Poles and logs
Pole trailers and timber tractors out of Livingston
Of the 270 Livingston carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, 102 report hauling logs, poles, beams or lumber. If yours is a log truck or a tractor that has pulled pole trailers, tell us what trailer it ran with and whether the trailer is part of the sale, so we know what to collect from the yard or the woods road where it sits.
General freight shows up on 137 Livingston registrations in the same FMCSA census, and machinery or large objects on 67. A tractor that has pulled a lowboy or a flatbed of equipment can be listed with its hitch and deck details; send a photo of the fifth wheel and the VIN plate with the cab shots.
Oilfield equipment appears on 33 Livingston carrier records in FMCSA’s census. If your truck has carried rig parts or pipe, say where it is parked now and who holds the gate key, and we will plan the collection around that lot.
Gravel west and south
Sand, gravel and the plants south and west of town
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists World Tree Materials, a sand and gravel operation, 16.3 miles west of Livingston, and the San Jac Plant, another sand and gravel site, 16.9 miles south. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors parked at either pit can be collected where they stand; give us the site name and a contact on the ground.
About 24 miles south, the ACE Portable Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a mineral processing plant. A truck kept at a working plant may need a site escort or a set entry window, so mention any such rule when you first get in touch.
Mostly in-state
Mostly Texas-only hauling, close to home
FMCSA’s carrier census splits Livingston’s 270 carriers into 210 that run intrastate only and 60 with interstate authority, and 106 of the total are private fleets moving their own goods. If your truck carried only Texas loads, the title and registration are all we need to start; an interstate tractor should also come with its cab card.
Drivers working within 100 miles of base number 514 for Livingston carriers in the federal census, against 215 who go farther out. A truck that came home most nights is likely parked at a house, shop or farm in Polk County, and that address is where we will meet it.
FMCSA records from 73 Livingston carriers put the typical truck at 33,333 miles a year, the median of what they reported. Have the current odometer reading ready alongside the VIN when you contact us, since those two answers shape every other question.
One truck or a yardful
One-truck owners up to fleets of fifty
The three biggest fleets based in Livingston run 53, 45 and 24 power units, with 94, 40 and 24 drivers respectively, according to FMCSA’s census. Selling several units at once works the same as one: list each VIN, where each truck is parked, and which titles are in the company name.
New registrations in Livingston reached 24 in 2025 and 17 in 2024, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started an outfit recently and are now winding it down or trimming a unit, have the title, any lien release from the lender, and your USDOT number to hand.
County payrolls
Jobs, cattle and goats across Polk County
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 4,629 jobs in Livingston in 2023, with construction at 230 of them, 5 percent, manufacturing at 98 and wholesale trade at 53. Work trucks from a building contractor or a supply yard are as welcome as tractors; tell us the body type, whether a dump bed, flatbed or box.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 594 farms in Polk County, with cattle, horses and goats the leading livestock. A stock trailer hauler or farm truck parked out in a pasture can be collected there, provided the gate is open and the ground is firm enough to load from.
The questions we get asked in Livingston
- My log truck is parked at a sand pit west of Livingston. Will you pick it up off the pit?World Tree Materials, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration places 16.3 miles west of town, is the kind of site we pick up from. Give us the pit name, the gate contact and where on the property the truck stands.
- My truck never left Texas while I hauled with it, so which papers should I have ready?Most Livingston carriers, 210 of 270 in FMCSA’s carrier census, run intrastate only, and for a truck like that the Texas title in your name plus current registration is the place to begin. If the title is lost, tell us at the start and we will go through the replacement steps with you.
- We run a fleet of trucks out of Livingston. Could we hand over several units in one go?Livingston fleets reach 53 power units in FMCSA’s carrier census, and a group sale is handled unit by unit: send each VIN, its location and its title status, and we arrange the collections as one job.
