Rigs, pipe and machinery out of Archer City
Oilfield equipment appears on the cargo lists of ten Archer City carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, while machinery and large objects appear on four and general freight on another four. A winch tractor, a lowboy hauler or a pole truck from that work is the kind of truck we collect. Tell us what it pulled and what is mounted on the frame, and send photos of the bed, the winch and the cab.
Out of 377 jobs counted here in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) place 116, or 30.8 percent, in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction. A truck tied to a lease road or a pad site may be parked out there rather than in town. Give us the lease name or the nearest county road, and a contact who can open the gate, and we plan the pickup around that spot.
Dairy, corn and cotton trucks around town
Around Archer City, 457 farms are counted across Archer County in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, corn and cotton listed as the leading products. Three local carriers name grain, feed and hay as cargo on FMCSA’s carrier census. A grain truck or a feed hauler kept in a barn or a field yard can be sold where it sits; send the address and a photo of the box or the trailer hitch.
Farm trucks often carry farm plates or have sat between seasons. Find the title before you call, and if the registration lapsed, tell us the last year it was renewed. We go over the paperwork with you on the phone first, and then a crew heads out to the farm.
Fourteen of the town’s carriers run private fleets hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and eleven work intrastate only against seven cleared for interstate routes. If your truck belongs to a business that hauls its own equipment, the person signing the title must be the one named on it, so check whether that is you or the company.
The three biggest fleets on FMCSA’s carrier census here hold 19, 10 and 9 power units. An owner selling two or three trucks at once can send one list with each VIN, unit number and parking spot, and we work through them together in a single conversation.
Have the odometer reading ready when you contact us, along with the VIN; most of our follow-up questions start from those two numbers.
Roadside checks between September 2024 and July 2026 covered 25 trucks from this town, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give them a median model year of 2017.
If you have the most recent inspection report or service invoices, photograph them and send them along with pictures of the cab, frame and tires. They show where the truck has worked in a way a listing of features cannot.
Texas titles are issued by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and a copy is requested through the county tax assessor-collector offices. If yours is missing, start that request before you list the truck with us, and keep the receipt to show it is under way.
A truck that still carries a lien needs a release from the lender before the title can pass to us. Ask the lender for that letter early, and send a photo of it with your title so both are on file together.
North-east to the rail
Wichita Falls yards and terminals up the highway
Two Wichita Falls rail yards sit about 23.4 and 23.5 miles north-east of Archer City on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck parked near the yards is as easy for us to reach as one in town, so give us whichever address is current.
About 24.9 miles to the north, the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Wichita Falls. If your tractor pulled fuel trailers from that terminal, tell us which trailer stays with you and which goes with the truck, so the pickup crew knows what to hook up.
