Quarries north-east and west of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Rock Quarry, a dimension-stone site, 13.4 miles north-east of Steiner Ranch and Spicewood Quarry, which produces crushed stone, 14.1 miles west. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has hauled from either pit can stay where it is parked; give us the gate details and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.
Further out, Cordova Quarry turns up in Mine Safety and Health Administration records 19.2 miles north-west, also cut for dimension stone. Flatbeds that moved slab from a site like that should come with photos of the deck and the tie-down points along with the cab and the VIN plate.
Sand and gravel loads from the Hergotz Plant
Texas Materials Hergotz Plant, a sand and gravel operation, is 16.5 miles south-east of Steiner Ranch according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck is kept in a yard near that plant rather than at home in Steiner Ranch, tell us the street address so the pickup is planned there.
Gravel trucks and transfer rigs from that side of the county change hands with the title in the owner’s name. Check the Texas title before you call; if it shows a lienholder, have the release letter ready, and if the title is lost, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues the certified copy.
Two petroleum terminals east toward Austin
Per the Energy Information Administration, the Austin Plant petroleum product terminal is 9.5 miles east, and the terminal listed as Flint Hills Resources LP- Austin is 16.2 miles in the same direction. Tractors that pulled tank trailers out of those racks are part of what we buy, with or without the trailer.
For a fuel tractor, send the registration, any DOT inspection sheets you kept and a note on whether the wet kit or pump is still mounted. If the trailer stays with you, say so up front and we will talk only about the tractor.
Selling from a Camp Mabry or Futures Command posting
NG Camp Mabry is 8.6 miles east of Steiner Ranch and Army Futures Command is 8.9 miles south-east, both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as military installations. Service members posted at either one who own a work truck on the side can sell it without taking leave; we collect from the address you give us.
If you are being reassigned out of Texas, the truck can stay behind in Travis County. Sign the title before you go, leave a spare key with someone local, and the rest of the sale can be done by phone from your new posting.
Jobs on the delivery and building side
Of the 2,445 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed in Steiner Ranch for 2023, 114 were in wholesale trade, a 4.7 percent share, and 58 sat in transportation and warehousing, a 2.4 percent share. Box trucks and straight trucks from route delivery are welcome alongside the heavy units.
With 28 construction establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns rolls, Steiner Ranch is home to builders who run crew trucks and small dumps. A contractor winding down a crew truck, a stake bed or a small dump can send us the VIN, the odometer reading and four photos to start.
Ranch side
Cattle, corn and horse operations in the county
Travis County had 870 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and its leading products were cattle, corn and horses. Stock trailers’ tow rigs, grain trucks and flatbeds used for hay all qualify, and a farm plate is no obstacle to the sale.
Ranch trucks often sit in a barn or pasture rather than on pavement. Tell us whether a rollback can reach the spot, and whether a gate code or an escort is needed, so collection on the property goes the way you expect.
