Flatbed & Step Deck Trucking in Port Arthur, TX
Our yard sits at 1050 FM 365, inside Port Arthur city limits. Most local pickups get a truck the same day.
This is our home yard
MDJ Services runs out of 1050 FM 365, so Port Arthur work is not a lane for us. It is the neighborhood. We haul past the Motiva and Valero complexes every day, we know which gates take trucks and which do not, and when a contractor calls about a pickup on the island or off Highway 73, the driver already knows the route.
Refinery and port freight
Port Arthur runs on the refineries and the port, and so does the freight. Turnarounds bring scaffold loads, trench boxes, generators, and mat orders that all want delivery inside the same two-week window. Port work brings steel and project cargo moving between laydown yards. We schedule around plant gate hours and badge requirements because we deal with them constantly. Tell dispatch which contractor you are under and which gate you are using, and the paperwork rides with the driver.
Construction and dirt work
Outside the fence line, Port Arthur keeps our end dumps busy. Limestone and select fill for pads along FM 365 and Highway 365, demolition loads out of teardown jobs in the older parts of town, sand and gravel from area pits. Short hauls, quick cycles, and no mobilization charge to get a truck across town — it is already here.
Why local matters in this market
Out-of-town carriers treat Port Arthur as a one-way destination and price it accordingly. For us it is the cheapest truck we send, because every load ends with the driver back at the yard. That shows up in the rate, and it shows up when your job needs a truck in an hour instead of tomorrow.

Straight answers
Port Arthur freight questions
+How fast can you get a truck to a Port Arthur jobsite?
Usually same day. The yard is at 1050 FM 365, so a local pickup is minutes away, not hours. Call (409) 540-9398 and dispatch will give you a straight answer based on what trucks are doing that morning.
+Can you deliver inside refinery gates?
Yes. We work under contractors at the Port Arthur area plants regularly. You arrange the gate clearance under your contract, tell us the gate and window, and the driver arrives with the paperwork and PPE the site requires.
+Do you haul aggregate within Port Arthur?
Every week. End dump loads of limestone, sand, and fill from area pits to local pads, and demolition debris hauled out. Short local cycles are some of the most efficient work we do.
+Is there a minimum charge for local Port Arthur hauls?
No mobilization fee inside our home area. You pay for the haul. Rates depend on material, equipment, and time on site, and dispatch quotes them up front.
