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

Mine #1, a crushed-stone quarry, lies 6.1 miles south-east of Hayden on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine register, and SOUTHERN RED ROCK, LLC quarries crushed stone 18 miles to the south-west. If your dump truck or tri-axle has hauled aggregate from either one, tell us which quarry and send photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab so we can see the truck as it stands.

Black Warrior Mine No 1 is a coal mine 12.7 miles south-west, and the Dodge Mine coal preparation plant sits 13 miles north-west, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A truck parked at a mine gate does not need to come home first; give us the site, the name of whoever controls access and a phone number, and we arrange collection there.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists the Gargus Borrow Pit, working sand and gravel 18.1 miles east, and TREMENDOUS PIT, cutting dimension stone 21.5 miles north-east. Haulers who split their loads between these pits can sell from wherever the tractor is parked that week.

Of the 73 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in Hayden, 30 name general freight as a cargo they handle. Seventeen haul logs, poles, beams and lumber, sixteen move farm supplies and sixteen carry machinery and large objects, so log trucks, flatbeds, lowboys and box trucks all come out of this one small town. Tell us the body type and the trailer it pulled, and have the VIN ready.

Of those 73 operators, the federal census records 59 working intrastate and 14 crossing state lines, while 39 run private fleets that haul their own goods. An in-state hauler’s truck usually sits close to Hayden; for an interstate rig, tell us where the truck is today, which may be a terminal out of state.

Three new carriers registered in Hayden in 2025 and five in 2024 under FMCSA’s carrier census. If you set up recently and are now selling, bring your registration and the title in your own name, and tell us if a lender is still on it.

Sixty-four Hayden carriers report drivers working inside a 100-mile radius and 69 report drivers going farther, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, so a carrier can appear in both counts. Ten carriers in that census reported annual distance, and their median was 42,313 miles per truck; have the odometer reading on hand when you call.

Twenty-seven trucks belonging to Hayden carriers were stopped between October 2024 and August 2026 in FMCSA roadside inspection records; half or more, 55.6 percent, were ten or more years old, and the median model year was 2013. Whatever the year, send the VIN, the model year and the engine details, plus any service records you keep in the cab.

The three largest fleets on file with the federal carrier census run 14, 10 and 4 power units, with 10, 9 and 3 drivers. A fleet owner selling several trucks at once can give us one list of VINs and locations, and we work through the units together.

Alabama titles are issued through the Alabama Department of Revenue, which handles applications through County License Plate Issuing Officials. Hayden sellers use the Blount County office, about 15.8 miles away on the Alabama Department of Revenue’s list. On the licensing page of the Alabama Department of Revenue, that office sits at 220 2nd Ave. E., Room 104, Oneonta, 35121, according to the Alabama Department of Revenue.

If the title is missing, start the replacement at that Oneonta office before you list the truck with us, and keep the receipt. A title that still names a lender needs the lender’s release letter, so request it at the same visit.

Construction accounts for 110 of the 640 jobs located in Hayden in 2023 on the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, or 17.2 percent, and manufacturing for 79, or 12.3 percent. Dump trucks, flatbeds and box trucks serving job sites and plants are trucks we buy; tell us whether yours carries a crane, a lift gate or a dump body.

A contractor retiring a truck from one of those firms can sell it from the yard; tell us the yard address and the hours someone is there to open it.

Across Blount County, the USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 980 farms, with cattle, corn and soybeans at the top. Livestock haulers, grain trucks and the farm-supply flatbeds counted above can be collected at the farm; give us directions past the last paved road if the truck sits in a field.

Twenty-odd miles south, 20.9 to be exact, the North American Rail Network from the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the NEW BOYLES rail yard. If your tractor drays to or from that yard and is parked near it, we collect it there instead of in town.

Birmingham Airport, listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics as a military installation, is 22.3 miles south. Trucks that end up parked on the Birmingham side of the county line are inside the same pickup area as those in Hayden, so just give us the street address.
