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

Ecleto Creek Mine, an industrial-mineral operation, lies 12.9 miles north-west of Nixon on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that has worked that run can be collected at the mine gate or at your yard in town, whichever is easier for you; give us the exact spot and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.

South-west of town, the Gillett Plant crushed-stone quarry is 15.1 miles out, and the Lindeman Pit sand and gravel operation sits 17.2 miles to the north-east, both recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck hauled aggregate between those sites, send photos of the body, the hoist and the cab together with the VIN so we can see the whole unit before we talk.

FMCSA’s carrier census shows 42 active carriers based in Nixon, and 40 of them are registered for intrastate work while only 2 cross state lines. For a seller that usually means Texas plates and a Texas title, which keeps the paperwork within one state agency.

General freight is the cargo 26 of those carriers list, according to the same FMCSA census, with grain, feed and hay and with machinery and large objects each named by 7, and logs, poles, beams and lumber by 6. Flatbeds, livestock-ready tractors and lowboys all fit that mix, so tell us what trailer the tractor usually pulled when you first get in touch.

Nine of the Nixon carriers in the FMCSA census are private fleets hauling their own goods, and one firm runs 37 power units with 52 drivers. If you are clearing several trucks out of a yard like that, list each VIN and where each unit is parked, and we can plan one collection around the lot.

Of the drivers working for Nixon carriers, 107 stay inside a hundred-mile radius and 28 go farther, on FMCSA’s carrier census. That puts most of the trucks we would collect somewhere in Gonzales County or the counties beside it, so a farm gate or a shop lot is a perfectly good pickup point.

A Nixon tractor logs a median of 35,000 miles a year across the 13 local carriers that report annual mileage to FMCSA. Have the current odometer reading and the VIN ready before you call; those two numbers answer most of our first questions.

Fifty-five Nixon-based trucks were stopped between September 2024 and August 2026, and the median model year among them was 2008, by FMCSA roadside inspection records. Whatever the year on yours, keep the registration card and any recent inspection report with the truck for the day we arrive.

In those same roadside inspection records from FMCSA, about 85 percent of the inspected Nixon trucks were ten or more model years old. Service records, receipts for parts and the date of the last annual inspection all help us understand the truck, so gather what you have in one folder.

Around Nixon, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,870 farms across Gonzales County, with cattle, corn and deer at the top of the list. A grain truck or a tractor that pulled cattle trailers between those farms can be picked up where it sits on the ranch; send directions to the gate along with your photos.

Manufacturing accounts for 404 of the 931 jobs located in Nixon in 2023, a 43.4 percent share by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and wholesale trade adds 57. A box truck or straight truck from a plant or warehouse floor is welcome, and the County Business Patterns figures for the area also list 5 construction establishments whose dump trucks and flatbeds we take as well.

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles handles titles through county tax assessor-collector offices, and for Nixon that is the Gonzales County Tax Office at 427 Saint George Street, Suite 100, Gonzales, 78629, about 24.8 miles from town. Order a replacement there before we collect if the original is missing.

Where a bank or credit union financed the truck, a signed lien release from them belongs next to the Texas title. Keep the bill of sale, if you have one, with those two papers.

Twenty-five miles up the road toward Gonzales, the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the GONZALES rail yard. If your truck worked transload at that yard, tell us, and we will come to it there or in Nixon.

Two carriers registered with FMCSA in Nixon during 2024 and 2025, one in each year. Whether your operation is new or long established, the steps are the same: VIN, photos, title and the address where the truck is parked.
