Poles, boards and coil
Logs, lumber and coil loads out of Buna
Of the 55 active carriers based in Buna on FMCSA’s carrier census, 15 list logs, poles, beams or lumber as cargo and 10 list metal sheets, coils or rolls. If your truck is a log tractor with a pole trailer or a flatbed rigged for coil, tell us the trailer setup when you get in touch so we can plan the pickup around it.
On the same FMCSA census, 20 Buna carriers name machinery and other oversized objects as cargo. A lowboy tractor or a heavy-haul unit from around Buna is squarely what we purchase; have the title, the registration and a few photos of the fifth wheel and deck ready before we talk.
Intrastate tractors parked around the Buna area
Intrastate operations account for 38 of the town’s carriers on the FMCSA census, against 17 that run interstate. For most sellers here that means the truck is parked in a yard, a driveway or a job site somewhere in southeast Texas, and that is where we come to collect it.
Across 19 Buna carriers reporting mileage to FMCSA, the median truck logs 25,000 miles a year, and the federal carrier filings put 71 percent of drivers inside a hundred-mile radius. Send the odometer reading with your VIN and tell us the street address where the truck sits.
Owner-operators and company trucks in a small town
Twenty-four Buna carriers on FMCSA’s census are private fleets hauling their own goods rather than for hire. If your truck belongs to a business, bring the company paperwork that shows who signs for it, along with the title in the business name.
The three biggest fleets registered in town run 14, 5 and 4 power units, according to the federal carrier census, so most operators here keep one or two tractors. Selling one truck or several from the same yard works the same way: a VIN, photos and the location for each unit.
Newcomers keep arriving, too: FMCSA records show 5 new carriers registered in Buna in 2025 and 3 in 2024. A truck bought for a startup that is no longer needed can be sold with its current registration and title in hand.
Sidings and a gravel pit
From the Silsbee yard to the Deweyville Plant
Silsbee’s rail yard lies 15 miles west of Buna and the Kirbyville yard 15.4 miles north, both mapped in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that shuttles loads to either siding is usually parked within that triangle, and we can collect it from there.
South-east of town by 15.5 miles, the Deweyville Plant is a sand and gravel operation on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. Dump trucks and aggregate haulers that work the pit are trucks we purchase; tell us the body type and send pictures of the bed and hoist with the cab.
Port runs south
The Orange County port, 22.3 miles south
Down Buna’s southern road, Orange County Nav District, TX is the port the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 22.3 miles away. Trucks that run between Buna and the Orange waterfront can be picked up at either end, so tell us which yard the truck returns to at night.
In the 2023 LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau, manufacturing holds 142 of the 1,051 jobs located in Buna, a 13.5 percent share, while mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction holds 75, or 7.1 percent. Service trucks and haulers tied to plant or extraction work fall within what we purchase; keep any service records with the title.
A Buna title gone missing goes to the Jasper tax office
In Texas, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for a Buna seller that is the Jasper County Tax Office at 271 E Lamar St., Jasper, 75951, 33.2 miles from town. Sellers in Buna whose title has gone astray order the duplicate at that Jasper counter ahead of selling.
Bring the VIN, your identification and any lien release when you visit the Jasper office. Once the replacement title is in your hands, send us a photo of it with the truck pictures and we can arrange collection.
