Cuero carriers, in-state and private
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 89 active carriers based in Cuero, and 80 of them are registered to haul only inside Texas, with 9 crossing state lines. If your truck has stayed on Texas roads, have the Texas title in your name and the current registration card on hand before you contact us.
Of those 89 carriers, 49 run as private fleets, hauling their own goods under FMCSA’s census rather than for hire. A ranch, contractor or supply business in Cuero that owns a single truck can sell it the same way a for-hire carrier does: title, registration, and a few photos of the cab and frame.
Fleet sizes vary widely in the FMCSA census: the top three Cuero carriers report 72, 47 and 16 power units. Whether you are letting go of one unit or several from a yard in town, send us the VINs as a list and tell us where each one sits.
Machinery, oilfield and farm loads
General freight is the cargo class most Cuero carriers list, 43 of them by FMCSA’s census, followed by machinery and large objects at 32. If your tractor pulled a lowboy or step-deck for equipment moves, tell us the trailer type too, and whether you are selling the trailer with it.
Nineteen local carriers declare oilfield equipment as cargo in the FMCSA census, and 15 declare farm supplies. A winch truck, a flatbed or a straight truck that served lease roads or feed deliveries is the kind we collect; note any permits or equipment certificates that stay with the vehicle.
Wholesale trade holds 153 of Cuero’s 3,721 jobs and transportation and warehousing 143, going by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Box trucks and day cabs from distribution work are on our list as well, so photograph the body or reefer unit along with the cab.
Dump trucks between Rath Pit and the Thomaston Plant
The Mine Safety and Health Administration records Rath Pit, a sand and gravel operation 7.2 miles south-east of Cuero, and the Thomaston Plant 11.5 miles out in the same direction. A dump truck or end-dump tractor parked at either site can be picked up there; give us the gate contact and the hours the yard is open.
Construction accounts for 95 jobs in town on the Census Bureau’s LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns counts 14 construction establishments. If a contractor’s dump truck is in a shop or behind a fence, tell us who holds the key so pickup is arranged with them directly.
Cattle, deer and corn in DeWitt County
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,533 farms in DeWitt County, with cattle, deer and corn as the leading products. A cattle hauler or grain truck kept on a ranch outside Cuero does not need to come into town; send us the ranch road and a pin for the pasture gate.
Farm-plated trucks still need a title to sell, so check that the name on it matches yours. If the title went missing somewhere on the ranch, say so in your first message so a replacement can be sorted out before collection.
Short-haul miles and model years
Drivers working out of Cuero split 305 within a 100-mile radius and 104 beyond it, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and the 18 carriers reporting mileage show a median of 20,994 miles per truck. Have the odometer reading ready with the VIN when you write to us.
FMCSA roadside inspection records covering 59 Cuero trucks from August 2024 to August 2026 put the median model year at 2016 and the share at least ten years old at 50.85 percent. Whatever year your truck is, list the year, make and model first, then any service records you kept.
The questions we get asked in Cuero
- My end-dump sits at Rath Pit south-east of town; must it come into Cuero first?Rath Pit sits 7.2 miles south-east of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from there. Name the pit operator contact who can let our driver onto the Rath site.
- My truck only ever ran Texas routes; is an intrastate unit handled differently?Eighty of Cuero’s 89 active carriers in FMCSA’s census are intrastate, so it is the usual case here. Have the Texas title and registration ready and the sale goes ahead as normal.
- My cattle truck is parked on a DeWitt County ranch outside Cuero; is the pasture too far out for pickup?With 1,533 farms in the county per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, many trucks here sit on ranch land. Send directions to the gate and we come to it.
