Lowboys, bed trucks and the East Texas oil patch

Oilfield equipment shows up on 89 Kilgore carrier registrations and machinery or large objects on 66, out of 215 active outfits in FMCSA’s carrier census. If your tractor has pulled a lowboy or a float to well sites, tell us the trailer type it worked with and send a photo of the fifth wheel and the deck hookups along with the cab.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 place 1,373 Kilgore jobs in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, which is 13.1 percent of the 10,460 total. A winch truck or a bed truck parked at a lease road or a pipe yard can be collected where it sits; give us the gate contact and the county road, and keep the title and registration together in the cab folder.

Freight and timber

General freight, lumber and wholesale hauling

General freight is the cargo 110 local carriers report to FMCSA, and 35 more list logs, poles, beams and lumber. A log truck with its bunks and stakes still fitted, or a dry van tractor that ran distribution routes, both fit what we purchase, so describe the body or trailer setup in your first message.

Wholesale trade accounts for 1,258 jobs and manufacturing for 1,405, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts for 2023. Box trucks and day cabs from plant and warehouse fleets usually come with maintenance logs from the shop; have those, the VIN and an odometer photo ready when you reach out.

Who stays in state, who crosses the line, who hauls their own goods

FMCSA’s carrier census splits the Kilgore carriers into 123 that operate intrastate only and 91 authorised for interstate work, with 98 running private fleets for their own goods. An intrastate truck may carry Texas-only markings and permits; note them, and let us know whether the DOT number on the door is being kept or closed.

Drivers working for local carriers number 782 inside a 100-mile radius and 2,082 beyond it, on FMCSA’s census figures. Across 83 carriers reporting mileage, the median per truck is 24,381 miles a year in that same census. If your sleeper is out on a run, we can arrange collection once it returns to a yard in or around Kilgore.

What the scale-house inspectors wrote down about local tractors

Between August 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 640 trucks from Kilgore-based carriers, and FMCSA roadside inspection records give 2019 as the middle model year among them. A model year ten or more back applied to 33.75 percent of those 640 stops, per the same FMCSA roadside inspection records. Whatever the year on your title, send the registration and a clear shot of the VIN plate so the details line up from the start.

The three biggest fleets based here run 991, 357 and 312 power units by FMCSA’s census, and owner-operators with a single tractor sit alongside them. If you are selling several units from a fleet, a list of VINs with where each one is parked lets us plan one collection trip instead of several.

Sand pits up the road and fuel racks to the north-west

A & T Sand and Gravel, listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies 5.7 miles north-east of Kilgore, and the same agency records the Troup Plant mineral processing site 24.1 miles south-west. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has worked either site can be picked up from the pit lot or your own yard; tell us which.

The North American Rail Network shows the Union Pacific Longview Yard 10 miles north-east and the BNSF Longview Yard at 10.3 miles. Twenty miles north-west, the Energy Information Administration lists the Big Sandy petroleum product terminal. A tractor that shuttled to these yards or loaded fuel at Big Sandy is welcome; mention any hazmat endorsement paperwork tied to the truck.

Clearances, builders and cattle country

The National Bridge Inventory counts 77 bridges around Kilgore, with one load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. A tall van or a loaded flatbed can reach most addresses here, so give us the street location and any access limits at the gate.

County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 41 construction establishments, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 403 farms in Gregg County, mostly cattle, equine and honey operations. Livestock haulers, flatbeds and dump trucks from those outfits can be collected on the farm or at the job site; hold off signing the title until we have confirmed the details together.
