Quarries and cement plants around Seguin
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two crushed-stone quarries north-west of Seguin: Brauntex Materials at 13.9 miles and the New Braunfels Plant at 14.1. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor hauls rock out of either one, tell us which pit it loads at and whether it is parked on site, so we can arrange gate access before the pickup.
Westward, the Balcones Plant cement works sits 14.1 miles from town and the Solms Operation sand and gravel site 15.3 miles, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Bulk pneumatic tankers and mixers that serve a cement plant often carry their own maintenance logs; send those along with photos of the tank, the chassis plate and the cab.
Farther out, the 1604 Quarry & Plant cement operation is 24.4 miles west and the Lindeman Pit gravel site 24.6 miles east, with the Ecleto Creek Mine, an industrial-mineral operation, 15.2 miles south, per MSHA. A truck sitting at any of those three can stay there; give us the site name and a contact who can let us in.
Factory jobs and the loads Seguin carriers declare
Of 19,811 jobs counted in Seguin for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, 7,592 were in manufacturing, 38.3 percent of the total. If your tractor runs between plant docks in town, have the registration and the cab card ready, and note whether it is a day cab or a sleeper when you first get in touch.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 57 Seguin carriers declaring metal sheets, coils and rolls, and 65 declaring machinery and large objects. Flatbed and step-deck rigs are what that freight rides on; photograph the deck, the tie-down points and the trailer plate as well as the tractor, and list any coil racks or chains that go with the sale.
General freight is declared by 260 local carriers in the same federal census, and 52 list logs, poles, beams and lumber. A lumber flatbed or a dry van tractor needs the same few things from you: the title in your name, the VIN, the odometer reading and clear photos taken in daylight.
How Seguin’s carriers are set up
There are 431 active carriers based in Seguin in FMCSA’s carrier census; 365 run intrastate, 63 run interstate and 128 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck may be titled to the business rather than to you, so check whose name is on the title before you contact us and have someone with signing authority ready.
Drivers split almost evenly by distance: 456 work within 100 miles and 497 beyond it, according to the federal carrier census. If your sleeper is out on a long run, tell us where it will be parked when it comes home and we can schedule the pickup around that address.
The same FMCSA registry recorded 34 new carriers here in 2025 and 29 in 2024. For an owner-operator who started recently, the registration, the title and the USDOT number on the door are the documents to gather; a lease agreement, if the truck was ever leased on, helps too.
Single trucks to fleets of more than a hundred
One carrier in town reports 117 power units and 81 drivers, another 45 power units, and a third 27, per FMCSA’s census of registered carriers. Whether you are selling one tractor or several from a yard, send a list of VINs with the unit numbers so each truck can be matched to its title.
Across 90 local carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median truck covered 41,757 miles. Write the current odometer reading down when you photograph the dash; it is one of the first figures we ask for on every truck.
When several trucks are parked together in one Seguin yard, we can plan a single visit to collect them. Tell us how many units are there, whether any trailers go with them, and who holds the keys.
What roadside inspections show about trucks around Seguin
Seguin-based carriers had 394 trucks stopped and checked at the roadside from late August 2024 to late August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put the middle model year of that group at 2018. Put the model year and the engine make in your first message; together with the VIN, that tells us exactly which truck we are looking at.
Just under half of those 394 Seguin trucks, 44.9 percent by the FMCSA roadside inspection records, carried a model year at least a decade back. Any model year is welcome, and a copy of your most recent inspection report is a useful document to include with the photos.
Seguin bridges, job sites and Guadalupe ranches
Of the 98 Seguin bridges in the National Bridge Inventory, not one carries a posted load limit or sits lower than 14 feet. A tall or heavy truck parked anywhere in town can be reached without detours, so just give us the street address.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau lists 106 construction establishments here, and the LEHD job counts put 397 jobs in construction and 738 in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction. Dump trucks, water trucks and lowboy tractors from a job site can be collected at the site; send the gate hours with your photos.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,369 farms in Guadalupe County, with cattle, corn and goats as the leading products. A cattle hauler, grain truck or farm-plated tractor parked on a ranch outside Seguin is collected right there; tell us how the road in looks for a tow vehicle.
The questions we get asked in Seguin
- Can my end-dump stay at the New Braunfels Plant quarry for pickup instead of coming to Seguin?The New Braunfels Plant quarry is 14.1 miles north-west of Seguin in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s records, and we collect from the quarry itself. Name the pit and whoever keeps the gate key there.
- Our Seguin tractor is titled to the business that runs its own private fleet; whose signature goes on the title?Seguin has 128 private fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census, and on many of them the title is in the business’s name. Whoever is authorized to sign for the business signs the title, so have that person available.
- My tractor hauled steel coil from a Seguin plant; which documents and photos go with it?With 57 local carriers declaring metal sheets, coils and rolls in FMCSA’s census, coil tractors are a familiar sight here. Send the VIN, the odometer reading, photos of the cab and frame, and the title in your name.
- Can you pick up a cattle truck from a ranch in Guadalupe County?Guadalupe County has 2,369 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we collect from ranches across it. Tell us the ranch address and how a tow vehicle gets in.
