Bay-side tank sites
Terminals north-east of Webster
Quality Transload Inc, a liquid bulk terminal the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places 6.5 miles north-east of Webster, is the nearest of the bay-side handling sites. If your tractor has pulled tank trailers to it, keep the loading-site paperwork in the cab folder and mention the terminal name when you first get in touch with us.
Seven miles out in the same direction, the Energy Information Administration lists the SEABROOK petroleum product terminal, and Alpha Technical Services, another liquid bulk site, sits 7.5 miles due north on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map. A truck parked at a Seabrook or Bayport yard can stay put; give us the gate contact and the lot address so the pickup is arranged with whoever holds the keys.
Boxes, autos and the Port Crossing yard
Bayport Container Terminal, a rail intermodal ramp, and the Port of Houston’s Bayport Auto Terminal for roll-on/roll-off traffic both sit 8.5 miles north-east of town according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle boxes off that ramp are trucks we buy; send the VIN, a clear shot of the odometer and photos of the fifth wheel and frame.
The PORT CROSSING rail yard appears 8.6 miles away in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A tractor that drays between that yard and the container ramp can be collected from either end, as long as you tell us which yard it is sitting in.
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 87 active carriers with a Webster address, and 64 of them list general freight as a cargo they haul. The same FMCSA census lists household goods (12 carriers), machinery and large objects (11) and motor vehicles (9) as the other declared cargo here; box trucks, flatbeds and car haulers are all trucks we collect alongside dry-van tractors.
Of those 87, the federal carrier census counts 59 as intrastate-only and 28 as interstate, with 29 operating as private fleets that carry their own goods. If your truck stayed inside Texas, your Texas title and current registration are the two documents to find before you call; an interstate unit should also have its cab card handy.
Webster added 17 new carriers to FMCSA’s census in 2025, up from 8 a year earlier. If your authority is new and this is your first truck sale, check that the name on the title matches the one on the registration before you contact us.
Short radius, one very large fleet
Drivers at Webster carriers mostly stay close: the FMCSA census records 615 working within 100 miles and 295 beyond that range. The median reported annual distance, across the 12 carriers that filed it, is 24,250 miles per truck in that same census.
Fleets here range from one carrier with 922 power units and 685 drivers down to small outfits with 4 trucks, per FMCSA’s carrier census. Whether you are selling one tractor or a handful from a larger operation, list each unit’s VIN, year and where it is parked so we can plan collection for all of them at once.
Roadside checks and Webster’s bridges
Between September 2024 and August 2026, 71 trucks run by Webster carriers were checked at the roadside, and those FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2016, with 49.3% at ten years or older. Have the most recent inspection report with the truck; it answers questions about the unit before we ask them.
A tall trailer or a heavy tractor parked in town can be reached on local roads, so just give us the street address and the height of anything still hooked up.
Wholesale, building and Harris County farms
Of the 20,670 jobs located in Webster in 2023, wholesale trade held 613 and transportation and warehousing 455, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Straight trucks and box vans that deliver for wholesalers in town are part of what we collect, and a registration plus a clean title is all it takes to start.
Building work accounts for 350 of those LEHD jobs, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau counts 36 construction establishments in the area. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from contractors here are welcome; photos of the body and the plate on the door jamb help us identify the unit.
Across Harris County, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture records 1,531 farms, with cattle, equine and potted flowering plants at the top. A livestock hauler or a nursery delivery truck from the county qualifies too; tell us the farm road it is parked on.
The questions we get asked in Webster
- Can you pick up a day cab sitting at a lot by the Bayport container ramp?Bayport Container Terminal is 8.5 miles north-east of Webster on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics map, and we collect from there. Send the yard’s street address and the name of whoever opens its gate.
- Where does a Webster owner get a duplicate title for a truck?Webster titles are issued by the State of Texas, so the replacement comes from the state’s title agency; start that request before we schedule pickup and tell us it is in progress.
- Do you buy a single truck from a small Webster operator?FMCSA’s carrier census lists Webster fleets as small as 4 power units, and a single truck from an owner-operator is just as welcome. Send the VIN, title name and photos.
