Aggregate haulers on the road south to the pits
Crushed stone comes out of the Marble Falls Quarry, which sits 13.4 miles south of Lampasas in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor has been loading aggregate there, tell us which pit it worked when you first get in touch, and send a photo of the bed along with the cab and the VIN plate.
Another 17.1 miles south, the Burnet Screening Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings as a crushed-stone site too. A truck that runs between those two plants and the county roads back to Lampasas is often parked at a yard rather than a house, so give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Heartland Quarries Pit # 2, a dimension-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 24.5 miles to the south-east, ships cut block instead of gravel. Flatbeds and lowboys that carried that block can be collected from the quarry lot itself if the operator allows it, so ask them first and pass us a contact name.
Freight east toward the Fort Hood yard
On the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Fort Hood rail yard lies 19.8 miles east of Lampasas. Tractors that have shuttled loads to and from that yard can stay wherever they are parked between runs; we arrange collection at that spot.
General freight is the cargo most local carriers list, 41 of them on FMCSA’s carrier census, and machinery or large objects follows at 28. If your tractor pulled a step deck or lowboy for that kind of work, say so and mention whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you.
Cattle, horses, sheep and the hay that feeds them
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,076 farms in Lampasas County, with cattle, equine and sheep as the leading products. Livestock haulers and feed trucks from those ranches are usually kept at the barn, so a pin on a map or written directions down the ranch road is the most useful thing you can send us.
Farm supplies are hauled by 24 carriers here and grain, feed or hay by 20, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Check whose name is on a ranch truck’s title before we schedule anything; the person or ranch named there signs the transfer.
Small fleets that mostly stay inside Texas
Of the 78 active carriers based in Lampasas on FMCSA’s carrier census, 72 are listed as intrastate and 6 as interstate, while 44 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck that never left Texas will carry Texas registration only, which keeps the paperwork short: the title, the current registration and a photo ID.
FMCSA’s carrier census also shows the three biggest local fleets at 23, 14 and 8 power units, with 11, 8 and 6 drivers respectively. If you are selling more than one truck from a fleet of that size, list every VIN in one message so the whole group is handled together.
Carriers here report 122 drivers working within 100 miles and 80 working beyond it, by FMCSA’s carrier census. For 23 of those carriers the median comes to 12,357 miles per truck in a year, a figure from the same census; have your own odometer reading ready when you contact us.
Build years on trucks checked along Lampasas County highways
Lampasas carriers had 46 trucks pulled in for roadside checks from October 2024 through August 2026, and the median model year among them was 2009.5, per FMCSA roadside inspection records. We buy trucks of every model year, so state yours plainly along with the make, model and engine.
Just under seven in ten of those inspected Lampasas trucks, 69.6 percent by FMCSA roadside inspection records, were built ten or more model years back. If your truck has inspection reports or service invoices in the cab, photograph them; they help us confirm the truck’s details before collection.
Construction and manufacturing jobs around town
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 record 2,899 jobs in Lampasas, with manufacturing at 554, or 19.1 percent, and construction at 448, or 15.5 percent. Trucks working for those employers include flatbeds, dumps and box trucks that may be titled to a business rather than a person, so have the business officer who can sign ready.
Builders account for 73 business establishments around Lampasas in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s truck is often left at a job site or the contractor’s shop; tell us which, and whether a loader or anyone on site can help with access.
If the title for one of these trucks has gone missing, request a replacement from the state before you contact us, so it is in hand when the truck is collected.
