Two sand and gravel operations on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list sit close by: IMAGE MATERIALS about 10.8 miles north-east and Top-Way Materials, LLC about 11.6 miles east. If your dump truck or end-dump trailer hauls out of either pit, it may be parked at a yard near the pit rather than at your house. Give us the exact address, and we will collect it from there.
Up north, Bridgeport Stone Plant and Chico Quarry are both crushed-stone quarries the Mine Safety and Health Administration places about 17.2 miles from town. A tractor and belly-dump pairing that runs rock out of those quarries is something we buy as a set or as separate units. Tell us which pieces you want to sell and send photos of each, including the VIN plate.
For an intrastate truck, Texas registration papers and the title are the two documents to find first. An interstate unit should also come with its cab card if you still have it.
If the truck belongs to a business rather than to you personally, have the name on the title match the business selling it, and bring a letter showing who can sign for the company.
Most outfits here are small, though FMCSA records show one fleet running 68 power units with 89 drivers, another with 38 trucks and 38 drivers, and a third with 14 of each. Whether you are selling one tractor or a handful from a fleet like those, send us a list of VINs and where each unit is parked.
Of the carriers in FMCSA’s census, 114 list general freight, 47 list machinery and large objects, and 35 list metal sheets, coils and rolls. That points to vans, flatbeds, step-decks and lowboys sitting in Springtown yards. Tell us the trailer type and length alongside the tractor details, since a trailer is a separate title.
Thirty-four local carriers on the federal roster haul farm supplies, and the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 4,379 farms across Parker County, led by equine, cattle and sheep operations. A livestock trailer or a feed truck parked out on a ranch is easy for us to reach. Send a pin for the gate and the name of whoever can let us onto the property.
Put the current odometer reading in your first message along with the VIN; with those two details we can look up the rest of the truck’s specification.
FMCSA’s carrier census also shows 169 drivers working within 100 miles of home base and 300 going beyond that radius. If your truck is out on a long route right now, you can still start the sale; tell us when and where it will be parked next.
Terminals, rail and bases to the south and east
The Energy Information Administration lists ALEDO WEST FORT WORTH, a petroleum product terminal, roughly 16.6 miles south. A fuel tanker that loads there may be kept near the terminal; tell us whether the tank has been cleaned out and keep the latest inspection papers with the truck.
Toward the east, ALLIANCE rail yard lies 19.1 miles away in the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle containers or freight to that yard can be picked up wherever they sit in the Alliance area.
Southeast of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places NG Fort Worth - Shoreview at 18.4 miles and Air Force Plant 4 at 19 miles. If your truck is parked on a contractor lot near either installation, check what access rules apply and tell us before we schedule a visit.
Springtown counted 2,152 jobs in 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with 61 of them, or 2.8 percent, in construction. Whichever trade the truck served, the title is what moves the sale forward, so locate it before you contact us.
If the title is lost, the replacement comes from the state’s title agency, and you can tell us you have applied while we keep talking. Bring the registration, any lien release if the truck was financed, and photos of the cab, frame, tires and VIN plate.
The questions we get asked in Springtown
