Skidmore has 15 active carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and the one with the most equipment fields 4 power units and 4 drivers. If you own one of those trucks yourself, keep the title, the registration and the cab card together before you get in touch.
Six of the town’s 15 are private fleets in that FMCSA census, moving their own goods rather than hauled-for-hire loads. If your truck belongs to a ranch, a farm supply business or a contractor rather than a trucking company, it still qualifies; tell us who holds the title so the bill of sale goes to the right name.
Next to its two-truck neighbours, one Skidmore carrier on FMCSA’s list runs 3 power units with a single driver. Spare tractors like that often sit parked at the yard, and a parked truck is easy for us to collect: send the address, the VIN and a few photos of the cab, the frame and the tires.
Winch trucks, lowboys and dry vans out of Skidmore
On FMCSA’s roster, 11 of the town’s carriers name general freight as their cargo. Day cabs and sleepers pulling dry vans and flatbeds fit that work; have the registration and any service records ready, and say which trailer the tractor usually pulled.
Four Skidmore carriers declare oilfield equipment to FMCSA, and four declare machinery and large objects. Winch trucks, lowboy tractors and heavy-spec haulers from that work are trucks we buy; list the bed, the winch or the fifth-wheel setup when you write to us so the questions that follow are about the right truck.
One interstate carrier, fourteen that stay in Texas
In FMCSA’s census, 14 of Skidmore’s 15 carriers operate intrastate only, and just one crosses state lines. For most sellers here that means a Texas title and Texas registration, which keeps the paperwork simple: one state’s title, one owner’s signature.
Within a hundred-mile radius is where 14 carriers on the federal list keep their drivers, while 9 also send drivers farther out, per the same FMCSA records. Whichever pattern your truck follows, we come to it: tell us whether it is home in Skidmore or parked at a job site elsewhere in Texas.
Cattle haulers and cotton module trucks
Around Skidmore and across the rest of Bee County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 743 farms, with cattle, cotton and corn at the top of the list. Cattle haulers, grain trucks and module trucks from that work are part of what we buy, including ones titled to a farm or ranch rather than a person.
Three of the town’s carriers tell FMCSA they haul farm supplies. A truck that spends half the year in a barn between harvests can be collected from the farm itself; give us the gate location and whether a tow truck can reach it, and keep the title with the truck.
A stone pit and a naval landing field
Tuleta Pit, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 21.7 miles north of Skidmore, is the nearest mine on record. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul stone from a quarry like that are trucks we purchase; tell us whether yours worked the pit and send photos of the bed and hoist.
Up the same direction, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places NALF Goliad, a military installation, 24.1 miles from town. If your truck is parked on or near a site with gated access, tell us when you contact us so pickup can be arranged with whoever controls the gate.
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Skidmore that is the Bee County Tax Office in Beeville, 78102, which the agency lists about 10 miles from town. If the title is missing, that is where a certified copy is requested.
Bring a photo ID and the VIN to the Beeville counter, along with a lien release if a lender was ever on the title. Once the replacement is in hand, send us a photo of the front so we can check that the name and VIN match the truck.
The questions we get asked in Skidmore
- Is a Skidmore winch or lowboy truck something you take?Four Skidmore carriers list oilfield equipment as cargo with FMCSA, and their winch, lowboy and heavy-haul trucks are among the trucks we buy. Send the VIN, the registration and photos of the bed or fifth wheel.
- Can you collect from a Bee County ranch gate?Bee County’s 743 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture include plenty of gated ranch land, and we collect from the farm itself. Tell us the gate location and whether a tow truck can get to the truck.
- Can a ranch or business sell its truck, not just a person?Six of Skidmore’s 15 active carriers in FMCSA’s census are private fleets hauling their own goods, and trucks titled to a business or ranch qualify. Whoever is named on the title signs the paperwork.
