Freight, machinery and coils out of Corsicana
General freight leads the cargo lines in Corsicana: 152 of the town’s 263 active carriers claim it on FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck is a van or reefer tractor that has spent its working life on general loads, have the title, the current registration and the VIN in hand when you call, and we can start from there.
Machinery and large objects appear on 48 Corsicana carrier registrations in the federal census, while metal sheets, coils and rolls and motor vehicles each show up on 24. Lowboys, step-decks, coil-rated flatbeds and car haulers all come out of that mix. Photograph the deck, the tie-down points and the tractor together, so we can see the whole rig before we talk about collecting it.
Of those 263 carriers, FMCSA lists 205 as intrastate only and 58 as crossing state lines, and 84 run private fleets hauling their own goods. Tell us which of those your truck worked under and have its title and registration ready, whether it stayed inside Texas or ran across the border.
The age and mileage of Corsicana’s working trucks
Half the local fleet, 51.3 percent, was ten or more model years old when inspected, and the median year was 2015, going by FMCSA roadside inspection records for 232 trucks stopped from September 2024 to August 2026. Whatever the year of yours, tell us the model year and the engine, and send a clear shot of the door sticker.
Sixty-seven Corsicana carriers report annual mileage to FMCSA, and the median among them is 35,000 miles per truck. Read the odometer before you get in touch and include it in your first message along with the VIN.
The three biggest fleets in town, by FMCSA’s carrier census, run 88, 25 and 18 power units with 27, 23 and 13 drivers. If you manage a fleet like one of those and are letting several units go at once, list each VIN and where each truck sits, and we can plan the pickups as one job.
The HILL yard and the fuel terminals west of town
Just 1.8 miles north-east of Corsicana sits the HILL rail yard, mapped in the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. A tractor that has shuttled between that yard and local shippers is likely parked close to town, which keeps the collection simple; give us the street address and a gate contact.
Two petroleum product terminals sit within reach, per the Energy Information Administration: ENNIS PLANT, 21.5 miles north-west, and FROST, 24.7 miles to the west. Tank tractors that have loaded at either one are trucks we buy. Keep any terminal access records or tank inspection paperwork with the title, since it tells the truck’s history better than a description can.
Mines and gravel pits around Navarro County
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Patriot Mining and Materials, an industrial-mineral mine 14 miles north-east, and Arcosa Streetman Plant # 1605, 14.3 miles south-east. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that serve those sites are often parked at the mine or at the owner’s yard, so tell us which, and whether site rules mean someone has to meet us there.
Ennis Sand & Gravel sits 15.6 miles north and the 2229 Seven Points operation 18.9 miles north-east, both on MSHA’s register of sand and gravel operations. If your truck works a pit and you cannot leave the job to meet us, a photo of the title, the registration and the truck from all four sides lets us line up everything else at a distance.
Manufacturing, construction and the trucks behind them
Manufacturing employs 2,938 people in Corsicana, 21.7 percent of the 13,514 jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts recorded for 2023. Box trucks and straight trucks running parts and finished goods between plants are part of what we purchase; let us know the body type and the body length when you write.
Construction accounts for 915 local jobs on those same LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns counts 48 construction establishments here. Contractor-owned dump trucks, water trucks and flatbeds often sit at a job site rather than a yard, and we can collect from either once you tell us the address.
Transportation and warehousing hold 458 jobs and wholesale trade 452 by the LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns lists four warehousing establishments. A day cab that moves freight between those docks should come with its title and any service records you kept, which help us understand it before we arrive.
Cattle, corn and cotton across the county
Cattle, corn and cotton top the list across Navarro County’s 2,213 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Livestock tractors, grain trucks and module haulers from those farms are trucks we buy, and they are usually parked on the farm itself, so send us the road and gate details for the property.
Whatever plates a Navarro County farm truck carries, the signed title is what transfers it, so locate it before you call. If it has gone missing, tell us at the start and we will walk through the replacement with you before anything is scheduled.
The questions we get asked in Corsicana
- The dump truck sits at a sand pit up toward Ennis, and I work there all week. Can the pickup happen on site?Ennis Sand & Gravel lies 15.6 miles north of Corsicana on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and a truck parked there or at any pit nearby can be collected where it stands. Give us the site name and whoever can let us through the gate.
- My tractor is a 2015. Is that a typical year for trucks around Corsicana?Roadside inspections of 232 Corsicana-area trucks, logged by FMCSA, put the median model year at exactly 2015, so a tractor that year sits right in the middle of the local fleet. Include the VIN, the odometer reading and four-side photos in your first message.
- Our company’s private fleet in Corsicana only ever hauled its own goods. Do those trucks qualify?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 84 private fleets among Corsicana’s 263 carriers, and their trucks are ones we buy. Have the title for each unit in the company’s name and a contact who can sign for it.
