Hopper trailers and the Ochiltree County harvest
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 285 farms in Ochiltree County, with corn, wheat and sorghum as the leading crops. A tractor that has pulled grain hoppers from those fields is a truck we buy, and it may well be sitting at a farmstead rather than in town when we collect it. Give us the road and the gate details so the pickup can be planned around the farm.
Of the 159 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census lists in Perryton, 82 haul grain, feed or hay. If yours was one of those trucks, photograph the cab, the frame and the hitch, and tell us whether a hopper or flatbed trailer is part of the sale or stays behind with you.
Lease roads, rig moves and oilfield haulers
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 789 of Perryton’s 2,650 jobs, or 29.8 percent, in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction. Heavy tractors from that work may be parked at a yard or a lease site when you sell, and we arrange collection wherever the truck stands.
Some 46 Perryton carriers are registered to move oilfield equipment, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and 22 list machinery and large objects. Keep any lease-site inspection sheets or service records with the truck; they let us see where it has worked, and if you have none, a list of the jobs it ran does the same work.
Interstate runs, local hauls and private fleets
FMCSA’s carrier census splits Perryton’s carriers into 104 that operate interstate and 55 that stay inside Texas, with 80 running private fleets that haul their own goods. A farm or an oil service company selling a pickup-and-flatbed or a tandem tractor fits here just as well as a for-hire operator; the paperwork we ask for is the same.
Driver records filed with FMCSA show 364 drivers working within 100 miles of their base and 282 running beyond it. Whichever group your truck belongs to, tell us the city where it is parked today and we plan from there.
Perryton trucks log a median 22,394 miles a year, going by the 72 local carriers whose mileage sits in FMCSA’s carrier census. Have the odometer reading and the VIN to hand when you first reach out, since every other question about the truck follows from those two.
Model years on Perryton’s working trucks
Roadside stops logged by FMCSA between September 2024 and August 2026 caught 177 Perryton-based trucks, and the middle model year among them was 2012. Those FMCSA roadside inspection records also show 62.15 percent of the Perryton trucks stopped carried a model year a decade or more back.
Whatever the model year on your title, send the year, make and model with your first message, plus photos of the cab, frame, tires and fifth wheel. That lets us match what we see to the truck that is sitting in your yard.
Several Perryton power units, one sale
The three biggest fleets based in Perryton run 43, 36 and 36 power units, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, with driver counts of 17, 63 and 38. An owner retiring several trucks at once can list them together, and we look at each one by its VIN.
FMCSA registered 10 new carriers here in 2024 and 8 more in 2025. A newer outfit that bought a used tractor to start out may hold a title still carrying a lender’s lien; tell us the lienholder’s name early so the release can be arranged alongside the sale.
Title, registration and local contractors
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 34 construction establishments in Ochiltree County, and the LEHD job counts place 143 Perryton jobs in construction and 162 in wholesale trade. Dump trucks and delivery straight trucks from those firms sell the same way a road tractor does: title, current registration, and the keys.
If the title has gone missing, a duplicate comes from the state’s title agency, and the request is made in the name shown on the registration. Start that request before we arrange collection, and keep the registration card with the truck.
