Oil country hauling
Oilfield rigs top Electra’s carrier list
Of the 39 active carriers based in Electra on FMCSA’s carrier census, 16 list oilfield equipment as cargo they move. If your truck is a winch rig, a pole truck or a tractor that pulls lowboys out to lease sites, it fits squarely in what we collect here, and we pick it up at the yard or lease road where it is parked.
General freight comes next in that same federal census, with 14 Electra carriers naming it. A day cab or sleeper that has pulled dry vans or flatbeds out of town is just as welcome as a field truck. Before you call, have the title, the current Texas registration and a handful of photos of the cab, frame and tires ready to send.
Wheat, cotton and cattle around town
Electra’s surrounding county counted 632 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, wheat and cotton lead its list of what those farms produce. A grain truck or bobtail that sits in a barn between harvests can be sold from right where it stands; tell us the farm road and gate so the pickup crew can find it.
Eleven Electra carriers haul grain, feed or hay and ten haul livestock, according to FMCSA’s census figures. Cattle-pot tractors and hopper-bottom setups are both trucks we buy. Send the VIN along with a photo of the plate on the door jamb, and note whether the trailer goes with the tractor or stays behind.
Small outfits and home-based private fleets
Twenty of Electra’s carriers operate as private fleets, hauling their own goods, while 22 work intrastate and 16 cross state lines, as FMCSA’s census records them. A rancher’s truck or a contractor’s dump truck that never carried freight for hire still sells to us the same way: title in hand, keys available, and an address where it can be loaded.
The three largest fleets registered in town run 13, 11 and 10 power units, by FMCSA’s count, and four new carriers registered in each of 2024 and 2025. Whether you are parting with one tractor or several units at once, list each VIN and the location of each truck, and we will arrange pickup for all of them together.
Twenty-five inspections, one 2016 midpoint
Twenty-five Electra-based trucks were pulled in for roadside inspections between September 2024 and August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records put their middle model year at 2016. FMCSA’s inspection figures put 52 percent of that group at ten or more model years old. Older and newer units alike are trucks we take, so give us the year, make and model up front.
Seventeen Electra outfits filed annual mileage with FMCSA, and their typical truck covered about 20,000 miles in a year. Read the odometer before you get in touch and include it with your photos; with the model year and VIN it answers most of our first questions about the truck.
Hauling out past the base
Getting a carrier truck in and out of Electra
Around Electra, the National Bridge Inventory records one load-posted structure out of twenty-two, and none with a clearance below fourteen feet. A tall cab or a truck carrying a body can usually be hauled out on local roads, but mention any narrow gate, soft lease road or low barn door at the spot where the truck sits.
Heading east out of Electra, Sheppard AFB sits 24.3 miles off, a distance the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records for the base. The North American Rail Network shows a rail yard called NORTH 24.9 miles in the same direction. If your truck is parked in town, on a farm or out toward those sites, give us the exact address and we come to it.
Replacing a title at the Scott Avenue tax office
Texas titles are issued by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and its local work is done through county tax assessor-collector offices. For an Electra owner, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles lists the Wichita County Tax Office at 600 Scott Avenue, Suite 103, Wichita Falls, 76301, about 25.8 miles from town.
If the title is missing, request a certified copy at that Scott Avenue office before we schedule pickup. Bring photo ID and the VIN, and if a lender was once on the title, bring the lien release too, so the copy comes back clear and in your name.
Payrolls and job sites
Jobs and builders on Electra’s side of the county
Employers in Electra held 482 positions in 2023, on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Three of the area’s establishments are builders, as the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tallies them. A dump truck, flatbed or service body truck that came off a local job site is a truck we buy.
For a work truck with a crane, a dump bed or a service body, photograph the equipment as well as the chassis and note whether it is mounted or removable. If the truck is titled to a business, the person signing the title should be the one listed for that company.
