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

Just 5.6 miles south-west of the Mustang Island ferry town, HARBOR ISLAND TERMINAL stores petroleum product, per the Energy Information Administration. A tractor that has pulled fuel tankers in and out of Harbor Island can be collected on the island or at the yard where it is parked between loads; send us that address with the VIN.

Bay Ltd., a liquid bulk terminal the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 5.6 miles north-west of town, is on the Ingleside side of the bay. If your rig has hauled liquid bulk for that dock, photograph the cab, the frame, the tires and the fifth wheel, and keep the title and current registration with the truck for pickup day.

INGLESIDE FACILITY is a petroleum product terminal 6.4 miles north-west of Port Aransas, according to the Energy Information Administration. Tank-trailer tractors and service trucks that run the north shore of the bay are the kind of equipment we buy here, and you do not need to ferry yours over to the island to sell it.

Owners who have kept service records, inspection sheets or terminal entry paperwork from Ingleside runs should set them aside with the title. Those papers tell us how the truck has been used before we see it in person, and they answer questions that photos leave open.

Workplaces in Port Aransas held 2,790 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), with 133 of them in construction, a 4.8 percent share. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks from island building crews are welcome; tell us whether the truck sits at a job site, a home driveway or a contractor’s lot.

That same LEHD tally puts 113 local jobs, or 4.1 percent, in transportation and warehousing. Delivery straight trucks and tractors tied to that work can be listed with us by text: the year, make, model, VIN and a handful of clear photos is enough to begin.

West across the bay, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics counts Corpus Christi, TX among its strategic seaports, 19.2 miles from Port Aransas, and lists the Port of Corpus Christi - Northside Terminal, a roll-on/roll-off terminal, at 18.8 miles. A truck based near those docks is collected where it stands, so give us the gate or lot address and any site access rules.

Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, a military installation 16.9 miles south-west on Bureau of Transportation Statistics figures, sits along the same stretch. If your truck parks on the mainland side rather than on Mustang Island, say so up front so the pickup is planned for the right shore.

Corpus Processing Facility and CIMBAR Resources Inc. are both mineral processing plants 18.6 miles west of town, as listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. End dumps, bulk tractors and pneumatic haulers serving those plants fit what we purchase; note which plant the truck ran for when you write to us.

Plant work often leaves a paper trail of its own, such as site safety checks and maintenance logs. Bring those together with the title and registration, and if some are missing, just tell us what the truck hauled and where.

Inland from the bay, Nueces County had 549 farms growing mostly cotton, sorghum and corn when USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture was taken. Grain trucks, module haulers and farm tractors pulling hoppers are trucks we buy, and they are often parked at a barn or field edge rather than in town.

For a farm truck, have the title in the name of whoever is selling, plus the registration, and tell us how to reach the place it is stored. If the title has been lost, the state’s title agency issues a replacement, so start that request before the pickup is booked.

• Will you come out to a tanker parked by the Harbor Island fuel dock?HARBOR ISLAND TERMINAL is 5.6 miles south-west of Port Aransas on Energy Information Administration listings, and trucks parked near it or anywhere on the island can be collected where they sit. Send us the address and the VIN.
• My tractor stays over in Ingleside rather than on Mustang Island - is a pickup there possible?Ingleside’s petroleum product terminal is 6.4 miles north-west of town on Energy Information Administration figures, close enough that we simply come to wherever the truck is parked. Give us the street address when you get in touch.
• The title went missing years ago - who replaces it for a seller on the island?Port Aransas sellers apply to the state’s title agency for a replacement title. Tell us it is missing when you first contact us, and send the registration and VIN in the meantime.
• Do you buy construction trucks from island contractors?Construction accounts for 133 of the 2,790 jobs in Port Aransas on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, and dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks from that trade are on our list. Photos and the VIN are the place to start.
