Quarry and pits
Dump work between Wills Point and the Beltline Pit
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Wills Point Lester Plant 1655, a crushed-stone quarry, 11.8 miles east of Terrell. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has shuttled stone off that quarry floor can be collected from the plant yard or from your own lot in Kaufman County; give us the street address and a gate contact.
Two sand and gravel operations show up in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings to the west: Beltline Pit at 19.7 miles and Cottonwood Plant 1204 at 21.3 miles south-west. If your truck splits its week between those pits and Terrell, tell us which site it sits at on the day you contact us, and send photos of the bed, the frame rails and the cab interior.
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 73 construction establishments in the area around Terrell. If your truck feeds those job sites with fill and base rock, tell us which yard it returns to, and have the title in the name that appears on the registration.
Mesquite, Wylie and the Dallas rail yards
West of town, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Dallas, TX - Mesquite intermodal ramp 21.6 miles out, with a second ramp at Wylie, TX 23.9 miles to the north-west. Day cabs that pull chassis and containers off those ramps are trucks we buy; have the VIN, the odometer reading and a photo of the data plate ready before you call.
DALLAS TOFC lies 21.9 miles west and DALLAS IMF 23.9 miles west, according to the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your tractor drays between those yards and Terrell, a printout of recent service or annual inspection records helps us match the truck to its paperwork.
For fuel work, SUNOCO CADDO LLC appears in Energy Information Administration records as a petroleum product terminal 21.3 miles north. A tractor that pulled tank trailers in and out of that terminal can be sold with or without the trailer; tell us which, and send photos of the fifth wheel and the tractor from both sides.
Freight, coil and car hauling on Terrell’s carrier roll
General freight accounts for 172 of the 275 active Terrell carriers on the FMCSA carrier census, ahead of machinery at 47, metal coil at 38 and motor vehicles at 34. Box trucks, straight trucks and sleeper tractors on van work make up that freight, and any of them can be listed with us using the VIN and a set of clear photos.
The same FMCSA carrier census files the machinery count under large objects and the 38 metal carriers under sheets, coils and rolls. Lowboy tractors, flatbed rigs and car haulers from that work are trucks we purchase; tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale.
The same federal census splits operations into 80 interstate carriers, 194 intrastate carriers and 90 private fleets. A private fleet truck that hauls a company’s own goods is sold the same way as a for-hire unit: the title holder signs, and we collect from the yard.
Kaufman County mileage, radius and model years
For Terrell, the FMCSA carrier census shows 671 drivers running past a 100-mile radius and 264 staying inside it. If your long-haul truck is out of state when you decide to sell, tell us where it will be parked next and we will arrange the pickup there instead of in Kaufman County.
Across 66 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median truck logged 30,032 miles a year. Note your own odometer reading in the first message so the listing describes the truck accurately.
Of the 486 Terrell-based trucks stopped at roadside between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2023, and 15.2 percent were built ten or more years earlier. Whatever the model year on your title, send it with the VIN and the registration so we can confirm the truck before collection.
Warehouses, factories and Kaufman County cattle
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 13,726 jobs in Terrell, with 2,428 in manufacturing and 2,226 in transportation and warehousing. Trucks that service plant docks here, from yard tractors to straight trucks, can be photographed where they stand and collected from the plant lot once the title holder signs.
Kaufman County holds 2,478 farms, according to USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, equine and deer at the top of the list. A livestock hauler or a farm truck kept on a ranch outside Terrell is collected at the ranch; send directions to the barn or pasture gate along with the title.
County Business Patterns lists 7 warehousing establishments around Terrell, and the LEHD figures from the Census Bureau show 539 wholesale trade jobs. A delivery truck working those docks can be sold straight from the loading bay; have the registration and the keys with whoever meets us.
Selling one truck or several from a Terrell yard
At the top end, one Terrell fleet on the FMCSA carrier census fields 434 power units and 376 drivers, while the next two run 44 units with 38 drivers and 18 units with 19 drivers. Whether you are clearing a few units out of a yard that size or selling a single owner-operator tractor, list each truck by VIN and we will work through them one title at a time.
Terrell added 19 new carriers in 2024 and 34 in 2025, going by the FMCSA carrier census. If your carrier is among the newer ones and the truck is still financed, tell us the lienholder’s name so the release can be lined up with the title transfer.
