Camp County carriers
Freight authorities on file in Pittsburg, Texas
General freight tops the cargo list for Pittsburg, where 42 of the 77 active carriers on FMCSA’s census claim it. If your tractor pulled dry vans or flatbeds of mixed loads out of Camp County, have the title in your name and the current Texas registration together before you call, and the rest of the conversation is about the truck itself.
Of those 77 Pittsburg carriers, FMCSA’s census shows 50 operating intrastate, 26 authorised for interstate work and 30 running private fleets that haul their own goods. A private-fleet truck often sits at the owner’s farm, shop or plant rather than a truck yard, so tell us the street address and who holds the keys, and we arrange collection there.
New authorities keep appearing on Pittsburg’s books: the federal carrier census records 7 carriers registered in 2025 and 5 in 2024. If you started a one-truck operation recently and are now selling that tractor, bring your USDOT number along with the title so the paperwork lines up on the first pass.
Pine logs and coil
Lumber loads and steel on Pittsburg flatbeds
Logs, poles, beams and lumber are declared by 19 Pittsburg carriers on FMCSA’s census, putting timber haulers among the town’s main freight types. A log truck usually comes with its bunks, stakes or a loader, so list every attachment and say whether it stays with the tractor when it goes.
On FMCSA’s census, 17 local carriers list oversized machinery as cargo and 16 list steel sheet and coil. Lowboys and coil-rack flatbeds are easiest to describe in photos: shoot the deck, the rack or wells, the fifth wheel and the cab, and send them with the VIN.
Seventeen point seven miles east, the North American Rail Network maps the Lonestar Steel rail yard. If your flatbed or coil trailer worked loads in and out of that yard, mention it; knowing the route helps us ask the right questions about the equipment it carried.
Fuel and rail to the north
Mt Pleasant terminals and the rail yard
The Energy Information Administration places two Mt Pleasant petroleum product terminals north of Pittsburg, at 9.1 and 11 miles. Tankers and fuel haulers that load at those racks are trucks we buy; keep any terminal access cards or loading paperwork with the vehicle and tell us which rack it served.
Mount Pleasant also has a rail yard 11.2 miles north on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab parked near the yard or the terminals can stay right there; give us the location and a contact who can open the lot.
Camp County ranches
Pittsburg’s ranch trucks and stock trailers
In USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, Camp County counts 416 farms, with cattle, goats and hogs at the top of its livestock list. Cattle haulers, feed trucks and farm-plated grain trucks from those operations are on our list, and a truck parked in a pasture or barn is a normal pickup for us.
Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting account for 516 of Pittsburg’s 2,682 jobs, or 19.2 percent, in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts. A farm truck is often titled to a family member or a ranch name, so check whose name is on the Texas title before we schedule anything; if the title is lost, the state’s title agency issues the replacement.
Livestock trailers and stock racks change how a truck is described, so photograph them separately and tell us whether they go with the tractor or stay on the place.
Building and wholesale
Dump trucks and delivery boxes around Pittsburg
County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 32 construction establishments in the area, and LEHD job counts put construction at 110 Pittsburg jobs in 2023. Dump trucks, water trucks and equipment haulers from those crews are commonly kept at a job site or contractor’s yard, which is where we collect them.
Wholesale trade holds 86 jobs and manufacturing 83 in Pittsburg, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD figures for 2023. Box trucks and straight trucks on local delivery runs fall into that work; have the registration and any service records in the cab when you send photos.
What Pittsburg tractors look like at the scale house
Across 161 trucks checked in FMCSA roadside inspection records between August 2024 and August 2026, Pittsburg-based vehicles had a median model year of 2018, and 33.5 percent were ten or more years old. A 2018 or a 2008 is handled the same way here: start by sending the VIN and the odometer reading from the dash.
The 19 carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA ran a median of 24,000 miles per truck. Drivers listed on the federal census number 132 working within 100 miles and 816 working beyond that range, so a sleeper may be parked well outside Camp County when you sell it; tell us where it is and we go there.
Fleet sizes on FMCSA’s census run from a 786-power-unit operation with 775 drivers down to 13 and 10 units. Selling one tractor from a ten-truck yard or several from a bigger lot is handled the same way: a list of VINs, titles and where each unit sits.
The questions we get asked in Pittsburg
- Can you pick up a tanker that is still parked up by the Mt Pleasant fuel racks north of Pittsburg?Those terminals sit 9.1 to 11 miles north of town on the Energy Information Administration’s map, and we collect from there. Name the company that controls that yard and a person with a gate key for the pickup day.
- Do the bridges around Pittsburg limit where you can pick up a tall or heavy truck?Camp County roads near Pittsburg cross 20 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory, and a tall sleeper or loaded lowboy meets no weight posting and no clearance under 14 feet on any of them. Give us the address and we plan the route to it.
- I can’t find the Texas title for a farm truck kept outside Pittsburg; where does a new one come from?Camp County farm trucks are titled in Texas, so the state’s title agency issues the duplicate. Start that request before we schedule collection, and send us the VIN in the meantime.
- Will you buy a Camp County log truck with its log loader and bunks still attached?Nineteen Pittsburg carriers haul logs, poles and lumber on FMCSA’s census, and their trucks come in many setups. Send photos of the loader and bunks and tell us whether they stay on the truck.
