Eastland Quarry, a crushed-stone operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine rolls, lies 9.6 miles east of Cisco. A dump truck or tractor that hauls rock out of that pit may be parked at the quarry gate rather than in town, so give us the site name and who holds the key, and we will arrange the pickup there.
Further out on the same eastern road, Impact Rover #1 is another crushed-stone quarry, 13.7 miles from town according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Owners whose trucks split time between the two pits should send the VIN, the title and a few photos of the bed, frame and cab before we schedule anything.
Builders in the county lean on that stone too: County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 20 construction establishments in the area. If your truck delivered aggregate to job sites, note where it sits now; a yard behind a contractor’s fence needs a contact who can open it.
Of the 73 active carriers that FMCSA’s carrier census places in Cisco, 38 list general freight, 27 list machinery and large objects, 20 haul oilfield equipment and 18 carry farm supplies. Lowboys, flatbeds, winch trucks and day cabs all come out of a mix like that, and each of them is a truck we will look at.
Most of these outfits stay inside Texas: the carrier census shows 55 intrastate operators against 18 that cross state lines, and 36 running private fleets for their own goods. A truck registered only in Texas still sells the same way; bring the Texas title and current registration and we handle the transfer paperwork with you.
Fleet sizes here are modest, by FMCSA’s own registrations: the biggest Cisco operator reports 16 power units and 12 drivers, the next 12 power units and 3 drivers, and the third 8 power units with 3 drivers. If you are thinning a small fleet like one of these, list each unit by VIN so we can look at the trucks one at a time.
Oil and pipe
Oilfield work and Cisco employers
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,308 jobs in Cisco, with 93 of them, 7.1 percent, in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction. Trucks tied to that work, such as pipe haulers and bed trucks, often stay on a lease road between jobs, so tell us which county road reaches it.
Manufacturing holds 138 of those jobs, or 10.6 percent, under the same LEHD figures. A box truck or tractor that served a plant in town should come with its maintenance or inspection records if you kept them, since they show what the truck has done better than a description can.
With 20 carriers in the FMCSA census listing oilfield equipment as cargo, rigs from that trade turn up here regularly. Have the title in the name of whoever is signing, and if the truck sits on a company lease, say who can sign it out.
Stock trailers and the pickups and tractors that pull them often live out on a ranch, and we come to the ranch rather than asking you to haul in.
Eighteen Cisco carriers in the FMCSA register carry farm supplies, from feed to fencing. If your truck did that kind of work, send a photo of the title, a shot of the VIN plate, and the ranch gate location, and keep the registration handy for the day of collection.
Whatever the model year on yours, the steps are the same: title, registration, VIN and photos.
Put the current odometer reading in your first message along with the engine make, and we can line up the rest of the questions from there.
A truck sold here needs a clear Texas title signed by the owner on record; if it has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a replacement, and it helps to start that before you contact us. Liens should be released in writing by the lender listed on that title.
New outfits keep forming in town as well, with FMCSA’s census logging 6 new carriers in 2025 and 2 in 2024. An owner who registered recently should still have the purchase documents and the USDOT number at hand, and those belong in the folder with the title.
The questions we get asked in Cisco
- Do you take oilfield trucks from Cisco carriers?Twenty Cisco carriers in FMCSA’s census haul oilfield equipment, and their winch trucks, bed trucks and pipe haulers are all trucks we look at; send the VIN and photos to start.
- Can you collect a stock trailer and truck from a ranch outside town?Eastland County has 1,210 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, mostly cattle, horse and goat operations, and we pick up on the ranch; give us the address and directions to the gate.
