Feed yards and elevators

Hay, feed and grain fill most Lockney logbooks

Of the 42 active Lockney carriers, 32 tick the grain, feed and hay box on their FMCSA carrier census filings. If your truck has spent its seasons hauling out of gins, elevators or feed yards around town, it fits the work most local carriers do, and we buy tractors, straight trucks and grain trailers alike.

Farm supplies show up on 13 of those registrations and commodities dry bulk on 11, again according to the federal carrier census. A tractor that has pulled a hopper bottom or a belly-dump between seed and fertilizer stops is just as welcome; photograph the trailer hitch, the tires and the cab, and tell us which trailer usually rides behind it.

General freight appears on 16 Lockney filings in that same census, so not every local truck is a farm truck. Whatever the load was, have the registration in the cab and the VIN written down when you first get in touch.

Most Lockney carriers never cross a state line

Thirty-five of the town’s carriers file as intrastate and only 7 as interstate, per FMCSA’s carrier census, and 23 run as private fleets hauling their own goods. A truck in that kind of work usually sits on a farm or a shop lot in town between jobs, and that is where we come to collect it.

FMCSA’s census also shows 46 drivers working inside a hundred-mile radius against 23 who go further. If your truck lives at a field edge or a turn row rather than a paved yard, give us the road it is on and the gate it is behind, and the pickup gets planned around that spot.

Across the 19 carriers that reported mileage, the median sits at 7,500 miles a truck each year in FMCSA’s census. Read the odometer off the dash before you call; that figure and the VIN open every conversation about a Lockney truck.

One-truck and few-truck outfits around town

The biggest Lockney fleet on FMCSA’s carrier census runs five power units with four drivers, and the next two run four units each. Sellers here are mostly owner-operators and family farms, so the person calling us is usually the one whose name is on the title, which keeps the paperwork simple.

The census also records two new carriers registered in Lockney in 2025 and two in 2024. If you started hauling recently and are now selling the truck you started with, bring the bill of sale or title you received when you bought it.

Lockney’s title office sits in the Floydada courthouse

Lockney sellers with a lost title go to the Floyd County Tax Office at 105 S Main St, Courthouse, Rm 116, Floydada, 79235, one of the county tax assessor-collector offices the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles works through, roughly 11.3 miles from town. If the title has gone missing, a replacement copy is requested there before the sale closes.

Check that the name on the title matches the seller and that any lien has been released; the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles lists the steps for getting a copy of your title on its own site. Keep the registration and any service records with the truck so everything is in one folder when we arrive.

Crushed stone south-east, a rail yard west

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Ross Pit, a crushed-stone quarry, about 11.9 miles south-east of Lockney. Dump trucks and end-dump trailers that have hauled rock out of a pit like that are trucks we buy; tell us whether the bed or trailer goes with the sale.

West of town, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places a rail yard at Plainview, about 15.4 miles away. A truck that has shuttled grain or freight to that yard can be collected in Lockney, at the yard end of the route, or wherever it is parked now.

Floyd County shows 3 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, so a Lockney truck may have spent time on a building site too. If yours did, a list of the jobs it served helps us understand what it was built for.

Gin country

Cotton, corn and sorghum on the farms around Lockney

Around Lockney, cotton, corn and sorghum lead the crops on the 457 Floyd County farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Grain trucks and the tractors that pull trailers to the gin all work this ground, and we buy each kind.

Lockney held 416 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, a small town where a pickup’s bigger sibling often hauls cotton one week and supplies the next. For a town that size, a truck often doubles as farm and business equipment; tell us everything it has been used for, and send photos from all four sides plus the cab interior.
