Hall County haulers
The trucking outfits registered at Memphis
Among the 23 active Memphis carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight shows up on the cargo list of 17. A truck from one of these outfits could be a day cab, a sleeper or a straight truck, so tell us the body type, the make and the VIN when you first get in touch.
Grain, feed and hay appear on the authority of 10 Memphis carriers in the federal carrier census, with dry bulk commodities on 6 and machinery or large objects on 5. If your tractor pulls a hopper, a belt trailer or a lowboy, send photos of the trailer coupling and the cab so we know the setup before we arrive.
Owner-operators and two-truck shops on the Hall County roads
The biggest fleet registered in Memphis runs 5 power units with 3 drivers, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and the next holds 3 power units. A seller here is usually the owner and the driver at once, so the person who signs the title is often the person who meets us at the truck.
Of the town’s registered carriers, 4 operate private fleets hauling their own goods, FMCSA reports. A farm or ranch truck that never carried freight for hire still qualifies; have the title in the operation’s name ready and tell us who is authorised to sign for it.
Gins and pens
Gin trailers, stock trailers and horse rigs
Around Memphis, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 407 farms in Hall County, with cotton, cattle and equine listed as the leading products. Trucks that serve these operations tend to sit at a farmstead or a barn lot rather than a terminal, so give us the gate directions and a phone number for whoever is on site.
Seasonal hauling means a tractor may be parked between harvests. If yours has been sitting at a ranch outside town, that is fine with us; share the location, a few current photos and the registration so we can line up the pickup with you.
Intrastate runs next to interstate authority
Twelve Memphis carriers are registered for intrastate work only and 11 for interstate hauling, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Both kinds of truck are welcome; just let us know which authority yours ran under so the paperwork we ask for matches the truck.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 11 Memphis carriers keeping drivers inside a hundred-mile radius and 19 sending them farther out. A truck that travels long distances may be away from Hall County when you call, so tell us where it will be parked and we will plan around that spot.
Fifteen thousand miles a truck, by carrier filings
For the nine Memphis carriers that gave FMCSA their yearly mileage, the median works out to 15,000 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading and the year on a slip of paper or in a photo, and send it with the VIN so our first conversation starts from the real numbers.
Service records help too, whatever the mileage. If you kept oil change receipts or shop invoices in the cab, gather them before we arrive so they leave with the truck.
Downtown Memphis
Memphis keeps its county tax office in the middle of town
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and in Hall County that is the Hall County Tax Office at 101 South 9th Street, Ste 5, Memphis, 79245, which the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles places 0.1 miles from the town centre. If your title is lost, a duplicate can be requested there before we come.
Bring a photo ID and your registration when you visit. A lienholder named on the title needs to release it first, so ask the lender for the release letter early and keep it with the signed title.
A small job base with steady construction
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put Memphis at 412 jobs in 2023. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 3 construction establishments here; if you run a dump truck or an equipment hauler for one of them, it is a truck we buy.
Contractors winding down a truck can sell it straight from the job yard. Tell us where the yard is and which of your people holds the keys, and the hand-off can happen without you leaving a site.
