Eagle Sand & Gravel road
End-dumps hauling sand toward Montgomery from the east
Eagle Sand & Gravel lies 14.5 miles east of Montgomery, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and the 1362 (32) Route 242 Plant sits 21.1 miles to the south-east on the same agency’s list. A dump truck or end-dump that cycles between those pits may be parked at a pit gate or a contractor’s yard when you call, so give us that address and the gate hours.
Farther along that south-eastern line, the Conroe Dryer Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as an industrial-mineral mine 24.8 miles from town. If your tractor hauled from the dryer plant, photograph the cab, the frame rails and the VIN plate in daylight and send the set with the registration so the pickup can be scheduled on the first call.
Coil, timber and iron
Lumber, steel coil and heavy machinery on Montgomery decks
Of the 292 active carriers based in Montgomery on FMCSA’s carrier census, 184 list general freight, 78 list machinery and large objects, 57 list logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 50 list metal sheets, coils and rolls. A lowboy, a log trailer setup or a coil-rated flatbed tractor all fit that picture; tell us which body or fifth-wheel setup is on yours and send a side photo.
Construction employs 121 people in Montgomery and manufacturing 160, out of 1,619 jobs counted for 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 87 construction establishments locally, so a dump body, a water truck or a flatbed may be sitting on a job site; let us know the site address and who can open the gate on collection day.
Local and long routes
Intrastate rigs and private fleets based in Montgomery
Montgomery’s registered operators split 218 intrastate against 74 interstate, and 109 run as private fleets, per FMCSA’s carrier census. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the door and a title held by a business, so have the officer who can sign for that business ready when we arrive.
On the same federal census, 599 drivers here keep inside a hundred-mile radius and 647 travel beyond it. A Montgomery truck covered a median 32,622 miles a year across the 58 local carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA. Note the odometer reading and the last service record when you reach out, since those two lines answer most of our first questions.
Roadside checks of local tractors
FMCSA roadside inspection records covering December 2024 through August 2026 show 52 Montgomery trucks with a median model year of 2018, and 32.7 percent of them were ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on your title, send the VIN first; it fills in make, engine and build date before anyone asks.
The biggest operator registered in town runs 108 power units and 115 drivers by FMCSA’s count, while the next two run 15 and 14 power units. A fleet retiring several units at once can list them on one message with each VIN, plate and yard location, and we will plan the collections together.
Cattle, horse and mushroom operations around Montgomery
Around Montgomery the leading farm products are cattle, horses and mushrooms, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,299 farms across Montgomery County. A livestock hauler, a flatbed used for hay or a tractor kept behind a barn can all be collected on the ranch; send directions past the cattle gate and a contact who will be there.
New outfits keep registering here: FMCSA’s carrier census logged 22 new carriers in 2024 and 26 in 2025. An owner-operator who bought a truck when starting out and is now selling it should have the title, the current Texas registration and any lien release together before we schedule the visit.
San Jacinto Street
Replacing a lost title through the Conroe tax office
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Montgomery that is the Montgomery County Tax Office at 400 N San Jacinto St, Conroe, 77301, which the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles lists 15.1 miles from town. If your title is missing, request a certified copy there before the sale so the paperwork is ready when the truck is.
Bring the VIN, your photo ID and any lien release to the Conroe counter. A truck titled to a business also needs the signature of someone authorized to sign for it, and that person should handle the copy request through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles process.
