Mitchell Quarry, a crushed-stone operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 8.3 miles south of Muenster, is the closest pit to town, and North Texas Crushed Stone Inc sits 8.8 miles to the north-east on the same federal register. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either one is often parked at the pit or at a yard on the road between. Tell us which quarry it works out of and we will arrange to collect it there.
Farther out, B&B Sand is 19.6 miles north-east and Tri County Materials is 20.8 miles south-east, both sand and gravel operations in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records. If your truck splits its days between the stone pits and the gravel plants, give us the address where it sleeps most nights. Send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab so the truck we see matches the one you describe.
Rigs and loads
Machinery and oilfield freight out of Muenster
Of the 57 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Muenster, 19 haul machinery and large objects and 17 carry oilfield equipment, beside 21 hauling general freight. A lowboy tractor, a winch truck or a flatbed that moved rig parts fits what we purchase. Have the title and the current registration in hand when you reach us, and note any trailer that goes with the tractor.
Fourteen Muenster carriers list farm supplies as cargo in the same FMCSA census. Feed haulers, grain trucks and stock trailers kept on a farm outside town do not need to be brought in; we come to the barn or the field gate. Tell us who can meet us there and whether the lane takes a heavy tow.
Private fleets and short runs from town
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 41 private fleets among Muenster’s carriers, alongside 33 operating intrastate and 24 crossing state lines. A business that hauls its own goods usually keeps its trucks at its own yard, so give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the keys. A company title should carry the signature of someone authorised to sign for the business.
Muenster’s carriers report 161 drivers working inside a hundred-mile radius and 68 running farther, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. The median truck among 24 reporting carriers logged 13,618 miles a year in FMCSA’s carrier census. Write the odometer reading down before you call, along with the VIN; most of our questions follow from those two.
Muenster yards with a dozen trucks or more
One Muenster carrier runs 35 power units with 22 drivers on FMCSA’s carrier census, another runs 19 with 37 drivers, and a third runs 13 with 15. A fleet selling several units at once can list them together; we take them as a group from the yard where they stand. Send a sheet with each VIN, the title holder and the plate.
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA, covering 25 Muenster trucks checked between September 2024 and May 2026, give a median model year of 2015, with 52 percent of those trucks ten or more years old. Whatever the year on yours, keep the service records you have with the title. They tell us the truck’s history in a way photos alone cannot.
Texas titles come from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and for Muenster the counter is the Cooke County Tax Office at 112 South Dixon Street, Gainesville, 76240, a county tax assessor-collector office 13.4 miles east of town. If the title is missing, start the duplicate there before you sell. Bring your ID and the VIN, and ask about any lien still recorded against the truck.
A lienholder named on the title needs a release before the truck changes hands. Ask your lender for the release letter and keep it with the title and registration. If the truck is titled to a farm or a company, have the person on that title ready to sign.
Bridges, the Gainesville rail yard and the cattle country
Tell us which county road reaches your truck so the tow is routed around a posted crossing. The Gainesville rail yard, 13.2 miles east on the North American Rail Network, is close to that office trip if you plan both on one day.
Cooke County carries 2,188 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and wheat at the top of its list. Around Muenster, livestock trailers, hay trucks and grain trucks often stay on the ranch between seasons. Send photos of the truck on the ranch, plus the gate and the lane, and name the county road out to it.
Box trucks and tractors that served a plant dock fit what we purchase; tell us the routes they ran. Give us the plant or yard address if the truck is still parked there.
Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from a building crew can be collected from a job site or a shop lot. Send the body type and the VIN, and tell us if any equipment mounted on the truck goes with it.
