Pit and plant haulers on Stanton’s outskirts
OnCore 4, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 6.6 miles south of Stanton, is the closest pit to town. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that load there tend to stay parked near the pit or at a yard on the Midland side, so give us that address and we will collect from it.
Strain Quarry, recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as a cement plant 9.2 miles north, pulls haul traffic the other way. If your mixer or bulk tractor worked that plant, have the title, current registration and a few clear photos of the cab and the VIN plate ready before you call.
Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Boreland Mine and Nomad - Midland about twelve miles to the south-west, and Tubb Quarry Plt #1 roughly 21 miles north-east. A tractor that rotated between those sites can sell from wherever it stands today; just tell us which one.
Rack and rail
Tankers at MIDLAND TERMINAL, flatbeds at BIG SPRING
The Energy Information Administration places MIDLAND TERMINAL, a petroleum product terminal, 17.6 miles south-west of Stanton. Tank tractors and fuel trucks that load at a rack like that should come with their tank inspection records if you kept them, since those papers answer our first questions about the unit.
East along the interstate corridor, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the BIG SPRING rail yard 20.6 miles away. Flatbeds and lowboys that shuttle freight off that yard can be collected in Big Spring or back home in Stanton, whichever is easier for you.
Oilfield, machinery and general freight on Stanton plates
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 76 active carriers based in Stanton; 38 list general freight, 23 oilfield equipment, 21 machinery and large objects, and 18 farm supplies. Whatever your rig was set up for, from a winch truck to a hopper bottom, say what it hauled and send the VIN so we know the configuration.
Most of these outfits keep to Texas: the same federal census shows 57 intrastate operators against 19 interstate ones, and 27 that run private fleets for their own business. A private-fleet truck sells the same way as a for-hire one, with a clean title in the registered owner’s name.
Stanton’s top three fleets, as FMCSA registers them, field 52, 30 and 19 power units with 23, 20 and 6 drivers. If you are retiring several units at once, list each VIN and where each one is parked, and we will schedule a single visit.
Inspectors stopped 63 Stanton-registered trucks from October 2024 through August 2026, and FMCSA roadside inspection records show a 2016 median model year, with just under half (49 percent) at ten model years or older. Every model year is welcome here; the year printed on the title is simply one of the first details we ask for.
Fourteen Stanton carriers reported mileage to FMCSA, and their median comes to 15,064 miles a truck per year. Have the current odometer reading handy along with the registration when you get in touch.
Clearance and payroll
Clear bridges and a small job base
None of the nine structures the National Bridge Inventory records around Stanton carries a load posting, and none sits below a fourteen-foot clearance. That leaves room for a tall sleeper or a loaded lowboy to come out of town on the way to pickup without a detour.
Stanton held 818 jobs in 2023 according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with 81 of them, about one in ten, in manufacturing. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau adds 13 construction establishments, the kind of shop that keeps a dump truck or a flatbed in the yard.
Module trucks, cattle trailers
Cotton, cattle and goat outfits around Stanton
Around Stanton, 395 farms in Martin County grow cotton and raise cattle and goats, per USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Module trucks, cattle haulers and grain-bed straight trucks from those operations often sit in a barn lot, and we can load them right there.
A farm truck sometimes carries farm plates or a title still in a parent’s name. Sort out whose name is on the title before we arrive, and if it has gone missing, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues copies through its county tax assessor-collector offices.
