Market Street and M-K, just west of town
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places both the Market Street yard and the M-K yard 1.1 miles west of Jacinto City. A day cab that shuttles boxes between those yards and nearby warehouses may be parked at a yard lot rather than at your home, so tell us which lot and who holds the gate key.
Drayage tractors often sit with a chassis still attached. When you describe yours, say whether the chassis or trailer is part of the sale or belongs to someone else, and send a photo of the VIN plate on the door jamb along with the title so we can match the paperwork to the truck.
Turning Basin Terminal and the Houston port side
Roughly 2.6 miles south-west, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Port of Houston’s Turning Basin Terminal as a roll-on/roll-off facility. Tractors that move vehicles and wheeled cargo off those docks are among the trucks we buy from Jacinto City owners.
If your truck carries a port access sticker or is parked inside a terminal fence, let us know before pickup is booked. We will need the name of a contact who can let our driver in, and you should have the Texas title and current registration in hand, since those are the two documents every sale here starts from.
Tank tractors near the Greens Port crude terminal
East of town by 1.8 miles, the Energy Information Administration records Greens Port Crude by Rail as a petroleum product terminal, and it lists GP West Chemical, another such terminal, 2.4 miles to the south. Tank tractors and the day cabs that pull bulk trailers between those sites fit what we purchase.
Hauling to petroleum and chemical terminals usually leaves a trail of site paperwork: annual inspection reports, hazmat endorsements on the driver side, service logs from the shop that kept the tractor on the road. Gather what you have and send it with photos of the cab, frame and fifth wheel; if you kept nothing, just tell us which terminals the truck served.
Plants east
Mineral processing near Greens Bayou
The Mine Safety and Health Administration registers Vibrantz Minerals LLC as a mineral processing plant 3.2 miles east, with a second facility, Houston Plant, at 3.5 miles in the same direction. Dump trucks, flatbeds and bulk haulers that work processing plants like these are trucks we collect from their yard.
Plant gates keep their own rules for visitors. If your truck is parked on site, give us the plant name, the gate it sits nearest and the hours someone can escort our driver, and we will arrange collection around those details.
Wholesale, plant and freight jobs in Jacinto City
Wholesale trade accounts for 396 of the 2,960 jobs in Jacinto City, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, while manufacturing holds 328 and transportation and warehousing 327. Box trucks, straight trucks and tractors that serve distribution and freight work are what those sectors put on local roads.
That same LEHD release counts 173 construction jobs and 142 in mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction. If your truck is a dump, a vocational body or an oilfield unit, describe the body and any mounted equipment so we know exactly what the sale covers.
Posted bridges and Harris County cattle country
Of the 6 bridges inside Jacinto City in the National Bridge Inventory, 2 carry posted load limits, and the Federal Highway Administration’s records show none under 14 feet of clearance. Our driver plans the route out of town with that in mind, so tell us the gross weight on the title and whether the truck will leave loaded or empty.
Outside town, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,531 farms across Harris County, led by cattle, equine and potted flowering plants. Livestock haulers and nursery box trucks from those operations are welcome too.
