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

Nederland sits in Jefferson County between Beaumont and Port Arthur, with two petroleum product terminals inside a mile and a half of town and the Port Arthur docks to the south-east. The trucks registered here haul general freight, machinery, lumber and household goods along that short corridor.

Selling a truck in Nederland? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Two petroleum terminals on the north edge of town

The Energy Information Administration places the Nederland Terminal 1.3 miles north of town and the Beaumont Terminal 1.5 miles to the north-east, both petroleum product terminals. A tractor that has shuttled between those gates and the Golden Triangle is a truck we buy, and it will usually be parked within a few minutes of either one. Tell us which terminal it last loaded at so the collection driver knows the approach.

Beaumont I, a liquid bulk terminal 4.1 miles north-west on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, adds a third loading point inside five miles. If your truck pulled tank trailers between these three sites, send the VIN, a photo of the door plate and any terminal access or inspection paperwork you kept, since that history travels with the sale.

Port Arthur berths

Docks and ro-ro berths south-east toward Port Arthur

South-east of Nederland, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Port Arthur as a port 6.5 miles out, the Port of Port Arthur roll-on/roll-off terminal at 8.3 miles, and Port Arthur as a strategic seaport at 8.4 miles. A day cab that has worked container or breakbulk moves off those berths can be collected where it sits, whether that is a yard in Port Arthur or a driveway on the Nederland side.

If the truck is inside a fenced port lot, give us the lot name and a person who can let our driver through the gate. Have the Texas title in the registered owner’s name, the current registration and the keys together, and the pickup can be booked around the lot’s hours.

Chaisson and the Port of Beaumont rail yards

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Chaisson yard 7.1 miles north-west and the Port of Beaumont yard 8.2 miles in the same direction. Drayage tractors moving freight between those yards and the Nederland terminals are part of what we purchase here.

For a tractor that works rail drayage, photos of the cab, the frame rails, the fifth wheel and each axle’s tires help us understand the truck before we arrange anything. Add the odometer reading and the engine make, and say whether the unit is parked at a yard or at home.

81 carriers between the terminals and the port

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 81 active carriers based in Nederland: 25 cleared for interstate work, 56 operating within Texas only, and 29 private fleets hauling their own goods. Whichever group your truck belongs to, the paperwork we ask for is the same: title, registration and your USDOT number if the truck carried one.

General freight is listed by 47 of those carriers, machinery and large objects by 14, logs, poles, beams and lumber by 10, and household goods by 6, per the same FMCSA census. That spread means flatbeds, lowboy tractors, log trucks and moving vans all appear among Nederland’s registered equipment, and every one of those body types is a truck we take.

Fleet sizes in the FMCSA carrier census run from one operator with 33 power units and 34 drivers to two others near ten units each, alongside 8 new carriers registered in 2025 and 1 in 2024. A fleet owner selling several units at once can list every VIN in one message and we will arrange the collections together.

Short hauls and 2021 model years in Nederland

Drivers at Nederland carriers split 236 working within 100 miles and 84 going beyond it, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, and the 24 carriers reporting mileage show a median of 16,288 miles per truck. A short-haul unit like that is usually home each night, so collection at the owner’s address or the carrier’s yard is the usual arrangement.

FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 107 Nederland-based trucks stopped from September 2024 to August 2026, putting their median model year at 2021 and 21.5 percent at ten or more model years. Late-model or older, bring the title and any service records you have, and describe the truck plainly in your first message.

Construction jobs, county farms and the bridges between them

Construction accounts for 523 of Nederland’s 6,899 jobs in 2023 under the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with transportation and warehousing at 378, manufacturing at 164 and oil and gas extraction at 71. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau list 48 construction establishments, and dump trucks, mixers and equipment haulers from those firms are trucks we buy.

Jefferson County holds 612 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, rice and honey at the top, so cattle haulers and grain trucks also come off county farms around Nederland. The National Bridge Inventory records 20 bridges in the area, one of them load-posted and none under 14 feet, so a loaded tractor or a tall box truck can be reached by our collection rig on the local roads.

The questions we get asked in Nederland

  • Our day cab sits in a lot by the Nederland Terminal on the north side, so does it have to leave that lot before you collect?The Energy Information Administration puts the Nederland Terminal 1.3 miles north of town, and we collect from terminal lots and the streets around them. Tell us who controls the lot and when the gate is open.
  • I ran my truck out of Port Arthur but live in Nederland. Which of the two towns do you collect from?Port Arthur sits 6.5 miles south-east on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics port list, and we pick up at either end of that drive. Give us the address where the truck is parked today.
  • The Texas title for my Nederland tractor has gone missing, so where do I turn for a new one?Replacement Texas titles come from the state’s title agency, and the registered owner on the Nederland truck is the person who applies. Tell us the title is missing when you first contact us so we can plan around it.
  • Do you buy log trucks and lowboys from Nederland carriers?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 10 Nederland carriers hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber and 14 hauling machinery and large objects, and both kinds of truck are on our list. Send the VIN and photos of the tractor and trailer.
