If your tractor has pulled fuel loads out of that rack, tell us whether it is parked at your yard in Palmer or down near Ennis, and we will collect it at whichever spot it sits.
A tractor that has served a fuel terminal usually carries site records along with it: inspection sheets, hazmat endorsements on file, service logs. Put those in the cab or photograph them so the history travels with the truck when our driver arrives in Palmer.
Aggregate haulers east and west of Palmer
East of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Bristol Sand & Gravel 11.4 miles out and the Amrize Rosser Sand Plant at 12.7 miles. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that shuttle between those pits and Palmer job sites are trucks we buy; send a photo of the bed and the frame along with the VIN.
Westward, Amrize Midlothian Plant sits 18.8 miles from Palmer and Midlothian Quarry and Plant 21.1 miles away, both cement plants on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. A bulk pneumatic tanker or mixer that has worked those plants can be picked up at the plant gate, your shop or your driveway, so give us the exact address when you reach out.
If your truck belongs to one of those outfits and it is still on a job site, tell us the site name and how the gate is accessed.
Container tractors working the Dallas Intermodal Terminal
Thirteen-odd miles north, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Dallas Intermodal Terminal ramp at Wilmer, 13.2 miles from Palmer. Day cabs that drag containers off that ramp often stay close to Interstate traffic, so say whether your tractor is at the ramp lot, a drop yard, or home in Palmer.
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Dallas Intermodal Term yard 13.5 miles north and the Miller yard at 20.3 miles. For a tractor that has pulled chassis between those yards, have the title and current registration on hand; those two papers settle most of the questions before pickup.
Nine haul logs, poles, beams and lumber, nine haul machinery and large objects, and eight carry metal sheets, coils and rolls, according to the same census. Flatbeds, step decks and lowboys fit that mix, and so do the dry vans behind the general freight outfits.
Of those Palmer carriers, FMCSA’s census marks 69 as intrastate, 11 as interstate and 16 as private fleets. If your truck has only run Texas routes, its intrastate registration paperwork is what we will ask to see.
The carrier census also records the three biggest local fleets at 30, 10 and 8 power units. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a fleet that size, list each VIN separately and we will schedule the collection around your yard in Palmer.
Read the odometer before you call and give it to us with the VIN; that is the first thing we write down.
FMCSA’s census tallies 107 drivers working inside a hundred-mile radius of Palmer and 66 who go further. A short-radius day cab can be anywhere along its local route, so tell us the yard or lot where it is usually kept in Palmer.
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covered 72 trucks tied to Palmer between October 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2013.5 and 55.6 percent at ten years or older. Whatever the model year, photos of the cab, the data plate and the tires let us match the truck to its paperwork.
If the title is missing, start the duplicate request there before you list the truck with us.
Bring the VIN, your photo ID and any lienholder release to the Waxahachie counter. Once the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues the duplicate, send us a photo of it and we can move ahead with the pickup.
Grain and cattle trucks around Palmer
Around Palmer, Ellis County counts 2,563 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and wheat at the top. Cattle pots, grain hoppers and farm-plated straight trucks from those operations are on our list too.
A truck that sits at a barn or a field edge outside Palmer can be collected where it is. Send a pin or directions to the gate, and mention whether the title is in the farm’s name or yours.
