Dump trucks hauling from the gravel pits toward Hockley
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Eagle Sand & Gravel 17.6 miles east of Magnolia and the Hockley Plant 17.9 miles to the south. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has hauled aggregate from either one can be sold from the lot where it is parked; send us that address and a name for whoever holds the gate key.
Hockley Mine, an industrial-mineral operation, is 18.1 miles south of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register, and the Conroe Dryer Plant lies 22.4 miles east. If the truck worked those sites, keep its scale tickets or site passes with the title; they show what it carried alongside the photos you send.
Rail freight toward Lloyd
Down the road 22.8 miles south-east of Magnolia, the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places a yard called Lloyd. Day cabs that shuttle loads between that yard and shippers around Montgomery County fit what we buy, and a VIN plus a photo of the door sticker lets us start.
Should your tractor be parked near Lloyd while you live up in Magnolia, there is no need to move it north. Give us the yard or lot it sits in, and we arrange collection there with you or the person you name.
Haulers registered in this corner of Montgomery County
According to FMCSA’s carrier census, 479 active carriers list Magnolia as home, and 351 of them work intrastate against 124 crossing state lines. A Texas-only truck still needs its Texas title in the owner’s name; if that paper has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues the replacement, and it helps to apply for that before we schedule pickup.
Private fleets, which haul their own goods rather than freight for hire, account for 175 of the local carriers in the same federal census. A contractor’s own flatbed or tractor sells the same way as a for-hire unit: title, registration and a few clear photos of each side.
FMCSA’s carrier census records 58 Magnolia carriers registered new in 2025 and 28 in 2024. If your authority is young and the truck is the only one under it, tell us whether a lender still sits on the title so the release can be lined up.
Lumber, machinery and steel on local trailers
In FMCSA’s census, 298 Magnolia-based haulers take general freight and 111 carry machinery or other large objects. Lowboy tractors and heavy-spec day cabs that move equipment belong on our list; tell us the axle setup and whether a wet kit is fitted.
Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 87 local registrations, and metal sheets, coils and rolls on 74, in FMCSA’s carrier census. Log trucks, flatbeds with stake pockets and coil-rated tractors are all trucks we take, and photos of the deck and the frame rails tell us how yours is built.
Route length
Short hauls and long routes
Carriers here report 1,541 drivers working within 100 miles and 687 working beyond it, per FMCSA’s census. A local truck usually spends nights in a yard or driveway in town, so the address where it parks is the one we need; a long-haul sleeper may sit at a terminal instead, so say which.
A median of 31,204 miles per truck each year shows up for the 110 Magnolia outfits that filed annual mileage with FMCSA. Read the odometer off the dash on the day you contact us and include it with your photos.
The three sizable fleets on the federal census in Magnolia run 72, 41 and 35 power units. If you are selling several trucks from one yard, list each VIN together so a single visit can cover them.
Plants, sites, ranches
Manufacturing jobs and cattle country near Magnolia
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 4,476 jobs in Magnolia for 2023, of which 339 are in manufacturing and 127 in construction. Box trucks and flatbeds that deliver for a plant or a building site sell to us with the same paperwork as a highway tractor.
Montgomery County has 1,299 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and mushrooms at the top. A livestock hauler or a farm truck parked out on a ranch can be collected where it stands; send directions that a driver who has never been down that road could follow.
The questions we get asked in Magnolia
- My dump truck sits on a lot by the Hockley Plant rather than in Magnolia. Does the sale need the truck hauled back into town first?Hockley Plant sits 17.9 miles south of Magnolia on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from that area. Send the lot address and the name of the person who can let our driver in.
- My Texas title for a truck kept in Magnolia has gone missing. Where does a fresh copy come from?Magnolia is in Montgomery County, Texas, and a replacement comes from the state’s title agency. Put that application in, and while it is pending, send us the VIN, the registration card and photos of the truck in Magnolia.
- Is a Magnolia log truck or lumber flatbed something you take?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 87 Magnolia carriers hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber, and those trucks are on our list. Photos of the bunks, the deck and both sides of the cab are what we ask for first.
