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

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Central Alabama ICTF, the intermodal ramp at Bessemer, just 1.8 miles south-west of Lipscomb. Day cabs that pull chassis on and off that ramp are often parked near it between loads, so tell us whether yours sits at a yard by the terminal or at your home in Lipscomb, and we will plan the collection at that spot.

A container tractor from this ramp usually carries a long run of dispatch history, and that helps when you describe it. Send the VIN, the current odometer reading and a few photos of the cab, the frame rails and the fifth wheel, and keep the registration close by so the name on it can be matched to yours.

North of town, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Flintridge yard at 2.8 miles and the Elliot yard at 4.7 miles. Trucks that serve rail yards range from yard tractors to flatbeds hauling track material, and any of them is a truck we will look at.

If your truck spent its working life between Flintridge, Elliot and the Bessemer ramp, write down which of those sites it ran to and roughly how long. That short note, together with service records if you kept them, lets us ask about the truck itself instead of guessing where it worked.

Two petroleum product terminals appear on Energy Information Administration listings a few miles north-east of Lipscomb: the Birmingham terminal at 3.2 miles and the Birmingham Blending Terminal at 3.3 miles. Tractors pulling fuel tank trailers out of gates like these are welcome, and so are straight-body tank trucks.

For a tanker tractor, have the title, the registration and any terminal or hazmat inspection sheets ready before you call. If the trailer is sold separately or stays with you, say so at the start; we then plan the collection around the tractor alone and bring the right equipment to Lipscomb.

Lakeshore Quarry, a crushed-stone operation 3.4 miles north-east, and Bessemer Quarry, 6.3 miles south-west, are both on record with the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Lipscomb sits between them, so tri-axle dumps and tractors pulling end-dump trailers from either pit are a common sight on local roads, and we buy both kinds.

Six miles west, the Mine Safety and Health Administration also lists the Oak Grove Preparation Plant, a coal preparation site. Whether your truck hauled stone or coal, photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab from both sides, and let us know if it is parked at a pit, a plant or a lot in Lipscomb on the day we collect.

In Alabama, titles are handled by the Alabama Department of Revenue, working through County License Plate Issuing Officials. The office the Alabama Department of Revenue lists closest to Lipscomb is Jefferson - City of Vestavia Hills, at 1032 Montgomery Hwy., Vestavia Hills, 35216, about 8 miles away, and it serves residents of Vestavia Hills only.

If you live in Lipscomb rather than Vestavia Hills, check the Alabama Department of Revenue’s list of licensing offices for the one that serves your address before you apply for a duplicate. Once the replacement title is in your hands, send us a photo of the front, and the sale can go ahead on that document.

Lipscomb is in Jefferson County, where USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 398 farms, with cattle leading the list and cut Christmas trees close behind. Livestock haulers, flatbeds and farm-plated straight trucks from those operations are part of what we collect.

A truck used on a cattle or tree farm may be registered on farm plates, and that is fine. Tell us how it is plated, send photos of the body and the cab, and have the title in the name of whoever is selling, whether that is you or the farm itself.

• Can you collect my truck at the Bessemer intermodal ramp?The Bessemer ramp is 1.8 miles south-west of Lipscomb on Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, and a truck parked there or at any nearby yard can be collected where it stands. Give us the exact address and who holds the gate access.
• My title went missing and I live in Lipscomb, not Vestavia Hills - where do I apply for a duplicate?Alabama titles go through the Alabama Department of Revenue and its County License Plate Issuing Officials. The Vestavia Hills office the Alabama Department of Revenue lists, 8 miles from Lipscomb, serves only Vestavia Hills residents, so check the department’s office list for the one that covers your address.
• Will you buy a tri-axle that hauls from Lakeshore or Bessemer Quarry?Lakeshore Quarry and Bessemer Quarry, both listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration within about six miles of Lipscomb, keep dump trucks working in this area, and we buy them along with the end-dump tractors that haul from those pits.
• Will you take a fuel tanker tractor?Lipscomb has two Energy Information Administration-listed petroleum terminals just over three miles to the north-east, and tank tractors from runs like those are trucks we buy. Have the title, registration and any inspection sheets ready.
