Denton Sand Farm, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls, lies 6.1 miles north of town, with B & B Sand & Gravel 8.6 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that runs between those pits and Denton County job sites can be collected at the yard where it is parked; send us that address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
West of town, Denton Pits is an industrial-mineral mine that the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 8.8 miles away. If your truck has hauled out of a mine site, note which one when you contact us, and keep any site entry or safety paperwork in the cab so it travels with the truck.
Racks and railheads
Southlake fuel racks, Carrollton and Alliance
To the south, the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Southlake 15.2 miles away and a second Southlake terminal 19 miles to the south-west. Tankers and tractors that load at those racks are trucks we buy; photograph the tank plate, the cab and the tractor’s VIN plate before you call.
Rail yards at Carrollton sit 15.5 miles south and south-east of Oak Point on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Further out, the Alliance intermodal ramp is 23.9 miles south-west by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ measure. A day cab that drays boxes from those ramps can stay parked where it last dropped; tell us the lot and we plan around it.
Oak Point carriers
Eighteen small carriers and what they carry
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 18 active carriers based in Oak Point, 14 of them listing general freight, 4 hauling motor vehicles, and 3 each carrying dry bulk commodities and logs, poles, beams or lumber. So the trucks here range from van tractors to car haulers to flatbeds; tell us the body or trailer type up front, along with the VIN.
Of those carriers, 8 run interstate and 10 stay intrastate, with 2 operating as private fleets, per the federal carrier census. An interstate tractor should come with its registration papers and any apportioned plate records, while a Texas-only truck needs its state title and current registration.
Under FMCSA records, Oak Point’s top fleet pairs 5 power units with 5 drivers, the next has 4 units and a single driver, and a third has 3 units and 2 drivers. Owners at that scale can sell one unit or the whole group; list each truck by VIN and year so we can line up a single collection trip.
Across the 7 Oak Point carriers that file mileage with FMCSA, a typical truck logs a median 45,000 miles annually. Write the odometer reading down from the dash and include it with your photos; it is one of the first things we ask for.
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 14 drivers working inside a 100-mile radius and 19 driving beyond it. For a truck that is out on a long run when you decide to sell, give us where it will be parked next and when it gets there.
Jobs and acreage
Local jobs and Denton County farmland
Of the 407 jobs located in Oak Point in 2023, transportation and warehousing held 95, a 23.3 percent share, by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. A seller whose truck sits at a warehouse lot or a home driveway in town can leave it right there for collection.
Denton County held 2,936 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with equine, wheat and sorghum as the leading lines. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and flatbeds that work that farmland qualify too; if the truck is parked in a pasture or barn lot, describe the access road so the right equipment comes.
Oak Point title, registration and photos
Before anything else, locate the Texas title for the truck. If it is lost, the state’s title agency in Texas issues a replacement, and you can start that request while we look over your photos.
Pull together registration, any inspection reports and service records you keep, then take clear photos of all four sides, the cab interior and the dash. One new carrier registered in Oak Point in 2025 and none in 2024 under FMCSA’s census, so if your authority is recent, have the USDOT number handy as well.
