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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 26 active motor carriers in Refugio, and 22 of them are intrastate operations while only 4 cross state lines. If your tractor or straight truck has stayed inside Texas, that matches most of the operators here, and a Texas title in your name is the main document we will ask to see.

Of those 26 carriers, 13 run private fleets moving their own goods rather than hauling for hire, according to the same federal census. A ranch, a contractor or an oilfield service outfit that owns a work truck can sell it to us directly; have the title, the current registration and a few clear photos of the cab, frame and tires ready before you call.

Registrations here are steady rather than busy: the carrier census shows one new carrier added in 2025 and none in 2024. Whether your operation started last year or decades ago, the steps are the same: send the VIN, the location of the truck and a contact who can meet us there.

Fifteen Refugio carriers declare general freight, 14 declare oilfield equipment and 13 declare machinery or large objects, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Winch trucks, lowboy tractors, flatbeds and the day cabs that pull them all fit those cargo classes, and we buy each of them; tell us which trailer the tractor usually pulls so we can plan the pickup.

Six local carriers also list farm supplies among their cargo, the federal carrier census shows. A grain truck or a tractor that hauls feed and seed between farms counts just as much as an oilfield rig, so mention the body type and any attached equipment when you first describe it.

Refugio’s leading fleet registers 26 power units and 15 drivers, followed by fleets of 13 units with 7 drivers and 7 units with 6 drivers, according to FMCSA’s census. If you are selling several units at once, list each VIN and where each truck is parked; we can collect them from one yard or from separate lease sites.

Among drivers tied to Refugio carriers, 36 work inside a hundred-mile radius and 49 travel beyond it, the carrier census reports. A truck that spends weeks on the road may be parked far from town when you decide to sell, so tell us exactly where it sits today rather than where it is based.

Ten local carriers report mileage, and their median comes to 19,297 miles per truck in a year on FMCSA’s figures. Note the odometer reading beside the VIN when you write to us; for a Refugio winch truck or flatbed, our first questions start with those two figures.

FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 33 trucks from this area checked between December 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2019 and 21.2 percent of them ten or more model years old. Keep any inspection reports or service records with the truck, since they give us its history alongside the photos.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 place 1,207 jobs in Refugio, with construction accounting for 168 of them, or 13.9 percent. Dump trucks, mixers and equipment haulers that serve job sites around town are trucks we purchase, and we collect them from the yard or the site where they stand.

Oil and gas extraction, mining and quarrying held 88 local jobs, 7.3 percent of the total, in that same LEHD release. Vacuum trucks and service rigs on lease roads can be sold where they are parked; give us gate access details so the collection is arranged with the site.

Refugio’s eight construction establishments, as tallied in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, each keep their own work trucks. If a contractor here is trimming its fleet, one call covers every unit, and each truck needs its own title in the company’s name.

Around Refugio, Refugio County holds 315 farms, with cotton, cattle and sorghum leading the list in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Module trucks, cattle haulers and grain trucks that only come out at harvest or shipping time can be sold just as they sit in the barn or pasture.

Before you contact us about a truck kept on a Refugio farm, find the Texas title and note whose name appears on it. Photos of the bed, the hoist or the livestock body help us see the whole truck without a trip to look first.

Lost titles in Refugio are replaced through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, which works through county tax assessor-collector offices; the local one is the Refugio County Tax Office at 808 Commerce, Room 109, Refugio, 78377, about 0.8 miles from the center of town. Request a certified copy there before the sale so the title is in hand when we arrive.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the REFUGIO SIT rail yard about 1.5 miles north-east of town. If your truck is parked near the tracks or a loading area out that way, give us the cross streets and we will come to it.

• My grain truck sits in a pasture outside Refugio; does it have to be hauled into town first?Refugio County’s 315 farms, counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, are where many local trucks stay between seasons, and we collect from the farm itself. Tell us the road, the gate and who can meet us there.
