Selling a truck in Del Rio? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Pits west of town

Gravel pits on the west side of Del Rio

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Amistad Sand & Gravel 4.4 miles west of Del Rio and Del Rio Pit & Plant #87 at 5.2 miles west. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that load at those two pits are trucks we buy, and if yours is parked at either site we can collect it there once you tell us who controls the gate.

With a pit truck, photograph the bed, the hoist and the tailgate as well as the cab and the plate on the door jamb. Have the Texas title in your name ready, and tell us at the start if a lender still holds it.

Freight, coil, machinery and feed on Del Rio rigs

Of the 264 Del Rio carriers active in FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is the cargo checked by 185. If you are selling a van or reefer tractor from one of those outfits, start with the VIN, the odometer reading and a photo of each side.

Coil and sheet metal shows up on 41 local carrier registrations, while 34 list machinery and large objects, according to the same FMCSA census. Flatbed, step-deck and lowboy tractors fall in those groups; if the trailer goes with the sale, send its VIN and title too.

Grain, feed and hay appear on 27 carrier filings in FMCSA’s census. If your truck has hauled feed out to ranch country, tell us where it sits now, whether on a ranch road or in town, so the pickup can be planned for the ground it is parked on.

Owner-operators and small fleets in Del Rio

Of Del Rio’s registered carriers, 176 operate intrastate only and 86 cross state lines, with 60 running private fleets that haul their own goods, per FMCSA’s carrier census. For an intrastate truck, the Texas registration and title are the two documents we ask to see; an interstate tractor should also have its cab card and any IRP paperwork in the folder.

The three biggest fleets on record here run 47, 24 and 24 power units, as FMCSA’s census figures show. If you are selling several units at once, list each VIN on one message and we will handle them as one collection.

New registrations went from 18 carriers in 2024 to 27 in 2025 in FMCSA’s census for Del Rio. A recently started operation that is closing down, or trimming a truck it bought for a contract, can sell with a title still showing a lienholder; give us the lender’s name and we will work the payoff paperwork with you.

The 2016 median and the miles behind it

Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covering 364 trucks checked between August 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2016, and 50.3 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the year on your tractor, send it with the make, model and engine so we know which truck we are looking at.

Among 79 Del Rio carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, the median was 30,000 miles per truck in a year. Have the current odometer reading and any service records ready; a maintenance log tells us the truck’s history in a way photos alone cannot.

Base and roads

Laughlin AFB and the roads around it

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Laughlin AFB 8.1 miles east of Del Rio and the Laughlin Recreation Annex 11.5 miles to the north-west. If your truck is parked near either installation, check whether it sits behind a gate that needs a pass and tell us before we schedule, so the collection driver is not turned away.

Del Rio has 32 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory, with none load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. Tell us if the truck is on a private yard or a ranch lane rather than a public road, since that is the part of the route we cannot look up.

Manufacturing, building and ranching in Val Verde County

Manufacturing accounts for 1,624 of the 14,350 jobs located in Del Rio, or 11.3 percent, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, while construction holds 365 and transportation and warehousing 281. A box truck or straight truck that has served a plant here is one we buy, so include its gross weight rating and body type when you write.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 58 construction establishments and 7 warehousing establishments in the county. Contractors selling a dump, flatbed or service-body truck should have the title, registration and a photo of the upfit ready, plus the key and any spare.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 333 farms in Val Verde County, with cattle, goats and sheep the leading products. A ranch truck can be collected where it stands on the property; tell us the gate code or a contact and the distance from the county road.
