Lease roads and rigs
A town built around extraction work
Of 1,176 jobs located in Eunice in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 450 in mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction, about 38 percent of the total. A truck that has hauled for that work is often parked at a lease road, a yard on the edge of town or a site gate, so tell us the exact spot and whether a loaded trailer is still hitched.
Construction carries 114 of those same jobs and transportation and warehousing another 85, per the LEHD counts, while County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records four construction establishments here. If your dump truck or flatbed worked for one of those outfits, have the registration in the name that sits on the title before you call.
Freight out of Eunice
Oilfield equipment, liquids and heavy loads
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 41 active carriers based in Eunice; 18 list general freight, 13 list oilfield equipment, nine list machinery and large objects, and seven list liquids or gases. Winch trucks, kill trucks, vacuum and tank units and heavy-haul tractors all fit what we collect, so name the body type and the trailer it pulled when you first reach out.
Twenty-two of those carriers run interstate and 19 stay inside New Mexico, according to the same FMCSA registry, and 18 are private fleets moving their own goods. A private-fleet truck may carry a company name on the title, so find out who signs for that company before we schedule a pickup.
Most Eunice drivers stay within reach of town
Drivers on Eunice carriers split 105 working inside a hundred-mile radius and 55 driving past it, as reported to FMCSA’s carrier census. Most of these trucks end the day near town, which makes collection simple; a phone photo of each side, the dash and the VIN plate gives us what we need to start.
Eunice’s median of 16,309 miles a truck each year comes from the 18 local carriers that gave FMCSA’s census a mileage figure. Write the current odometer reading down when you send photos, so the paperwork and the pictures agree.
Registered fleets in Eunice run 28, 27 and 15 power units at the top end, with 22, 27 and 12 drivers, by FMCSA’s carrier census. Sellers letting go of several units at once can list them together, with each VIN and where each one is parked.
On the inspection rolls
Model year 2015 at the middle of the roadside sample
Twenty-nine Eunice trucks were checked between August 2024 and July 2026 in FMCSA roadside inspection records, and their median model year was 2015. Just over 55 percent of that group were ten or more model years old in the same FMCSA roadside records.
If your truck appears in those roadside records, keep any inspection report you were handed at the stop with the rest of the file. Service invoices, annual inspection sheets and the registration card together tell the truck’s story in one place.
Pits and storage nearby
From Jal to the Hobbs pit
South-west of town about 15 miles, the Energy Information Administration lists JAL LPG STORAGE as a petroleum product terminal. Tank tractors that shuttled between Eunice and Jal can be collected from wherever they last parked; give us the gate or yard address and any site access rules.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists an industrial-mineral mine about 18 miles north and a crushed-stone quarry near 23 miles west: the R. S. I. Pit and the Carsbad / Hobbs Pit. Jal Pit, a sand and gravel operation just under 25 miles south-west, is on the same MSHA register. A belly dump or end dump from those runs is one we take, so send the trailer’s details along with the tractor’s.
Avenue K
An MVD office half a mile from the center of town
The New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division lists the NM MVD Field Office - Eunice, about 0.5 miles from the town center, at 1111 Ave. K, Eunice, 88231, as one of the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division’s MVD field offices. If the title is missing or still shows a lienholder, that office is where a Eunice owner applies for a duplicate or a lien release.
Bring the VIN, your registration and a photo ID when you visit the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division counter on Avenue K. A title in your name, signed where the seller signs, is the one document the collection cannot go ahead without.
Barn and feed-yard pickups off the Eunice blacktop
Around Eunice, farm country counts 411 farms across Lea County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and cotton at the top of sales. Livestock haulers, milk tankers and cotton module trucks from those operations are all trucks we collect.
A ranch or dairy truck often sits at a barn or feed yard well off the paved road. Tell us which gate to use and whether a trailer can turn around there, and keep the farm’s title and registration together for the day of pickup.
The questions we get asked in Eunice
- Is there an MVD counter in Eunice itself for a lost title?About half a mile from the town center, the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division keeps its NM MVD Field Office - Eunice at 1111 Ave. K, and a duplicate title is applied for there.
- Will you collect a truck parked at a lease site or a pit outside town?Oil and gas extraction holds 450 of the 1,176 jobs in Eunice on the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts, so many trucks here sit at field sites; give us the location and gate details and we come to the truck.
- Do you take oilfield and tank trucks?Thirteen Eunice carriers list oilfield equipment and seven list liquids or gases in FMCSA’s carrier census, and those body types are trucks we collect.
