Terminals and rail yards around Bryan
The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named Bryan just 0.9 miles south-east of town, and the Hearne Blending Terminal 15.8 miles north-west. If your tractor or tank truck is parked at either one, give us the terminal name and a gate contact, and we will collect it from that spot.
Two rail yards appear on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: Hearne, 19.7 miles north-west, and Somerville, 23.4 miles south-west. A day cab that shuttles between those yards and Bryan can be picked up at either end, so tell us which town the keys are in.
For a truck that worked the terminals or the yards, keep the fuel-site passes, load sheets and service records together with the title. Those papers show where the truck has been, and photos of the cab, frame and tires round out the picture before we arrange collection.
Pits and plants south of the city
Burleson Sand, an industrial-mineral mine 19.1 miles south-west, and the Hidalgo Falls Plant, a sand and gravel operation 23.6 miles south-east, are both on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors from those pits can stay where they sit while you sell.
Tell us whether the truck is at the pit, at a contractor’s yard or at your home in Brazos County. With an address and a photo of the bed and the VIN plate, we can plan the pickup without you hauling it back into Bryan.
Bryan carriers by cargo, reach and fleet size
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 661 active carriers in Bryan, 565 of them intrastate, 94 interstate and 193 operating as private fleets. Whichever group you belong to, have your USDOT number and the truck’s registration ready when you reach out.
General freight is listed by 369 of those carriers, according to the same FMCSA census, with 99 hauling machinery and large objects, 76 carrying metal sheets, coils and rolls, and 71 moving farm supplies. Flatbeds and step-decks used on coil and machinery loads belong on the list of what we purchase, and so do the box trucks and tractors on general freight.
New registrations in FMCSA’s census rose from 25 carriers in 2024 to 57 in 2025. If you started up recently and are now selling a single power unit, a clean title in your name or your company’s name is the main document we need.
Fleet size varies widely here: the three biggest operations in FMCSA’s census list 244, 140 and 94 power units. Owners of a whole fleet can send one spreadsheet of VINs, and we will work through the units in the order you choose.
Local miles and the trucks inspected here
Drivers working within 100 miles number 1,359 in FMCSA’s carrier census, against 821 who go further out. FMCSA’s census also shows a median of 25,925 miles a year per truck across the 149 carriers that reported mileage; tell us the town where your truck is usually kept.
Across August 2024 to August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records logged 529 trucks in the Bryan area, putting the median model year at 2017 and the share ten or more years old at 46.7 percent. Note the model year and VIN from the cab card so we can match your truck to its records.
Of the 106 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists around Bryan, 2 are load-posted and none sits under 14 feet. Mention if your truck is parked on a road past one of the posted crossings so we route the pickup truck accordingly.

Getting a Bryan truck ready to sell
A Texas title in the seller’s name is the core document. If it is lost, the state’s title agency issues a certified copy, and you can start that request before we schedule collection.
Along with the title, gather the registration, any service records and four or five clear photos. Include the VIN and the street address in or around Bryan where the truck is parked.
