Pipe, coil and freight out of Breckenridge
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 127 active carriers registered in and around Breckenridge, and 54 of them mark oilfield equipment among the cargo they carry. A winch truck, a gin-pole rig or a tractor that has pulled pipe and pump jacks across Stephens County is exactly the kind of truck to tell us about; name the leases or yards it served and send the VIN.
General freight is the cargo listed most often in that same FMCSA census, by 57 carriers, with 41 hauling machinery and large objects and 33 hauling metal sheets, coils and rolls. If your flatbed or step-deck has carried coil or heavy machinery, include photos of the deck, the chains and binders and the headache rack.
New registrations show up in the federal file too: FMCSA’s carrier census counts 7 carriers added here in 2025 and 2 in 2024. If you started hauling recently and the operation has changed course, a truck bought within the last couple of years sells the same way as an older one; have the title and the purchase paperwork together.
Mostly intrastate, with private fleets in the mix
FMCSA’s census shows 103 carriers here running intrastate and 23 interstate, and 47 hauling their own goods for their own businesses. A truck that never left Texas will usually still be sitting in Stephens County when we come for it, so give us the yard address and a name for whoever holds the keys.
The FMCSA census also counts 129 drivers working within 100 miles of their base here and 181 working beyond it. If your truck is parked out on a run rather than at home in Breckenridge, tell us the town where it sits; collection happens there, and you do not need to bring it back.
Among the 29 local carriers that report annual mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 50,000 miles a truck. Read the odometer before you call and include it with the VIN, since those two numbers answer most of the first questions we ask.
Big tractor fleets and lone owner-operators
The three biggest carriers registered around Breckenridge run 39, 36 and 31 power units, with 25, 30 and 18 drivers respectively, on FMCSA’s carrier census. A fleet manager clearing several tractors at once can send one list of VINs with the location of each unit, and we will work through them together.
Most of the 127 carriers counted by FMCSA here are far smaller than those three. An owner-operator selling a single truck should have the Texas title in the name on the registration, plus any service records kept in the cab or the office.
Whatever year yours is, the model year, make and engine listed on the title or registration are what we need first.
Of those 112 stopped trucks, 75.89 percent carried a model year at least ten years back, by the same FMCSA inspection file. Older tractors and straight trucks are on our list just as newer ones are; send clear photos of the cab, both sides, the frame and the tires so we see the truck as it stands.
Plant, oilfield and building-trade work in Breckenridge
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 1,880 jobs in Breckenridge in 2023, with 306 in manufacturing, 169 in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, and 166 in construction. Trucks serving those employers range from service rigs to dump trucks to flatbeds; tell us which of them yours worked for so we know the body and equipment to ask about.
A dump truck, water truck or equipment hauler coming off a contractor’s job site can be collected at the site itself, once you send the gate details and a contact on the ground.
Pit and pasture
The Wimberley quarry and Stephens County farms
About 5.9 miles south-east of town, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Wimberley crushed-stone quarry. If your dump truck or end-dump trailer rig is parked at or near the pit, give us the quarry road and whoever can let a driver in.
Stephens County had 454 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and soybeans as the leading products. Cattle haulers, grain trucks and farm-plated tractors are trucks we buy too; have the title, and if the farm plate is in a different name from the title, say so when you get in touch.
