Sell your semi truck for cash in Van Horn the easy and convenient way

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Van Horn Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, just 1.6 miles west of town. Dump trucks and tractors that move stone off a site like that are trucks we buy, and a pickup that close to Van Horn means the truck can stay parked at the yard or at your place while we come to it.

If your truck has hauled stone from the quarry, send photos of the cab, the bed or trailer, the frame and the tires, plus the VIN. Tell us whether it sits inside a gated site, so we can arrange access with whoever holds the keys.

Van Horn has 25 active trucking companies on the rolls of FMCSA’s carrier census. Fifteen of them list general freight, seven carry machinery and large objects, five haul dry bulk commodities and four do driveaway or towaway work, so a seller here might have anything from a van trailer rig to a lowboy tractor.

FMCSA’s carrier census also shows that 10 of those Van Horn carriers are authorized for interstate work, 15 run intrastate only, and 7 are private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever group your truck belongs to, have the title and the current registration on hand, and tell us if the truck still carries a USDOT number on the doors.

The three biggest fleets on file with FMCSA’s carrier census in Van Horn run 10, 6 and 4 power units, with 10, 4 and 5 drivers. Owners of outfits that size often sell one tractor while keeping the rest on the road, and we handle a single truck the same way we handle several.

New registrations stay modest here: the FMCSA register shows four new Van Horn carriers in 2025 and two in 2024. If you started up recently and are now selling, bring your operating paperwork along with the title, since it ties the truck to the authority it ran under.

Among the drivers reported to FMCSA’s carrier census by Van Horn carriers, 20 work inside a hundred-mile radius and 37 travel past it. A truck in the second group may be parked out of state when you call; tell us where it is and we will plan the collection around that spot rather than town.

Nine Van Horn carriers filed yearly mileage with FMCSA, and the middle figure among their trucks sits at 16,000 miles; keep the current odometer reading next to the VIN when you get in touch, since those two answer most of our first questions.

Culberson County holds 73 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with goats listed as the leading line of livestock. Stock trailers, flatbeds and ranch trucks that carry animals and feed across those holdings are part of what we buy, and they can be collected right at the ranch.

In Van Horn, agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting account for 70 of the 631 jobs, an 11.1 percent share, in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. If a farm truck has spent years on a ranch without regular registration, tell us its current status and we will walk you through the paperwork.

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and Van Horn’s is the Culberson County Tax Office at 300 La Caverna Dr., Van Horn, 79855, about 0.3 miles from the center of town. A missing title can be replaced there, so a lost one does not have to stop a sale.

Bring photo identification and the VIN to the tax office on La Caverna, along with any loan payoff letter if the truck was financed. Once the replacement is in hand, send us a photo of it with the truck pictures and we can move ahead.

• Do you buy trucks that haul from the Van Horn Quarry?The Van Horn Quarry sits 1.6 miles west of town on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and dump trucks or tractors that work it are trucks we buy. Send photos and the VIN, and tell us whether the truck is inside the quarry gate.
• Whose counter in Van Horn handles a missing title for a tractor or dump truck?Just 0.3 miles from the middle of Van Horn, the Culberson County Tax Office at 300 La Caverna Dr. reissues titles on behalf of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles; take your ID and the truck’s VIN with you.
• Can you pick up a Van Horn truck that is parked out of state?Thirty-seven drivers from Van Horn carriers work beyond a hundred-mile radius on FMCSA’s carrier census, so trucks here are often away from town. Give us the address where your tractor sits, even if it is across a state line, and the pickup is set up at that spot.
• Will you buy a stock trailer rig from a Culberson County goat ranch?Goats lead the livestock across Culberson County’s 73 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and ranch trucks and the rigs that pull stock trailers are on our list. The truck can be picked up on the ranch where it works.
