The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Cedar Creek Stone Co Ltd, a crushed-stone quarry, 7.2 miles south-west of Mexia, and Skyhigh Pit another crushed-stone site at 8.1 miles in that same direction. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls rock out of either one can be collected at the pit gate or at your yard in town; tell us which, and who can let us in.
Groesbeck Quarry, a sand and gravel operation 10.4 miles south-west according to MSHA records, rounds out the aggregate sites on that side of Mexia. If your truck has worked these pits, have the title, the current registration and any service records in one folder before you call, and send photos of the bed, the cab and the VIN plate.
North-east of town, Arcosa Streetman Plant # 1605 appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings as an industrial-mineral mine 16.5 miles out. A truck parked at that plant stays where it is; give us the plant address and a site contact and we arrange the pickup there.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 105 active carriers based in Mexia, and 90 of them are registered for intrastate work against 15 cleared for interstate hauling. For most sellers here, then, the truck has stayed inside Texas, and its Texas title and registration are the two papers we ask about first.
Thirty-seven of those 105 carriers are private fleets, according to the same FMCSA census. If your truck belongs to a farm, a contractor or a supplier rather than a trucking outfit, the sale works the same way: whoever is named on the title signs it over.
Owners of small fleets like these can sell one truck or several; send a VIN for each unit and say where each one is parked.
Freight, farm supplies and machinery
General freight is the cargo listed by 63 Mexia carriers in FMCSA’s census, with farm supplies named by 22, machinery and large objects by 18, and grain, feed and hay by 14. Box trucks, flatbed tractors, lowboy rigs and hay haulers all fit inside that mix, and we collect each kind.
If your rig hauled machinery or oversize loads, list the trailer separately from the tractor when you contact us, with its own VIN and title. A photo of each data plate saves a second round of questions.
Limestone County farms and the trucks behind them
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,263 farms in Limestone County, with cattle, equine and sheep as the top livestock. A stock hauler or feed truck parked on a ranch is collected at the ranch gate; tell us the road and the nearest landmark.
For a farm truck, gather the title and registration and note whether the truck is titled to you personally or to the ranch. If a lien was ever recorded on it, a release letter from the lender belongs in the same folder.
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covering 47 trucks checked between November 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year of Mexia-based trucks at 2018, and 38.3 percent of those trucks were ten or more model years old. Whatever the model year of yours, the door-jamb sticker and the VIN tell us exactly what it is.
Read the odometer before you call and include a photo of the dash with the ignition on, so the figure you give us matches what we see on arrival.
Work around town and the Teague yard
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 3,087 jobs in Mexia, of which 222 were in manufacturing and 52 in mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction. Contractors among them who are retiring a dump truck or flatbed can send us the unit number, title and photos to start.
Twelve miles east, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows a rail yard at Teague. A truck left near that yard can be picked up where it stands once you give us the spot and a way to reach the keys.
New registrations keep arriving, too: FMCSA’s carrier census recorded 9 new Mexia carriers in 2024 and 11 in 2025. If you started hauling recently and are now stepping away, a truck with a short history needs the same papers as any other: title, registration, and the bill of sale if you bought it used.
The questions we get asked in Mexia
- Do you buy livestock and hay trucks from ranches in Limestone County?Limestone County’s 1,263 farms, per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, run mostly cattle, horses and sheep, and the trucks that serve them are ones we collect. We come to the ranch; just tell us how to find the truck on the property.
