Ten of the 15 active Nash carriers on FMCSA’s census haul their own company’s goods as private fleets. If your truck has worked for a business of that kind, the registration may be in the company name, so check whose name is on the title before you call us.
Of those 15 carriers, the FMCSA census counts 8 cleared for interstate work and 7 that stay inside Texas. A tractor with interstate authority behind it may carry paperwork from more than one state; gather the registration, the cab card and any annual inspection reports in one folder so the sale moves on documents rather than memory.
One fleet on the FMCSA carrier census in Nash lists 249 power units and 110 drivers, while the next two list 28 units with 18 drivers and 5 units with 5 drivers. Owners of a single truck and managers retiring several units both sell to us the same way: send the VIN, the location and photos for each one.
Cargo on the filings
Machinery, farm loads and dry bulk
General freight is the cargo most Nash carriers declare, 9 of them on FMCSA’s census, and 8 list machinery and large objects. A lowboy or step-deck tractor that has moved equipment around this corner of Texas is a truck we want to hear about; photograph the deck, the ramps and the hitch along with the cab.
Farm supplies appear on the filings of 5 local carriers, and 3 haul dry bulk commodities, according to the same FMCSA census. If yours pulled a hopper or a feed trailer, tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you, so we collect exactly what you mean to sell.
FMCSA’s census shows Nash carriers with 62 drivers on short local runs and 200 who drive past the hundred-mile radius. A truck on long runs may be parked away from home when you decide to sell; give us the address where it actually sits and we will plan the pickup there.
East to the yards, west to the depot
Heading east out of Nash, a driver reaches Trigg Street rail yard at 4.8 miles and Texarkana UP(SSW) at 5.5, by the North American Rail Network’s mapping. Day cabs that shuttle loads to and from those yards often sit near them between jobs; tell us which lot the truck is on and who holds the gate key.
Red River Army Depot, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists 12.8 miles west of town, lies the other way along the county. Trucks that have hauled to a secured site like that can still be collected from your yard in Nash or wherever they are parked off the base, so just give us an address we can reach.
Factory work, construction crews and Bowie County cattle
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts placed 800 manufacturing jobs in Nash out of 2,319 there, a 34.5 percent share for factory work. The same LEHD counts put 298 jobs in construction and 141 in transportation and warehousing. A truck that has served a plant here may have maintenance logs kept by the employer; ask for copies, since service records help us understand the truck before we see it.
Twelve construction outfits operate locally according to the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Dump trucks and flatbeds from building work are part of what we buy, and a photo of the body, the hydraulics and the data plate on the door jamb answers most of our first questions.
Bowie County held 1,267 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and deer named as the leading lines. A truck that has hauled livestock trailers or feed across those farms can be collected from the ranch where it is kept; a field gate is fine as long as we know the way in.
Whatever the model year of yours, the steps are the same: the title in your name or your company’s, the current registration, and clear photos of each side. If the title has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a replacement, so request one before you contact us.
Clearances for our rig
Roads and bridges near Nash
All 7 Nash bridges in the National Bridge Inventory are free of posted weight limits, and not one is lower than 14 feet. That leaves our trucks a clear approach to most yards in town, so the main thing we need from you is the street address and a note on any tight gate or soft ground.
If the truck is parked behind a shop or on a lot you rent, tell the owner of the property when we are due. A contact name and phone number at the site lets the collection go ahead even when you cannot be there yourself.
