Pits to the north
Records kept by the Mine Safety and Health Administration place the Denton Pits, an industrial-mineral mine, 7.8 miles north-west of Lake Dallas, with the Denton Sand Farm 9.3 miles north. If your dump truck or tractor spends its days on those haul roads, it may still be parked at a pit when you call. Tell us which one, and who on site can let a driver through the gate.
B & B Sand & Gravel sits 11.8 miles north of town, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A truck loading aggregate there can be collected on site or from your yard in Lake Dallas, whichever suits you. Have the title and the current registration in hand, and photos of the body, the cab and the plate before we arrange the pickup.
Southlake terminals and the Carrollton yards
Twelve miles south, the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Southlake, and a second one 15.5 miles to the south-west. A tractor that pulls fuel out of those terminals can be sold from wherever it sits between loads. Give us the VIN, the address where it is parked and the name of anyone who has to approve access.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows two rail yards at Carrollton, 13.6 and 13.7 miles south-east. West of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Alliance intermodal ramp 20.8 miles away. If your day cab shuttles containers or rail freight to those yards, send a few photos of the frame and fifth wheel along with the cab so we see the whole tractor.
A Texas-only hauler and an interstate one sell to us the same way; we just need the title, the registration and the truck’s location.
General freight is the cargo listed by 29 of those carriers in the federal carrier census, with machinery and large objects on 10, household goods on 9, and logs, poles, beams and lumber on 6. A moving van, a lowboy tractor or a log truck from here is the kind of unit we collect. Mention the body or trailer that goes with it, since that shapes how we plan the pickup.
If you started out recently and are selling one truck, the paperwork is the same as for a long-standing operator: title in your name or your company’s, and a way to reach the truck.
The biggest fleet on the FMCSA register in Lake Dallas runs 74 power units with 37 drivers, followed by fleets of 17 and of 10 power units. Whether you are letting go of one tractor or several, list each VIN and where each one is parked, and we can collect them in a single visit or one at a time.
Write the odometer reading down when you send photos, so the figure we work from is the one on your dash.
Of the 1,614 jobs in Lake Dallas in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 309 in construction, 153 in transportation and warehousing and 91 in manufacturing. Contractors selling a dump truck, a flatbed or a service truck from a job site can leave it there for collection; just tell us the site address and the hours someone is around.
Denton County had 2,936 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with equine, wheat and sorghum at the top of its list. A grain truck or a horse hauler parked on a farm outside Lake Dallas is collected from the farm itself. Send directions to the barn or shed, and keep the title with the truck so it changes hands on the day.
