A & T, then North Pit
Sand and gravel trucks from A & T and North Pit
A & T Sand and Gravel lies 9.7 miles east of Liberty City, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine listings. A dump truck or tri-axle that has hauled loads off that operation is one we collect where it is kept, whether that is the pit lot or a driveway in town. Send the VIN, a photo of the bed and a note on which pit it served.
Farther out, North Pit and Plant sits 22.8 miles north-west of town in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. If your truck rotated between the two pits, tell us where it is parked today rather than where it last loaded, and give us a name of someone who can meet our driver at that spot.
Bulk loads off the south-west road to Troup
Troup Plant, a mineral processing plant, is listed by MSHA at 24.7 miles south-west of Liberty City. Trucks that run product out of a plant like that are usually end dumps, belly dumps or tractors with bulk trailers, and every one of those is a truck we will look at.
Before you call, gather the title, the current Texas registration and any service log the shop kept. Photos of the cab, the frame rails and the trailer coupling help us read the truck the way you describe it, so we can talk about pickup instead of trading questions.
Two railroads, one town
Freight between Liberty City and two Longview railheads
Two rail yards sit east of here: Longview Yard on the Union Pacific at 12.5 miles and Longview Yard on BNSF at 13 miles, both shown on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs and drayage tractors that shuttle freight between those yards and local shippers are trucks we take on.
A tractor that spends its shifts parked near the Longview yards does not need to be driven back to Liberty City for us. Tell us which yard gate or lot it is on and who holds the keys, and the collection gets planned around that address.
Big Sandy fuel loads
Liberty City tank trucks on the Big Sandy run
Drive 14.9 miles north-west of Liberty City and you reach Big Sandy, a petroleum product terminal the Energy Information Administration lists on its terminal register. Tank trucks and tractors pulling fuel trailers that load at a terminal like Big Sandy fall within what we purchase.
If the tanker carried fuel, include any terminal or tank inspection paperwork you still have alongside the title. Missing paperwork is not a reason to hold off; just say what the truck hauled and which terminal it loaded from.
Plant floors and freight jobs around Liberty City
Of the 892 jobs counted in Liberty City in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), manufacturing held 121, a 13.6 percent share. Box trucks, flatbeds and straight trucks that move goods for local plants are the kind of equipment we buy from owners here.
Transportation and warehousing accounted for 58 of those 892 positions, or 6.5 percent, in the same LEHD release. An owner-operator or small fleet in that group can sell one unit or several; list each VIN and where each one is parked.
Stock haulers and hay flatbeds near Liberty City
Around Liberty City, cattle, equine and honey lead the farm list, with 403 farms in Gregg County reported by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Stock trucks, flatbeds that carry hay and pickups-and-trailer setups from those operations are trucks we collect from farms here.
A farm truck often sits in a barn or pasture rather than a paved lot. Tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck or rollback to reach it, and send a photo of the spot along with the title.
The Methvin Street tax office in Longview
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Liberty City that office is the Gregg County Tax Office at 100 E Methvin, Suite 110, Longview, 75601, about 12.2 miles away. If the title is lost, that office is where you apply for a certified copy.
Bring photo ID and the VIN when you visit the Methvin Street office, and keep the receipt for your application. Tell us the title is on order when you contact us, and we can line up the rest of the sale while the copy is printed.
