Gravel, crushed stone and the Clemens terminal
Two pits frame the drive out of Pampa: Homen Pit, a crushed-stone quarry 20.2 miles north-west, and Crutch Ranch Pit, sand and gravel 21.4 miles west, both on Mine Safety and Health Administration rolls. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has worked those pits can stay parked at the yard it runs from; give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Borger S&G, another sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, lies 23.6 miles north-west toward Borger. If your truck is kept out there rather than in Pampa, say which town it is closer to so the collection route starts from the right side of the county line.
West of town, the Energy Information Administration records the CLEMENS petroleum product terminal at 24.9 miles out. Tankers and tractors that have loaded fuel there are trucks we buy; have the title, the current Texas registration and any tank inspection certificates together before you call.
Pampa’s own for-hire and private haulers
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 122 active carriers based in Pampa, of which 48 operate interstate and 74 stay within Texas. An intrastate truck still needs a clean Texas title to sell, so check that the name on the title matches the name on your registration before photos go out.
Fifty-seven Pampa outfits on FMCSA’s census move only their own goods, as private fleets rather than for hire. A ranch, a contractor or a supply house that owns a truck or two for its own work can sell one without being a for-hire carrier; the owner listed on the title is the person who signs.
New registrations show up in the census too: FMCSA records 8 carriers starting in Pampa in 2025 against 1 in 2024. If you started hauling recently and the truck is still financed, bring the lienholder’s name and account number so the payoff can be arranged at signing.
Grain, oilfield loads and heavy machinery
General freight leads the cargo list, with 62 Pampa carriers declaring it in FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by grain, feed and hay at 40. Hopper-bottom trailers and the day cabs that pull them during harvest are welcome; send photos of the tractor and trailer separately so each can be described on its own.
Thirty-five local carriers tell FMCSA they haul oilfield equipment, and 31 list machinery and large objects. Winch trucks, lowboys and heavy-haul tractors from that work are on our list; if the truck carries a bed, winch or gin poles, include the make and capacity of that equipment with the VIN.
Distance driven varies: among 47 carriers reporting to FMCSA, the median comes to 19,799 miles per truck in a year. Write the odometer reading down from the dash rather than from memory, since it goes on the Texas title transfer.
Panhandle ranch land
Cattle, corn and cotton country
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 287 farms in Gray County, with cattle, corn and cotton as the leading products. A cattle pot, a grain truck or a module hauler parked on one of those farms can be collected from the farm itself; describe the turn-off and whether the lane holds up for a tow rig.
Farm trucks registered with Texas farm plates still transfer on the ordinary title. If the title has gone missing, ask the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles for a certified copy before you list the truck with us.
Oil and gas, construction and hauling jobs
Of 4,473 jobs located in Pampa in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 228 in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction and 181 in construction. Service rigs, vacuum trucks and water haulers that worked those leases are trucks we buy; any service records kept by the shop that maintained them help us identify the unit.
A contractor selling a dump truck or flatbed from that work should send the VIN, the plate and a photo of the door decal area so we can match the truck to the paperwork.
Trucking and warehouse work accounts for 59 Pampa jobs and wholesale trade for 64, the LEHD job counts add. Drivers hired from town split close to evenly by range, with FMCSA’s carrier census recording 374 working within 100 miles and 328 beyond it, so a truck may be sitting at a home driveway between runs; that is a fine place for us to collect it.
What Texas troopers saw on Pampa rigs
Across 313 Pampa-based trucks stopped for checks from August 2024 to August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the middle model year at 2020. Roughly 35 percent of that inspected group carried a model year a decade or more back, in FMCSA’s inspection files. Whatever the year, we look at the VIN, title and photos you send.
Fleet sizes here range widely; FMCSA’s carrier census shows one Pampa carrier with 187 power units and 158 drivers and another with 89 power units and 40 drivers. A fleet selling several units at once should list each VIN with its plate and location, so the trucks can be collected in one planned trip.
Reaching a Gray County yard
Posted spans on the Pampa road network
Just 2 of the 15 Pampa-area bridges in the National Bridge Inventory carry a load posting, and none clears less than 14 feet. Tell us the road the truck sits on, so a heavy tow is not routed across one of the posted spans.
If the truck is at a lease site or pit outside town rather than in Pampa, a pin dropped from a phone saves a lot of calls. Pair it with photos of all four sides, the cab interior and the dash, and we can plan the collection from there.
The questions we get asked in Pampa
- My dump truck is parked at a sand and gravel yard up toward Borger. Do you collect it there, outside Pampa?Borger S&G is 23.6 miles north-west of Pampa on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from pits like it directly. Send the pit’s address and the phone number of whoever unlocks it on collection day.
- I haul grain during harvest and the truck is on the farm. Will you fetch it from the farm?USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 287 Gray County farms, and a grain truck on any of them can be loaded right where it is parked. Describe the turn-off from the highway and whether the lane takes a tow rig.
- I’ve misplaced the Texas title for a truck kept in Pampa; how do I replace it?A lost Texas title is replaced by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, which issues certified copies. Start that request as soon as you decide to sell your Pampa truck.
