North Austin Quarry, Champion Pit and three more close by
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists North Austin Quarry, a sand and gravel operation, and Bernardo’s Pit #2, a dimension-stone quarry, both 2.2 miles north-east of Serenada. A dump truck or end-dump trailer that hauls out of either one may still be sitting at the pit gate when you decide to sell, and we can collect it there once you tell us who runs the site and when it is open.
Over on the north-west side, Champion Pit sits 3.3 miles out, the Ronald Reagan Plant 3.4 miles and America #1 3.7 miles, according to Mine Safety and Health Administration records for those crushed-stone and dimension-stone sites. If your tandem or tri-axle has been loading aggregate at one of them, note which plant it worked from and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab together.
The two TAYLOR terminals, fifteen miles out
Two petroleum product terminals appear in Energy Information Administration listings south-east of Serenada: TAYLOR at 14.4 miles and TAYLOR TERMINAL at 15.2 miles. A tractor that pulls fuel tankers between those terminals and local stations is a truck we buy, whether the tank trailer comes with it or stays behind.
For a tanker unit, gather the registration, the VIN plate photo and any annual inspection sheets you kept from terminal work. If the tractor stays parked near Taylor rather than at your house in Serenada, give us that address and we plan the pickup there.
Construction makes up nearly half the local jobs
Of the 212 jobs counted in Serenada for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), 102 sit in construction, a 48.1 percent share. Owners in that trade often run a single dump truck, a flatbed or a water truck out of their own yard, and we will come to that yard.
If the truck belongs to a small construction business rather than to you personally, have the name on the title match the seller, or bring a document showing you can sign for the company. Send a clear photo of each side, the dash and the data plate with your first message.
Out past the subdivisions
Corn, cattle and deer around Serenada
Around Serenada, Williamson County holds 2,352 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, cattle and deer listed as the top products there. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and flatbeds that move hay or feed between those operations are all part of what we purchase.
A farm truck often sits in a barn lot or along a fence line rather than on pavement. Tell us how to reach it, whether a gate needs unlocking, and whether a trailer stays hitched, so the collection goes to the right spot on the first trip.
A lost title, a tax assessor-collector, and Serenada sellers
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles certified copies of a lost title, and in Texas the county tax assessor-collector offices are where that request is filed. Start that copy before you list the truck with us so the transfer has a title to sign.
Along with the title, keep the current registration, the keys and any service log in the cab. If a lender still shows on the title, mention it when you first contact us so the lien release is part of the plan from the start.
