Two cement plants on the western side of Oak Leaf
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Amrize Midlothian Plant 7.3 miles west of Oak Leaf and Ash Grove Cement Company 10.5 miles out in that same direction. Pneumatic tanker tractors, bulk powder rigs and mixer chassis are the kinds of trucks those kilns keep busy, and we buy each of them.
If your tractor has been pulling cement out of either plant, tell us which one and what trailer it usually hooked to. Along with that, send the VIN, a clear photo of the door sticker and shots of the cab, frame and fifth wheel.
A tractor parked in a yard or beside a house in Oak Leaf can stay put; we collect from the address you give us, so send the street and say whether a lowboy can turn in.
Container chassis work at the Dallas Intermodal Terminal
North-east of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Wilmer ramp it calls Dallas Intermodal Terminal 11.1 miles away, and the North American Rail Network records the matching rail yard at 11 miles. Day cabs that shuttle boxes off that ramp are a regular fit for what we purchase.
Drivers who dray from Wilmer usually keep the tractor near home between loads, so the pickup can happen at your house in Oak Leaf rather than at a terminal gate. Have the registration and any annual inspection reports in the cab when we arrive.
Further along the same heading, the North American Rail Network shows the MILLER yard 14.3 miles from Oak Leaf. If your tractor has worked both yards, mention that up front so our questions match the job it did.
Dump trucks tied to Post Oak and Beltline pits
Sand and gravel come out of Post Oak No 1, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration puts 13.5 miles north-east, and Beltline Pit at 16.5 miles on that bearing per the same agency. End dumps, belly dumps and tandem-axle dump trucks are what aggregate pits like these load.
For a dump truck, photograph the bed, the hoist and the tag axle as well as the cab, and list the body builder if you know it. Those details help us describe the unit correctly when we confirm the pickup with you.
Livestock and grain trucks from the surrounding farmland
Around Oak Leaf, Ellis County counted 2,563 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and wheat named as its leading products. Cattle pots, grain hoppers and farm-plated straight trucks come out of that mix, and we take them as well.
A farm truck often stays in a barn lot outside town for long stretches. Give us directions to the gate, tell us whether the ground is firm enough for a recovery truck, and find the title before the day we collect.
The Monroe Street counter in Waxahachie for Oak Leaf owners
Texas titles are handled by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Oak Leaf owners that office is the Ellis County Tax Office at 302 N Monroe St, Waxahachie, 75165, which the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles lists 9.3 miles from town.
If the certificate is missing, request a certified copy at that Waxahachie counter before we schedule anything. Bring your ID and the VIN, and if a lender is still shown on the record, bring its lien release too.
When the name on the certificate differs from yours, say so early. The county tax office can explain which forms fix it, and we will wait for the corrected copy rather than collect a truck whose ownership is unclear.
