Most run a handful of tractors at most, so if you are selling a truck here it is probably parked at your own place, a shop yard or a ranch gate rather than a terminal. Tell us the address and how a truck gets in, and we plan the collection around it.
The three biggest Clarendon fleets in that same federal census run four, three and three power units, with two to four drivers each. Have the title in your name, the current registration and any service records you kept on hand before you call.
Grain, feed and hay appear on the cargo lists of eleven carriers based in Clarendon, the same count that lists general freight, according to FMCSA’s federal census. Seven haul farm supplies and six haul livestock. If your tractor pulled a hopper, a flatbed of round bales or a pot trailer, say which one when you send photos, and tell us whether the trailer goes with the sale.
Around Clarendon, Donley County had 333 farms when USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture was taken, and cattle, cotton and corn led its list of products. A truck that served those operations may sit at a feed yard, a gin or a pasture road at collection time. A pin on a map or clear directions from town help us reach it.
Local hauling and interstate authority in Clarendon
Of the Clarendon carriers in the federal register, 14 operate intrastate only and 10 hold interstate authority, per FMCSA. Whichever describes you, send the USDOT number the truck ran under along with the VIN, so the history of the unit is clear from the first message.
Driver records filed with FMCSA show 9 drivers working within a hundred-mile radius of their Clarendon base and 28 going farther than that. A truck that spends its weeks away may not be home when you contact us. Tell us where it will be and when, and we arrange to meet it there.
Annual mileage reported to FMCSA by ten carriers in town gives a median that comes to 30,048 miles per truck.
Clarendon also counted 712 jobs in 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Whether your truck worked for a farm, a local business or your own authority, a short note on what it hauled and where gives us what we need to ask the right questions about it.
Replacing a missing Clarendon title through the TxDMV
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles here, and copies are handled through county tax assessor-collector offices. If the Clarendon truck’s title is missing, request a certified copy before the sale so the paperwork matches the truck we collect.
If a lender is still shown on the title, bring the lien release with it. Should the name on the title differ from yours, tell us at the start; a Donley County tax assessor-collector office can explain what the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles needs to put it right.
