Sand plants north and south of Monahans
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Vines Sand & Gravel 8.7 miles south of town and the Atlas Sand Kermit South Plant 10.7 miles north, on the road toward Kermit. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that cycles between those pits is often still parked on site between shifts, so tell us whether it sits at a plant gate or in your own yard in Monahans.
Further up the same corridor, Wall Street Sand Co is an industrial-mineral mine 13.8 miles north and Kermit Sand a crushed-stone quarry at 14 miles, both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck is behind a locked plant fence, give us the name of whoever can let a driver through, and we will arrange the pickup there instead of asking you to move it.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists Kermit Mine, an industrial-mineral mine 21.1 miles north. Photos of the bed, the hoist and the frame rails taken where the truck stands are what we need first from a Kermit-road hauler.
The rail yard and the processing plant on the east side
East of the city, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the MONAHANS rail yard 11.3 miles out. A tractor that shuttles loads to and from that siding can be collected from the yard lot if that is where it stays; send us the address and the gate hours.
The Monahans Facility, a mineral processing plant 16.3 miles east by the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, rounds out the east side. For a truck that has worked that plant, have the Texas title in the registered owner’s name and the current registration ready before we talk, since those two papers settle most of the questions on a sale.
General freight, oilfield loads and tankers from Monahans yards
Of 180 active carriers with a Monahans address, 109 haul general freight according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A van or flatbed tractor from one of those outfits is the kind of truck we collect from a driveway or a shop lot in town as readily as from a terminal.
Oilfield equipment appears on 42 of those registrations, machinery and large objects on 34, and liquids or gases on 23, going by the federal carrier census. Owners of a winch truck, a lowboy tractor or a tank-hauling unit should list the trailer or bed setup with the VIN so we know how the truck is set up.
Of the same 180, the FMCSA census records 57 interstate operators, 123 that stay inside Texas and 46 private fleets hauling their own goods. An intrastate truck still needs its Texas registration and title on hand; a private-fleet unit should come with the name of the company officer who can sign for it.
Big yards, short hauls and yearly miles in Monahans
At the top end, FMCSA’s carrier census shows one Monahans outfit with 112 power units and 115 drivers, a second with 85 and 80, and a third with 67 and 66. If you manage one of those yards and are thinning several trucks at once, send a list of VINs and where each one is parked and we will plan the collections as one job.
FMCSA’s carrier census puts the median at 25,455 miles a truck per year across 57 local carriers that report mileage. Have the current odometer reading with the VIN when you contact us; it is a neutral figure we use to identify the unit.
Drivers working within 100 miles of their base number 776 here, against 246 who run beyond that, by FMCSA’s census. Short-haul trucks of that kind are usually parked in Monahans or a nearby lease road at day’s end, which is where we come to them.
Jobs, ranches and new outfits in Ward County
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 show 2,916 jobs here, with 456 in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, 242 in construction, 83 in manufacturing and 56 in transportation and warehousing. A pickup-and-trailer rig or a water truck tied to an extraction or construction crew can be sold by its titled owner even when the crew has moved on.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 52 farms in Ward County, with cattle, hogs and horses leading. A ranch truck or stock-trailer tractor parked out on county land is collected where it sits; send directions and a photo of the gate.
New registrations on the FMCSA carrier census reached 18 Monahans carriers in 2025 after 12 in 2024. If yours is a young outfit selling its first truck, have the title, the registration and any service invoices together, and the paperwork side stays short.
