A dozen small carriers on the Trophy Club rolls
Seven of the 12 active Trophy Club carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census name general freight as a cargo they move. If your tractor or box truck spent its working life on those general freight runs, send us the VIN, the title and a photo of each side of the cab, and we can start from there.
Three of the town’s carriers report commodities dry bulk, two report beverages and two report intermodal containers, according to that same federal census. A hopper outfit, a beverage route truck or a container chassis puller from Trophy Club all fit what we collect; tell us which kind of hauling yours did so the questions we ask are the right ones.
The biggest operation in town runs 7 power units with 7 drivers, the next runs 2 units and the third runs 1, as FMCSA’s census records them. Whether you are selling one truck from a single-unit outfit or part of a seven-truck operation, list each unit with its VIN and plate so we can arrange them together.
Local routes and longer lanes out of the town
Of the Trophy Club carriers in the FMCSA census, 5 are authorised for interstate work, 7 run intrastate only and 3 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. An intrastate truck may carry Texas-only paperwork, so keep its registration and any state operating records with the title.
Driver records filed with FMCSA show 7 drivers working within 100 miles of home and 13 working beyond that radius. A truck whose driver is out on a long lane can be collected wherever it is parked at the end of the run, so give us that address rather than bringing it back to Trophy Club first.
Two Southlake fuel terminals, one Alliance ramp
The Energy Information Administration places one petroleum product terminal 6 miles south-east of Trophy Club at Southlake and a second about 7.7 miles east. If your truck hauled fuel from either Southlake site, keep any tank inspection certificates and loading records with it, since they tell us what the trailer and tractor were set up for.
Ten miles west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Alliance intermodal ramp, and the North American Rail Network maps the Alliance rail yard 10.5 miles out in the same direction. A day cab that pulled boxes off the Alliance ramp can stay at the yard or lot where it is parked; tell us who holds the gate and we will set the pickup with them.
South-east, about 13.5 miles away, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Kinder Morgan liquid bulk terminal, and 14 miles south-west it lists the Quality Transload liquid bulk site. Tankers that worked those transload points should come with their most recent tank test dates noted, along with the title.
Denton Pits and the NG Saginaw installation
North of Trophy Club by 13.5 miles, Denton Pits appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as an industrial-mineral mine. Dump trucks and end dumps that hauled from that pit are trucks we buy; photograph the bed, the frame and the axles along with the cab, and note the axle configuration in your message.
Fourteen miles to the south-west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the NG Saginaw military installation. If your truck is parked near Saginaw rather than in town, give us that location and a contact who can meet us, and the sale can be handled from wherever you are.
Trophy Club payrolls and county horse and grain farms
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 1,658 jobs in Trophy Club in 2023, with 164 in transportation and warehousing, a 9.9 percent share, and 73 in wholesale trade, 4.4 percent. A delivery straight truck or box van from one of those warehouse or wholesale jobs is a straightforward sale; have the registration and any service log in one folder before you contact us.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,936 farms across Denton County, with equine, wheat and sorghum as the leading products. A grain truck that hauled wheat or sorghum, or a rig that pulled horse trailers, may be sitting on farmland outside town; send the gate location and a note on the ground the truck is parked on.
Five open bridges and a ready title folder
None of the 5 Trophy Club structures in the National Bridge Inventory carries a load posting, and none clears less than 14 feet. A tall tractor or loaded rig can be collected from inside town without a detour around a restricted bridge, so an address in Trophy Club is enough for us to plan the route.
Before we come out, put the title, the current registration and a photo of the VIN plate in one place, along with any service or inspection records the truck carries. If the title is not in your hands, tell us at the start so we can talk through where it stands before the collection is planned.
The questions we get asked in Trophy Club
- My tractor sits at the Alliance rail yard instead of in Trophy Club. Can you collect it at Alliance, or must it come back to Trophy Club first?The North American Rail Network places the Alliance yard about 10.5 miles west of town, and we collect from there. Give us the name of whoever opens the Alliance gate and we will line up the collection with that person.
- I ran a beverage route out of Trophy Club. Would you take my route truck?Two of the 12 Trophy Club carriers in FMCSA’s census list beverages as their cargo, and route trucks like theirs are ones we take. Include the VIN, the title and pictures of the beverage body bays along with the cab.
- Our dump truck hauled from Denton Pits. Which Denton Pits dump truck photos and papers should go with the listing?Denton Pits sits 13.5 miles north of town in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, and trucks from that kind of work are ones we purchase. Send photos of the bed, frame and axles, plus the title and registration.
