Plant shifts in a Titus County seat
Of the 14,971 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place in Mount Pleasant for 2023, 5,756 are in manufacturing, a 38.4 percent share. If your tractor ran inbound parts or outbound product for one of those plants, tell us which dock it worked from and whether it is still parked on plant property; if it is, add the name of a contact at the guard shack who can issue a gate pass.
Wholesale trade adds 735 jobs and construction 299, again by the LEHD figures for 2023. A truck that served a wholesale yard here usually sits at that yard between loads; give us the street address and the name of whoever holds the keys, and have the title and current registration in hand before we schedule.
Coils, lumber and heavy machinery out of Titus County
General freight is listed by 103 of the 166 active Mount Pleasant carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, alongside heavier specialties. The same FMCSA census shows 35 carrying metal sheets, coils and rolls, another 35 hauling machinery and large objects, and 33 moving logs, poles, beams and lumber. Flatbed and step-deck rigs fit that mix, and if yours is one, send photos of the deck, the tie-down points and the tractor together.
For a log truck or a lowboy rig, list the trailer separately from the tractor when you contact us, with its own VIN and its own title. Coil racks, chains and binders that stay with the trailer belong on that list too, so nothing is left to sort out on the day of pickup.
The rail yard and fuel terminals at the edge of town
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Mount Pleasant rail yard half a mile north-east of town. A tractor that shuttled freight to and from that yard is likely stored close by, and we can collect it where it stands once you confirm access.
Two petroleum product terminals listed by the Energy Information Administration sit 0.6 miles west and 1.8 miles south of Mount Pleasant. Owners of tank tractors that loaded at either one should gather the tank inspection certificates and any hazmat paperwork that travels with the unit, and include them when you send the VIN.
Further out, the North American Rail Network records the Lonestar Steel yard 20.9 miles to the south-east. A truck parked down that way does not need to come back into town first; tell us the nearest crossroad and we plan the trip to it.
Who runs trucks here, and how far they go
Among Mount Pleasant carriers, 87 run interstate, 75 operate intrastate and 69 are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. A private-fleet truck is often titled to the business rather than the driver, so check whose name sits on the title and bring a signing authority for the company if it is not yours.
Driver records in that census put 164 drivers within a 100-mile radius and 299 beyond it. FMCSA’s census also has 57 carriers here reporting mileage, with a median of 39,871 miles per truck a year. Share the odometer reading with your first message so we can match the truck to its records.
The biggest fleet sizes here are 36 power units with 22 drivers, 30 units with 37 drivers, and 27 units with 28 drivers, per FMCSA’s figures. Selling several units at once is straightforward: send one list with each VIN, its title status and where each truck is parked.
A 2019 median among the coil and log haulers
Across the 199 Mount Pleasant trucks that FMCSA roadside inspection records log from August 2024 to August 2026, the middle model year lands on 2019. Of those inspected trucks, the FMCSA records show 41.2 percent were ten or more model years old.
Whatever the model year of yours, the paperwork is the same: the title, the registration, and any service records kept in the cab or the office. If the title has gone missing, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles is the office that issues a certified copy, and starting that request before we schedule keeps the sale on track.
New carriers, ranch hauling and construction outfits
FMCSA’s carrier census logged 12 new carriers in Mount Pleasant in 2024 and 14 in 2025. If you started your authority recently and are now parking the truck, tell us whether it is still on a lease or a loan; if it is, the lienholder’s release goes with the title.
Titus County has 687 farms on USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, where cattle rank first, then horses and goats. Livestock haulers and ranch trucks stored on a farm are collected on site; describe the gate, the ground and the turnaround space so we send the right equipment.
For building work, 43 construction establishments appear in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns for Titus County. Dump trucks and equipment haulers from those outfits are usually kept at a contractor’s yard, so name the yard and a contact who can open it.
The questions we get asked in Mount Pleasant
- Can my tractor stay parked beside the Mount Pleasant rail yard until you collect it?The Mount Pleasant rail yard sits half a mile north-east of town on the North American Rail Network, and we collect trucks parked around it where they stand. Name whoever controls that lot near the tracks, and the visit is arranged with them.
- What should a tank tractor owner who loaded at the Mt Pleasant fuel terminals send along?Both terminals the Energy Information Administration lists here, 0.6 miles west and 1.8 miles south, serve tank tractors, so send the VIN, the tank inspection certificates and photos of the tractor and tank together.
- If the tractor is titled to my Mount Pleasant business, who signs the title over?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 69 private fleets in Mount Pleasant, and many of their trucks are titled to the business. Whoever is authorised to sign for the company signs the title, and we work with that person directly.
