Lease roads, rigs and winch trucks
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 place 970 of Levelland’s 6,358 jobs in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, a 15.3 percent share. Winch trucks, pole trucks and the tractors behind lowboys come out of that work, so if yours hauled rigs or tanks between leases, tell us the body type and the attached equipment when you first get in touch.
Under FMCSA’s carrier census, 52 of the 164 active carriers based here list oilfield equipment as a cargo they move. A truck like that is often parked at a yard on the edge of town or out on a lease rather than at a house, so give us the location and the name of whoever can let us through the gate.
Keep the Texas title in the owner’s name and the current registration with the truck. Bring any winch or gauge inspection records as well; they show us what was fitted to the truck before we arrive.
Cotton country
Cotton modules, sorghum and grain hoppers
Cotton leads sorghum and corn across Hockley County’s 897 farms, on the tally in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Module trucks, grain trucks and hay haulers that serve those fields usually sit in a barn or shop between harvests, and we collect them from right there.
Grain, feed and hay is a listed cargo for 54 Levelland carriers in FMCSA’s census. If your truck ran gin or elevator loads, photograph the bed, the hoist and the tires alongside the cab and the VIN plate.
On the jobs side, LEHD counts 58 agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting jobs in town for 2023. Farm trucks are frequently titled to a family member or a farm partnership, so check whose name appears on the title before you call; that person signs it over.
Of the 164 carriers FMCSA lists as active, 124 run intrastate, 39 run interstate and 62 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck may be titled to the parent business rather than a person, so have an officer of that business ready to sign.
In the same FMCSA census, general freight is listed by 78 carriers, and machinery and large objects by 39. Flatbeds and step-decks for that heavier freight are trucks we take, along with the dry vans and day cabs on general freight.
Levelland added 9 carriers to FMCSA’s census in 2025, following 6 the year before in 2024. If you started a small outfit in one of those years and are now winding it down, a single truck with its title and registration is all we need to begin.
Inspection years and odometer readings
FMCSA roadside inspection records covered 266 Levelland-based trucks between August 2024 and August 2026; their median model year is 2015, and 53 percent were ten or more years old. Send the model year with the VIN and we can look up the rest of the specification ourselves.
Across 51 carriers reporting it in FMCSA’s census, the median distance is 31,106 miles per truck each year. Read the odometer before you contact us and include a photo of the dash, since that one figure answers several of our first questions.
Drivers working within 100 miles number 268 in the carrier census, against 639 who go further out. A long-haul truck may be sitting at a terminal in another town; we can collect it there rather than ask you to bring it home to Hockley County.
Fleets selling
Retiring a Levelland fleet in one go
The three biggest fleets based in Levelland run 181, 143 and 83 power units, according to FMCSA’s census, with 294, 91 and 66 drivers respectively. If you are retiring a group of trucks, a list of VINs, model years and where each one is parked lets us plan the collections together.
Put titles for every unit in one folder, with registration cards and any service logs, and name one person we can call about all of them. That keeps a multi-truck sale from turning into separate conversations for every unit.
Dump trucks, construction and the quarry east of town
Lubbock County IRock Crusher, a crushed-stone pit 12.5 miles east of Levelland, appears in the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine listings. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that hauled aggregate out of that site are on the list of trucks we buy, and we can pick one up from the quarry lot if the operator allows access.
County Business Patterns records 25 construction establishments here, and LEHD puts 219 construction jobs in town for 2023, 3.4 percent of the total. If your dump truck or mixer belongs to one of those contractors, tell us the bed or drum size and send a photo of the body plate.
The questions we get asked in Levelland
- My cotton module truck sits out at the farm, miles from Levelland. Do you collect from farm yards?Hockley County has 897 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and many working trucks stay on them. Give us the farm address and directions from the nearest paved road, and we collect it where it sits.
- The truck hauled oilfield equipment and still has the winch on it. Do you take it like that?Oilfield equipment is a cargo for 52 Levelland carriers in FMCSA’s census, so winch and pole trucks are common here. Tell us what is mounted on the truck and send photos of it, and we include it in our look at the truck.
- Does a 2015 model year rule my truck out?In FMCSA roadside inspection records, 2015 is the median model year for 266 trucks based in Levelland. Put the VIN and that model year in your first message, along with the odometer reading and a photo of the cab.
