Eagle Pass carriers, mostly in-state haulers
Of the 689 Eagle Pass carriers active on FMCSA’s census, 444 hold intrastate registrations, with 244 set up to run interstate. If your tractor has only ever hauled inside Texas, its Texas title and registration are the two papers to put in the cab before we arrive.
Of those Eagle Pass operators, 70 run private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same federal census. A company truck coming off one of those in-house fleets sells the same way as an owner-operator’s: send the VIN, the name on the title and where the unit is parked.
Eagle Pass added 82 new carriers to FMCSA’s census in 2025, after 48 joined in 2024. Whether your authority is two years old or twenty, have the carrier’s DOT number handy so we can match the truck to the business that ran it.
Coils, machinery and dry bulk off Maverick County roads
General freight is the most common cargo line, listed by 533 local carriers in FMCSA’s census, while 110 list metal sheets, coils and rolls. A flatbed or step-deck tractor that has moved steel coils counts as much as a dry-van unit; photograph the deck, the chains or straps and the headache rack along with the cab.
Sixty-eight Eagle Pass carriers declare machinery and large objects and 60 declare dry bulk commodities, by the federal motor carrier census. If you are selling a tractor with a lowboy or a pneumatic tanker that goes with it, tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale so both titles can be checked together.
Gravel pits, a quarry and the Eagle Pass rail yard
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Alamo Con Prod Eagle Pass S & G, a sand and gravel operation 2.5 miles south of town, and D & D Pit, a crushed-stone quarry 4.5 miles north. An end-dump or tandem dump left at either Maverick County pit is picked up on site, so pass along who holds the gate key and when the scale house opens.
Eagle Aggregate LLC, another sand and gravel operation, lies 7.6 miles north-west on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Out at a site that far from the city streets, a dropped pin and a photo of the access road save a wasted trip for the driver we send.
Some 1.5 miles south-west of the city centre sits the Eagle Pass rail yard, as mapped on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that has shuttled loads between that yard and local warehouses is one we look at; note the address of the lot where it now stands.
Miles, radius and model years in Maverick County
The median Eagle Pass truck logs 41,000 miles a year, going by the 179 local carriers that report mileage to FMCSA. Read the odometer before you call and write the figure down with the VIN; those two numbers open every conversation we have about a truck.
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 510 drivers working within 100 miles of Eagle Pass and 1,661 going beyond that radius. If your truck is out on a long run when you decide to sell, tell us where it will be parked next and we can collect it from that spot instead of Maverick County.
FMCSA roadside inspection records checked 1,400 Eagle Pass trucks from August 2024 to August 2026; their median model year is 2017, and 44.9 percent carry a model year ten or more back. Keep any inspection reports and service records you hold in one folder, since they travel with the truck when it changes hands.
Warehouse jobs, contractors and goat ranches
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 722 of the 10,251 jobs in Eagle Pass in transportation and warehousing, 591 in manufacturing and 220 in construction. A box truck or straight truck from a local warehouse or plant is as welcome as a highway tractor; send photos of the box, the liftgate and the cab interior.
Contractors outnumber warehouse operators 47 to 6 around Eagle Pass, on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tally. For a contractor’s dump truck or water truck, have the title in the company’s name and someone able to sign for the business on the day of collection.
In USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, Maverick County had 234 farms, with goats, cotton and horses leading the list. A farm truck, cattle hauler or flatbed kept out on a ranch can be collected where it sits; tell us how far up a ranch road it is parked.
Three load-posted bridges near the Eagle Pass yards
The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration counts 36 bridges in and around Eagle Pass, 3 of them posted with load limits and none under 14 feet of clearance. Mention the street or ranch road the truck is on so the route to it can be planned around those three posted spans.
None of the 36 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory here sets a low-clearance limit, so height is not the question for a tall sleeper or a loaded rollback here. Weight is the one to flag: tell us if the truck still carries a load, a crane or a bed full of gravel.
The questions we get asked in Eagle Pass
- Can you pick up my dump truck at D & D Pit or Eagle Aggregate?D & D Pit lies 4.5 miles north of Eagle Pass and Eagle Aggregate LLC 7.6 miles north-west, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect trucks from pits like those. Give us the gate contact and the site hours.
- My Eagle Pass truck never left Texas; is it handled any differently?Eagle Pass has 444 intrastate carriers in FMCSA’s census, so intrastate trucks are common here and sell the same way. Have the Texas title and registration ready, along with your DOT number.
- Will you take a flatbed tractor that hauled steel coils?Metal sheets, coils and rolls are listed by 110 Eagle Pass carriers in FMCSA’s census, and those tractors are among the trucks we buy. Send photos of the cab, the frame and the deck if the trailer is included.
- Before the driver reaches my Eagle Pass lot, what should be in the cab?Maverick County sellers should have the title in hand, current registration, and any inspection or service records for the truck. Add the VIN, the odometer reading and clear photos of the cab, frame and tires.
