Kilns and pits

Cement, gravel and stone around Lorena

Seven-point-one miles north of Lorena, the Waco Plant turns out cement under a Mine Safety and Health Administration listing. The Mine Safety and Health Administration also puts Loredo’s Excavation & Hauling LLC’s sand and gravel operation 10.5 miles to the north-east, and ASA Plant 1588 10.8 miles east. If your dump truck or mixer spent its days between those sites, it may still be parked at one of them; give us the yard address and the name of whoever can let us through the gate.

Further out, Dippel Quarry sits 17.1 miles west and Crawford Mine & Mill 17.2 miles north-west, both crushed-stone quarries on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. A tri-axle or end-dump that hauled aggregate from the west side of the county can be collected where it stands. Photograph the bed, the frame and the door plate with the VIN before you call, and keep the registration close by.

Tankers to the WACO terminals, boxcars at BELLMEAD

Two petroleum product terminals listed as WACO appear in Energy Information Administration records at 13.7 and 13.9 miles north-east of town. Tankers and fuel haulers that loaded there count among the trucks we purchase; tell us the tank’s capacity and compartment count, and send any inspection certificates the tank carries.

Sixteen miles out in the same direction, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the BELLMEAD rail yard. A day cab that shuttled loads off that yard is still a day cab we can pick up at the shipper’s lot or the driver’s driveway. Have the title, the current registration and the odometer reading ready when you reach out.

General freight, lowboy loads and hay out of Lorena

Twenty-nine of Lorena’s 61 active carriers carry general freight, by FMCSA’s carrier census. In that FMCSA count, sixteen haul machinery and large objects, 13 carry farm supplies and 11 move grain, feed or hay. Lowboys, flatbeds, grain trailers’ tractors and box trucks all fit what we buy, so tell us what the unit hauled and what it is hitched to.

Forty-four of those carriers run intrastate only and 17 cross state lines, according to the same federal census, while 28 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A contractor who keeps a truck for its own jobs can sell it the same way a for-hire operator does: title in the owner’s name, a valid registration, and photos of the cab and chassis.

New registrations picked up recently, with FMCSA recording nine new Lorena carriers in 2025 against four in 2024. An operator who started out last year and is now stepping back can still sell; the truck’s title and the registration you filed with the state are what we need to see.

Of the drivers on Lorena carriers’ filings, 83 work within 100 miles of base and 268 work beyond that radius, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. For Lorena-based trucks, that means your tractor might be parked at home or out on a run when you first get in touch; tell us where it will be on the day it is free and we plan collection around that spot.

Lorena trucks log a median 22,382 miles a year across the 16 carriers that gave FMCSA a mileage figure. Read the odometer and send a photo of it with the rest of your pictures; it is a figure we ask for on every truck, nothing more.

One Lorena fleet runs 277 power units and 200 drivers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and two more run 11 and 5 units. Sellers with one tractor and sellers with several are handled the same way: one title per truck, signed by the name printed on it, plus a photo set for each unit.

A workforce built on construction

In Lorena, 610 of 1,394 jobs, or 43.8 percent, sit in construction, going by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Wholesale trade adds 88 more in the same LEHD figures, a 6.3 percent share. Dump trucks, water trucks, boom trucks and flatbeds that served building sites around town all belong on our list; tell us the body type and its make along with the chassis.

If a construction truck is sitting on a job site rather than at your shop, we can collect from the site as long as someone can confirm access. Send the address, the gate hours and a contact name, along with the title and registration.

Farm hauling across the county

McLennan County held 3,140 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and milk at the top of its output. Cattle pots, grain hoppers’ tractors, feed trucks and milk tankers that worked those farms are trucks we buy, from the ranch gate or the barn lot.

Farm trucks often sit in a shed between seasons. If yours is parked on a ranch outside Lorena, give us directions to the barn, the name on the title and the registration, and a few clear photos taken in daylight.

Tax assessor-collector counters and the roads into Lorena

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues certified copies of titles, and applications are handled through the county tax assessor-collector offices. If you cannot find the title for a truck kept around Lorena, start the replacement there before you sell.

Of the 23 bridges counted near town in the National Bridge Inventory, one is load-posted and none clears under fourteen feet. Give us the address where the truck is parked and the road you use to reach it.

The questions we get asked in Lorena

  • Our end-dump sits at a sand pit east of Lorena - will you pick it up from the pit?Loredo’s Excavation & Hauling LLC’s sand and gravel operation sits 10.5 miles north-east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and pits like it are places we collect from. Pass along the pit’s address and the name of whoever holds the gate key there.
  • Our Lorena truck’s title has gone missing - which office replaces it?The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles certified title copies through the county tax assessor-collector offices, so a Lorena owner applies through McLennan County’s office. Start that before arranging the sale.
  • My Lorena company hauls only its own equipment with a few tractors - is one of those eligible?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 28 private fleets among Lorena’s 61 active carriers, and their trucks sell the same way as for-hire units. Have the title in the fleet owner’s name and the registration on hand.
