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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 159 active carriers in Lockhart, and 144 of them are registered for intrastate work against 15 cleared to cross state lines. A tractor or straight truck that has stayed inside Texas will carry Texas registration, so have that card and the title together before you call us about it.

Of those 159 carriers, 52 run as private fleets moving their own goods rather than hauling for hire, per the same FMCSA census. If your truck belonged to a business like that, tell us whose name sits on the title so the paperwork at pickup matches the owner of record.

New registrations kept arriving: the federal carrier census shows 14 carriers added in 2024 and 13 more in 2025. A newer operation selling its first truck should send the VIN, the title and a few photos of the cab, the frame and the tires, and we will work from there.

General freight is the cargo listed by 81 Lockhart carriers in the FMCSA census, the leading entry, with machinery and large objects next at 32. A lowboy tractor or a day cab that pulled flatbeds of equipment fits what we collect; note the trailer type it ran with when you write to us.

Farm supplies appear on 24 carrier registrations here and logs, poles, beams and lumber on 22, according to the federal carrier census. Caldwell County held 1,329 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and sorghum at the top of the list. A feed or grain truck parked at a ranch gate can stay there; give us the road and a phone number for whoever holds the key.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Texas-Lehigh Cement Plant & Quarry 15.7 miles north-west of Lockhart and the Buda Quarry, a crushed-stone site, 17 miles out in the same direction. Dump trucks and mixers that cycle between those gates and job sites are trucks we pick up, wherever along that route they are parked now.

South-east of town, Rockpit is a crushed-stone quarry 21 miles away, and Garfield Sand & Gravel and the Texas Materials Garfield Plant both sit 22.6 miles off, per Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Should your truck still be at a pit yard, ask the site office whether a visitor needs an escort, and pass that on to us before the collection date.

Construction accounted for 228 of the town’s jobs in 2023 under the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 59 construction establishments. A contractor letting go of a dump truck or flatbed should gather the title, registration and any service records kept in the shop office.

The Energy Information Administration places the Mustang Ridge Fuels terminal 10.9 miles north of Lockhart and the Flint Hills Resources Bastrop terminal 22.4 miles to the north-east. Tank tractors that load at those racks are part of what we buy; have the title and the cab card ready, and tell us which rack the unit loaded at.

NG Bergstrom, a military installation 20.6 miles north listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, rounds out the sites in reach. Wherever between Lockhart and the Austin side the truck is sitting, send the address and we plan the visit around that spot.

Lockhart carriers in FMCSA’s census report 175 drivers who stay within 100 miles and 164 who go beyond it, an almost even split. A short-haul truck is likely parked at a yard in town, while a long-haul unit may be at a terminal elsewhere; either location works for collection.

The median truck put on 22,435 miles a year across the 42 local carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA. Write the current odometer reading in your first message along with the VIN, since those two numbers answer most of our early questions.

Outfits here range in size: the federal census shows the biggest local operation with 40 power units and 40 drivers, a second at 27 units with 13 drivers, and a third at 12 units with 7 drivers. A fleet selling several trucks at once can send one list of VINs and yard addresses.

Across 105 Lockhart-linked trucks stopped between August 2024 and August 2026, roadside inspection records kept by FMCSA show a median model year of 2015, and 55.2 percent were built at least ten years earlier. Whatever the model year on your title, include it with the make and model when you contact us.

Of the 63 bridges counted around Lockhart by the National Bridge Inventory, 3 carry posted load limits and none has clearance under 14 feet. Mention the street and the nearest crossing when you send your address, so the route to the truck is clear.

• My dump truck sits in a pit yard off the Buda Quarry road; must it be hauled down to Lockhart first?The Mine Safety and Health Administration puts the Buda Quarry 17 miles north-west of Lockhart, and we collect the truck where it sits. Tell us who runs the yard so the visit is cleared with them.
• I drove a feed truck for a Caldwell County cattle ranch; would you collect a rig like that?Caldwell County’s 1,329 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture list cattle first, and farm-supply haulers like yours are trucks we buy. Send the VIN, title and photos of the cab and frame.
• What should I have on hand before the pickup?Lockhart’s 144 intrastate carriers in FMCSA’s census mostly run Texas-registered trucks, so keep the title, the registration card and the keys together. Service records from the shop are welcome too.
