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

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the PILOT liquid bulk terminal 2 miles east of Port Isabel, and the Energy Information Administration lists the Port Isabel petroleum product terminal at 2.1 miles in the same direction. A tractor that shuttles tank trailers between those two gates may be parked within sight of the causeway when you call us, so give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the keys.

Tankers that load at those east-side racks usually carry their own trail of paperwork. Put the title, the current registration and any inspection sheets from the terminal in one folder, and photograph the tank, the hoses and the plate on the trailer as well as the tractor cab.

South-west of town, about 9.7 miles out, sits the Brownsville petroleum product terminal on the Energy Information Administration’s list, with the ABC Gulf Coast Terminal for liquid bulk at 10.4 miles according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Owners whose day cabs run between Port Isabel and those Brownsville racks can leave the truck at the last yard it worked from; we collect it where it stands.

Brownsville’s port, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 10.9 miles west, handles cargo that leaves on flatbeds, vans and container chassis. If your rig has been hauling off those docks, tell us which trailer it pulled and send a clear photo of the VIN plate along with the odometer.

Two rail yards appear in the North American Rail Network, maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: Brownsville Palo Alto at 12.4 miles and the Port of Brownsville yard at 12.7 miles, both south-west of Port Isabel. A drayage tractor that has spent its shifts between those yards and the docks is a truck we buy, and you can sell it from home while it sits in a lot there.

An intermodal ramp named Terminal shows up 12.7 miles south-west on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ map. For a container hauler working that ramp, have the title in your name, note whether the chassis goes with the tractor, and tell us who can open the lot gate on the day we come.

Cameron County counts 1,248 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cotton, sorghum and corn lead its crops. Grain trucks, module haulers and bobtails that work those fields often sit on the farm between harvests, and that is where we can pick them up; just give us directions to the barn or field gate.

A farm truck registered years ago may have a title in a parent’s or partner’s name. Check whose name is on it before you contact us, and if the paper is lost, say so at the start so the questions we ask cover replacing it before collection.

Port Isabel had 1,585 jobs in 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), of which construction held 52, or 3.3 percent. Dump trucks, mixers and flatbeds from those crews are on the list of what we purchase; tell us the body type, the axle setup and where the truck is parked.

Manufacturing accounted for 93 of the town’s jobs, 5.9 percent of the total, according to the same LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau. Box trucks and straight trucks that move product out of those shops qualify too, and service records from the shop that maintained them help us understand the truck’s history.

• My tanker sits beside the PILOT and Port Isabel fuel racks east of town; does it have to move before pickup?The PILOT terminal lies 2 miles east of Port Isabel on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list, and a tractor parked near it can stay put. Name the operator of that Laguna Madre lot, and we line up the gate with them directly.
• I live in Port Isabel but the truck waits at a Brownsville rail yard; must I drive over for the collection?Brownsville Palo Alto yard is 12.4 miles south-west of town in the North American Rail Network, and you do not have to meet us there.

• Do you take farm trucks from the cotton and sorghum fields around Cameron County?Cameron County’s 1,248 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture grow cotton, sorghum and corn above all, and the trucks that haul those crops are ones we buy. Send photos, the VIN and directions to where it is parked.
