We Buy Trucks — All Types, All Conditions

We buy trucks of every class and type — semi trucks, heavy duty trucks, medium duty trucks, and light duty work trucks. Whether you’re an owner-operator selling a single rig, a fleet manager offloading surplus equipment, a contractor downsizing work trucks, or a bankruptcy trustee liquidating assets, Big Ugly Truck makes a direct cash offer with no middlemen, no auction fees, and no runaround.

Running or not. High mileage or low. Accident damaged or clean. Any make, any model — if you have a clear title, we want to hear from you.

What Determines the Value of Your Truck?

Understanding what affects your truck’s value helps you set realistic expectations and provide the right information when submitting your quote. The key factors we look at:

• Year and Mileage — Newer trucks with lower mileage bring higher offers, but we buy at any age and mileage. A 2015 Kenworth with 800,000 miles can still bring a solid price in good mechanical shape.
• Engine Condition — A running, healthy engine is the single biggest value factor. A video of the engine running speeds up the offer significantly. Non-running trucks are still purchased but priced accordingly.
• Make and Model — Kenworth, Peterbilt, and late-model Freightliner Cascadias tend to command strong prices. We buy all makes at fair market value.
• Transmission — Automated manual transmissions (Eaton UltraShift, Volvo I-Shift, Mack mDrive) are in high demand. Manual transmissions also purchased.
• Configuration — Sleeper cab vs day cab, axle configuration, and specialty equipment all factor into the offer.
• Overall Condition — Frame integrity, cab condition, tires, and maintenance history all affect pricing.
• Title Status — Clear title required. Salvage title trucks purchased at a lower price point.

Why Selling to Big Ugly Truck Beats an Auction

Commercial truck auctions charge seller fees of 5-10% of the sale price. Buyer premiums reduce what bidders are willing to offer. And there’s no guaranteed floor — your truck can sell for far less than its market value if the right buyer isn’t in the room that day. You also wait weeks for a sale date, then potentially weeks more to get paid.

When you sell directly to Big Ugly Truck, you get a firm cash offer upfront — no fees, no commissions, no uncertainty. If you accept our offer, we close the deal on your timeline, not the auction house’s calendar. Individual sellers are paid cash or cashier’s check on the spot at pickup.

We Buy Trucks That Don’t Run

One of the most common questions we get is whether we’ll buy a truck that doesn’t run. The answer is yes — without hesitation. Blown engine, bad transmission, accident damage, frame issues, trucks that have been sitting for years — we’ll evaluate them and make an offer. Condition affects the price, but it never disqualifies a truck from consideration.

Don’t spend money trying to fix your truck before selling. In almost every case, the cost of repairs won’t be fully reflected in a higher offer. Sell it as-is and let us handle it from there.

Selling a Fleet of Trucks?

If you’re a fleet manager, trucking company, leasing operator, or bankruptcy trustee looking to liquidate multiple trucks at once, we specialize in fleet purchases of any size. We evaluate your entire fleet and make a single bulk offer — no cherry picking, no selling units one at a time. Fleet companies are paid via bank wire transfer.

What You Need to Sell Your Truck

• Clear Title — The most important document. Must be in your name or your company’s name. Salvage titles accepted.
• Basic Truck Info — Year, make, model, VIN, and mileage.
• Photos — Exterior (all four sides), interior cab, engine bay.
• Video — A short clip of the engine running if operational. Speeds up the offer process significantly.

We handle all paperwork, title transfers, and transportation. You don’t file anything or go anywhere.
