Nampa’s trucking operators, interstate and in-state
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 753 active carriers based in Nampa, of which 325 cross state lines and 428 stay inside Idaho. If yours is one of the Idaho-only operations, have the state registration and the title in the owner’s name ready, and we can arrange the collection at your yard or home.
Private fleets account for 356 of those Nampa carriers in the FMCSA carrier census, meaning a business hauling its own goods rather than freight for hire. A contractor or farm selling a truck it owns outright only needs to tell us which entity holds the title, so the bill of sale goes to the right name.
New registrations in Nampa reached 61 in 2025, up from 39 in 2024, on FMCSA’s census of carriers. An owner-operator who started in either year and is now selling the tractor should send the VIN, the title and a set of photos of the cab, frame and tires to get things moving.
General freight, produce and heavy machinery
General freight is listed by 425 Nampa carriers in the FMCSA census, with machinery and large objects listed by 201. Lowboys, step decks and the tractors that pull them are trucks we collect, so tell us the trailer type as well as the tractor when you contact us.
Fresh produce is hauled by 135 local carriers and refrigerated food by 119, according to FMCSA’s census. If your reefer unit stays with the tractor or trailer you are selling, note its make and hour reading alongside the truck’s VIN.
Canyon County’s 2,311 farms, tallied in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, are led by milk, then cattle, then corn. A truck that has worked dairies or feedlots out in the county can stay parked on the farm; give us the road address and a gate contact and we plan the pickup there.
Construction, manufacturing and warehousing work
Manufacturing employed 5,955 people in Nampa in 2023 and construction 5,072, out of 51,295 jobs counted by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from those trades are all trucks we buy, and service records help us see how each was set up.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists 917 construction establishments and 5 warehousing establishments for the area. For a contractor with several trucks to sell at once, a simple list with each VIN, its location and who holds the title keeps the paperwork in order.
Transportation and warehousing gave 4,718 jobs in 2023, about 9.2 percent of the local total, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD figures, while wholesale trade accounted for 2,034. Drivers who own their tractor and lease it to a hauler should check whether the lease or a lien is noted on the title before we start.
Gravel pits, the rail yard and the Boise terminals
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Portable Plant #1, a sand and gravel operation 3.7 miles south-west of Nampa, and Cope Sand & Gravel, Inc. about 3.9 miles west. A dump truck or end-dump tractor parked at a pit can be collected on site once the operator agrees to let us in.
Just 0.2 miles south-east of town, the North American Rail Network maps the NAMPA rail yard, and to the north the Emmett Plant mineral processing site sits 19.6 miles away per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Tell us which of these sites your truck served so our questions fit its work.
Two petroleum product terminals at Boise, 15.7 and 15.8 miles east of Nampa, appear in Energy Information Administration listings. Fuel tankers and the tractors that pull them from those racks are trucks we collect, and any tank inspection paperwork should travel with the title.
Nampa tractors at the inspection station: a 2019 median
FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 to August 2026 cover 577 Nampa-based trucks, with a median model year of 2019 and 33.6 percent ten or more model years old. Whatever the model year of yours, the title, registration and a clear photo of the VIN plate are what we ask for first.
Median annual miles per truck stand at 33,407 across 196 local carriers that report them to FMCSA’s carrier census. Send the current odometer reading with your photos so the description we work from matches the truck.
At the top end, FMCSA’s census lists Nampa operations with 185, 157 and 146 power units, staffed by 245, 214 and 94 drivers. A fleet manager retiring several units at once can send them as one list, and we arrange collection unit by unit from the same yard.
Drivers and roads
Local drivers and the bridges they cross
Nampa carriers report 2,033 drivers working within 100 miles and 3,034 beyond that radius, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck is out on a run when you decide to sell, tell us where it will be parked next and we come to that spot.
Of the 64 bridges around Nampa in the National Bridge Inventory, none is load posted and none has under 14 feet of clearance. Give us the exact address where the truck sits and any gate or access details, and the pickup can be planned from there.
The questions we get asked in Nampa
- Can you pick up an end-dump that sits at a sand and gravel pit outside Nampa?Yes, on site. The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Cope Sand & Gravel, Inc. about 3.9 miles west of town, and we can collect from a pit like that once the operator lets us on site. Pass along the pit’s road address and whoever holds the key to its gate.
- I haul milk and cattle for Canyon County farms. Is my truck something you buy?Dairy and feedlot rigs are on our list. USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names milk, cattle and corn as the county’s top products across 2,311 farms, and the tractors, tankers and livestock haulers serving them are trucks we purchase. Keep the Idaho title and current registration with the tanker or hauler you are selling.
