Freight, oilfield loads and farm supplies off the Burkburnett roll
Of the 31 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census for Burkburnett, 14 list general freight, 8 list machinery and large objects, 6 list oilfield equipment and 5 list farm supplies. That mix points to flatbeds, lowboys and tractors as much as box trucks, so tell us the body or trailer type along with the VIN when you first get in touch.
The same federal census splits the town’s carriers into 18 intrastate and 12 interstate operations, with 17 running as private fleets that haul their own goods. If your truck carried a company’s own freight under a private registration, have the registration card and title in the name that appears on them before we arrange collection.
New authorities keep appearing on the Burkburnett roll: FMCSA records 4 carriers registered in 2025 and 1 in 2024. Whether you hold one Burkburnett tractor or several, send photos of the cab, frame and tires with the title details.
Single tractors to mid-sized fleets
The biggest fleet based in Burkburnett runs 30 power units with 20 drivers, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by fleets of 6 units with 5 drivers and 5 units with a single driver. Owners selling several units at once can send one list of VINs, and we work through the titles together rather than truck by truck.
Driver radius figures from FMCSA show 36 drivers working within 100 miles and 49 working beyond it. If your truck is parked out on a route rather than at home, give us its current address and the name of whoever can let us reach it.
Half of the six Burkburnett carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA log under 30,506 miles per truck a year, and half log more. Have the odometer reading ready when you call; it is one of the first figures we ask for, alongside the VIN.
Sheppard AFB, the fuel terminal and the rail yards
Sheppard AFB lies 7.3 miles south-east of town on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map of military installations. Trucks that have served contracts on or around the base often sit in a yard near the gate road, and we can collect from there if you tell us who controls access.
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Wichita Falls, 10.4 miles to the south-east. If your tractor has pulled fuel loads out of that terminal, keep its tank inspection paperwork with the title so both arrive together.
Two rail yards, North at 10.7 miles and WTJR North at 11.1 miles, appear on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck that shuttles freight to those yards can be picked up wherever it last parked, whether in Burkburnett or down toward Wichita Falls.
Thirty-two crossings with no posted limits
The National Bridge Inventory records 32 bridges in and around Burkburnett, and none of them carries a load posting. The National Bridge Inventory also lists none of the 32 under 14 feet of clearance; tell us the street where the truck sits and we route our trailer to it.
When you describe where the truck is parked in Burkburnett, mention the nearest cross street and whether a lowboy can pull alongside it. Add a phone number for whoever holds the gate key.
Factory, crew and cattle-and-wheat trucks
Burkburnett counted 2,335 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with 177 in manufacturing, 106 in construction and 72 in transportation and warehousing. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from those trades are all trucks we purchase, and a service log or inspection record helps us read the truck’s history.
Builders and site contractors account for 16 Burkburnett establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, each a likely owner of a dump truck or flatbed. A contractor winding down a crew can sell the trucks from the job yard; we just need the title for each unit and a contact on site.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture puts 632 farms in Wichita County, with cattle, wheat and cotton at the top. Farm trucks parked at a barn or pasture gate north of town can stay put; send the location and photos and we come out to the field.
