Eighteen carriers with an Anthony address
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 18 active motor carriers based in Anthony, 10 of them running intrastate only and 8 crossing state lines. If yours is one of the ten that stays inside Texas, the Texas registration and title on the cab are the two papers we ask to see first.
Of those 18 carriers, the federal census counts 4 as private fleets moving their own goods rather than hiring out. A truck from a company fleet is often titled to the business, not the driver, so have the person who signs for the company ready to sign the title when we collect.
Fleet sizes in town are modest: one carrier on the FMCSA register lists 16 power units and 19 drivers, another 6 units and 10 drivers, a third 5 units and 3 drivers. Selling one tractor out of a small yard like these needs only the VIN, the title and a contact who can open the gate for us.
Coil, bulk, hay
General freight, dry bulk, coils and hay
General freight is the cargo 12 of Anthony’s carriers declare in FMCSA’s carrier census, while 4 list dry bulk commodities and another 4 list metal sheets, coils and rolls. Whether your rig is a box-trailer tractor or a flatbed rigged for coil, send photos of the cab, the frame and the trailer connection so we see the setup you ran.
Three carriers here register grain, feed and hay, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 581 farms across El Paso County with cotton, cattle and honey at the top of the list. A farm truck kept on a ranch or a cotton field outside town can stay right there; give us the gate location and we plan the pickup around it.
Across the eight carriers that report mileage to FMCSA, the median tractor logs 42,062 miles a year. Have the odometer reading next to the VIN when you contact us, since those two numbers start every conversation about a truck from Anthony.
Canyon quarries
Stone and sand south and east of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration places Avispa Canyon Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 8.6 miles south of Anthony, and Hitt Canyon Quarry Mine 10.3 miles to the east. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul from pits like these are trucks we buy, and if one is parked at a quarry yard, tell us whose property it is on.
Farther east, the Victorio Sand Pit sits 11.1 miles out and the McCombs Sand Pit 11.7 miles out, both listed by MSHA as sand and gravel operations. Gather any service or inspection records kept at the pit office before collection and hand them over with the title.
Twelve construction outfits operate in Anthony’s ZIP area, per the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. A contractor’s truck sitting on a job site can be collected from that site, as long as someone there knows we are coming and can point us to it.
Drayage between the rail yards southeast of town
Southeast of Anthony, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the Biggs AAF yard at 14.9 miles and the Dallas Street yard at 16.7 miles. A drayage tractor working those yards may be parked in El Paso rather than Anthony, and we collect from either place.
The El Paso intermodal ramp lies 17.4 miles southeast according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and the Energy Information Administration lists the El Paso Terminal for petroleum products at 18.5 miles. For a day cab that pulled containers or a tractor that pulled fuel tankers, send the VIN, the registration and a note on which terminal it served.
Range and routes
Drivers, bridges and roadside checks
In FMCSA’s carrier census, Anthony carriers report 41 drivers running beyond a 100-mile radius and 5 staying within it. A long-haul truck may be sitting in another state when you decide to sell, and the address where it sits is the one we need.
Not one of the 14 Anthony bridges in the National Bridge Inventory is load-posted, and none clears less than 14 feet, so a rollback reaches a yard here without a detour. A tractor-trailer can be reached on these local roads, so tell us the street address and whether the gate fits a rollback.
Across 51 Anthony-based trucks stopped for roadside inspection by FMCSA from September 2024 through August 2026, the median model year is 2016, and 51 percent are ten or more model years old. Bring your most recent inspection report along with the title if you have it on hand.
Title and paperwork for an Anthony sale
Anthony’s population stands at 4,580, and the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 1,460 jobs here in 2023. Many owners selling a truck in a town this size hold the title themselves, so check that the name on it matches the name on your ID before we arrive.
If the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency handles a replacement, and the request is best started before the sale. If a lender once held the title, keep its lien release with the title for the day of collection.
The questions we get asked in Anthony
- My dump truck sits at Avispa Canyon or another pit outside Anthony. Can the dump truck stay at the quarry gate for pickup?Avispa Canyon Quarry is 8.6 miles south of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and a truck parked there or at any pit can stay put. Tell us who controls the yard so we can arrange access.
- I hauled hay and feed out of Anthony. Is an El Paso County hay truck something you take?Three Anthony carriers register grain, feed and hay in FMCSA’s carrier census, and trucks from that work are ones we buy. Send the VIN, the title and photos of the cab and bed.
- My Anthony tractor is parked out of state after a long run. Does it need to come back to El Paso County for collection?Anthony carriers report 41 drivers working beyond 100 miles in FMCSA’s carrier census, so trucks from here are often far from home. Name the town and lot where that tractor stopped, and that is where our driver goes.
- I misplaced the title to the tractor I keep in Anthony; how do I replace it?For an Anthony truck, the state’s title agency issues a replacement title. Start that request first, and keep your registration and any lien release together with it.
