A tractor from one of those Texas-only outfits is usually parked at a yard, a ranch gate or the owner’s home in Brooks County, so give us that address and we plan the pickup there.
Only 3 Falfurrias carriers hold interstate authority on the FMCSA carrier census, while 13 are listed as private fleets hauling their own goods. If your truck belonged to a private fleet, bring the title, the current registration and any service book that stayed with the cab.
One Falfurrias operation runs 20 power units with 16 drivers on FMCSA’s carrier census, and two others each list 3 trucks and 3 drivers. Small operators selling one tractor and a fleet clearing several units go through the same steps: VIN, photos of each truck, and the title in the seller’s name.
Oilfield hauling in the Brooks County patch
Mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction account for 243 of the 1,459 jobs counted in Falfurrias in 2023, or 16.7 percent, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES). Winch trucks, flatbeds and bed tractors that served lease roads are trucks we buy, and a list of the leases or operators the truck worked for helps us understand its use.
Ten local carriers carry oilfield equipment, by FMCSA’s carrier census. If your rig is still staged at a lease site or pipe yard, tell us who controls the gate and send photos of the bed, the winch and the cab so we know what we are coming to collect.
Ranch freight
Cattle, feed and hay trucks
Cattle pot tractors and feed trucks from those operations often sit at a pasture gate or barn, so describe the ground and the access road when you reach out.
Eight Falfurrias carriers are listed for grain, feed and hay on FMCSA’s carrier census, and eight more for machinery and large objects. A lowboy tractor that moved equipment between ranches or a hay hauler kept on family land can be sold from where it stands; have the title and registration at hand before the collection day.
General freight and the local road network
Nineteen Falfurrias carriers are registered for general freight on FMCSA’s carrier census. Day cabs and sleepers from that work are welcome, and a clear photo of the odometer plus the VIN plate gets the conversation started.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places King Ranch, listed as a military installation, 21 miles north of Falfurrias. Trucks that worked runs between Falfurrias and points north along that stretch can be collected at either end, wherever the truck is parked today.
New and building
New carriers and construction work
An owner who started out recently and now wants to sell a truck needs the title in hand; if it is lost, request a duplicate from the state’s title agency before we arrange collection.
Construction made up 58 jobs here in 2023, 4 percent of the local total on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and County Business Patterns lists 3 construction establishments. Dump trucks and equipment haulers from those firms qualify, and maintenance invoices kept in the cab help us follow the truck’s history.
