Of the 31 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Quanah, 17 list grain, feed and hay among their cargo, and 13 each list livestock, farm supplies and general freight. A tractor here may have pulled a hopper bottom at harvest and a cattle pot the rest of the year, so tell us every trailer type it has coupled to and send photos of the fifth wheel along with the cab.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 315 farms across Hardeman County, with wheat, cotton and corn the leading crops. If your truck sits at a farmstead or a grain bin outside Quanah rather than in town, give us the road and a gate contact; we collect from the place it is parked.
Ranch and highway
Local runs and long ones from the same small base
Quanah’s operators split almost evenly between interstate and intrastate work, 16 and 15 carriers respectively in FMCSA’s carrier census, while 17 run as private fleets moving their own goods. A private-fleet truck that hauled only for a ranch or a farm operation sells the same way as a for-hire one: the title, the registration and the VIN are what we start with.
Driver filings with the federal carrier census show 55 Quanah drivers working past a hundred-mile radius against 25 who stay inside it. If yours is a sleeper that spends its weeks away from Hardeman County, it can be collected wherever it finishes its last load, not only at home.
How far a Quanah tractor travels in a year
Across the 12 local carriers that reported mileage, the median works out to 19,077 miles per truck per year, according to FMCSA’s carrier census. Have the odometer reading and the VIN ready when you contact us; those two figures answer most of the first questions we ask.
Three fleet sizes stand out in that same FMCSA census: one Quanah operation runs 25 power units with 25 drivers, another 8 units with 7 drivers, and a third 7 units with 2 drivers. Whether you are letting go of a single tractor or several from a yard of that size, list each unit with its VIN and we will arrange the collection as one visit or several.
Dump trucks from the K Bar K crushed-stone quarry
K Bar K Operations, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 8.7 miles north-east of Quanah, is the nearest mine on record. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that have hauled aggregate from a pit like this are trucks we buy; tell us whether yours is parked at the quarry or back in town.
If your truck worked between the quarry and a job site, send photos of the bed, the hoist and the tires alongside the cab.
In Texas, titles come from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Quanah that is the Hardeman County Tax Office at 300 S. Main, Quanah, 79252, about 0.2 miles from the centre of town by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles’ listing.
A truck still under a loan needs its lien release, and the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles records that on the title as well. Bring the registration and any lien paperwork with you to the Main Street office if the title has to be reissued, and send us a photo of the finished title once you have it.
Manufacturing and the rest of Quanah’s workforce
Census Bureau LEHD job counts put 946 jobs in Quanah for 2023, and manufacturing holds 154 of them, a 16.3 percent share. A box truck or flatbed that moved goods for a local plant can be sold by the owner of record; have the registration name match the person signing.
Whether you are closing out a Quanah authority or parking a single tractor at the farm, the VIN, a set of photos and the address where it sits are enough for us to begin.
The questions we get asked in Quanah
- Do you buy grain trucks and cattle haulers here?Grain, feed and hay is the cargo listed by 17 of Quanah’s 31 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and livestock by 13, so those are trucks we expect to see. Send the VIN, the trailer types it has pulled and photos of the cab and frame.
