Logging Yard and Eighth Avenue
Rail yards a few miles up the line from Edgecliff Village
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places Logging Yard 3.8 miles north of Edgecliff Village and the 8th Avenue yard 4.2 miles north. If your day cab has spent its shifts shuttling freight between those two yards and customers around the county, write down which yard it worked from when you contact us.
A truck that sits inside a fenced rail lot needs someone who can let us in. Give us the yard name, the gate or lot where the tractor is parked, and a phone number for whoever holds the key, and the pickup can be planned around that gate rather than around your schedule.
Tankers that load at the terminals north of town
Per the Energy Information Administration, two petroleum product terminals sit north of town: the South Terminal at 9.2 miles and the Blending Terminal at 10.3 miles. Tractors that pull fuel tankers out of those racks are trucks we purchase, along with the straight trucks that deliver to stations across Tarrant County.
Hazmat haulers tend to carry more paperwork than other rigs, and that paperwork is useful to send. Keep the title, current registration and any tank or cargo inspection records together, and photograph the tractor from all four sides plus the cab interior and the odometer.
Dump trucks from the sand pits east and west of town
Two sand and gravel operations appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records near Edgecliff Village: Portable #1, 11 miles south-east, and H J G Trucking Sand Pit, 11.3 miles north-west. Tandem dump trucks, end dumps and the tractors that pull belly dumps are the usual fleet at pits like these.
If your dump truck is still parked at a pit, tell us which one and whether a pickup can reach the spot it sits in. Send photos of the bed, the hoist and the chassis plate, and have the VIN ready, since that number answers most of our first questions.
A naval air station and an Air Force plant
Two military installations lie north-west of the town in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings: NAS Fort Worth JRB TX at 9.5 miles and Air Force Plant 4 at 10.4 miles. Contractors who supply those bases run box trucks, flatbeds and tractors on the roads between them and Edgecliff Village.
A truck that has worked a base contract can be collected from a contractor’s yard off the installation. Tell us the yard address and confirm the truck is not behind a security gate that needs a pass, so the driver we send can get to it.
Town and ranch
A small Edgecliff Village job base beside Tarrant County ranch country
Edgecliff Village held 358 jobs in 2023 according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, so a truck owned here often earns its living elsewhere in the county. We collect from your driveway, your shop or the job site where the truck is parked.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,000 farms in Tarrant County, with cattle, equine and wheat as the leading products. Livestock haulers, horse trailers’ tow trucks and grain trucks working those operations are welcome here, and a farm truck can be picked up straight from the property.
Getting the Texas title in order before Edgecliff Village pickup
Before an Edgecliff Village truck changes hands, the title should carry the seller’s name. If the title for a truck kept in Edgecliff Village is lost, the state’s title agency issues a replacement; request it before you contact us so the paperwork is in hand.
Along with the title, have the current registration and any service records you keep. If a lender still holds a lien on the truck, tell us at the start and include the lender’s name, so the release can be arranged as part of the sale.
