Pits off the edge of town
Aggregate haulers working three sites west of Perezville
Tabasco Pit, a sand and gravel operation 2.8 miles north-west of Perezville, is on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of mines. A dump truck or end dump that has been hauling aggregate from it can stay parked at the pit yard or behind your house; we come out to wherever it sits, so send the exact spot and who holds the gate key.
Westward, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records the CARRALES PLANT, another sand and gravel site, at 4.8 miles, and MOBILE CRUSHER #3 FRONTERA MATERIALS, a crushed-stone quarry, at 5.2 miles. If your truck shuttled between those two west-side operations, put the cab, the bed and the VIN plate in your photos and tell us which plant it loaded at.
A truck that worked with the Frontera crusher may now be parked at a different job from the one you remember. Confirm where it is today, and have the registration in hand so the plate and the VIN can be matched when we arrive.
La Havana Pit and the Rio Valley rail ramp
La Havana Pit, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 15.3 miles east of Perezville, draws a separate set of haul trucks from the ones working the west-side pits. If yours ran stone out of La Havana, tell us so and note whether it is still kept on that side of the county.
A little farther along the same direction, Donna’s Rio Valley rail intermodal ramp sits 19.9 miles out on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ listing. Day cabs and sleepers that pulled containers on and off that ramp are trucks we purchase, and a tractor left near Donna does not have to be driven back toward Perezville for us to collect it.
For a container tractor, start with the VIN and the odometer reading, then add the title and any service records you kept. Those four items answer most of what we would otherwise ask over the phone.
Tank work out of the Edinburg terminal
Eighteen miles up toward Edinburg, the Energy Information Administration records a petroleum product terminal at 18.4 miles north-east of Perezville. Tractors that pulled fuel tankers from it to stations around the Valley belong on the list of what we buy, as do the straight trucks that ran local deliveries.
Mention the tanker work when you first reach us and say whether the tractor is still hooked to a trailer. A tractor dropped from its tanker and parked in a yard near Edinburg can be collected from that yard directly.
Grain, module and cattle trucks off Perezville farms
Around Perezville the farm economy is counted at the county level: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture puts 2,045 farms in Hidalgo County, with cotton, corn and cattle as its leading products. Grain trucks, module haulers and cattle haulers from those operations are equipment we take.
A farm truck often sits on private land between seasons. Tell us the road, the gate and the person who can meet us there, and send a photo of the title so the owner’s name on it can be checked against yours before the pickup is set.
A lost Texas title, applied for through the tax office
When the title has gone missing, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles a copy, and its county tax assessor-collector offices are where Hidalgo County owners apply in person. Start that request before you contact us, since a truck changes hands only on a title in the seller’s name.
Keep the registration card with the replacement once it arrives. If a lender ever held a lien on the truck, find the release paper and have it ready alongside the new copy.
