Rails below Mauriceville
A siding 2.3 miles down and a port at 7.4
A rail yard named MAURICEVILLE lies 2.3 miles south of town on the North American Rail Network, the map kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A day cab that shuttles freight to and from that siding is the kind of tractor we buy here, and it can be collected from the yard’s edge or from your home lot. Send the VIN, a cab photo and a shot of the fifth wheel when you first contact us.
Heading 7.4 miles south, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Orange County Nav District, TX as a port. If your truck hauls to the docks there and sits near the water between runs, tell us the gate and who holds the key, and we arrange the collection around that site rather than asking you to move it.
Farther toward Orange, the DUPONT ORANGE rail yard appears 13.6 miles south-east on the same North American Rail Network. Tractors that alternate between the two yards often carry two sets of yard credentials; keep those with the registration so the paperwork reads as one record.
North-east to the pit
Sand and gravel trucks from the Deweyville Plant
Up the road 6.1 miles north-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Deweyville Plant as a sand and gravel operation. Tandem dump trucks and end-dump trailers that load there are welcome sales for us, whether the truck is parked at the plant gate or back in a Mauriceville yard.
For a dump truck, photograph the bed raised and lowered, the hoist, the tag axle if it has one and the plate on the door jamb. Service records for the hoist and the body, if you kept them, go in the same envelope as the title.
Tankers between NECHES and the Beaumont seaport
South-west of town, the Energy Information Administration places the NECHES petroleum product terminal 15.5 miles out and the BEAUMONT MARINE RP EAST TERMINAL at 16.3 miles. Tank tractors working that corridor are trucks we purchase, and their terminal access cards and any site inspection sheets help us read the truck’s work history.
Between those two, the Jefferson Energy Terminal Site sits 16.2 miles away as a liquid bulk terminal in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and the same agency names Beaumont, TX, 16.8 miles south-west, a strategic seaport. If your tractor is parked near Beaumont, give us that address; we collect it there, with no need to bring it back up toward Mauriceville.
Shop and plant work in Mauriceville
Mauriceville holds 300 jobs in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), and manufacturing accounts for 56 of them, an 18.7 percent share. Box trucks, flatbeds and service bodies that run parts and materials for local shops are part of what we take in.
Around Mauriceville, plenty of work trucks are parked at the owner’s home. Tell us whether yours sits on gravel, a paved pad or a field, and mention any low wires or tight gates near it.
Orange County pasture
Livestock haulers around Mauriceville
Across Orange County, 513 farms appear in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, equine and goats lead the county’s list. Stock trailers, gooseneck haulers and the pickups and medium-duty trucks that pull them belong on our list too.
If the truck works a pasture off a county road, send a pin or directions to the gate along with photos of the hitch and the trailer, if it goes with the sale. A hay or feed flatbed parked behind a barn is just as easy for us to load out.
Missing title
Replacing a lost title through the county tax office
In Texas the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles certified copies of a title, and its process runs through the county tax assessor-collector offices. If the title for your truck has gone missing, start that request before you list the truck, and keep the receipt to show us where it stands.
Have the registration, your driver’s license and any lien release ready when you go in to the county tax assessor-collector office. A truck still carrying a lien can be sold once the lender’s release is on paper, so ask the lender for it at the same time.
