Because you want the truck gone — not another listing, another no-show, or another "maybe."

We’re a direct buyer, not a broker. You deal with us. We buy semi trucks (our specialty) plus box, dump, utility, vocational, dually, and pickup — as long as it’s complete. Clear title required. All 50 states. We come to you.

The pitch in three beats:

1. Straight deal — no auction fees, no middleman cut, no endless tire-kickers.

2. Honest process — photos to start, offer you can take or leave, pay at pickup.

3. We handle the hard part — pickup and title work so you’re not chasing buyers across town.

Ugly ones welcome. Pretty ones too. If the title’s in hand, we’re ready to talk.

Oshkosh models we buy

ModelYearsClassTypeEngines
Commercial — Concrete Mixers & Vocational Oshkosh’s core commercial truck lineup — the S-Series front discharge concrete mixer and specialty vocational trucks. All purchased.
S-Series Front Discharge Mixer1990s — Present8Front Discharge Concrete · 4-Axle / 6×6Detroit DD13 / Cummins X12
Details

The Oshkosh S-Series is the flagship front discharge concrete mixer — the dominant front discharge truck in the North American ready-mix concrete industry. The front discharge design allows the driver to precisely position the chute for concrete placement without leaving the cab, which is a major productivity advantage over rear discharge mixers for flatwork and elevated pours. Available in 4-axle configuration with 6×6 and other drive configurations. Powered by the Detroit DD13 and Cummins X12 diesel engines. Available with CNG (compressed natural gas) from the factory. The S-Series number designation indicates drum capacity and configuration — the S-2146 and S-2346 are among the most commonly encountered. The S-Series is the most recognizable commercial Oshkosh in the used market.

Specialty Vocational TrucksVarious8Custom Purpose-Built · Heavy Haul / Recovery / Special—
Details

Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles produces a range of custom-built vocational trucks for applications beyond the standard S-Series mixer — including heavy haul tractors, recovery vehicles, motor home chassis, and specialty transport platforms. Oshkosh’s all-wheel-drive expertise and heavy-duty frame engineering make it the choice for applications that conventional truck manufacturers cannot adequately serve. Custom-built to customer specifications in the Oshkosh tradition.

McNeilus (Oshkosh) Refuse Trucks1970s — Present—Refuse Collection · Front Load / Rear Load / ASL · Oshkosh Corporation Brand—
Details

McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing — an Oshkosh Corporation brand — is one of the leading manufacturers of refuse truck bodies in North America, producing rear load, front load, and automated side load refuse collection bodies. McNeilus refuse bodies are typically mounted on Peterbilt, International, or other Class 8 chassis rather than Oshkosh-branded chassis. The McNeilus brand remains under Oshkosh Corporation following the 2023 divestiture of the rear discharge mixer business.

Defense — HEMTT, MTVR, PLS & LVSR Oshkosh’s military truck lineup — the most capable heavy tactical trucks ever built. Surplus and demilitarized examples appear in the civilian market. All purchased.
HEMTT — Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck1982 — Present—8×8 Heavy Tactical · 10-Ton Off-Road Payload · 35,800+ Built · M977 / M978 / M983 / M984 / M985—
Details

The HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) is the U.S. Army’s primary heavy tactical truck — an 8×8 all-wheel-drive platform in continuous production since 1982 with over 35,800 units built. Available in numerous variants including the M977 and M985 cargo trucks, M978 fuel tanker, M983 tractor, and M984 wrecker. Powered by Detroit Diesel and Caterpillar diesel engines. The HEMTT’s TAK-4 independent suspension system provides exceptional off-road mobility in any terrain. Surplus HEMTT trucks occasionally enter the civilian market through government auctions and are purchased by construction, mining, and heavy haul operators.

MTVR — Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement1999 — Present—6×6 Medium Tactical · 7-Ton Off-Road Payload · U.S. Marine Corps Primary · 11,000+ Built—
Details

The MTVR (Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement) is the U.S. Marine Corps’ primary medium tactical truck — a 6×6 platform with 7-ton off-road payload capacity, first delivered in 1999. Over 11,000 units built for the U.S. Marines and Navy plus export customers. Highly mobile across sand, mud, snow, and rough terrain. Available as cargo truck, wrecker, and tractor variants. Like the HEMTT, surplus MTVR trucks enter the civilian market through government disposal programs.

PLS — Palletized Load System1992 — Present—10×10 Heavy Tactical · 16.5-Ton Off-Road Payload · Load Handling System · M1074 / M1075—
Details

The PLS (Palletized Load System) is the U.S. Army’s heavy logistics truck — a 10×10 platform with a hydraulic hook arm that loads and unloads standardized flatracks without ground personnel or forklifts. Over 6,000 M1074 and M1075 units built plus thousands converted from A0 to A1 standard. Powered by the Caterpillar C15 diesel producing 600 HP with an Allison automatic transmission. The self-loading capability makes the PLS extraordinarily efficient for rapid logistics and ammunition resupply. Surplus PLS trucks in the civilian market are sought for heavy construction and mining operations. We purchase all PLS configurations.

LVSR — Logistics Vehicle System Replacement2009 — Present—10×10 Heavy Tactical · U.S. Marine Corps · MKR15 / MKR16 / MKR18 · 2,020 Built—
Details

The LVSR (Logistics Vehicle System Replacement) is the U.S. Marine Corps equivalent of the Army’s PLS — a 10×10 heavy tactical logistics truck with load handling system capability. Approximately 2,020 units built in MKR15 wrecker, MKR16 tractor, and MKR18 cargo variants. First fielded in 2009. The LVSR replaced the older LVS (Logistics Vehicle System) in Marine Corps service. Less commonly encountered in the civilian surplus market than the HEMTT or PLS due to lower production numbers.

Airport — ARFF & Ground Support Oshkosh Airport Products produces the most capable Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) trucks in the world. All purchased.
ARFF Trucks (P-Series & Striker)1968 — Present—Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting · Oshkosh Striker · Airport / Military ARFF · 6×6 / 8×8—
Details

Oshkosh has been building Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) trucks since 1968, when it produced the U.S. Navy’s MB-5 capable of carrying 400 gallons of water expandable to 5,000 gallons of extinguishing foam. The P-15 ARFF truck was developed in 1977. Today the Oshkosh Striker is the world’s leading ARFF vehicle — used at major commercial airports, military air bases, and government facilities worldwide. The Striker is available in 3,000, 4,000, and 6,000-gallon water capacity configurations in 6×6 and 8×8 drive arrangements. The TAK-4 independent suspension system allows the Striker to accelerate from 0–50 mph in under 25 seconds — the FAA response time requirement.

Ground Support VehiclesVarious—Airport Ground Support · Aircraft Tow Tractors · De-Icing Trucks—
Details

Oshkosh Airport Products produces a range of ground support equipment beyond the Striker ARFF — including aircraft tow tractors, de-icing vehicles, and specialty airport equipment. The U-30 aircraft tow tractor, designed in 1968 for the C5A cargo aircraft, was an early example of Oshkosh’s airport support capability. Surplus airport ground support vehicles occasionally enter the civilian market through airport equipment auctions.

Snow Removal — WT-Series & H-Series Oshkosh’s legendary snow removal trucks — airport runway plows and highway snow equipment. All purchased.
Airport Snow Removal1947 — Present—Airport Runway Plow · H-Series / WT-Series · One-Pass Runway Clearing · Military & Commercial Airports—
Details

Oshkosh’s airport snow removal trucks are among the most specialized vehicles on earth — designed to clear an entire runway in a single pass at speeds up to 55 mph. The WT-2206 of the post-WWII era could plow snow at speeds conventional equipment couldn’t approach — a capability critical to the Distant Early Warning system during the Cold War. Modern Oshkosh airport plows such as the H-series continue this legacy with massive blade width and high-speed clearing capability. Used at major commercial airports and U.S. military air bases worldwide. Surplus airport plows enter the civilian market through government disposal.

Highway Snow Equipment1925 — Present—Municipal & Highway · Snowplow Trucks · 4WD All-Wheel Drive—
Details

Oshkosh’s snow removal heritage extends back to the Model H truck of 1925 — a powerful six-cylinder truck that proved highly useful for road construction and snowplowing for municipalities. Oshkosh’s four-wheel-drive capability was a key differentiator in snow removal applications from the beginning. Today Oshkosh produces highway snow removal equipment for state DOT fleets, municipalities, and private contractors across the Snow Belt states.

About Oshkosh Truck

Oshkosh Corporation — originally the Oshkosh Motor Truck Manufacturing Company — was founded in 1917 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The company traces its roots to the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company, credited with building the second four-wheel-drive vehicle ever constructed in the United States. Oshkosh built its first truck (the Model A) in 1917 and has specialized in purpose-built heavy-duty 4WD trucks ever since. The company is now a Fortune 500 corporation with approximately 30 manufacturing plants worldwide.

Oshkosh’s business spans three major market segments: Defense (HEMTT, MTVR, PLS, LVSR and other military vehicles), Vocational (S-Series concrete mixers, McNeilus refuse bodies, airport ARFF trucks, and specialty vehicles), and Access Equipment (JLG aerial work platforms). Oshkosh is the only company that has delivered more than 100,000 military vehicles to U.S. forces — a milestone reached in 2013.

Oshkosh & The Military — A Century of Service

Oshkosh’s military vehicle production began in 1939 when the U.S. Army Air Corps selected the Model W-700 for snow removal at air bases. The company’s 4WD capability and extreme durability made it the natural choice for military logistics applications throughout World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. The HEMTT, introduced in 1982, became the backbone of U.S. Army heavy logistics and has served in every major U.S. military operation since. Over 100,000 Oshkosh military vehicles have been delivered to U.S. forces — more than any other manufacturer.
