Storage terminals off the west edge of Mont Belvieu
The Energy Information Administration lists ONEOK Mont Belvieu Storage 1.5 miles west of town and the Mont Belvieu Storage Facility 1.7 miles west, two petroleum product terminals almost side by side. A tractor that has shuttled between those gates may well be parked at a yard close to them when you call, so give us the street address and the name of whoever controls access to the lot.
Targa Resources appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics port records as a liquid bulk terminal 2.2 miles west of Mont Belvieu. If your tractor pulled tank trailers into that site, send the VIN, a clear photo of the title, and any terminal access or safety paperwork you kept; those papers show where the truck worked before we ever see it.
Cove transload yards and the Barbours Cut terminal
South of town, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the IDS Transload yard 5.8 miles out and the Cove yard 5.9 miles out. Day cabs that run short hops between railcars and plant gates often end the shift parked right at a transload site, and we can collect from there once you tell us which yard and who holds the key.
Barbours Cut, a port roll-on/roll-off terminal 14.7 miles south-west on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, is the nearest dock on the list for this town. A tractor that has pulled chassis out of Barbours Cut does not need to come back to Mont Belvieu for the sale; photos of the cab, frame, fifth wheel and tires plus the registration card are enough to start.
Sand and gravel pits on either side of the county line
Two sand and gravel operations sit within a short drive: Right Way, 10.1 miles west, and the South Liberty Plant, 11.1 miles north-east, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that haul from pits like these are trucks we buy, and a pit yard is a fine place for us to collect one.
When a truck has been working an MSHA-listed site, any mine-site inspection sheets or service records belong in the packet with the title. If the title is lost, a replacement comes through the state’s title agency, and it helps to start that request before you send us photos.
Mont Belvieu carriers: lumber, machinery and general loads
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 14 active carriers based in Mont Belvieu; 9 list general freight, 5 list logs, poles, beams and lumber, 5 list machinery and large objects, and 4 list farm supplies. That spread covers flatbeds, lowboys and box trucks as well as tractors, and every one of those body types is something you can sell to us.
Mont Belvieu’s 14 FMCSA-registered carriers divide into 8 crossing state lines and 6 working only inside Texas, with 5 of them private fleets moving their own freight. The largest fleet based here reports 12 power units and 9 drivers in FMCSA filings, so a small operator selling one tractor or a fleet thinning out several units can both reach us the same way.
Drivers on FMCSA registrations for Mont Belvieu carriers split 11 working within 100 miles and 30 working beyond it, and the 7 carriers that report mileage show a median of 42,857 miles per truck. A long-haul tractor may be sitting at a terminal in another state when you decide to sell; tell us where it is and we plan the collection there.
A 2017 median for trucks stopped around Mont Belvieu
The 300 Mont Belvieu trucks stopped at roadside checks from September 2024 to August 2026 carry a median model year of 2017 in FMCSA roadside inspection records. Have the model year, engine make and odometer reading ready when you contact us, since those three details let us identify the truck from the start.
The same roadside inspection records show 44.33 percent of those 300 trucks were ten or more model years old. Whatever the year on your title, bring the registration, the title and any service history you have, and we will work from what the truck is.
Warehouse floors, building crews and rice farms
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) record 5,786 jobs in Mont Belvieu for 2023, with 1,455 in transportation and warehousing, 592 in construction and 329 in manufacturing. Box trucks, yard tractors and straight trucks tied to warehouse work are all on our list, as are the dump and flatbed trucks that construction keeps busy.
Around Mont Belvieu, 43 construction outfits and 18 warehousing establishments are on the books, according to the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. For a contractor’s truck, keep the title in the business name it is registered under and have someone authorised to sign for the company on hand.
USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 491 farms in Chambers County, with rice, cattle and honey at the top. Farm trucks and grain or livestock haulers parked out at a ranch or rice field can be collected right there; send directions to the gate along with the photos.
