Sell your semi truck for cash in Aransas Pass the easy and convenient way

Bay Ltd., a liquid bulk terminal 4.5 miles south-west of town, appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics port listings. A tractor that has pulled tankers in and out of that gate may still be parked near the dock road, so tell us the yard and who holds the key, and we will plan the collection at that spot rather than asking you to move it.

The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals farther along the same shore: the Ingleside Facility at 5.8 miles and the Moda Ingleside Energy Center at 8.8 miles, both south-west. If your truck served either site, gather any terminal entry cards, hazmat endorsement copies or loading logs you kept, since they let us match the photos you send to the work the tractor actually did.

Of the 49 trucking firms active in Aransas Pass, FMCSA’s carrier census tags 26 as general freight haulers, the leading cargo line in town. Twelve declare machinery and large objects, while steel sheets, coils and rolls and motor vehicles each appear on six registrations. Around Aransas Pass, flatbeds, lowboys and car haulers share yard space with dry vans, and we collect each kind; mention the trailer type in your first message.

Only six of those 49 Aransas Pass carriers are authorized for interstate work, against 43 that operate inside Texas, according to the same federal census. Twenty-five run as private fleets carrying their own goods. A truck kept on in-state work usually has its Texas registration and annual inspection sticker on file locally, so photograph both and have the title in hand before you call.

The three biggest fleets in town, as listed in FMCSA’s carrier census, field 28, 9 and 4 power units, with 22, 5 and 12 drivers respectively. Owners selling several units from a yard like those can send us one list of VINs and plate numbers, and we will set up a single visit for the group instead of separate trips.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 57 drivers in Aransas Pass working within 100 miles of home and 56 driving farther out. A truck from the long-haul side might be sitting at a terminal or a relative’s driveway away from San Patricio County when you decide to sell; give us its current address and we arrange pickup there.

Four new carriers registered here in 2024 and four more in 2025, per FMCSA’s census. If you started an outfit in one of those years and are now winding it down, keep your USDOT number handy along with the truck’s title so we can confirm the vehicle and its registered owner.

Construction accounts for 396 of the roughly 2,400 jobs located in Aransas Pass, a 16.5 percent share in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023. Dump trucks, water trucks and equipment haulers that worked those crews are trucks we collect, and a dump body or crane should be described in your first message so the right trailer comes for it.

The area holds 24 contractor establishments, a tally kept in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. Manufacturing adds 88 local jobs and wholesale trade 52, again by LEHD figures for 2023. If your truck is titled to one of those businesses rather than to you personally, the signer on the title must be someone authorized for the company, so line that person up early.

About 19 to 20 miles west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Port of Corpus Christi’s Northside Terminal at 19.2 miles and its Southside Terminal at 19.8 miles, both roll-on/roll-off docks, with Corpus Christi itself named a strategic seaport at 19.6 miles. Rigs that shuttle cargo between those berths and Aransas Pass can be picked up at either end of the run.

Two mineral processing plants also sit roughly 19 miles west of town in Mine Safety and Health Administration records: the Corpus Processing Facility at 18.7 miles and CIMBAR Resources Inc. at 18.8 miles. A truck that hauled to those plants may carry site access stickers or MSHA visitor logs; photos of them, along with the cab, frame and tires, round out what we need to see.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 620 farms in San Patricio County, with cotton, sorghum and corn as its leading crops. Grain trucks, module haulers and farm tractor-trailers from those fields fit what we buy, whether they are titled to the farm or to a family member.

For a farm truck, photograph the plate and the registration receipt along with the title, and tell us which field or barn the truck is parked at so we can reach it on the county roads.

• My tanker tractor is parked near the Ingleside terminals. Does it have to be brought back into town before pickup?The Ingleside Facility and the Moda Ingleside Energy Center sit 5.8 and 8.8 miles south-west of town in Energy Information Administration listings, and we collect the tractor where it is parked out there. Tell us the yard name and who can open the gate.
• I run a flatbed hauling steel coil out of Aransas Pass. Would a coil-rated flatbed tractor fit what you collect?Six Aransas Pass carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census list metal sheets, coils and rolls as cargo, and flatbed tractors from that work are among what we buy. Send the VIN, photos and the title holder’s name to start.
• Our company owns the truck, not me. What paperwork is needed?Many of the 49 Aransas Pass carriers in FMCSA’s census are businesses, and for a company-titled truck the person signing the Texas title has to be authorized by that company. Have the title, current registration and the signer’s contact details ready.
• The truck is a farm grain truck out in the county. Can collection happen at the cotton or sorghum field where it sits?San Patricio County holds 620 farms by USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we pick up farm trucks on the property where they sit. Give us the field or barn location and any gate instructions.
