Two posts east
Army Futures Command and Camp Mabry next door
Army Futures Command lies 2 miles east of West Lake Hills, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, which also places NG Camp Mabry 3.6 miles to the north-east. If your truck hauls to or services either installation, keep its gate passes and delivery logs together with the title so the history travels with it.
Those two installations sit closer to town than any terminal or pit on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and federal mine lists for this area. A box truck or flatbed parked near Camp Mabry or elsewhere in West Lake Hills is a simple collection for us; send the street address and say whether a tow truck can reach it.
Tank yards
Two petroleum terminals east of the hills
Tank trucks loading at the AUSTIN PLANT travel 7.5 miles north-east of West Lake Hills to reach it, on Energy Information Administration terminal records. Tankers loading there often park at a yard rather than a driveway, so tell us which lot your tractor or tank truck stays in and whether someone can let us through the gate.
Further out, FLINT HILLS RESOURCES LP- AUSTIN sits 11.3 miles east, again on Energy Information Administration records. For a fuel hauler that has worked between these two terminals, photograph the tank, the hose reels, the cab and the VIN plate, and gather any tank test certificates you hold.
Gravel pits, a quarry and a cement plant to the south and east
Mine Safety and Health Administration records place the Texas Materials Hergotz Plant, a sand and gravel operation, 9.8 miles east of town, with Garfield Sand & Gravel 15.4 miles to the south-east. Dump trucks and end-dump trailers that shuttle between those pits and Travis County job sites are trucks we collect.
To the south, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Buda Quarry, a crushed-stone quarry, at 15.5 miles and the Texas-Lehigh Cement Plant & Quarry at 16.3 miles. Mixers, bulk cement tankers and tri-axle dumps from that corridor may sit at a contractor’s yard rather than in town; give us that location rather than your home address so the pickup goes to the truck.
Hometown payrolls
Who employs truck users in the hills
Of the 5,469 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded in West Lake Hills for 2023, 224 were in construction, a 4.1% share. Contractors with a pickup-and-trailer rig, a stake bed or a small dump can sell it here; bring the title and current registration, and list any attachments that go with it.
Wholesale trade accounted for 102 jobs, or 1.9%, in that same 2023 LEHD tally from the Census Bureau. Delivery box trucks and straight trucks from those distributors qualify as well; service records and a clear photo of the odometer help us answer you without a long back-and-forth.
Spans and pastures
Five spans in town, cattle and corn across the county
Among the 5 West Lake Hills spans in the National Bridge Inventory, that Federal Highway Administration register shows zero weight postings and zero clearances under 14 feet. For a truck parked on a West Lake Hills street or driveway, send the address, the nearest cross street and a photo of the VIN plate.
Travis County holds 870 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and equine operations at the top of the list. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and horse-trailer tow rigs on those properties can be collected right from the barn or field gate, provided you tell us how to find it.
The questions we get asked in West Lake Hills
- Can my dump truck be collected at the Hergotz or Garfield pits rather than at home?The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Hergotz, Garfield, Buda and the Texas-Lehigh plant between 9.8 and 16.3 miles from town, and we collect from pit yards like those as well as from home. Send the site name and gate details.
- The title for my West Lake Hills truck was misplaced; how do I replace it?Sellers in West Lake Hills and the rest of Travis County apply through the state’s title agency for a duplicate. Start that request before contacting us, and tell us it is underway.
- Is a tanker that loads at the AUSTIN PLANT or Flint Hills something you take?Tank trucks serving the AUSTIN PLANT, 7.5 miles north-east on Energy Information Administration records, or the Flint Hills terminal to the east are on our list. Have the title, registration and any tank test papers ready.
- What should I photograph before I send my details?For a West Lake Hills truck, shoot the cab, the VIN plate, the odometer, the frame and whatever body it carries, whether a dump bed, a tank or a box. Add the address where it is parked.
