Van, lowboy and hopper outfits on the Denton County line
General freight is the cargo 86 of Flower Mound’s 135 active motor carriers put on file with FMCSA’s carrier census. If yours is one of those box or van operations, have the title, the current Texas registration and a few photos of the cab and the tractor’s sides ready when you call us.
Seventeen of those Flower Mound carriers declare machinery and large objects, sixteen declare dry bulk commodities and sixteen haul paper products, according to the same federal carrier census. A tractor that has pulled a lowboy, a hopper or a dry van is one we can collect; tell us which trailer it ran with so we know whether a trailer comes too.
Of the registered operators, 87 run intrastate and 46 cross state lines, and FMCSA counts 43 private fleets moving their own goods rather than hauling for hire. A private-fleet truck often carries a company name on the door, so let us know who holds the title before pickup is booked.
Mileage, drivers and fleet size around the town
Among 25 Flower Mound carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA’s census, the median truck logs 30,000 miles a year. Give us the odometer reading and the VIN at the start; those two numbers answer most of what we would ask next.
The federal carrier census lists 124 drivers for local outfits working within 100 miles and 710 working beyond that radius. If your truck is out on a long run right now, we can arrange the pickup at whatever yard or address it returns to.
One Flower Mound operator registers 61 power units and 53 drivers with FMCSA, another 20 units and 26 drivers, a third 13 and 13. Selling several trucks from one yard is a single conversation; send a list of VINs and where each unit is parked.
A 2021 median from the inspection lane
Across 118 trucks checked between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year for Flower Mound carriers at 2021. Newer and older units alike are trucks we buy, so tell us the year, make and model in your first message.
Those same inspection records show 15.25 percent of the inspected Flower Mound trucks were ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on your title, keep your service records and any inspection reports together; they travel with the truck when we collect it.
Fuel terminals, pits and rail yards nearby
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Southlake, 6.8 miles south-east of Flower Mound, and a second Southlake terminal 8.3 miles south. If your tank truck is parked near those racks, give us the gate contact and we will come to it there.
To the north, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records Denton Pits, an industrial-mineral mine 10.3 miles out, and Denton Sand Farm, a sand and gravel operation 17 miles north-east. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors from those pits can be collected on site once you tell us who runs the lot.
Westward 13.8 miles, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Alliance intermodal ramp, while the North American Rail Network shows two Carrollton rail yards 13.2 and 13.5 miles east. A day cab that pulls containers off those ramps needs only its title and registration in hand for us to arrange a collection.
Jobs and businesses that put trucks to work
Wholesale trade accounts for 3,427 of the 37,210 jobs counted in Flower Mound by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, about 9.2 percent. The LEHD figures add 933 construction jobs, 879 in manufacturing and 814 in transportation and warehousing.
Around Flower Mound, 126 construction firms and just 6 warehousing establishments appear in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your truck worked for a contractor and the title is in the business’s name, have an officer of that company ready to sign it over.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,936 farms across Denton County, led by equine, wheat and sorghum operations. A grain truck or livestock hauler parked on a farm outside town is one we can pick up from the property itself.
Clearances on the way to your driveway
A tow rig heading to your Flower Mound address crosses spans the National Bridge Inventory counts at 45, with zero posted for weight and zero lower than 14 feet. Tell us the street address where the truck sits and whether a tow vehicle can reach it, and we will plan the route from there.
With no low-clearance or load-posted spans on that National Bridge Inventory list, a truck parked at a home or shop in Flower Mound can usually be reached directly, so send a photo of the driveway or lot along with the title and registration.
The questions we get asked in Flower Mound
- Our end-dump sits at the Denton Pits lot; does it have to come into town first?It can stay put: the Mine Safety and Health Administration places Denton Pits 10.3 miles north and Denton Sand Farm 17 miles north-east, and we collect at either site once you name who controls the gate.
- My truck runs intrastate only for a Flower Mound private fleet. Can you still buy it?We do, and FMCSA’s carrier census lists 87 intrastate operators and 43 private fleets in Flower Mound; have the title holder named and the Texas registration ready.
