Fuel tankers beside Hodge and North yards
The Energy Information Administration places a petroleum blending terminal 2.4 miles south-west of Haltom City and an ethanol terminal 3.2 miles west. A tractor that has pulled fuel or ethanol tankers out of either gate can be collected from wherever it sits, so give us the street address of the lot and the name of whoever holds the key.
Hodge, a rail yard 2.7 miles west of town, and the North yard at 3.6 miles both appear in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. If your day cab has shuttled boxes or loads between those yards and local docks, send us the VIN, the title and a set of photos showing the cab, frame and fifth wheel.
Tank work west and north-west of town
Two liquid bulk terminals turn up in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings near Haltom City, one 3.9 miles west and another 6.5 miles north-west. Tankers and the tractors that pull them off those sites are trucks we buy; tell us which terminal the unit worked from so we know where to look for it.
Keep any wash-out tickets, tank inspection certificates and service records together with the registration before you contact us. A tanker tractor with its paperwork in one folder lets us ask fewer questions about where it has been.
Who registers trucks in Haltom City and what they move
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 306 active carriers based in Haltom City; 169 of them list general freight, 30 haul metal sheets, coils and rolls, 28 carry machinery and large objects, and 27 move dry bulk commodities. Whether yours is a box truck, a flatbed set up for coil or a lowboy tractor, tell us the body type and the trailer it usually pulls.
Intrastate-only operators number 239 and interstate ones 67 in the federal registry FMCSA keeps, and 73 haul their own goods as private carriers. A private-carrier truck may be titled to the parent company rather than to a driver, so check whose name is on the title before we arrange the sale.
New registrations in town reached 31 in 2024 and 25 in 2025 on FMCSA’s census. If you started your operating authority recently and are now letting a truck go, have the title, the current registration and your USDOT number to hand.
Model years and driver range on Tarrant County roads
Across 304 trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records show a median model year of 2019, with 39.5 percent of those trucks ten or more model years old. Tell us the model year, engine and transmission when you first get in touch, and we will work from there whatever year the truck is.
The federal carrier census splits Haltom City drivers almost evenly: 380 stay within 100 miles and 381 go beyond it. A truck on a long run when you decide to sell can be picked up at the yard where it finishes, not only at home.
Haltom City’s three biggest operations by count, according to FMCSA, run 64, 38 and 19 power units. If you are clearing several units from a fleet that size, send a list of VINs and where each one is parked, and we will plan collections truck by truck.
Haltom City’s factory and contractor payrolls
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 20,832 jobs in Haltom City in 2023, with manufacturing holding 2,919 of them, construction 2,554, wholesale trade 1,517 and transportation and warehousing 1,207. Dump trucks, flatbeds and straight trucks that serve those sites are on our list; photograph the bed or body as well as the cab.
Tarrant County’s 154 construction establishments and 3 warehousing establishments are tallied in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your truck sits on a contractor’s yard, tell us who controls the gate so collection can be arranged with them directly.
Bridges, bases and Tarrant County farm hauling
None of the 41 bridges the National Bridge Inventory lists in Haltom City is load-posted, and none is under 14 feet of clearance, according to the Federal Highway Administration. Give us the exact pickup address and any gate or yard restrictions so the collection truck arrives ready.
Tarrant County had 1,000 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, horses and wheat. Livestock haulers, horse-trailer pickups and grain trucks from those operations are trucks we buy; have the title in the owner’s name and note where on the property the truck is kept.
Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings show two military installations near town, one 5.3 miles north-west at Saginaw and a naval air station 10 miles west. If your truck is parked near either and access needs a pass, say so up front and tell us where it can be reached instead.
The questions we get asked in Haltom City
- My tractor is parked by the Hodge rail yard west of Haltom City; must I move it first?Leave it there: the North American Rail Network places Hodge 2.7 miles west of town, so give us the lot address and a contact for the gate and we collect it on site.
