Two LeTourneau yards up the road from the lake
A tractor that has shuttled loads to and from that yard may well be parked near it or back at a house on the shoreline; either spot works, so give us the exact address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
LeTourneau South, a second yard on the North American Rail Network, lies 5.6 miles to the north-west. If your truck shuttles between these two yards, send the VIN, the odometer reading and four or five clear photos of the cab, frame and tires, so we can talk about that truck before anyone heads out to see it.
A & T Sand and Gravel, north-west of the lake
According to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, A & T Sand and Gravel operates 9.3 miles north-west of Lake Cherokee. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that load at a pit like this one are trucks we buy, and a pit-side lot is a fine place for us to collect one, provided someone can let us through the gate.
When a truck has run aggregate out of that operation, tell us the body type, the axle setup and whether the bed or trailer comes with it. Keep the title and current registration together with any service records, since those papers answer most of what we will ask about a gravel hauler.
Construction trades
If you are one of those builders and are selling a single unit out of a working fleet, tell us how many trucks you run and which one is going. Have the title in the company’s name ready, along with the registration, so the paperwork matches the business that owns the truck.
Cattle, foliage and potted plants
Rusk County counted 1,309 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle head its list of top products, followed by foliage plants and potted flowering plants. That mix puts livestock haulers, straight trucks with box bodies and reefer units on the county’s back roads.
A cattle truck kept on pasture outside Lake Cherokee can be collected right from the farm. Tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale, and for a nursery box truck or reefer, mention the body and the refrigeration unit so we know exactly what we are picking up.
Trucks stopped near Lake Cherokee and the bridges they cross
FMCSA roadside inspection records list 54 trucks inspected around here between September 17, 2024 and August 13, 2026, with a median model year halfway between 2017 and 2018 and about 44 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whatever year your truck is, include it with the make and model when you first reach us.
None of the 9 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists near Lake Cherokee carries a posted load limit, and none has clearance under 14 feet. Tell us whether the truck sits on pavement, a gravel lane or open pasture, and whether a tow rig has room to turn around beside it.
If the original has gone missing, the state’s title agency handles a replacement; start that request before we schedule the pickup.
Put the title, the current registration and any inspection or maintenance records in one folder in the cab. Add a note with the address where the truck is parked near Lake Cherokee, so our driver arrives at the right gate.
