The same census shows 39 Filer carriers marking grain, feed and hay as cargo, and 34 marking machinery and large objects. If your tractor has pulled a hopper, a flatbed or a lowboy between farms and the Twin Falls yard, tell us the trailer type it ran with, and include a photo of the hitch and the deck.
Dry bulk commodities appear on 26 Filer registrations in FMCSA’s carrier census. With a belly-dump or pneumatic rig, send a picture of the fifth wheel and a note of the trailer’s make.
Intrastate work outnumbers interstate in Filer
In FMCSA’s carrier census, 52 Filer registrations run intrastate only, 35 cross state lines, and 37 are private operations moving their own goods. A farm or dairy truck that never left Idaho still sells the same way: bring the Idaho title and the current registration, and we pick it up where it is parked.
Drivers split close to evenly, with 103 working inside a hundred-air-mile radius of home and 122 working beyond it, as FMCSA’s census records them. Across 24 Filer carriers that reported mileage, that same census puts the median at 23,700 miles per truck per year. Have the odometer reading on hand when you call.
The biggest operation registered in Filer runs 33 power units with 26 drivers, the census from FMCSA shows, followed by fleets of 12 and 11 units. An owner selling several tractors at once can send one list of VINs, and we plan the collection of each one from the yard where it stands.
If you started a hauling business recently and are now selling the truck, keep the purchase paperwork and the title together so the transfer goes through cleanly.
Just under a third of them, 32 percent, were ten or more years old in those same inspection records. Whatever the year on yours, send the VIN with clear photos of the cab, the frame and the tires.
Those roadside records also mean an inspection report may already exist for your truck. If you kept a copy, add it to the photos and service records; it is one more document that shows where the truck has been.
The Twin Falls yard and the Ida-Ore mine
Seven miles east of town, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the TWIN FALLS rail yard. Trucks that shuttle loads to and from a rail siding there can stay where they are parked; give us the address and the name of someone who can let us onto the lot.
If your truck is parked at a mine site, ask the operator about access rules before the pickup date and pass them on to us.
Dairy, cattle and corn
Around Filer, Twin Falls County holds 1,169 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and corn as the leading products. Milk tankers, cattle haulers and silage trucks all fit what we collect; a truck sitting at a dairy or a feedlot can be picked up there.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 677 jobs in Filer in 2023, of which 93, or 13.7 percent, were in manufacturing and 68 were in construction. Dump trucks and flatbeds from those firms are trucks we buy too, and a fleet owner can sell one or several.
In Idaho, titles are handled by the Idaho Transportation Department through county Assessor’s Office motor vehicle offices. For Filer, the nearest is Twin Falls – Vehicle Services at 630 Addison Ave W, #1201, Twin Falls, 83301, 5.7 miles from town, according to the Idaho Transportation Department’s own office list.
If the title is missing, that Assessor’s office on Addison Avenue is where a duplicate is requested. Tell us early that you are replacing it, and keep the registration and any loan release in the same folder so the paperwork is complete when we arrive.
