HOW IT WORKS

Three Steps. No Surprises.

The whole point of selling to a direct buyer is that it's simple. Here's the entire process.

Tell Us About It

Fill out the one-minute form or call. Year, make, condition, title — that's all we need to start.

Get a Firm Offer

We may come out to see your truck in person or we may ask for detailed pics and videos that may allow us to establish an offer over the phone

Get Paid at Pickup

We come to you anywhere in all 50 states, handle the title work.

Send photos and a short video, and we can usually work from those. If we need a closer look, we set up an inspection at your yard. Mileage, engine hours and the title are what we look at; there is no hidden checklist. Once we agree on a number, the bill of sale is a one-page agreement and the money moves as soon as the title is in our hands. Payment is fast once we agree on a price.

Before you start

Have these ready and it goes faster

The keys

The thing people most often can’t find on the day.

Photos, all the way round

Every side, the whole interior including the odometer, and the engine from both sides.

A short video, if it runs

Thirty to sixty seconds of the engine running, hood open.

A figure in mind

Have an idea in mind of about how much you want for your truck. It helps the process move faster.

why would someone put a brand new engine in their truck only to turn around and sell it?

A customer calls me and says “I need to sell my truck fast”. He’s a military guy with military contracts that pay well but are very demanding. He says you know what Ron I put a new 15 liter cummins engine in this truck just a couple months ago. When I heard that, I stopped everything I was doing, I thought maybe he’s exaggerating. I asked him what he meant by the word “new” because a lot of people think anything they put in their truck is new. But he knew exactly what he was saying and had the receipts to back it up. “I put a brand new engine out the crate with zero miles on it Ron”. Now I’m paying attention and wondering why would someone put a brand new engine in their truck only to turn around and sell it. I’m sure he knows he can’t make that 50K back selling that truck. He says I have this well paying military contract that I’ve been running for years but they changed the year requirements without notice, so all of a sudden my truck is too old so I can’t use it anymore for this contract. Wow that’s a pretty big hit but we all know this trucking business can be like that sometimes. No time for tears you just gotta deal with the problems the best you can so you can keep rollin. After I gave him my price he took a few days to think about it and came back ready to sell. He didn’t have time to waste and needed the money to buy something else so the deal was done and he was able to get another truck and put his mind on the better days ahead.

“Recently sold my truck to Big Ugly Truck and after a quick appraisal, I received the exact amount that I thought was a fair price that I could get for it. The owner was very professional, and easy to work and communicate with. Thank you sir, big thumbs up.”

Evan Campbell · Google review

“Mr. Ronnie was very professional and reached out to us the same evening we inquired about selling our tractor-trailer. He made the entire process simple and hassle-free. He provided us with a fair appraisal, traveled to us the very next day, and purchased our truck for cash exactly as promised. The entire transaction was smooth, quick, and professional. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to sell their truck!”

Serena Reddick Lofton · Google review

“Mr. Hodges was very professional and not aggressive as I expected someone who is buying something from you to be. He explained the process and made everything easier. I had all sorts of bad ideas about people getting your vehicle and then you lost it and didn't get your money. This wasn't the case with Mr. Hodges he stayed until the money showed up on my bank account. I really appreciated him being so nice. I will recommend this company and Mr. Hodges to anyone who is looking to sell a truck.”
