Oilfield equipment on Andrews County trucks
Of the 306 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Andrews, 119 list oilfield equipment among the cargo they haul. If your tractor has moved rigs, pumps or tanks between leases, tell us the lease road or yard where it sits now, and whether a gate code or a company contact is needed to reach it.
Machinery and large objects appear on the cargo lists of 65 Andrews carriers in the FMCSA census, and 158 carry general freight. A lowboy tractor, a winch truck and a box truck each need different photos: for a heavy-haul unit, show the fifth wheel, the deck and any winch or headache rack along with the cab and the VIN plate.
Thirty-six local carriers, by the same federal registry, list logs, poles, beams and lumber. If your flatbed or pole trailer outfit carried that kind of load, say so up front so our questions are about your exact setup.
Oil, gas and construction jobs in Andrews
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,319 of the 5,862 jobs located in Andrews in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, a 22.5 percent share. Many service trucks here belong to people whose employer runs the lease work, so check whose name is on the title before you contact us; the titled owner is the one who signs.
Construction accounts for 1,160 Andrews jobs, or 19.8 percent, in that same 2023 LEHD release, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 37 construction establishments in the county. Dump trucks, water trucks and pickups from job sites and lease roads all fall within what we buy; have the registration and any service records in one folder when you reach out.
Transportation and warehousing holds 223 local jobs, 3.8 percent, while wholesale trade holds 156, by the LEHD figures. Drivers here who work for an employer but hold the title to their own tractor are the ones who sign for it, not the company they haul for.
The crushed-stone quarry south of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Crusher 101, a crushed-stone quarry, 1.5 miles south of Andrews. A dump truck or end-dump tractor parked at a quarry yard that close can be collected where it stands; tell us whether the yard operator needs advance notice before someone comes in.
If your truck hauled rock out of that quarry, photograph the bed, the hoist and the tailgate as well as the cab and dash, and note the axle setup. Those details let us understand a quarry truck without a trip out to look first.
Big fleets and single-truck outfits side by side
FMCSA’s census lists 230 of the town’s carriers as intrastate only and 76 as interstate, with 121 operating private fleets that haul their own goods. If your truck worked only inside Texas, have its Texas registration current or know where the latest renewal is; an interstate truck should also have its apportioned plate paperwork on hand.
One Andrews-registered fleet reports 538 power units and 595 drivers in the federal motor carrier census, and the next two report 66 and 58 power units. Most of the other carriers are far smaller, often a single owner with one truck; whether you are selling one unit or several, we arrange collection at each location.
Andrews picked up 25 newly registered carriers in 2025 against 12 the year before, on FMCSA’s registration rolls. A carrier that started recently and is now winding down or changing equipment can sell a truck still on a loan; bring the lender’s name and payoff contact so the lien release is handled with the sale.
Miles, radius and model years on Andrews rigs
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 1,152 Andrews-based drivers going past the 100-mile line and 748 staying inside it. If your truck is out on a long job when you decide to sell, tell us where it will be parked; we collect from that spot instead of making you bring it home.
Mileage filed with FMCSA by 82 Andrews outfits puts the typical tractor at 21,244 miles a year. Have the current odometer reading ready along with the VIN, since those two numbers start every conversation about a specific truck.
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records logged 469 Andrews carrier trucks at the scale or roadside; their median model year was 2015, and 54 percent were at least ten model years back. Whatever the model year of yours, send it with the make and model so we know exactly which truck we are talking about.
Cattle and cotton trucks from Andrews County farms
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 149 farms in Andrews County, with cattle, cotton and horses as the leading products. Cattle haulers, module trucks and stock trailer tractors parked out on a ranch can be picked up there; give us directions past the county road and a phone number for whoever opens the pasture gate.
On an Andrews County ranch the cattle truck may sit in a parent’s name or the ranch partnership’s. Before you call, confirm the name on the Texas title matches the person who will sign, and if the title is lost, sort out a replacement with the state before the sale.
The questions we get asked in Andrews
- My winch truck is parked on a lease outside Andrews. Does it have to come off the lease first?With 119 Andrews carriers hauling oilfield equipment, per FMCSA’s carrier census, plenty of trucks here sit out on leases, and we collect from the lease itself. Give us the location and the contact who can let our driver through the gate.
- Can I sell a dump truck that hauls from the quarry south of town?Crusher 101, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 1.5 miles south of Andrews, is the kind of site dump trucks here work from, and those trucks are on our list. Send photos of the bed and hoist along with the cab, plus the VIN.
- What paperwork should an Andrews owner-operator have ready?Most of the 306 Andrews carriers in FMCSA’s census are small outfits, and for any of them the essentials are the title in the seller’s name, the current registration, the VIN and the odometer reading. Oilfield service logs are a plus, not a requirement.
