Sell your semi truck for cash in Corpus Christi the easy and convenient way

Harbor Island Terminal, a petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list, lies 2.3 miles east of the city. A tractor that has shuttled tankers off the island can be collected from your yard on the mainland or from wherever it is parked between loads; give us the street address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

Across the bay, the Moda Ingleside Energy Center sits 5.3 miles north-west on the same Energy Information Administration records, and Bay Ltd., a liquid bulk terminal, is 8.3 miles north according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your rig hauled for either site, send the registration, a photo of the VIN plate and pictures of the fifth wheel and tank hookups so we can match the truck to its paperwork.

The Port of Corpus Christi Northside Terminal, 14.3 miles west, handles roll-on/roll-off cargo as the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records it, and the same agency names Corpus Christi a strategic seaport at 14.6 miles. Car haulers and step-deck tractors that worked those wharves are trucks we buy; tell us which trailer the unit pulled and whether it stays coupled for pickup.

Naval Air Station Corpus Christi is 10.1 miles south-west on Bureau of Transportation Statistics maps. A truck kept on or near a secured installation needs an escort or a gate pass arranged before collection, so mention the base when you first contact us and we will plan the visit with whoever signs us in.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 948 active carriers based in Corpus Christi, of which 547 list general freight, 216 machinery and large objects, 160 oilfield equipment and 125 metal sheets, coils and rolls. Whether you run a dry van, a lowboy for rig moves or a flatbed with coil racks, the tractor and the trailer can be sold together or apart; say which you prefer.

Of those 948, the same federal census counts 798 as intrastate operators, 150 as interstate and 354 as private fleets hauling their own goods. A Texas-only truck still needs its title and current registration in hand; if the title is lost, the state’s title agency issues a certified copy, and we can wait while you request it.

Registrations climbed from 35 new carriers in 2024 to 69 in 2025 on FMCSA filings. Owner-operators who signed up recently and are now selling the one truck they bought should have the bill of sale and any lien release ready, since a lender’s name on the title has to come off before ownership changes.

FMCSA roadside inspection records for 796 trucks checked between August 2024 and August 2026 put the median model year at 2017, with 43.8 percent ten or more years old. Whatever year yours is, the model year, engine make and odometer reading are the first three things we ask for.

Among 176 carriers reporting mileage to the federal motor carrier census, the median truck covers 25,000 miles a year. Tell us where the truck is parked and send the last service record along with the odometer photo.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 place 8,467 of the city’s 134,464 jobs in construction, 4,594 in wholesale trade, 4,008 in manufacturing and 3,903 in transportation and warehousing. County Business Patterns lists 566 construction establishments. If yours is a dump truck, mixer or equipment hauler from one of those outfits, list the body type and attachments when you write in.

One local fleet registered with FMCSA runs 435 power units and 678 drivers; two others run 161 and 126 units. If you manage a group of trucks, send a list with VINs, unit numbers and yard locations, and we can look at every unit in a single visit rather than one call per truck.

Drivers based in town split between 1,772 who stay within 100 miles and 2,515 who range further, on FMCSA’s carrier filings. A sleeper that is out on a run can be sold once it returns; give us its home terminal and the date it is due back.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 549 farms in Nueces County, with cotton, sorghum and corn the leading crops. Grain trucks and module haulers that sit in a barn outside town between harvests are collected where they stand; a farm address and a photo of the title are enough to start.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two mineral processing plants, CIMBAR Resources and the Corpus Processing Facility, 14.4 miles west of the city. Bulk and pneumatic trucks from those sites should come with their maintenance log if you have one, plus photos of the tank and the blower.

Across 253 bridges in the area, the National Bridge Inventory records two with posted load limits and none with clearance under 14 feet. Our carrier plans the route to your truck around those two posted spans, so tell us the nearest cross street when you send the address.

• My tractor sits by Harbor Island; will you come to it there?The Energy Information Administration places Harbor Island Terminal 2.3 miles east of Corpus Christi, and we do collect from there or any lot nearby. Send the address and a contact for the gate.
• Do you buy trucks that hauled oilfield equipment out of Corpus Christi?We buy them; FMCSA’s carrier census lists 160 local carriers hauling oilfield equipment. Send the VIN, title and photos of the tractor and any trailer you want to include.
• Can I sell a cotton or grain truck kept on a Nueces County farm?You can, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 549 farms in Nueces County. We collect from the farm, so give us the address and a photo of the title.
