Sell your semi truck for cash in Hobbs the easy and convenient way

In Hobbs, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) put 5,469 of 21,972 jobs in 2023 in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, a 24.9 percent share. If your tractor or winch truck has spent its years on lease roads, it may still be parked at a yard or a pad outside town when you sell it. Give us the lease name or the nearest county road, and say who holds the gate key.

Oilfield equipment is listed as cargo by 238 Hobbs carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 95 more list machinery and large objects. Lowboys, heavy-haul tractors and bed trucks that move pump jacks, tanks and workover gear fit that work. Send photos of the deck, the winch and the cab, plus the registration and the unit number painted on the door.

Well water is the cargo for 71 local carriers, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, which puts water haulers alongside the oilfield fleets around Hobbs. A water truck is sold as a unit with its tank and pump, so tell us the tank’s capacity, the pump make, and whether any permits or tank inspection sheets travel with it.

Lea County also counts 411 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and cotton at the top of the list. A tanker or a straight truck that has split its time between dairy routes and well sites is still one truck to us; list both kinds of work in your first message and attach the title in your name.

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 1,010 active carriers based in Hobbs: 482 running interstate, 527 staying inside New Mexico, and 301 operating private fleets. If you are an owner-operator with one tractor or a contractor whose trucks only serve your own jobs, the paperwork is the same: title, registration and your USDOT number if you have one.

New entrants keep arriving, with 83 carriers registering in 2025 and 78 in 2024 on FMCSA’s census. Selling a truck you bought for a business that has since wound down is straightforward; we need the title, a payoff letter if a lender still holds a lien, and the keys.

Three of the biggest local fleets, by the same FMCSA records, run 188, 123 and 119 power units. Fleet managers selling several units at once can send one list of VINs and yard locations, and we work through them truck by truck.

Across 965 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give Hobbs a median model year of 2015, with 54.2 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whatever year yours is, the VIN tells us the build; put it in the first message along with the engine make.

Mileage is a fact we ask for, not a hurdle. For 346 carriers reporting it, FMCSA’s carrier census shows a median of 19,544 miles per truck a year. A clear odometer photo and any service records you kept let us match the truck to its history.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists an industrial-mineral mine 2.3 miles south-east of Hobbs, the R. S. I. Pit. Dump trucks and end dumps that load at a pit like that can be collected from the pit yard or your own lot, so tell us which.

Rail freight in the area runs through the Lovington yard, which the North American Rail Network places 12.9 miles north-west of town. If your day cab works transload freight up there, we can collect it in Lovington; you do not need to bring it back to Hobbs first.

Drivers here mostly stay near home: FMCSA’s carrier census counts 2,255 drivers working within 100 miles and 1,574 going beyond that radius. If the truck is out on a long run when you call, tell us where it will end up, and we plan the pickup there.

Construction work in Hobbs accounts for 1,561 jobs, 7.1 percent of the total, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau adds 80 construction establishments, and their dump trucks, flatbeds and mixers are all trucks we buy. A mixer or dump body sells with its chassis, so keep that truck’s title and New Mexico registration together in one folder.

Wholesale trade employs 717 people and transportation and warehousing another 483, the LEHD figures show. Box trucks and tractors that run supply orders between yards and job sites around the county can be sold with their liftgates and trailers, so list what goes with the truck.

• My water truck sits on a lease pad outside Hobbs; does it need hauling into town first?Leave the water truck on the pad. FMCSA’s carrier census lists 71 Hobbs carriers hauling well water, and their trucks are often parked at lease sites. Tell us the location and who can open the gate, and we collect it there.
• The title for my Hobbs truck has gone missing; where do I get a new one?Ask New Mexico’s title agency for a duplicate title in your name before the sale. If a lender is still on the title, send us their contact details and the payoff letter.
• Do you buy oilfield trucks, or only highway tractors?We take trucks from the leases and the highway alike: FMCSA’s carrier census shows 238 Hobbs carriers hauling oilfield equipment and 629 hauling general freight, and either kind of truck is welcome. A VIN and a few photos of the rig open the conversation.
• Can I sell a truck that is in Lovington instead of Hobbs?Lovington is fine. The Lovington rail yard is 12.9 miles north-west of Hobbs on the North American Rail Network, and we collect trucks there just as we do in town.
