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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the FM 1283 crushed-stone quarry 6.4 miles south-east of Lakehills and the Rio Medina quarry 7.5 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either one is often left at the pit gate or in a yard near it, so tell us which quarry and whether we need someone on site to let us in.

Rock haulers that cycle between those two pits and job sites around Lakehills should come to us with the title, the current Texas registration and a few clear photos of the bed, cab and data plate. Send the VIN first, then the location of the pit road you use.

If the quarry is the only place the truck is kept, an address or a pin dropped at the entrance is enough for us to plan the collection around the site’s working hours.

Bandera Pit, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, lies 11.5 miles north-west of town, while the Bedrock Plant sits 20.9 miles north. Tandem dumps and belly-dump trailers serving those sites tend to stay parked near the plant between loads, and we collect from a plant yard just as readily as from a driveway.

Farther north, Stone Source is a dimension-stone quarry 23.6 miles from town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Flatbeds that carry cut slabs out of a dimension-stone quarry usually come with straps, chains and racks; list what goes with the truck and what stays behind so the paperwork matches what leaves.

Whichever pit your truck works, the signed Texas title is the one document that cannot be skipped, and any inspection reports or service records you kept round out the picture.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 47 active carriers based in Lakehills, and 42 of them run intrastate only against 5 that cross state lines. For a Texas-only truck that means the Texas title and registration are the records we ask about first, with no federal operating paperwork needed to hand it over.

Of those carriers, 18 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, as recorded in that same FMCSA census. A contractor or rancher selling one truck from a private fleet can sell it in the business name on the title; just have whoever signs for the business ready with authority to do so.

Fleet sizes here stay small: the federal carrier census lists the three biggest Lakehills operations at 19, 4 and 4 power units. If you run one of the bigger ones and want to sell several units, send the VINs as a list and tell us whether the trucks sit in one yard or several.

General freight is the most common cargo listed in FMCSA’s census for Lakehills carriers, at 19 of them, with machinery and large objects at 12. Box trucks and tractors on general freight, and lowboys or step-decks moving equipment, both fit what we buy; tell us the body or trailer type up front.

Five local carriers report commodities dry bulk and four report logs, poles, beams and lumber, per FMCSA’s carrier census. A pneumatic hopper rig or a log truck with a loader on board should come with any records for that equipment as well as the chassis.

New entrants keep appearing: the carrier census logs 4 new Lakehills carriers registered in 2024 and 3 in 2025. If you started recently and are now selling, a title still held by a lender needs the lienholder’s release, so contact the lender before we schedule the pickup.

Among 12 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median truck in Lakehills covers 31,000 miles a year. Note the odometer reading when you contact us and photograph the dash with the ignition on, so the figure we see is the one on the title paperwork.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 46 local drivers working within 100 miles of base and 28 going beyond it. A truck that ranges past that radius may be parked away from Lakehills when you sell, and we pick up wherever it sits; give us that address rather than your home one.

Joint Base San Antonio, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 24.8 miles east, is a gated installation; if your truck is on or near a base lot, tell us so the right access is arranged before collection.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 723 farms in Bandera County, with cattle, goats and horses as the leading operations. Stock trucks, feed haulers and gooseneck rigs off those ranches are often parked in a barn or pasture, so describe the gate and the ground when you contact us.

Builders around Lakehills and Bandera add up to 34 construction establishments countywide in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, alongside those 723 ranches. Contractors’ dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies come up for sale between jobs; have the title, registration and any maintenance log in one folder and we can move from photos to pickup without chasing documents.

If the title has gone missing, start the replacement with the state’s title agency before we collect, and keep the receipt with the truck’s other papers.

• Can you collect a Lakehills dump truck left beside a crushed-stone pit gate?The FM 1283 crushed-stone quarry is 6.4 miles south-east of Lakehills on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from it directly. Tell us who can open the gate and when the pit is working.
• Will you take a goat or cattle hauler from a Bandera County ranch?Bandera County has 723 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, goats and horses, and stock trailers and the tractors that pull them are part of what we buy. Send the VIN, the title and photos from the ranch.
• What papers does a Lakehills intrastate-only rig need to change hands?Most Lakehills operators are intrastate, 42 of 47 in FMCSA’s carrier census, and for those the signed Texas title and current registration are what we need. Add any service records you have.
