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

Hitchcock’s nearest rail yard, Texas City Terminal, lies 6.9 miles to the north-east on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that shuttles between town and that yard is often parked at a lot along the way, so give us the street address where it sits rather than your home address.

Two petroleum product terminals, Texas City at 7.8 miles and HO NGL-Texas City Terminal at 8.6 miles, both north-east, appear in Energy Information Administration listings. If your truck has hauled to either gate, keep any site entry or safety paperwork with the title and send it along with the photos.

East of town, the GALVESTON (BNSF) rail yard lies 10 miles out according to the North American Rail Network. Further along, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records Savage Service Corp at 11.5 miles and Bulk Terminal - Galveston Terminals at 12.1 miles, both liquid bulk terminals.

Port of Galveston Terminal 8 and Terminal 1, roll-on/roll-off terminals at 11.8 and 13.5 miles east on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, round out the island list. A truck based on the island can stay there; tell us the gate or yard and we arrange collection where it stands.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 35 active carriers in Hitchcock, with 19 listing general freight, 7 machinery and large objects, 5 utility work and 4 farm supplies. A flatbed or lowboy from the machinery side and a bucket or service truck from the utility side are both trucks we buy, so tell us the body type along with the tractor or chassis.

Of those carriers, 27 operate intrastate only and 8 cross state lines, while 16 are private fleets hauling their own goods, per the same federal census. Have the Texas registration on hand, and if the truck carried interstate authority, note its USDOT number so the paperwork lines up.

According to FMCSA, the biggest fleet in town fields 11 power units with 7 drivers, and the next two run 4 units each. Owners selling one truck out of a small fleet should send the VIN and photos of that unit alone; we deal with each truck on its own.

Drivers working within 100 miles number 32 here, against 25 who go beyond that radius, in FMCSA carrier filings, and the median among 6 reporting carriers is 32,333 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer before you call and note it with the VIN, since it is one of the first things we ask.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 1,541 jobs in Hitchcock, of which manufacturing holds 317 and construction 267. Dump trucks, mixers and service bodies tied to that work are common on local job sites, and if yours is one, list the body maker and any equipment mounted on the frame.

Hitchcock holds 14 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, a count of firms rather than trucks. If your truck belongs to one of those firms, have the business name on the title match the person signing, or bring a letter showing who may sign for the company.

Galveston County has 563 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, equine and goats leading. Livestock haulers and feed trucks from these operations qualify, and a farm-plated truck needs its title in the owner’s name before collection.

The National Bridge Inventory counts 24 bridges in the area, with none load-posted and none under 14 feet. With no posted or low bridges in that federal record, tell us the pickup spot and we plan the route to it.

• Will you collect a truck parked near the Texas City terminals?The Texas City Terminal rail yard sits 6.9 miles north-east of Hitchcock on the North American Rail Network, and we collect from yards like it. Give us the gate or lot address and a contact on site.
• Is a truck that has never left Texas a problem for selling in Hitchcock?Of the 35 active Hitchcock carriers in FMCSA’s census, 27 are intrastate only, so a truck that never left Texas is the usual case here. Keep the Texas title and current registration together for the Hitchcock pickup.
• My Hitchcock truck’s title has gone missing - what now?A lost Hitchcock title is replaced through the state’s title agency in Texas. Begin that replacement early and mention it when you first describe the Hitchcock truck to us.
• Will you take a cattle or horse hauler off a Galveston County farm?USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lists 563 farms in Galveston County, led by cattle, equine and goats, and trucks from those farms are welcome. Photos of the box or trailer hitch plus the VIN let us begin.
