Dimmitt’s grain, feed and hay carriers
Of the 132 active motor carriers based in Dimmitt on FMCSA’s carrier census, 97 list grain, feed and hay among what they haul. If your tractor has pulled hopper or flatbed loads between Castro County fields, elevators and feed yards, tell us which trailer it ran with and whether that trailer is part of the sale.
General freight shows up on 56 Dimmitt carrier registrations in the same FMCSA census, and 22 list commodities dry bulk. A truck that has done both kinds of work is welcome here; send the VIN, a clear photo of the title, and pictures of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel so we can see the whole unit before we talk about pickup.
Dairies, feedlots and corn ground in Castro County
Cattle, milk and corn top the product list for Castro County’s 415 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A truck that has worked dairies, feedlots or corn ground is often parked on the farm itself, so give us the farm road or gate location and the name of whoever can let our driver in.
Fresh produce appears on 22 Dimmitt registrations in FMCSA’s carrier census, alongside the grain and bulk haulers. If your produce tractor sits at a shed or a field edge outside town, it can stay there; we collect from the spot where the truck is parked rather than asking you to move it.
Intrastate routes, interstate runs and private fleets
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 99 Dimmitt carriers as intrastate only and 33 as interstate, with 25 running private fleets for their own goods. If your truck has stayed inside Texas, the Texas title and registration are the two documents we need first; an interstate unit should also come with its cab card if you still have it.
Drivers tied to Dimmitt carriers split 263 working within 100 miles and 141 working beyond that radius, according to the same FMCSA records. Where a long-haul truck ends up parked away from Castro County, tell us the town and yard it sits in, and we arrange collection there.
Sixty point two percent of the 128 Dimmitt trucks checked at roadside from September 2024 to August 2026 were ten or more model years old, and their median year was 2013, according to FMCSA roadside inspection records. Whatever the year on your truck, have the odometer reading and any service records handy when you reach out; those, with the VIN, answer most of our first questions.
A median of 50,000 miles per truck comes from the forty Dimmitt carriers that gave mileage to FMCSA. Snap the dash reading on your own unit and send it with the VIN, so the miles we discuss are the miles your Castro County truck actually shows.
Several units
When a Dimmitt outfit sells more than one tractor
On FMCSA’s census, Dimmitt’s three leading fleets field 19, 15 and 15 power units against 19, 12 and 8 drivers. If you are letting go of more than one tractor from a yard of that size, list each VIN with its title status and we can plan a single collection for the group.
Five Dimmitt carriers registered in 2025 and three in 2024, per FMCSA’s carrier census. A recently started operation selling its first truck needs the same things a long-standing one does: a title in the company’s name, matching registration and a contact who can sign.
Quarry work and the town’s job base
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Kleeman #2 Mobile Crusher, a crushed-stone quarry, 22 miles east of Dimmitt. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has worked out at that site can be picked up there if the operator allows access, so check with the quarry before you give us the address.
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 864 jobs in Dimmitt in 2023, 54 of them, or 6.3 percent, in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records five construction establishments. If your truck belongs to one of those contractors, the title may be in the business name; bring a document showing you can sign for it.
When a title has gone missing, the replacement comes from the state’s title agency, and it should be in hand before the sale closes. Start that request early and tell us it is underway so we can line up everything else.
The questions we get asked in Dimmitt
- Our grain hauler sits on a Castro County farm road, so does your driver travel out that far?Castro County has 415 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we collect trucks from farms like those directly. Give us the road, the gate and a contact who can open it.
- Mine is a 2013 tractor from a Dimmitt outfit. Does the model year matter to you?A 2013 model is the median year among 128 Dimmitt trucks in FMCSA roadside inspection records, so it is typical of what works here. Send the VIN, a title photo and the odometer figure, and our next questions build on those.
- I hauled out of the crushed-stone quarry east of town. Could your driver collect it on site?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Kleeman #2 Mobile Crusher 22 miles east of Dimmitt, and collection there is possible once the operator agrees to let our driver on site.
- Somewhere between the feed yard and the shop, the title to my Dimmitt grain truck got lost; where does a replacement come from?For a truck titled in Texas, a replacement comes from the state’s title agency; request it, let us know it is on the way, and we prepare the rest of the sale meanwhile.
