Dump trucks from Denton Sand Farm and B & B
Denton Sand Farm, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 3.6 miles north-west of Paloma Creek, and B & B Sand & Gravel is 5.5 miles out in that same direction. If your tri-axle or end dump hauls aggregate out of either pit, tell us which one and whether the truck is parked at the pit or back home when you reach us, so the pickup goes to the right gate.
Further west, at 11.9 miles, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Denton Pits as an industrial-mineral mine. For a truck that has hauled from there, gather its registration, the title and any scale tickets or service records you still keep, and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab before anyone heads out to it.
Southbound rail
Yard tractors between Paloma Creek and the Carrollton tracks
South of Paloma Creek, a pair of Carrollton yards sit 18.5 and 18.7 miles away on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. Day cabs that shuttle freight between those yards and the warehouses around them are trucks we buy, sleepers included.
If your tractor is sitting at a yard lot in Carrollton rather than at home, give us that address and a contact who can open the gate. Have the VIN, the odometer reading and the title ready, and we will arrange collection where the tractor already is, without you driving it north first.
Fuel haulers working the Southlake terminals
The Energy Information Administration places a petroleum product terminal at Southlake, 19.7 miles south of town, and a second one listed as Southlake TX at 23.7 miles to the south-west. A tractor hooked to a fuel trailer from either Southlake rack, or a straight tank truck that loads there, is welcome on our list.
For a tanker, send photos of the tank, the valves and the cab along with the unit number on the trailer, and say whether the tractor and trailer are being sold together or apart. Any inspection certificates for the tank help us match what we see to what you describe.
Horses and grain
Stock trailers, grain trucks and Denton County farms
Around Paloma Creek, horses top the farm list: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,936 farms across Denton County and ranks equine first, ahead of wheat and sorghum. Tractors that pull horse or stock trailers, and straight trucks with grain beds, are both welcome here.
A farm truck may be parked in a barn lot or a pasture rather than on pavement. Tell us whether the ground there is firm enough for a tow truck and where the gate is, and pull together the title and registration, since a truck kept on a farm sometimes carries different plates from a highway tractor.
Getting a title copy at the Denton County Tax Office
In Texas the title agency is the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, which handles title work through county tax assessor-collector offices. Owners in Paloma Creek are pointed by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles’ directory toward a county tax assessor-collector desk in Denton, the Denton County Tax Office at 1505 E. McKinney, Denton, 76209, 10.2 miles from town according to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
If the title is missing or still names a lender that has since released it, start the copy request there before we schedule the pickup. Bring the VIN, your driver’s licence and any lien release letter, and keep the receipt the office gives you so we can see the replacement is on its way.
