Ranch and feed outfits
Private fleets carry most of Henrietta’s loads
Among Henrietta’s 34 active carriers, FMCSA’s carrier census marks 24 as private fleets moving their own cattle, feed or goods. A ranch pickup-and-gooseneck outfit or a feed business with one tractor fits that picture, and we buy single trucks as readily as several. Have the title and current registration together, and tell us whether the truck is titled to you or to the ranch or business.
Of those 34, the federal carrier census shows 24 operating only inside Texas and 10 authorised for interstate work. Send the USDOT number with your first message so we can match the truck to its registration.
Registrations here are steady rather than sudden: FMCSA records two new carriers in Henrietta in 2024 and one in 2025. If yours is one of those newer authorities and you are winding it down, the truck can still be sold before the authority is closed; keep the registration current until we collect.
Hoppers and pot loads
Cattle, grain and general freight out of Clay County
Sixteen Henrietta carriers list general freight, twelve list grain, feed and hay, and twelve list livestock in their FMCSA carrier census filings. That points to day cabs and conventionals pulling hopper bottoms, flatbeds stacked with round bales, and pot trailers. Tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you, and photograph both if it goes.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 881 farms across Clay County, with cattle, milk and equine at the top of the county’s list. A truck that spends its days on ranch roads and in sale-barn lots is often parked on the place itself; give us the gate, the pasture or barn it sits beside, and a phone number for whoever can let us in.
Eleven local carriers also file for machinery and large objects with FMCSA, which in this county usually means a lowboy or step-deck behind the tractor. If the truck has a wet kit, a winch or a headache rack, list it, and send a photo of the fifth wheel and the deck.
Mine, rail and base
From the Clay County Mine to the Wichita Falls terminals
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Clay County Mine, an industrial-mineral operation, 3.3 miles east of Henrietta. A dump truck or end-dump combination that has worked that site may still be parked near the pit; tell us whether the truck sits inside the mine gate and who on site can sign us in.
West along the road to Wichita Falls, the North American Rail Network shows two rail yards at 18.1 and 18.3 miles, and the Energy Information Administration places a petroleum product terminal 19.2 miles out. A tractor that has run bulk fuel or rail-served freight from those sites can stay where it is parked in Wichita Falls; give us the street address and we plan the collection there.
North-west of town, Sheppard AFB lies 21.2 miles from Henrietta, per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your truck is parked on or beside the base, check whether a visitor pass is needed and let us know before we schedule anything.
Odometers around Henrietta
Fourteen thousand miles a unit, three-truck fleets
Nine carriers here report mileage to FMCSA, and their median comes to 14,000 miles per power unit. Have the odometer reading and the VIN ready when you contact us; those two lines let us look the truck up before anything else is asked.
The carrier census shows Henrietta fleets are small: the three biggest run 10, 9 and 4 power units, with 13, 3 and 2 drivers. A fleet that size selling two or three units at once can list them in one message, each with its VIN, title status and where it is parked.
On the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, Henrietta had 721 jobs in 2023, and County Business Patterns counts 9 construction establishments for the area. A contractor’s dump truck or water truck that served those builders qualifies as well; send any service records you kept along with the photos.
Getting a Clay County ranch truck’s title in order
A Texas truck changes hands on its Texas title, and a lost one is replaced through the state’s title agency before or during the sale. If the title still names a lender, tell us who, and we can work through the lien release with you.
For a ranch or farm truck that has never left Clay County, the paperwork is often just the title and the registration sticker. Send those, four photos of the cab and frame, and the spot on the property where the truck is parked, and that is enough to start.
The questions we get asked in Henrietta
- Our end-dump sits on the Clay County Mine lot east of Henrietta - will you pick it up from the pit?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Clay County Mine 3.3 miles east of Henrietta, and we come to the truck where it sits. Tell us who controls the gate so entry can be arranged.
- Would you take the tractor I use for hauling cattle and round bales around Clay County?Twelve Henrietta carriers list livestock and twelve list grain, feed and hay in FMCSA’s carrier census, so ranch hauling rigs are common here and we buy them. Send photos of the truck and say whether the trailer is included.
- The Texas title for my Henrietta truck has gone missing - what now?With a Henrietta rig, the duplicate Texas title has to come through the state’s title agency before the truck can change hands. Start that request and tell us it is under way; we can plan the rest around it.
