Two petroleum terminals south of Wells Branch
Fuel trucks leaving Wells Branch to the south-west reach the Austin Plant petroleum product terminal after 5.7 miles, on the Energy Information Administration’s terminal list. A tanker or fuel-delivery tractor that loads there is often parked at a yard between the terminal and town, so give us that yard’s street address and a name for whoever holds the gate key.
Flint Hills Resources LP - Austin, another petroleum product terminal, is 8.8 miles south-east on the Energy Information Administration’s list. If your tractor pulled tank trailers out of either site, tell us whether the trailer comes with it or stays behind, and send a photo of the plate on the tank alongside shots of the cab, frame and tires.
Quarries north and south along the Austin corridor
Mine Safety and Health Administration records place Georgetown Qy & Plt, a crushed-stone quarry, 11.1 miles north, and the Weir Plant, also crushed stone, 11.8 miles north. Tri-axle dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul aggregate from those two pits fit what we purchase; a photo of the bed and the hoist with the VIN plate helps us match the truck to its paperwork.
South of town, the Texas Materials Hergotz Plant, a sand and gravel operation, lies 14.2 miles away, and a dimension-stone site listed simply as Rock Quarry sits 9.8 miles north-west, both per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A truck sitting inside a quarry gate can be collected there; tell us who runs the site so access is cleared ahead of the visit.
Building crews, warehouses and plant floors
Of the 8,691 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded here for 2023, construction held 1,097, a 12.6 percent share. Contractors’ dump trucks, stake beds and flatbeds from that work are welcome; have the title in the name of the company or person selling, and if a company owns it, the signer should be someone the business authorises.
Wholesale trade accounted for 769 jobs and manufacturing for 616 in that same 2023 LEHD release from the Census Bureau, while transportation and warehousing held 422, or 4.9 percent. Box trucks and day cabs from distribution and plant work qualify too; gather the registration, the title and any service records you kept before you call.
Clear bridges and the pickup spot
The National Bridge Inventory kept by the Federal Highway Administration counts 16 bridges in Wells Branch, with none load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. For pickup, what we need from you is where the truck is parked and how a carrier gets to it.
Mention it at first contact when the truck sits behind an apartment complex, in a shared lot or at a job site down a narrow lane. A photo of the spot it is parked in, showing the way in and out, saves a second conversation on collection day.
Travis County ranch trucks
Cattle, corn and horses lead the 870 Travis County farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallied around Wells Branch. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and the tractors that pull horse and cattle trailers from those operations are trucks we buy, whether they sit in a barn or on pasture.
Ranch trucks often carry a title that has passed through family hands. If the name on it does not match yours, or the title has gone missing, a replacement or transfer comes from the state’s title agency; start that request before the sale rather than after.
Guard post and Army command to the south-west
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists NG Camp Mabry 9.9 miles south-west of Wells Branch and Army Futures Command 12.7 miles south-west. If you service, deliver to or work near either installation and your truck is stored on or beside the site, tell us at first contact so we can confirm the gate rules for a collection visit.
Owners who have been posted elsewhere can leave the truck where it is parked in Travis County. Send the location, the VIN, an odometer photo and a local contact with the keys, and the sale itself can be handled from wherever you now live.
