Cement and gravel
Kilns to the south-east, pits to the west
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Ash Grove Cement Company 6.1 miles south-east of Mansfield and the Midlothian Quarry and Plant 9.2 miles out on the same bearing. If your bulk tanker or mixer has run between those kilns and job sites around Mansfield, write down which plant it loaded at; that one line answers most of what we would otherwise ask about where the truck has been.
Portable #1, a sand and gravel operation 4.2 miles west of town, and Alvarado Sand and Gravel, 12.1 miles to the south-west, both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. A dump truck or end-dump trailer that sits at one of those pits between loads can stay right there for collection. Give us the pit name, the gate contact and the hours the yard is open.
Construction employs 2,240 people who work in Mansfield, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 185 construction establishments. If the truck belongs to a contractor’s yard rather than to you personally, have the title holder’s name and signature lined up before we schedule anything.
Yards and a terminal on the north side
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the GARRETT rail yard 12.4 miles north of Mansfield and the LOGGING YARD 15.5 miles to the north-west. Drayage tractors that shuttle between those yards and local docks tend to be parked near one end of the run, so tell us which end yours is at.
Carry Transit, a liquid bulk terminal 13.3 miles north, is on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, as is the Grand Prairie Reserve Complex 15.2 miles to the north-east. For a tank tractor that has served the terminal, gather its registration, the last annual inspection sheet and a photo of each side of the tank before you call.
Mansfield’s own trucking outfits
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 546 active motor carriers in Mansfield; 401 of them list general freight, 94 paper products, 87 metal sheets, coils and rolls, and 85 refrigerated food. Whichever of those you haul, a clear photo of the trailer type alongside the tractor lets us see the whole unit as it actually works.
Of those carriers, 228 run interstate, 312 stay intrastate and 100 are private fleets, by the same federal census. A private fleet truck usually carries a company name on the title, so if your business owns the tractor, bring the officer who can sign for it into the conversation early.
New registrations in town reached 53 in 2025, up from 34 in 2024, per FMCSA’s census. If you started up in one of those years and are now trimming a small fleet, list every unit with its VIN in one message and we will work through them together.
Tractor ages at Mansfield roadside stops
A median model year of 2019 turns up for the 420 Mansfield trucks pulled over between August 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put 31.7 percent of that group at ten or more years old. Whatever year your tractor is, send the VIN first; it tells us the model year, engine and build without a single follow-up question.
Federal carrier census entries put the median at 50,000 miles a year per truck, based on the 139 Mansfield carriers that reported mileage. Have the current odometer reading handy along with the VIN, since those two numbers together let us plan the collection.
Drivers working within 100 miles of base number 426 in FMCSA’s census for Mansfield carriers, against 776 who run beyond that radius. A long-haul sleeper may be out on the road when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked at the end of its current run and we can meet it there.
Load-posted spans on the way in
Of 112 bridges around Mansfield in the National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration, 2 are load-posted and none has clearance under 14 feet. If your truck is stored on a farm road or behind a business park, describe the route from the nearest highway so we can plan the trip in.
The 2022 Census of Agriculture from USDA counts 1,000 farms in Tarrant County, led by cattle, horses and wheat. A livestock hauler or grain truck kept on a ranch outside town is collected where it stands; tell us whether a gate needs unlocking and who holds the key.
Plant and distribution routes
Manufacturing accounts for 3,921 jobs and wholesale trade for 3,892 among the 33,500 held in Mansfield, by the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts. Box trucks and straight trucks that run between plants and distribution docks are on our list, so photograph the box, the liftgate and the cab, and include the title.
Transportation and warehousing holds 1,146 of those jobs, or 3.4 percent, in the same LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 5 warehousing establishments in town. If your truck is parked in a warehouse lot you do not control, get the lot manager’s name and number to us before collection day.
