Flatbed & Step Deck Trucking in Texas City, TX

About 105 miles — I-10 west then Highway 146 south. Roughly an hour and forty-five minutes.

Refinery town, through and through

Texas City is one of the biggest refining centers on the Gulf — Marathon’s Galveston Bay complex, Valero, and the petrochemical row along the industrial canal. Freight here looks like freight at home in Port Arthur: turnaround surges, scaffold and mat packages, steel for maintenance, generators and light towers spotted on schedule. We speak this town’s language because we live in its twin.

Turnarounds are the rhythm

When a Texas City unit comes down, the two-week freight crunch that follows rewards carriers who show up inside the window every single time. We run multi-load mat and scaffold packages into turnaround laydown yards, keep the count straight, and haul it all back out at startup without being chased for paperwork.

The port and the dike

The Port of Texas City moves steel, project cargo, and bulk that needs trucks on the landward side. Add the constant levee, dike, and infrastructure work the city runs to keep the water out, and there is steady end dump and flatbed demand outside the refinery fences too.

Common loads we haul in Texas City

Regular Texas City freight:

  • Mats and scaffold for refinery turnarounds
  • Structural steel for maintenance projects
  • Generators and light towers
  • Port steel and project cargo
  • Limestone and fill for infrastructure work
  • Trench boxes and shoring

Texas City freight questions

+Do you handle refinery turnaround freight in Texas City?

Yes — it is the same work we do at the Port Arthur refineries: mats, scaffold, generators in on schedule, out at startup, with a clean load count in between.

+Is Texas City too far for same-day service?

No. It is under two hours from the yard. A morning booking is on site by early afternoon.

+Can you pick up at the Port of Texas City?

We can — steel and project cargo coming off the docks move on our flatbeds and step decks with the terminal appointment handled up front.
