Twenty Reno carriers, split down the middle
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 20 active motor carriers based in Reno, and the same census divides them evenly: 10 cross state lines and 10 keep their loads inside Texas. If your tractor has a USDOT number tied to interstate authority, have that number and the cab card handy when you reach us, since both go on the bill of sale.
Nine of those 20 Reno outfits are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the federal carrier census. A farm or shop that owns a truck for its own freight still sells it the same way a for-hire carrier would: a clear title in the business name, a signer with authority for the company, and a few photos of the unit where it is parked.
Two new carriers registered here in 2025 and two in 2024, FMCSA’s census shows. A recently started operation selling its first truck needs only the title, the registration and a phone number for whoever can show us the truck.
Loads from Lamar farms
Grain, machinery and vehicles out of Reno
General freight is the most common cargo line, with 15 of the town’s carriers listing it on FMCSA’s carrier census. Box trucks, day cabs and dry-van tractors from that work are all trucks we collect around Reno; tell us the body type and trailer setup so we know what to bring.
Six Reno carriers each list grain, feed and hay, machinery and large objects, and motor vehicles on the federal census. Hopper-bottom tractors, lowboy and step-deck rigs, and car haulers fit those categories, and photos of the trailer coupling and deck help us plan the pickup around the equipment.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,865 farms across Lamar County, with cattle, corn and wheat at the top. A grain truck or cattle hauler may be sitting on a farm lot off a county road rather than in town; send the gate location and a contact who can let us in.
Driver radius here
According to FMCSA’s carrier census, 33 drivers from Reno carriers work beyond a 100-mile radius and 13 stay inside it. A sleeper used on longer runs may be parked away from Lamar County when you decide to sell; we collect from where the truck sits, so give us that address rather than your home one.
Six local carriers reported mileage to the federal census, with a median of 32,605 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer and photograph it alongside the VIN plate, and send both with the title details when you get in touch.
Nine-truck operation
FMCSA’s carrier census shows a Reno outfit with 9 power units and 9 drivers, a second with 4 units and 3 drivers, and a third whose 7 drivers share 2 power units. A fleet owner letting go of several units at once can list them together, each with its own VIN and title, and we work through them one by one.
For a company-owned tractor, the title has to match the name the business uses with the state’s title agency. If a title in a fleet file has gone missing, the state’s title agency issues a duplicate, and that request can start before you contact us.
Plant floors and job sites in Reno
Of Reno’s 656 jobs in 2023, manufacturing holds 162, a 24.7 percent share on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Straight trucks and tractors that served plant shipping docks are part of what we collect; keep any service records the shop kept for the unit with the title.
Construction accounts for 61 local jobs and wholesale trade for 53, by the same LEHD figures. Dump trucks, flatbeds and delivery units from job sites or warehouses can be collected from the yard, so tell us whether a loader or a clear path is needed to reach the truck.
Lots near the Paris yard and NG Camp Maxey
Just 4.4 miles west of Reno lies the Paris rail yard, as mapped on the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor parked at a lot near the yard can be collected there; let us know who controls the lot so pickup is arranged with them.
NG Camp Maxey sits 10.3 miles north-west of town on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list of military installations. If your truck is stored on property near the camp, check with whoever manages access before giving us the address, so the gate is open on the day.
The questions we get asked in Reno
- My tractor sits on a lot beside the Paris rail yard west of Reno. Is that somewhere you pick up from?The Paris rail yard lies 4.4 miles west of Reno on the North American Rail Network, close enough that we collect from lots around it. Give us the lot’s location and a contact who can grant access.
