Sell your semi truck for cash in Center Point the easy and convenient way

Center Point sits in Jefferson County on Birmingham’s north-east side, a town of 15,914 by the Census Bureau’s count, with quarries, rail yards and fuel terminals a short drive south and south-west. The trucks registered here haul general freight, steel coil, lumber and vehicles, and many of them stay parked within a few miles of home between loads.

Sixty-seven small carriers on a north Birmingham suburb

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 67 active motor carriers based in Center Point, and 57 of them record general freight among the cargo they haul. If your tractor or box truck pulled mixed loads for one of those outfits, or for your own authority, have the title and current Alabama registration in one place before you call, along with a few clear photos of the cab, the frame and the tires.

No Center Point carrier runs more than four power units, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, which shows the three biggest at 4, 2 and 2 trucks. Owner-operators and two-truck outfits make up the town, so the person selling is usually the person who drove it. Tell us the VIN and the odometer reading first, then where the truck is kept.

Ten new carriers registered here in 2025 and four in 2024, the federal census shows. If you started hauling recently and are now stepping out of it, the sale works the same way for a truck you have owned a year as for one you have owned twenty.

Steel and timber

Coil trailers, log rigs and car haulers

Twelve Center Point carriers list metal sheets, coils and rolls on FMCSA’s carrier census, nine list logs, poles, beams and lumber, and eight list motor vehicles. A flatbed tractor, a log truck or a car hauler from that mix can be sold on its own or with its trailer.

For a coil or lumber rig, gather the strap and chain inventory, any DOT annual inspection sheets and the trailer title if it is part of the sale. For a car hauler, note the trailer’s deck count and send a photo of the ramps.

Hauling radius and USDOT authority on the Center Point census

Of the carriers on FMCSA’s census here, 32 are cleared for interstate work and 35 operate only inside Alabama, while 15 run private fleets hauling their own goods. An intrastate truck may carry Alabama-only markings; leave them on, and give us the USDOT number so we can match the truck to its record.

The same federal census counts 33 drivers working within 100 miles of Center Point and 73 going further. Among the 11 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA’s census, the median truck covered 69,160 miles a year. If yours is out on a run when you contact us, tell us the date it gets back to Jefferson County and we will plan the collection around that.

Stone, cement and the two rail yards south of Center Point

Dolcito Quarry, a crushed-stone operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, lies about 6 miles south-west of town, and the same agency lists the Leeds cement plant 10.7 miles south-east. A dump truck or mixer that worked either site can be collected wherever it sits; give us the gate contact if the truck is still parked on a quarry lot.

The North American Rail Network places the Norris rail yard 6 miles south and the New Boyles yard 6.9 miles south-west of Center Point. Drayage tractors that shuttle between those yards and local warehouses often stay parked near them, so send us the street address of the lot rather than your home address.

Bulk liquid and fuel terminals south-west of town

Bulk Transport CO, a liquid bulk terminal on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list, is 8 miles south-west, and the Energy Information Administration shows the Birmingham petroleum product terminal 11.2 miles out in the same direction. If your tractor pulled tankers in and out of those sites, list the terminals it served and keep any hazmat or tank inspection paperwork with the title.

A tank trailer sold with the tractor needs its own title and its last pressure or visual test report. If the trailer belongs to someone else, tell us whose it is so it can be dropped before we collect the power unit.

Posted bridges, local payrolls and Jefferson County cattle

Within Center Point, the National Bridge Inventory counts 16 bridges, one of them load-posted and none under 14 feet. If the truck is parked down a street that crosses the posted bridge, mention it so the recovery rig takes another way in.

Jobs located here numbered 2,388 in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, with 149 in construction and 75 in wholesale trade. A contractor’s dump truck or a distributor’s straight truck from either line of work is something we collect, with the registration and any service records riding along.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallies 398 farms across Jefferson County, with cattle and cut Christmas trees among the leading products. A livestock hauler or a farm-plated truck from one of those operations qualifies too; bring the farm tag paperwork with the title.

The questions we get asked in Center Point

  • My dump truck is still sitting on a lot by Dolcito Quarry; does it have to come home first?Dolcito Quarry sits about 6 miles south-west of Center Point on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from there. Send the quarry-side lot address plus a phone number for whoever holds the gate key.
  • My truck never left Alabama under my authority; does an intrastate-only USDOT number matter?Thirty-five of Center Point’s 67 carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census run intrastate only, so an Alabama-only truck is common here. Send the USDOT number with the title and Alabama registration when you get in touch.
  • Can I sell my coil trailer along with the tractor?Twelve carriers in town list metal sheets, coils and rolls on FMCSA’s census, and we buy tractor and trailer together. Have both titles ready and photograph the deck and the coil racks.
  • There is a load-posted bridge on my street. Will the recovery rig get to my truck past it?The National Bridge Inventory shows one of Center Point’s 16 bridges is load-posted. Tell us which street the truck is on and the pickup is routed around it.
