Petroleum and liquid bulk terminals south-east of Bedford
The Energy Information Administration places one petroleum product terminal 2.9 miles south-east of Bedford and the EULESS LOADING FACILITY 3.3 miles out in the same direction. If your tractor loads at either rack, tell us which one and whether a gate pass is needed, so the collection crew knows how to reach it.
Two liquid bulk terminals appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings at 3.8 and 8.1 miles south-east of town. A tank truck parked at a terminal lot can stay there; give us the lot address, the name of whoever holds the key, and photos of the cab, the tank and the data plate.
Keep the title and current Texas registration together with any terminal loading records you have. Those papers, plus the VIN, are what we ask for first on a fuel hauler from Bedford.
Hauling to the TREX STATION yard east of town
TREX STATION, a rail yard 6.9 miles east of Bedford, is listed in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The same North American Rail Network lists GARRETT, another yard, 8.6 miles south-east.
A day cab that shuttles freight to these yards may be parked near a rail lot rather than at home in Bedford. Send us the street address where it sits, and say whether it is inside a fenced yard, so the pickup is planned around access.
Along with the address, send photos of the fifth wheel, the frame rails and the tires.
Bedford carriers: freight vans, flatbeds and bulk
Of the 136 active Bedford carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, general freight is a listed cargo for 95. Sixteen each haul dry bulk commodities, logs and lumber, or metal sheets, coils and rolls, so flatbed and bulk tractors are part of the local mix alongside vans.
Of those carriers, 84 run intrastate only, 49 run interstate and 23 are private fleets, according to the same FMCSA census. For an interstate tractor, have the cab card and any IFTA paperwork ready; for an intrastate truck, the Texas registration and title are usually enough to start.
Bedford added 10 newly registered carriers in 2024 and 16 more in 2025, going by FMCSA filings. The three biggest Bedford fleets in that census operate 124, 31 and 20 power units, and owner-operators with a single tractor sell to us the same way they do.
What roadside stops show about Bedford tractors
Across 127 trucks from Bedford carriers stopped between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records show a median model year of 2019. Those FMCSA inspection records also show about 26 percent of the inspected trucks at ten or more model years old.
Among the 29 local carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median works out to 30,620 miles per truck per year. Note the odometer reading when you photograph the dash, and include it with the VIN when you contact us.
If you have service records from a shop or a fleet maintenance program, scan or photograph them. They travel with the truck and save a round of questions later.
Job sites, supply yards and Tarrant County cattle
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 23,914 jobs in Bedford, including 488 in construction, 379 in wholesale trade, 312 in manufacturing and 164 in transportation and warehousing. Bedford’s 64 construction establishments come from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns.
Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks that work job sites and supply yards around Bedford all fit what we purchase. If the truck sits at a contractor’s yard, tell us the yard address and who can let us in.
Tarrant County had 1,000 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, equine and wheat as the leading products. A livestock hauler or grain truck kept on a county farm can be collected at the farm gate; send a pin drop or directions.
Low clearances and load-posted spans in Bedford
The National Bridge Inventory from the Federal Highway Administration records 63 bridges in Bedford, with none under 14 feet of clearance. Just one of those 63 bridges carries a posted load limit in the National Bridge Inventory.
That leaves few routing limits on a tall or heavy truck collected here. Tell us if the truck carries an oversized body or is parked behind a low carport, and we will bring the right equipment.
