Mixed freight, moving vans and coil out of Fulshear
General freight is named by 117 of the 144 active Fulshear carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census. If your tractor or box truck spent its working life on mixed freight, have the title in your name and the current registration together before you reach out; those two papers are the first things we ask to see.
Household goods appear on 15 Fulshear carrier registrations in the federal carrier census, and steel sheets, coils and rolls on 14. Moving vans and flatbeds rigged for coil are both trucks we collect from this corner of the county; send photos of the body or deck as well as the cab, so the setup you built shows up next to the VIN.
Split evenly, 72 of the town’s carriers run interstate and 72 stay inside Texas, according to FMCSA, with 19 more operating as private fleets that carry their own goods. A private-fleet unit titled to a business needs the signature of whoever can sign for that company, so line that person up early.
Where trucks go
Short runs, long runs and where the truck is parked
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 117 Fulshear drivers working within 100 miles of home and 171 going beyond that radius. A truck on long hauls may be sitting at a yard out of state when you decide to sell; give us that address rather than driving it back, and we will plan collection where it stands.
Among the 38 carriers that reported their annual miles to FMCSA, the median truck logged 52,716 miles. Write down the odometer reading the day you photograph the truck, so the figure you give us matches what our driver reads at pickup.
The three biggest fleets on file with FMCSA here run 20, 17 and 14 power units, with 7, 17 and 12 drivers respectively. An owner retiring several tractors at once can list every VIN in one message, and we will arrange the units together.
2017 is the median year at Fulshear roadside stops
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records logged 114 inspected trucks tied to Fulshear carriers, with a median model year of 2017. Keep the most recent inspection report in the cab folder with the registration; it lists the VIN and plate in one place.
Of those 114 Fulshear trucks, 40.35 percent were ten or more model years old when stopped, per the same FMCSA roadside inspection records. Whatever year your truck is, tell us the make, model and year up front, and include any service records you still have from the shop that kept it on the road.
Gravel and minerals
Aggregate sites north and south-east of town
Richmond Material Co, a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 13.9 miles south-east of Fulshear. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that cycle between pits like this one and job sites are trucks we buy; if yours is parked at the pit, tell us who controls the gate.
North of town, MSHA records place the Hockley Mine, an industrial-mineral mine, 19 miles out and the Hockley Plant, a sand and gravel operation, 19.2 miles away. A truck left at either site after its last load can be collected from there, provided someone can meet our driver and hand over the keys.
Drayage south to Kendleton, transloads west at Sealy
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists an intermodal ramp at Kendleton 17 miles south, and the North American Rail Network shows Kendleton Intermodal, a rail yard, 16.8 miles out. Fifteen Fulshear carriers name intermodal containers as cargo in FMCSA’s carrier census, so a day cab used for drayage off that ramp fits right in with what we take; send the VIN and the chassis setup with your photos.
Seventeen miles west, the Sealy rail yard appears in the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and BTS. If your truck worked transloads at Sealy and is still parked there, a yard contact and the plate number are what our driver will need on arrival.
Contractors, distributors and county ranches
Of the 2,391 jobs counted in Fulshear by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, 117 were in construction and 52 in wholesale trade. Builders account for 36 Fulshear business establishments on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, beside the jobs tally above. A contractor selling a dump body, flatbed or service truck should have the company title and a board member or owner able to sign it.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,233 farms across Fort Bend County, with cattle, rice and cotton leading the list. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and farm flatbeds sitting on a ranch or field lot can be collected from the property; tell us how the driver reaches the truck from the road.
The questions we get asked in Fulshear
- Our end-dump sits at the Richmond Material Co pit. Can your driver load it out from the pit rather than from town?Richmond Material Co sits 13.9 miles south-east of Fulshear on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from the pit itself. Give us the site address and the name of whoever opens the gate.
- I run household goods out of Fulshear. Do you buy moving vans?Fifteen Fulshear carriers list household goods in FMCSA’s carrier census, and their vans and straight trucks are on our list. Send photos of the box interior and the liftgate along with the cab.
- My tractor pulls boxes off the Kendleton ramp. Which papers and details do you want from me?The Kendleton intermodal ramp, 17 miles south on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list, is a pickup point we can reach. Have the title, the registration and the VIN to hand, and tell us whether the truck is at the ramp or at home.
- Is a newly registered carrier able to sell a truck?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 28 new Fulshear carriers registered in 2025 and 18 in 2024, and a new operation sells a truck the same way an older one does. The person named on the title signs, and the registration goes with it.
