Quarry trucks around Nolanville Mine & Mill
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Nolanville Mine & Mill, a crushed-stone quarry, just 1.3 miles north-east of town. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor hauls rock out of that pit, it may well be parked on or beside the quarry property when you call; tell us whose gate it sits behind so collection can be arranged with them.
Further out, Miller Springs Materials crushes stone 9.2 miles east, and the 1159 Academy sand and gravel operation is 15.3 miles east, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. A tractor that rotates between those pits and job sites around Bell County can be collected at any of them. Send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, plus the VIN, before anything else.
Two dimension-stone quarries also appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings: Adams Ranch, 9.5 miles south-east, and Apache Stone Quarry LLC, 14 miles south-west. Block and slab loads usually ride on flatbeds or lowboys rather than dump bodies, so if that is your rig, include photos of the deck, the tie-down points and the trailer plate along with the tractor.
Nolanville haulers who stay on Texas roads
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 31 active motor carriers based in Nolanville, and 26 of them run intrastate only, against 5 that cross state lines. For most sellers here that means a Texas-registered truck with a Texas title, which keeps the paperwork simple: have the title, the current registration and any service records together before we talk.
Eleven of those Nolanville carriers are private fleets, per the same federal carrier register, meaning firms that haul their own goods rather than freight for hire. If the truck you want to sell belongs to a business rather than to you personally, have the person who signs for that business ready to sign the title too.
Carriers registered here reported 25 drivers working within 100 miles and 38 driving beyond it, according to FMCSA. A tractor that spends its weeks on the road may be parked in another town when you decide to sell; give us the address where it actually sits and we go there, not to Nolanville.
General freight, vehicles, lumber and steel coil
General freight is the cargo most often declared by Nolanville carriers, with 16 of them listing it in FMCSA’s census; dry vans and box trucks are the usual equipment behind that entry. Tell us the trailer type and whether it goes with the tractor or stays with you.
Six local carriers declare motor vehicles as cargo under the federal carrier register, a listing that usually means car haulers. With a car hauler, send photos of the ramps, the hydraulics and the deck from both sides, and say whether the headache rack or decks were added after the truck left the factory.
On the FMCSA filings, 5 carriers here haul logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 4 haul metal sheets, coils and rolls. Both loads usually sit on flatbeds or step-decks with straps, chains and coil racks; list what equipment goes with the truck so the sale covers exactly what you mean it to.
Units per outfit
Small fleets, owner-operators and new authority
The three biggest fleets based in town run 6, 4 and 4 power units, as reported to FMCSA, with 4, 4 and 2 drivers. Whether you are selling one tractor or the whole roster, a list of VINs, years, makes and the title holder for each unit is the right place to start.
Five new carriers registered here during 2025 and one during 2024, according to FMCSA’s census. If your authority is recent and the truck still carries a loan, tell us the lender’s name; the lien has to be released on the title before it changes hands, and we work through that with you.
Construction jobs and the farms of Bell County
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 77 Nolanville workers in construction out of 628 jobs in town, which is 12.3 percent of local employment. Contractors’ dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds are often parked at a yard or a job site rather than at home, so tell us where yours stands and who can let us onto the lot.
Twelve construction firms have Nolanville addresses in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, each a possible title holder for a work truck parked in town. A truck titled to one of those businesses needs the company’s authorised signer on the title; if the original is missing, ask the state’s title agency for a duplicate before the day we collect.
Around Nolanville, Bell County holds 2,330 farms raising chiefly corn, cattle and wheat, as tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and farm-plated tractors on those operations are trucks we buy as well; send photos of the bed or trailer and note how the truck is plated.
Roads, rails and post
Fort Cavazos, the Temple rail yards and local bridges
Fort Cavazos, a military installation listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies 12.6 miles north-west of Nolanville. If you are stationed there and the truck is parked off post, give us that address; if you are moving away, the truck can stay put and you finish the sale from your next duty station.
East of town, the North American Rail Network shows two Temple rail yards at 15 and 15.4 miles. A day cab that shuttles loads between those yards and the quarries can be picked up at either end of the run; just say which.
The National Bridge Inventory lists 31 bridges in and around Nolanville, none with clearance under 14 feet and 1 posted for load. Low clearances do not limit how we reach a truck here, but if yours is parked down a road with that weight-posted span, mention it so the collecting rig plans another route.
