Pits four and six miles out from West Sharyland
Texan Pit, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 4.1 miles east of West Sharyland, and Tabasco Pit, 6.2 miles to the west on the same federal list, bracket the town. If your dump truck or end-dump tractor loads at either one, tell us which pit it works and whether it is parked on site or at home, and we will plan the collection around that spot.
A truck that spends its days between pit gates usually sits behind a fence after hours. Give us the name of whoever can unlock that gate and a phone number for them, so the pickup does not stall at the entrance.
Before a pickup is booked, send photos of the cab, the bed or body, the tires and the VIN plate, and send them with the odometer reading.
Aggregate crushers
Quarry work west toward Frontera and east to La Havana
Nearly nine miles west, MOBILE CRUSHER #3 FRONTERA MATERIALS appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a crushed-stone quarry; La Havana Pit, another crushed-stone site, is 11.2 miles east by the same agency’s listing. Tractors and tri-axle dumps that haul aggregate from those crushers are trucks we purchase.
If the truck you are selling has rotated between the Frontera crusher and La Havana, tell us where it parks most nights. A location near either site works for us, and the truck can stay there until collection.
Service records from quarry work, if you kept them, can travel with the truck. When there are none, a short note on what the truck hauled and for how long gives us the background instead.
Tankers and containers
North-east to Edinburg, east to the Rio Valley ramp
Fourteen-odd miles north-east of West Sharyland, at EDINBURG, sits a petroleum product terminal listed by the Energy Information Administration at 14.2 miles. Tankers and the tractors that pull them in and out of that terminal belong on the list of trucks we collect, and so do day cabs that run local fuel routes from it.
East along the valley, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records the Donna, TX - Rio Valley rail intermodal ramp at 16.8 miles from town. Owners of container chassis tractors working that ramp can leave the truck where it is staged and send us the address.
For a tanker tractor or an intermodal day cab, start with the VIN and the odometer reading. Our other questions follow from those two figures.
Module and cattle hauls
Gins, feed corn and herds near West Sharyland
Around West Sharyland the farm land is busy: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,045 farms in Hidalgo County, with cotton, corn and cattle as the leading products. Module haulers, grain trucks and tractors pulling livestock trailers from those operations are all trucks we buy.
A cotton module hauler near West Sharyland may wait out the off months beside a shed or a turn-row. Tell us the property address and how a truck can reach it, and we will arrange the pickup at the farm.
If the truck is titled to a farm business rather than to you personally, say so up front so the right person signs the paperwork.
Texas DMV
A lost certificate in the Rio Grande Valley
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles here, and its county tax assessor-collector offices handle requests for a replacement copy. If your title is missing, start that request with the Hidalgo County tax assessor-collector before we schedule the pickup.
Keep the registration with the title, and have a photo ID for the person named on it. Should a lender still be listed, tell us its name and we will explain what release document is needed.
Once the title is in hand, the remaining steps are short: sign where the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles form asks, and hand it over when we collect the truck.
