Sell your semi truck for cash in Premont the easy and convenient way

Premont sits in the brush country of southern Jim Wells County, with King Ranch to the north and oilfield, ranch and grain loads moving on the farm roads around it.

Selling a truck in Premont? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

A town where a third of the work is in the oilfield

Mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction hold 236 of Premont’s 722 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, close to one job in three at 32.7 percent. If your truck has spent its time on lease roads and pad sites, tell us which kind of hauling it did, whether that was water, pipe, frac sand or rig moves.

Thirteen of the town’s carriers list oilfield equipment as a cargo they move, by FMCSA’s carrier census, and thirteen list machinery and large objects. Winch trucks, bed trucks, lowboy tractors and the trailers behind them all fit that pattern. Photograph the bed, the winch or the fifth wheel along with the cab, and note any lease or yard gate where the unit is parked.

Thirty small outfits, nearly all running inside Texas

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 30 active carriers based in Premont; 29 of them are intrastate operations and just one is cleared for interstate work. A truck plated and run only inside Texas is no obstacle to us, so send the Texas registration with the title and we work from those.

Nine of those carriers are private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire, according to the same FMCSA records. In FMCSA’s carrier census the biggest fleet registered in town reports 20 power units and 11 drivers, the next runs 9 trucks with 9 drivers, and the third has 3 of each. Whether you are letting go of one tractor or several from a yard of that size, a list of VINs with each unit’s location lets us plan a single collection.

New registrations are rare here: FMCSA’s carrier census shows one new carrier in 2025 and none in 2024. If you are closing an operating authority or winding a small fleet down, keep the USDOT number handy, since it ties each truck to the business that ran it.

Sorghum, corn and cattle

Ranch country hauling around Premont

Around Premont and across Jim Wells County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 960 farms, with cattle, sorghum and corn as the leading products. Nine Premont carriers list grain, feed and hay among their loads in FMCSA’s carrier census. Grain trucks, hopper-bottom trailers and the tractors that pull livestock and feed are all trucks we purchase.

A farm truck often stays parked on the place where it works, out past the end of a caliche road. We come to the ranch, so give us the gate directions, the name of whoever holds the key, and photos of the bed or hopper as well as the cab.

Regional miles on Premont’s working trucks

Eight local carriers report mileage to FMCSA’s carrier census, and their median comes to 32,500 miles per truck in a year. That is a figure for short regional runs between ranches, leases and yards rather than long-haul lanes, and it is useful to give us the odometer reading from the dash when you first get in touch.

Fourteen Premont carriers put general freight on their FMCSA carrier census filings, ahead of every other cargo type listed in town. Box trucks, flatbeds and day cabs used for that local delivery work belong on the same list as the oilfield units, and the VIN plus a clear photo of each side tells us most of what we need.

Ranch land, a naval air station and a stone quarry

King Ranch lies 11.6 miles north of Premont, and NAS Kingsville TX sits 21.4 miles to the north-east, both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as military installations. A truck stored on property near either one is collected where it stands; tell us about any access pass or escort the site requires before the day we arrive.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration records Kingsville Materials Corp, a crushed-stone quarry, 20.3 miles north-west of town. Dump trucks and end-dump trailers that haul rock from a pit like that one are welcome here, and photos of the box and the hoist help us understand the setup.

Builders around Premont and the brush country south of King Ranch account for seven construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your truck worked those job sites, say whether it is parked at a yard or at a site still under way, so we reach the right gate.

Getting a duplicate title through the Alice office

Certificates of title in this state come from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, which works through county tax assessor-collector offices. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles puts Premont owners with the Jim Wells County Tax Office, 27.3 miles away at 601 E. Main Street Ste#175, Alice, per the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.

If the title has gone missing, start the duplicate there before we schedule the pickup, and bring identification plus the truck’s VIN. When a lender still holds a lien, ask that lender for a release letter, since the title cannot pass to us without it.

The questions we get asked in Premont
