Tin Top Road
Tin Top sand and gravel, just below Western Lake
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Tin Top Sand and Gravel Plant 2.3 miles south of Western Lake. A dump truck or end dump that hauls out of a pit like that is the kind of truck we buy, and it can stay at the yard or at your house for collection; give us the address and tell us whether a tractor can get in and back out.
Farther along in the same direction, Granbury Mine shows up in federal mine records as another sand and gravel operation, 7.5 miles to the south-east by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing. If your truck splits its days between both pits, say which one it usually sits at, and send photos of the bed, the tailgate and the cab so we see the whole truck before we talk.
Quarry belt, westbound
Crushed stone along the road to Weatherford
Weatherford Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, lies 13.2 miles west according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and Grindstone, another crushed-stone quarry, is listed 17.4 miles out in that same direction. Owners running belly dumps or tri-axle dumps on those routes can reach us with the VIN, the odometer reading and a few clear photos taken in daylight.
North-west of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Millsap Shale Mine, an industrial-mineral mine, 13.8 miles away. A truck that has hauled shale should come with whatever loading tickets or site passes you still keep in the cab; they help us understand the work it did, and if you have none, describe the hauling to us instead.
Dimension-stone quarries south-west toward Granbury
Two dimension-stone quarries sit south-west of Western Lake: Granbury Quarry at 10.3 miles and Smith Pit at 18.5 miles, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Flatbeds and tractors that move cut blocks out of quarries like these fit what we purchase, and so do the trailers that go with them if you want to sell the pair.
When a flatbed has spent time in a quarry, tell us whether it is parked on hard ground or on the quarry floor. Knowing where it sits lets us plan the right equipment for the pickup, and you do not need to move it anywhere first.
Tank trucks loading at Aledo
Tank trucks and tractors that pull fuel trailers from a terminal like that are on our list, whether you run one unit or a small group.
For a fuel hauler, gather the registration, the title and any tank inspection reports you have kept before you contact us. Those papers travel with the truck when we collect it, so having them in one folder keeps the handover simple.
Horse and cattle haulers around Western Lake
Horses, cattle and sheep top the livestock list in Parker County, which counted 4,379 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Western Lake owners with a stock trailer tractor or a cattle hauler can sell it from the ranch; we collect from pastures and barns as readily as from a paved lot.
If the truck has pulled horse or cattle trailers, mention it when you first get in touch, and include photos of the fifth wheel or hitch along with the cab and frame.
A lost title and the Weatherford courthouse annex
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Western Lake that is the Parker County Tax Office at the Courthouse Annex, 1112 Santa Fe Dr, Weatherford, 76086, which the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles places 8.8 miles from town. A seller missing the title can request a certified copy there.
Have the title in hand, or the certified copy from the annex, along with the current registration and a photo ID. If a lender still holds a lien, tell us at the start so the release can be part of the plan.
The questions we get asked in Western Lake
- Can my hauler be collected straight from a pasture outside Western Lake?Ranch ground is common around Western Lake, where Parker County’s farms lead with horses, cattle and sheep in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we collect trucks from pastures and barns. Tell us the address and how a tractor reaches the truck.
- Do you buy fuel tank trucks from around Aledo?Aledo, north-east of Western Lake, has a petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list, and the tank trucks that load there are trucks we buy. Put the Texas title, the registration and your tank inspection reports in one folder for the Aledo-area pickup.
