Small fleets on Farmersville’s short haul
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 69 active motor carriers based in Farmersville, and 60 of them are registered as intrastate against 9 that cross state lines. If your tractor or straight truck has only worked California roads, have the California registration and the title in the owner’s name ready before you call.
Private fleets account for 13 of those 69 carriers in the FMCSA census, meaning a packing shed, dairy or contractor keeping trucks for its own goods. If the truck is titled to a business rather than to you, tell us who signs for the company so the paperwork goes to the right person.
The three biggest outfits on FMCSA’s register here operate 8, 7 and 4 power units. With fleets that size, selling one or two units at a time is the normal case; list each VIN separately and send photos of every truck, cab and frame both.
Produce, feed and general freight
General freight is the cargo most often declared, by 31 carriers in the FMCSA census, with fresh produce named by 16. A reefer or produce box truck that has been hauling out of Farmersville’s sheds can come off the books with us; say what body it carries and include the reefer unit’s hours if you have them.
Seven local carriers list farm supplies and another seven list grain, feed and hay, according to the same FMCSA register. Flatbeds, hay trailers and bulk feed bodies fall in that group, so tell us whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind on the ranch.
Milk tops Tulare County’s farm output, ahead of cattle and corn, across the 3,713 farms tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. If your truck sits on a dairy or feedlot outside town, give us the farm address and a gate contact; we collect from where the truck is parked.
Exeter Yard and the quarries east of town
The North American Rail Network places Exeter Yard 4.2 miles east of Farmersville. A day cab that has shuttled loads to and from that yard is close enough that we can usually look at it where it is left; send the street address or the cross roads.
To the north-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Kaweah South, a sand and gravel operation, 8.9 miles out, and Lemoncove Granite, a crushed-stone quarry, 12.4 miles east. Dump trucks and end dumps from those sites should come with the title, current registration and any service records the operator kept.
Further out, MSHA records show Orosi Quarry 17.3 miles north and the Decomposed Granite Pit 20.4 miles south-east. If your rock truck stays parked at a pit between jobs, check that we are allowed on the property, and name someone who can let us in.
Western Milling and tank work to the west
Western Milling LLC appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings as a liquid bulk terminal 12.5 miles west of town. Tank trucks that have loaded there are part of what we purchase; note the tank’s capacity and material, and include any tank test paperwork you still hold.
When a tanker belongs to one of the private fleets on FMCSA’s register, the person selling it is often not the driver. Put us in touch with whoever holds the title, and send photos of the tank, the plate on it and the cab.
Valley routes, local radius and odometers
FMCSA’s carrier census has 38 local carriers keeping drivers within 100 miles, while all 69 report driving beyond that radius as well. Either way, the truck may be at home in Farmersville or parked at a customer’s yard on the day we collect; tell us which.
Eighteen Farmersville carriers filed mileage with FMCSA, and their middle figure came to 40,173 miles per truck each year. Have the current odometer reading and the VIN to hand when you first contact us, since those two answer most of our early questions.
FMCSA records show 5 new carriers registering in Farmersville in 2024 and 5 more in 2025. If you bought a truck to start out and are now selling it, keep the bill of sale with the title so the chain of ownership is clear.
Farm, building and haulage jobs in town
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,759 jobs in Farmersville, of which agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting held 136 and construction held 132. Stake beds, water trucks and dump bodies serve both trades, and we look at each of them.
Transportation and warehousing supplied 75 of those jobs in the LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 11 construction establishments in the area. A contractor closing out a job or trimming a yard can sell several units together; list them and we will go through each one.
The questions we get asked in Farmersville
- Will you pick up a truck that sits on a dairy near Farmersville?Tulare County holds 3,713 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and milk leads its output, so plenty of trucks here live on dairies. Send the farm address and a contact for the gate, and we arrange collection on site.
- My truck has never left California roads. Can an in-state hauler from Tulare County still be sold to you?Sixty of Farmersville’s 69 carriers in FMCSA’s census are registered intrastate, so a California-only truck is the usual case here. Have the California title and registration ready and we work from those.
- Do you buy dump trucks that haul from the Kaweah pits?Kaweah South sits 8.9 miles north-east of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration listings, and dump trucks that serve it are trucks we purchase. Along with the VIN and odometer figure, photograph the dump bed and the frame rails underneath.
- The truck is titled to my business. Who at the company has to put a name on the paperwork?Thirteen Farmersville carriers in the FMCSA census are private fleets, where a business owns the trucks. Whoever is authorised to sign for that business signs the title, and we tell you exactly what we need from them.
