Most trucks sold from here, then, have spent their working life on Texas roads, and a Texas title and current registration are the two papers to find first.
Sixty-four local carriers list general freight on the census FMCSA keeps. Whether yours is a day cab on short freight runs or a tractor that pulled dry vans across the county, send the VIN, the odometer reading and four clear photos: both sides, the cab interior and the plate.
The same FMCSA census counts 21 private fleets here, outfits that haul their own goods rather than freight for hire. If the truck you are selling carried a farm’s or a contractor’s own loads, say which business it served so we know how it was set up.
Produce and cattle
Farm loads out of Zavala County
Livestock haulers, grain trucks and the tractors that pull hoppers off those farms are all trucks we buy, and we collect from the ranch or field gate if that is where it is parked.
Fresh produce is named by 15 Crystal City carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census. A reefer tractor that works the harvest can be sold with or without its trailer; tell us which, and if the reefer unit has service records, keep them with the title so they travel with the truck.
Gravel at Carrizo, minerals at Dimmit Mine
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Carrizo, a sand and gravel operation, 15 miles south of Crystal City. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul from pits like it can be collected on site; give us the gate contact and any site access rules so the pickup fits around the operation.
Dimmit Mine, an industrial-mineral mine 16.7 miles south on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, is the second extraction site close to town. If your truck is parked out there, leave it where it is; give us the address and we arrange collection there.
Oilfield and machinery haulers
Winch trucks, lowboy tractors and heavy-haul units are on our list; note any attached equipment, such as a winch or a wet kit, when you describe the truck.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 123 local jobs in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, 6.4 percent of 1,907 in total. For a truck that has worked lease roads, inspection reports or a record of where it was based help us understand its history, and having none is not a barrier.
Construction holds 210 jobs here, 11 percent of the town’s total on the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts for 2023, and County Business Patterns from the same bureau lists 8 construction establishments. A contractor selling a dump truck, flatbed or boom truck can send photos straight from the yard where it stands.
Transportation and warehousing account for 127 jobs, or 6.7 percent, in those LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. If your truck belongs to a business rather than to you personally, have the person named on the title ready to sign, or a letter showing you can sign for the company.
Model years and miles on local rigs
Whatever the model year of yours, the title, the VIN and the current odometer reading are what we ask for first.
Drivers split between local and long routes too: the census records 106 drivers working within 100 miles and 75 beyond it, so a truck may be parked at home in town or at a yard far from Zavala County, and we collect at either.
The biggest fleet registered here, per FMCSA’s carrier census, runs 49 power units with 19 drivers, and the next two run 7 units each with 8 drivers. Owners selling several trucks at once can send one list of VINs, titles and locations, and we handle each unit from that list.
New registrations in that census came to 6 carriers in 2024 and 6 more in 2025. If you started hauling recently and the title still shows a lienholder, tell us who holds the loan so the payoff and the title release are part of the sale.
