Houston's port and refineries keep a steady run of tractors and tank trucks on I-10 and I-45. Out west, the Permian Basin runs on vocational iron — winch trucks, vacuum trucks, water haulers and the pickups and duallys that get crews to the lease. The Panhandle and the Valley add farm and ranch trucks on top of that.
That mix is why we don't specialize. A well-kept Cascadia coming off a Dallas lane, a Kenworth day cab out of Houston, a Mack Granite off a Midland pad or an F-350 dually out of Lubbock all get the same treatment: send us photos and details, we send an offer, and if you like it we can come to you, buy it remotely, or you can drive it to us — whatever's easy.
In Texas the gross weight limit is 80,000 lb (Tex. Transp. Code § 621.101). In Texas the tandem axle weight limit is 34,000 lb (§ 621.101).
The Texas salvage line runs in the seller’s favour. A truck is branded salvage only where the cost of repairs exceeds its actual cash value immediately before the damage — effectively the whole value, with no percentage in the test. Repainting and sales tax come out of the repair figure first. On an older truck with cosmetic damage that is the difference between a brand and no brand. Emissions inspection is not a step for a diesel truck in Texas. The state exempts diesel vehicles outright.
