Who is on the carrier register here
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 622 active carriers based in Lewisville, and 404 of them name general freight as a cargo they carry. If your truck spent its working life on box or dry-van freight around Denton County, send the VIN, the plate and a few photos of the cab and the frame, and we can start from there.
Machinery and large objects show up for 71 Lewisville carriers in the same FMCSA census, with paper products at 64 and household goods at 63. A tractor that pulled a lowboy, or a straight truck that moved furniture between homes in town, fits what we buy; tell us which body or trailer it worked with so the questions we ask are about that setup.
New authorities keep appearing on the FMCSA register here: 70 Lewisville carriers were added in 2025 and 44 in 2024. If you started a small operation in the last two years and are now selling the one truck it ran, the title and the registration in your company’s name are the two papers to find first.
Most Lewisville trucks stay inside Texas
Of the carriers in town, 429 run intrastate only and 192 cross state lines, according to FMCSA’s census, while 147 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck kept on Texas work will usually be parked close to home when you sell it, so give us the street address of the yard or driveway where it sits.
Driver counts in the FMCSA census put 1,385 Lewisville drivers inside a 100-mile radius and 956 beyond it. If your rig is out on a run when you get in touch, tell us where it will be parked when it comes back, and we arrange the collection for that spot rather than asking you to bring it anywhere.
Among the 157 carriers here that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median comes to 25,920 miles per truck per year. Have the odometer reading ready when you contact us, along with the registration; those are the first two things we ask for.
The 2018 median and the inspection paperwork
Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covered 507 trucks tied to Lewisville carriers between September 2024 and August 2026, and the median model year among them was 2018. Whatever year yours is, the model year printed on the title is the one we use, so check that it matches the cab before you send it to us.
In those same FMCSA inspection records, 37.3 percent of the trucks were ten or more model years old. If you have the inspection reports your truck collected at the roadside, keep them with the title; they are a record of where it has been and who checked it.
The three biggest fleets based here run 316, 144 and 60 power units under FMCSA’s carrier census. If you are a fleet manager retiring several units at once, list each VIN with where it is parked, and we can plan the collections together.

Rail yards, fuel terminals and pits around town
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places two Carrollton rail yards 7.6 and 7.7 miles south-east of Lewisville. A day cab that shuttled loads to and from those yards can be collected from wherever it is parked in Carrollton or Lewisville; just give us the address and a contact.
South-west along the lake, the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal at Southlake 7.8 miles out and a second Southlake terminal at 12.4 miles. If your tractor pulled fuel tankers from those racks, tell us whether the tank trailer is part of the sale or stays with you.
To the north, Denton Pits lies 13.3 miles away and Denton Sand Farm 14.4 miles, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, with B & B Sand & Gravel at 16.9 miles. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors from those pits are trucks we buy; if yours sits at a pit gate, name the site and who can let us in.
Site work, wholesale docks and Denton County farms
Construction accounts for 7,622 of the 67,105 jobs counted in Lewisville for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, or 11.4 percent, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 181 construction establishments. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from site work all fit; send a photo of the body along with the cab.
The same LEHD job counts put 6,190 jobs in wholesale trade, 4,883 in manufacturing and 2,581 in transportation and warehousing here. Box trucks and tractors that served distribution and plant docks around town belong on the list; send their trailer type and the registration that goes with them.
Denton County held 2,936 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with equine, wheat and sorghum the leading products. A grain truck or a horse-hauling rig from a county farm can be picked up on the property; tell us the gate and the road it is reached from.
Clearances and paperwork in Denton County
The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration counts 128 bridges in Lewisville, with none load-posted and none under 14 feet. Give us the exact spot where the truck sits, and the route out of that lot is the only thing left to plan.
If the title has gone missing, apply for a replacement through the state’s title agency before the pickup date, and keep the receipt with your registration. A lien on the title needs a release from the lender, so ask for that letter at the same time.
The questions we get asked in Lewisville
- My tractor ran fuel loads out of the Southlake terminal. Does the tank trailer have to come with it?That is your call. The Energy Information Administration lists that Southlake terminal 7.8 miles south-west of Lewisville, and the trailer is included only if you want it to be; tell us when you first contact us.
- I run an intrastate-only carrier in Lewisville. What paperwork do I need for the sale?FMCSA’s carrier census counts 429 intrastate-only carriers here, and for any of them the title in the carrier’s name, the current registration and a photo ID of the signer are what we need at pickup.
