Trailers of Texas

What Trailers of Texas does

Trailers of Texas is a privately held tank trailer dealership founded in 1995 and headquartered in Navasota, Texas. The company operates as an authorized dealer for eleven manufacturers, including LBT, Retesa, Polar Tank, Mac LTT, Tremcar, Heil, Dragon, Fruehauf, Tankcon, EXOSENT, and Paragon, and is described as Retesa's largest volume dealer in the United States. Its catalog spans DOT 406 fuel tankers, DOT 407/412 chemical and acid trailers, storage pig trailers, dry bulk and pneumatic trailers, non-code trailers, vacuum, food-grade, crude oil, and asphalt/hot oil configurations, alongside adjacent capital equipment such as above-ground storage tanks and truck blowers.

Go-to-market combines consultative field sales, a SEO-driven content website (buying guides and location pages), a nationwide delivery network, and a network of twelve physical locations: a Navasota headquarters, four in-state Texas sales offices in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Midland-Odessa, and seven out-of-state pickup centers co-located near manufacturer factories in Omaha NE, Champlain NY, Athens TN, Strasburg OH, Laredo TX, Horizon City TX, and Midlothian TX. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time new and pre-owned trailer sales, with secondary streams from long-term cement pig rentals and leasing, replacement parts, a two-sided trade-in/buy outright platform, and facilitation of third-party financing. Customer end-markets include oil & gas and petroleum, chemical transport, construction and oilfield services, agriculture, and food & beverage.
