Energy freight

    Stage inside the play, not an hour north of it

    Eagle Ford freight doesn't run on a nine-to-five. Sand hauls stack up ahead of a frac, crude and produced water move on cycles set by tank levels, and equipment gets dragged from pad to pad on schedules that change the night before. All of that depends on having somewhere to put a truck between runs — somewhere that isn't a lease road, a county shoulder, or a customer's pad where you're in the way.

    Our yard at 6785 FM1784 in Pleasanton sits on the northern edge of the play in Atascosa County. Jourdanton is about ten minutes west, Charlotte roughly 25, Karnes City 45 to 50 east on TX-97, and Three Rivers about 35 minutes down I-37. That puts you inside the footprint instead of deadheading down from San Antonio at the start of every shift and back up at the end of it.

    The surface matters more in this business than most. Caliche and dirt yards turn to soup after a South Texas rain, and a loaded tank trailer parked on soft ground is a problem you'll remember. Our spots are paved and level, with lanes wide enough to back a 53-footer or maneuver a lowboy without a spotter walking you in.

    For operators running multiple units, the yard functions as leased capacity you can turn off. Rig counts move, contracts end, and the last thing anyone needs is a year-long lease on dirt that sat empty for four months of it. Spots are month-to-month; scale up for a busy quarter and back down when things slow, without a renegotiation. Multi-unit pricing is on the fleet parking page.

    Long-term storage covers the other half of the problem: spare trailers, vacuum tanks, and equipment that needs to sit somewhere fenced and watched rather than parked at a yard entrance. See monthly parking and trailer storage for terms, or the rate card for the short version.

    2. 2From the south (Three Rivers, George West): I-37 north, then exit TX-97 west.

    FAQ

    Oilfield staging questions

    Can I stage sand or water trucks here between loads?

    Yes. The yard is paved and laid out for equipment that comes and goes on a cycle, and 24/7 gate access means a 4 a.m. dispatch doesn't require anyone to unlock anything for you.

    Do you offer fleet rates for oilfield operations?

    We do. Multi-spot pricing is month-to-month rather than annual, which matters in a business where rig counts move. Details and a quote request are on the fleet parking page.

    Can I leave a trailer or equipment for several months?

    Long-term storage is available for trailers, tanks, and other wheeled equipment. It's the cheapest way to hold spare capacity through a slow stretch without giving up your spot.

    How close are you to the Eagle Ford itself?

    Atascosa County sits on the northern edge of the play. Jourdanton is about ten minutes away, Charlotte around 25, and Karnes City roughly 45 to 50 — so you're inside the footprint rather than commuting into it from San Antonio.
