Container ramps and car docks on Seabrook’s edge
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places two Bayport facilities 0.6 miles north-west of Seabrook: the Port of Houston’s roll-on/roll-off auto terminal and the Bayport Container Terminal intermodal ramp. A tractor that has pulled chassis between that ramp and nearby yards can be collected from the lot where it is parked; send us the gate address and the name of whoever holds the key.
Barbours Cut, 5.6 miles north, carries both a roll-on/roll-off terminal and a container ramp on the same Bureau of Transportation Statistics list. If your truck splits its shifts between Bayport and Barbours Cut, tell us which yard it ends the week in, and have the title and current Texas registration together before we arrange the visit.
Tank work west and north of town
Energy Information Administration records show a petroleum product terminal named Seabrook 2.3 miles west, and another, the Morgans Point complex for natural gas liquids, 6.1 miles north. Tractors and straight trucks that hauled out of those gates usually carry site entry cards and inspection sheets; keep that paperwork with the truck so its history travels alongside the photos you send.
Four miles west, Quality Transload Inc appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings as a liquid bulk terminal. A tank-pulling tractor based near there is one we pick up on site, so photograph the cab, frame, fifth wheel and tires in daylight and note the VIN off the door jamb before you call.
Port Crossing and the rail side
The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, lists a rail yard called Port Crossing 3.9 miles north-west of Seabrook. A drayage tractor parked at Port Crossing or along the road to the Bayport ramp is collected where it stands.
If your rig is parked inside a fenced rail or terminal property, give us a contact who can sign us through the gate. Bring the title in your name, or tell us up front if a lender still holds it, and we will plan the pickup around that paperwork.
Bayport-side carriers hauling coil and general freight
FMCSA’s carrier census counts 42 active carriers based in Seabrook, 28 of them listing general freight; machinery and large objects appear on 8, while dry bulk and metal coils each show up on 5. Flatbeds that hauled coil or oversized machinery fit what we purchase just as plainly as box-trailer tractors do.
Of those 42 carriers, the same federal census lists 16 as interstate, 26 as intrastate and 14 as private fleets hauling their own goods. The three biggest Seabrook fleets register 731, 61 and 43 power units, and FMCSA shows four new carriers here in 2024 and four more in 2025; we buy a single truck or a group of units.
Drivers on Seabrook’s carriers split 497 within a 100-mile radius and 306 beyond it, per that FMCSA census, and the median reported mileage across 15 carriers is 25,000 miles a truck. Tell us the odometer reading with the VIN; those two figures answer most of what we ask first.
Seabrook rigs at the inspection scales
FMCSA roadside inspection records from August 2024 to August 2026 cover 697 Seabrook-based trucks, whose median model year is 2015 and of which 54.9 percent are a decade or more past their model year. Whatever year your truck is, we buy it; send the year, make and model with your photos.
Keep the latest inspection report from those roadside stops if you have it, along with any service invoices. Missing invoices do not stop a sale; describe the Bayport or Barbours Cut runs the truck covered instead.
Plant jobs, contractors and Seabrook bridges
In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded 3,278 jobs in Seabrook, among them 240 in manufacturing, 195 in construction and 72 in wholesale trade. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies tied to that construction work belong on the list of what we collect, from a job site or a home driveway.
Seabrook’s contractor base runs to 32 construction establishments beside 3 warehousing ones in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. On the road side, the National Bridge Inventory lists 11 bridges in Seabrook with none load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance; give us the street the truck is on and we route to it.
Harris County had 1,531 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, horses and potted flowering plants at the top. A stock trailer tractor or nursery box truck from those operations fits too; tell us the farm road it sits on.
The questions we get asked in Seabrook
- Can my day cab stay at its Bayport container yard spot for pickup?Bayport’s container ramp sits 0.6 miles north-west of Seabrook on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and we come to the truck there. Send the Bayport yard’s street address and whoever can open its gate for us.
- The Texas title for my Seabrook truck is lost; who replaces it?Texas titles are issued through the state’s title agency, so a duplicate comes from that office before the sale closes. Tell us when you first call, and we will plan the paperwork around the replacement.
- My Seabrook tractor is past its tenth model year; will you still look at it?FMCSA roadside inspection records put Seabrook carriers’ median model year at 2015 across 697 trucks inspected, and we buy trucks from every model year. Send the year, make, model and VIN with your photos.
- My tank tractor served Quality Transload west of Seabrook; do you take those?Quality Transload Inc’s liquid bulk terminal 4 miles west, on Bureau of Transportation Statistics records, is the kind of site tank tractors here serve, and we buy them. Keep any terminal entry records with the truck.
