Carriers on the North Concho
FMCSA’s carrier census lists 564 active carriers based in San Angelo, and 461 of them run intrastate only while 101 cross state lines. If your truck has stayed inside Texas, the intrastate authority and Texas registration are what we will ask to see alongside the title.
Of those carriers, 303 operate as private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. A ranch, contractor or supply business selling a truck it used for its own work can sell it to us the same way a for-hire outfit would: title in the business name, plus whoever signs for the company.
San Angelo picked up 34 newly registered carriers in 2025 after 22 in 2024, going by FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started up in one of those years and are now letting a tractor go, have the bill of sale from when you bought it with the title, since a short ownership history is easiest to follow on paper.
Oilfield gear, machinery and hay
General freight is the most common cargo listed, with 276 local carriers, and 182 haul machinery and large objects, by FMCSA’s census figures. Lowboys, step-decks and the tractors that pull them are trucks we collect from this county; send a photo of the trailer plate along with the tractor so we know which units are part of the sale.
In the same FMCSA census, 116 San Angelo carriers list oilfield equipment and 110 list grain, feed and hay. A winch truck or a hay hauler parked out at a lease road or a pasture gate can stay right there; give us directions from the nearest paved road and a phone number for whoever holds the gate key.
Tom Green County had 1,392 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, cotton and corn at the top of the list. A farm truck still needs a clear title to sell, so check that the name on it matches yours before we schedule a pickup.
Goodfellow, the rail yard and the fuel terminal
Goodfellow Air Force Base lies 2.8 miles east of downtown on Bureau of Transportation Statistics mapping. A truck kept on a contractor lot near the base is fine to collect, but base-side yards often need a name on an access list, so tell us who can let a driver in.
To the north-east, the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the San Angelo rail yard 4.5 miles out. Trucks that shuttle loads to and from the yard are often parked at transload lots close by; give us the lot address rather than your home address.
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal 5.7 miles north-east of San Angelo. If your truck is a fuel tanker that loaded there, mention the tank’s last product and have its tank test paperwork on hand so the trailer’s records travel with it.
Stone from Turner Pit, gravel from Mertzon
The Mine Safety and Health Administration records Turner Pit, a crushed-stone quarry, 15.3 miles north-west of town, and the Mertzon Quarry sand and gravel operation 22.1 miles to the west. Dump trucks and belly-dump tractors working those runs can be picked up at the pit lot if the operator allows it; ask them first and tell us their answer.
Construction work counts 2,042 jobs on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, and County Business Patterns lists 203 construction establishments in the county. If your dump truck or mixer is one of several belonging to a small contractor, list each VIN so we can plan to collect the units together rather than one at a time.
What the roadside records show
Across 366 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2019 for San Angelo carriers, and 37.7 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the year of your truck, the VIN, the title and a few clear photos of the cab, the frame and the plate are enough for us to start.
Drivers working within 100 miles number 853 against 952 who go farther, by FMCSA’s carrier census. A truck that ran long routes may be parked in another state when you decide to sell; tell us where it sits now; we collect it there, and you do not need to bring it home first.
A San Angelo truck logged a median 19,537 miles a year across the 141 local carriers whose mileage FMCSA’s carrier census records. Have your last odometer reading from the dash photo and any service log you kept, so the figures on paper match the truck we arrive to collect.
Bridges and clearances in town
The National Bridge Inventory counts 136 bridges in the San Angelo area, two of them load-posted and three with less than 14 feet of clearance. When you describe where the truck is parked, name the streets around it so the route out avoids those structures.
Pecos Street crosses the North Concho River and North River Road on the lowest of them, at 11 ft 5 in on the National Bridge Inventory. A high cab, a sleeper with a roof fairing or a truck still carrying a load on its deck will not clear that bridge, so tell us if it is parked anywhere near North River Road.
The questions we get asked in San Angelo
- My winch truck is parked on a lease road outside San Angelo. Do I have to haul it to town?You can leave it on the lease. FMCSA’s carrier census lists 116 San Angelo carriers that haul oilfield equipment, and trucks like theirs are often parked out on the lease. Give us the gate location and a contact who can open it, and we collect it there.
- Will the low Pecos Street bridge get in the way of collecting my truck?It only shapes the route. The National Bridge Inventory puts the Pecos Street crossing over the North Concho at 11 ft 5 in, so tell us the lot’s address and we plan a way out that avoids it.
- My dump truck works the gravel run to Mertzon. Can you collect it at the quarry?Yes, if the operator agrees. The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Mertzon Quarry 22.1 miles west of town; ask the site for permission, then send us the address and a contact on site.
