Seven Points gravel
Aggregate hauling south of Mabank
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 2229 Seven Points, a sand and gravel operation 10.1 miles south-west of Mabank. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has shuttled loads out of that pit can be collected wherever it is parked between runs, so give us the street address or the gate it sits behind when you first reach out.
King Sand & Gravel lies 15.5 miles south of town in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listings, and Patriot Mining and Materials, an industrial-mineral mine, is 16.1 miles to the south-west. If the truck stays on a pit lot, name the person who can let a driver in, and have the title and current registration in the cab or in your hands on collection day.
Freight lines in town
General freight, lumber and heavy equipment
Of the 100 active carriers on FMCSA’s census for Mabank, 61 list general freight, 26 list machinery and large objects, 14 list farm supplies and 13 list logs, poles, beams or lumber. A lowboy tractor, a flatbed rig or a box truck from any of those lines is something we buy, and the VIN plus a set of clear photos lets us start the conversation.
Seventy of those carriers run intrastate only and 27 are authorised for interstate work, with 42 operating as private fleets that haul their own goods, FMCSA’s carrier census shows. Whichever group you belong to, keep your USDOT number handy; it ties the truck to the operation that has been running it.
Power units on record
From one-tractor outfits to an eighteen-unit operation
On FMCSA’s register, Mabank’s top operation fields 18 power units for 17 drivers, another keeps 11 units with a single driver, and a third pairs 10 units with 10 drivers. An owner retiring several units at once can list each VIN together, and we will arrange collection of the group from the yard where they stand.
According to the same federal census, 33 carriers here reported annual mileage, and their median comes to 34,843 miles per truck. Have the odometer reading on hand alongside the title, since it is one of the first numbers we ask for.
Eleven fresh carrier registrations appeared in Mabank during 2024 and seven more in 2025, per FMCSA. If you started recently and are now selling a tractor bought for that venture, keep the bill of sale and title transfer papers from your purchase with it.
The age of trucks inspected around town
Between September 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 61 trucks belonging to Mabank outfits, and FMCSA roadside inspection records place their median build year at 2015. Those same FMCSA inspection records show just over 49 percent of the inspected units were ten or more years old.
A 2015 tractor or an older one is equally welcome here. Photograph the data plate on the door jamb along with the cab, frame and tires, and keep any inspection reports from those roadside stops; they help us match the truck to its paperwork.
Wholesale, plants and builders
Jobs, builders and ranch country
Wholesale trade accounts for 309 of Mabank’s 2,880 jobs in 2023, ahead of manufacturing at 248 and construction at 120, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Delivery straight trucks and tractors serving those warehouses and plants can be picked up at the business lot during working hours if you tell us when the gate is open.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau count 21 construction establishments for the area. A contractor selling a dump truck or a crew-hauling flatbed should send the registration and a few photos of the bed or body along with the chassis.
Cattle, horses and deer on Kaufman County land
Across Kaufman County, 2,478 farms raise mostly cattle, then horses and deer, in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and flatbeds used for hay all fit what we purchase.
A farm truck parked in a pasture or behind a barn can stay right there; send a pin or directions to the field gate and tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a carrier to reach it after rain.
The questions we get asked in Mabank
- Can my end-dump stay at the Seven Points sand and gravel pit until it is collected?2229 Seven Points is 10.1 miles south-west of Mabank in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listings, and we collect at the pit itself. Name whoever holds the pit gate key and we will set the visit with that person.
- Will you take Mabank private-fleet units that never carried for hire, and can I sell them all together?Mabank has 42 private fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census, and their trucks are bought the same way as for-hire units. Send the VIN, title and registration for each one.
- Does a 2015 tractor from a Mabank carrier still qualify?Roadside inspections recorded by FMCSA put the median model year of trucks from Mabank carriers at 2015, so that year is squarely typical here. Every model year is considered; send photos and the title.
