Quarry country above Lopezville
La Havana Pit and the stone loads around Lopezville
La Havana Pit, a crushed-stone quarry listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 3.9 miles north of Lopezville. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls from a pit that close often spends its nights in a yard in town, so give us that yard’s address and we will collect it from there.
Further up the same road, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Portable Crusher #2 about 15.1 miles north. If your truck moved stone between both sites, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, plus the VIN, and mention which operation it worked for most.
Pits on the Lopezville west side
Two sand and gravel operations sit west of Lopezville on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list: Texan Pit at 7.9 miles and Tabasco Pit at 17.8 miles. Owners of gravel haulers working that stretch can sell without driving the truck back east; tell us which pit it sits nearest and who can let us in.
Have the title in your name and the current registration ready before we arrive at a pit-side lot. Service records, if you kept them, help us understand what the truck has done on those western runs, though they are not required.
Donna intermodal, six miles out
Lopezville tractors on the Rio Valley container run
Six miles south-east of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Donna, TX - Rio Valley rail intermodal ramp. Day cabs and sleepers that pull containers from that ramp are trucks we buy, along with the chassis if you own it.
Should your tractor be parked near the Donna ramp rather than at home in Lopezville, send us that location. A clear photo of the odometer and the door sticker with the VIN lets us start without anyone meeting you at the rail yard.
Lopezville fuel haulers and the EDINBURG tanks
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named EDINBURG roughly 9.3 miles north of Lopezville. Tank trucks and tractors pulling fuel trailers from that terminal belong on the list of what we purchase.
With a tanker, tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale and send the tank’s inspection paperwork if you have it. Photos of the tank, the valves and the cab, taken in daylight, give us what we need to talk about your truck.
Cotton, corn and cattle trucks around Lopezville
Around Lopezville the farm trucks haul cotton, corn and cattle; USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,045 farms across Hidalgo County and lists those three as its top products. Grain trucks, module haulers and cattle pots that work those fields are ones we take.
Around Lopezville a cotton or cattle truck may sit out the off-season in a barn lot rather than a yard. Tell us the farm road and the gate it sits behind, and have the title ready even if the truck carries farm plates.
A Lopezville owner without the title in hand
For a Lopezville seller, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles routes a certified title copy through the county tax assessor-collector offices, which in this part of the Valley means the Hidalgo County office. If the title for your truck is missing, start that request before you contact us so the paperwork is moving while we look at the truck.
When a lender’s lien still shows on the record, ask the lender for its release and keep it with the title. Bring both when we come to Lopezville, along with a photo ID that matches the name on the title.
