Fuel tanks east of town
Fuel and liquid cargo just east of Quail Creek
A petroleum product terminal listed as VICTORIA by the Energy Information Administration lies 6.5 miles east of Quail Creek. If your tanker or tractor has loaded there, keep the bill-of-lading folder or any terminal access records with the cab; they show us the kind of work the truck has done.
Victoria Terminal, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics classes as a liquid bulk terminal, is 9.3 miles to the south-east. Tank trailers and the day cabs that pull them on that run are trucks we purchase, and we can collect a tractor parked at a yard near the terminal rather than asking you to move it into town.
Barge freight
The Victoria port seven miles off
Seven miles east, the port at Victoria appears in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics port listings. A tractor that shuttles cargo between the docks and inland customers can be sold from wherever it sits, so tell us the street address and who holds the gate key.
Send photos of the cab, the frame rails, the fifth wheel and each tire, plus a clear shot of the VIN plate. With those in hand we can ask the right questions about a port truck before anyone drives out to Quail Creek.
Dump work at the Briggs and Kyle pits near Quail Creek
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two sand and gravel operations close by: Briggs Plant, 9 miles south-east, and Kyle Plant, 9.5 miles north. Dump trucks, end dumps and belly-dump trailers working between those pits and local job sites are all on our list.
If your dump truck stays parked at a pit between shifts, we can arrange collection there once the operator agrees to let us in. Have the registration and any service log ready, and mention the body or trailer type when you first contact us.
Bloomington yard and the freight corridor
Bloomington’s rail yard, listed on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lies 15.2 miles south-east of Quail Creek. Drivers moving freight between the rail yard, the port and the gravel plants run a triangle that stays well inside Victoria County.
Wherever on that triangle your truck is parked, give us its location and the name of someone on site. A sleeper or day cab left at a yard near Bloomington does not need to come back to Quail Creek for the sale.
Who works within the Quail Creek area
The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES) for 2023 record 762 jobs in the area, and Transportation and Warehousing holds 291 of them, a 38.2 percent share. Manufacturing follows with 148 jobs and Wholesale Trade with 123 in that same LEHD release.
For an owner-operator or a small fleet in that warehousing and distribution work, box trucks, reefers and tractors are all trucks we take. List each unit by VIN with its registration, and we can handle several trucks in one conversation.
Cattle, corn and cotton around Quail Creek
Around Quail Creek, farm trucks are part of the working fleet: USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,412 farms in Victoria County, where cattle, corn and cotton lead the list. Cattle haulers, grain trucks and module trucks used at harvest can all be sold to us.
A ranch truck kept in a pasture barn or at a gin lot can be collected where it stands. Tell us whether the gate is locked and whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck to reach it.
Bridge Street office
Bridge Street paperwork for a Quail Creek tractor
Title copies in Texas come from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles through its county tax assessor-collector offices. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles directs Quail Creek owners to the Victoria County Tax Office at 205 N Bridge St., Ste 101, Victoria, 77901, about 5 miles from town.
If the title is missing, start the copy request there before we schedule pickup, and keep the registration and your photo ID with the truck. A title held by a lender needs a lien release, so mention any loan when you first call.
