Sell My Truck
NO OBLIGATION
How It Works
The Step-by-Step Process
Selling your truck to Big Ugly Truck takes four steps. Most sellers complete the entire process — from first contact to payment in hand — within one week.
Submit Your Equipment Details
Start by filling out our quote form on the Sell My Truck page, or call us directly at (404) 453-1427. We need the following information to evaluate your equipment:
Year, Make, and Model
The more specific the better. Include trim level and configuration if known.
VIN Number
Helps us verify the truck’s history and confirm specifications.
Mileage or Hours
Odometer reading for trucks. Hours for vocational equipment where applicable.
Condition Description
Known issues, damage, or missing components. Be as honest and specific as possible — it speeds up the process and prevents delays at pickup.
Location
City and state where the truck is located.
Title Status
Clear title, salvage title, or lien. If there’s a lien, we’ll need the lender information.
Pro Tip The more detail you provide upfront, the faster we can respond with an accurate offer. Vague submissions require back-and-forth which slows down the process.
Send Photos & Video
Photos and video are the most important part of getting an accurate offer quickly. After you submit your details we’ll ask you to send photos and video via text or email to (404) 453-1427.
For trucks — send photos of:
All four sides of the exterior
Interior cab — dashboard, seats, sleeper if equipped
Engine bay with hood open
Frame rails on both sides
Any damage areas — be specific, show everything
Tires — all axles
All four sides of the exterior
Interior floor and walls
Landing gear and rear doors or tailgate
All axles and tires
Any damage, rot, or missing components
Pro Tip For trucks — send a short video of the engine starting and running. This single step speeds up the offer process more than anything else. If the truck doesn’t run, a video of the attempted start is still helpful.
Receive Your Cash Offer
Once we have your equipment details and photos, we evaluate the truck against current market conditions and respond with a cash offer. We’ll get back to you soon.
Our offer is based on:
Current market value
for the make, model, year, and configuration
Condition
mechanical condition, structural integrity, and overall state
Mileage or age
relative to the market for that equipment type
Demand
some makes and models are in higher demand than others at any given time
Location
transportation costs to your location are factored in
There is no obligation to accept our offer. If you accept, we move to scheduling. If you decline, there’s no pressure and no hard feelings.
Note An offer made from photos and a description is an estimate. If we get there and the truck has something the photos didn’t show, the number can change.
We Come to You — Pickup & Payment
Once you accept our offer we schedule a pickup time that works for you. We come to your location. — yard, job site, farm, port, warehouse, or home.
At pickup we handle:
Title
The title is the paperwork. You sign it over to us and it goes with the truck.
Bill of sale
Available if you want one, or if we think you should have one.
Payment
We pay either cash or electronically.
Important Have your title ready at pickup. If the title has a lien, the lien must be resolved before or at closing. Contact us beforehand if there’s a lien and we’ll walk you through the process.
What We Accept
Here’s a breakdown of what qualifies.
Damaged Equipment
Show all damage in photos — honest disclosure speeds up closing.
High Mileage
There is no mileage cutoff. A 1,500,000-mile Kenworth with good mechanical condition can still bring a meaningful offer. Mileage is one factor among many — it doesn’t automatically disqualify a truck.
Salvage Title
We purchase trucks with salvage titles. Salvage title equipment is priced accordingly but absolutely purchased. Tell us the title status when we talk.
CARB Non-Compliant
California CARB emissions non-compliance does not disqualify a truck. We purchase non-compliant trucks as-is. No retrofit or upgrade required before selling.
Selling a Fleet
If you’re selling multiple trucks at once — whether it’s 2 units or 200 — the fleet process is slightly different from a single unit sale.
Fleet purchases are one of our core specialties. We buy fleets of any size, part of a fleet, or a single unit out of one.
Fleet sellers include:
Trucking companies downsizing or closing
Leasing operators liquidating off-lease inventory
Fleet managers offloading surplus equipment
Bankruptcy trustees liquidating assets
Banks and lenders with repossessed commercial vehicles
We pay either cash or electronically. Visit our Sell My Fleet page for more information.

Process FAQ
Detailed answers to the most common questions about selling a truck to Big Ugly Truck.
- What Happens if the Truck Is Different Than Described at Pickup?If the truck is materially different from what was described — significant undisclosed damage, a different mileage, major missing components — we may adjust the offer at pickup. This is why we encourage complete and honest disclosure upfront. Minor discrepancies that don’t materially affect value won’t change the offer. We don’t use small differences as an excuse to renegotiate.
- Do You Buy Equipment Outside the U.S.?We currently only purchase trucks located within the 50 U.S. states. We do not purchase equipment located in Canada, Mexico, or internationally.
