Two pits within seven miles of town
Denton Sand Farm is 5 miles north-west of town and B & B Sand & Gravel is 6.5 miles out in the same direction, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list of operations. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that runs loads between those two pits and job sites around Savannah is the kind of truck we collect. Have the title and current registration in hand when you call, and tell us which pit it last loaded at.
Further west, the Denton Pits industrial-mineral mine lies 13.6 miles away according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck is parked inside a pit gate rather than at your house, give us the name of whoever controls access there so the pickup can be arranged with them directly.
Box vans, coil flatbeds and lumber loads
Of the 21 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Savannah, general freight appears on the registration of 17. Those are mostly dry van and reefer operations, so a sleeper or day cab pulling a box trailer is the usual truck we hear about from this town. Send photos of the cab, the frame and the tires with the VIN so we can match the truck to its registration.
Three of the same 21 carriers haul metal sheets, coils and rolls, two carry logs, poles, beams and lumber, and two move dry bulk commodities, per the federal carrier census. Flatbed and pneumatic tanker setups belong on that list too. If the trailer goes with the tractor, say so up front and include the trailer’s own title.
Of the carriers in FMCSA’s census, 11 run interstate, 10 stay intrastate, and one is a private fleet hauling its own goods. An intrastate truck carries Texas registration only, so the Texas title and the cab card are usually all the paperwork the sale needs.
One-truck owners and one larger fleet
The biggest fleet registered in Savannah runs 22 power units with 22 drivers, and the next two each run 2 trucks and 2 drivers, on the figures FMCSA publishes. Beyond that one fleet, the carriers here are small operations whose tractors are often parked at home. Tell us the street address and whether a tow rig has room to turn around on the property.
FMCSA’s carrier census records 6 new carriers in Savannah in 2025 and 2 in 2024. If you started up recently and are now selling, keep the bill of sale from when you bought the truck alongside the title, since a recent transfer is easier to confirm with both documents.
Local loads and long runs
Federal carrier census figures put 11 drivers from Savannah carriers within a 100-mile radius and 41 working beyond it. A truck that spends its weeks on long runs may be out of state when you decide to sell, so tell us where it will be parked, not only where you live.
Among the 7 carriers here that report it, the median is 60,000 miles per truck in the FMCSA census. Give us the odometer reading with the VIN at the start; the rest of our questions follow from those two.
Rail to the south, fuel to the south-west
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places two Carrollton rail yards 18.4 and 18.6 miles south of Savannah. Day cabs that shuttle freight to and from those yards can be collected where they are parked, including a drop lot near the yard, if someone can let us onto it.
To the south-west, the Energy Information Administration lists petroleum product terminals at Southlake, 20.3 and 24.5 miles from town. A tractor that has pulled fuel tankers out of Southlake should come with its tank inspection records if you kept them, since they show what the truck was set up to haul.
Horse country and grain fields
Horses, wheat and sorghum lead the 2,936 Denton County farms tallied by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and tractors that pull livestock or horse trailers on these farms are trucks we buy as well, and they are often parked in a barn or field rather than a lot.
Jobs located in Savannah numbered 302 in 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. With that few workplaces in town, a farm truck may sit on rural acreage outside the town line, so send a map pin along with the address and a phone number for whoever will be on site.
The questions we get asked in Savannah
- The end-dump is still loading at Denton Sand Farm or B & B. Is collection possible right at the pit gate?Denton Sand Farm is 5 miles from town and B & B Sand & Gravel 6.5 miles, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and we collect from either one. Give us the gate contact so the pit operator knows we are coming.
- The truck works Denton County grain or horse farms. Can you collect it from a field?Denton County has 2,936 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by equine, wheat and sorghum, and we collect farm trucks from barns and fields as well as yards. Send a map pin and the name of someone who can meet us at the gate.
- The tractor pulls fuel tankers from the Southlake terminals. Will you collect it at the terminal lot?The Southlake terminals sit 20.3 and 24.5 miles south-west of Savannah on Energy Information Administration listings, and we come to the truck at either one. Tell us whose yard it is in and bring the tank inspection paperwork if you have it.
