miles south; the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists both. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that have worked those pits can be collected from the yard where they stand, so send us the street address and a photo of the bed raised and lowered.

Out to the north-west, Medina Quarry and Rio Medina Operations are crushed-stone quarries about 15.7 and 15.8 miles from LaCoste, according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your truck hauled rock from either one, tell us the axle setup and the body length up front, and keep the registration in the cab for the day we arrive.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists Arepet Industries, a mineral processing plant 14.4 miles east. A tractor that ran between that plant and the pits closer to LaCoste is one we would look at; a clear VIN photo and the title in hand are the two things that move the conversation along.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the San Antonio Intermodal Terminal yard 9.9 miles east of LaCoste and the South San Antonio yard 15.5 miles out in the same direction. Day cabs that shuttled containers off those tracks are part of what we buy, and the truck can stay wherever it is parked.

The SAIT ramp, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records as a rail intermodal ramp, is 10.4 miles east. If your chassis or tractor is sitting in a lot near that ramp rather than at your house in LaCoste, give us the gate contact and the lot hours so the pickup can be planned with whoever controls access.

All 23 of the active LaCoste carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census hold intrastate authority alone, and not one is set up to cross the state line. That census also shows five private fleets among them, hauling their own goods. A truck from a Texas-only operation can be sold here without any out-of-state paperwork to chase down.

General freight is the cargo most often listed, by 12 of those carriers, followed by grain, feed and hay at 8, farm supplies at 6 and dry bulk commodities at 3, per the same federal census. Hopper trailers, flatbeds and the tractors that pull them fit what we take; list the trailer type with the tractor when you contact us.

A LaCoste operator rarely has more than a handful of rigs. The three biggest in the FMCSA register have four, three and two power units, with one or two drivers each. If you are an owner-operator with a single tractor, you are typical for LaCoste, and the sale works the same way for one truck as for four.

On FMCSA’s carrier census, 22 local carriers keep drivers inside a hundred-mile circle and 12 report trips past it; some report both. Most of these trucks spend their nights near LaCoste, which is where we would expect to find yours.

Five carriers filed annual mileage with FMCSA, and their median comes to 12,500 miles per truck. Have the current odometer reading ready along with the VIN; those two figures are the first things we ask for.

Around LaCoste, the farmland of Medina County holds 2,204 farms, with cattle, corn and cotton as the leading products, as reported in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Cattle pots, grain trucks and farm tractors with a road title are all trucks we will consider, parked in a barn lot or a pasture gate.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 4 construction establishments in the county’s figures for this area. A dump truck or flatbed from a building outfit near LaCoste goes through the same steps as a farm truck: photos of every side, the title, and the location.

Duplicate titles for LaCoste owners come from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and its county tax assessor-collector offices are the counters that hand them over. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles lists the Medina County Tax Office at 1502 Avenue M in Hondo, about 20.1 miles from LaCoste, as the office for this county. Ask that Hondo counter for a certified copy, then tell us it is on the way so the pickup at LaCoste can be lined up behind it.

A title in a former business name or with a lienholder still on it should be sorted at that Hondo counter too. Bring the registration and your ID, and tell us which situation you are in so we know what paperwork to expect.

• Will you collect a dump truck still sitting at the Medina River Sand & Gravel pit?Medina River Sand & Gravel, 8.2 miles east of LaCoste in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, is the sort of site we collect from. Give us the pit name, the gate contact and where the truck is parked inside.
• My title went missing years ago; is Hondo the place to fix that before you collect the truck from LaCoste?The Medina County Tax Office at 1502 Avenue M in Hondo, 20.1 miles from LaCoste, issues title copies for the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. Request the copy there and send us a photo once you have it.
• Is a truck with only Texas intrastate authority a problem for a LaCoste sale?All 23 active carriers in LaCoste on FMCSA’s carrier census are intrastate, so a Texas-only truck is the usual case here. Include the trailer type you pulled within the state when you write to us.
