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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the MLC - Calera crushed-stone quarry 3.7 miles south-east of Montevallo and the Maylene Plant & Quarry 4.7 miles to the north. A tri-axle dump or a tractor with an end-dump trailer that hauls out of either pit can be collected from the quarry lot itself, provided someone there can let us in. Give us the name of the person who holds the gate key when you first get in touch.

Thirteen miles east, on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, stands the Argos Roberta Plant, a cement plant. Bulk pneumatic trailers and the tractors that pull them between that plant and job sites are trucks we buy, and so are mixers. Photograph the trailer’s hatches and the tractor’s plate together so the VIN and the unit match in what you send.

Further out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Bessemer Shale Mine, an industrial-mineral mine, 16.2 miles north-west. If your truck is parked at a shale or clay site that far from Montevallo, leave it there; tell us the county road and we plan the pickup from the address.

Roberta’s yard, 3.2 miles south-east, and the Calera yard, 5.6 miles east, both appear on the North American Rail Network that the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics maintain. A day cab that shuttles loads to either yard can be collected from the yard lot or from your driveway in town. Have the registration card in the cab when we arrive.

For container work, Birmingham’s intermodal ramp lies 16.4 miles north-west and the Central Alabama ICTF at Bessemer about 20.5 miles north, both listed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A sleeper or day cab that drays boxes off those ramps can be sold from wherever it is parked after its last run. Send the odometer reading and the VIN first, since every later question builds on those two.

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 130 active motor carriers based in Montevallo, of which 60 run private fleets hauling their own goods. A contractor’s flatbed or a business’s straight truck sold out of one of those private fleets is welcome; the title simply needs to be in the name of the person or company signing it over.

Among those 130, the federal census tallies 60 carriers listing general freight, 37 machinery and large objects, 35 logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 27 farm supplies. A lowboy, a log trailer setup or a feed hauler from Montevallo fits what we collect just as well as a dry van tractor. Tell us the body or trailer type up front so the right questions come next.

Of the same group, 103 carriers are intrastate only and 27 run interstate, per the FMCSA figures. For an Alabama-only truck, the Alabama title and registration are usually all the paperwork the sale needs; an interstate unit should also have its IRP cab card on hand.

The three biggest fleets based in town run 14, 9 and 8 power units, according to FMCSA registration filings, and the drivers in those three number 16, 9 and 6. Whether you run one truck or a dozen, each unit sells on its own title, so list the VINs if you are selling more than one.

Carriers in Montevallo report 169 drivers working within 100 miles and 137 working beyond that radius, in FMCSA’s census. Twenty-two of those carriers reported mileage to FMCSA, and their median was 50,000 miles per truck a year. Put the current odometer figure in your first message along with clear photos of the cab, frame and tires.

Twelve new carriers registered here in 2025 and four in 2024, according to the FMCSA census. If you started a trucking business recently and now want to sell the unit, keep the bill of sale or title you bought it with so the ownership chain is clear.

Eighteen bridges are recorded in the Montevallo area by the National Bridge Inventory, and two of them carry a posted load limit; none has under 14 feet of clearance. When you describe where the truck is, mention the road it sits on so our driver can plan a route clear of the two posted spans.

A loaded dump truck or lowboy may sit on a farm lane or quarry access road rather than a state route. Tell us whether the truck will be empty or still carrying a load or attachment when we come, and whether a trailer stays hooked to it.

Of the 2,170 Montevallo jobs the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts recorded for 2023, manufacturing held 127 and transportation and warehousing 93. Box trucks and straight trucks used for plant deliveries or warehouse runs are on our list alongside tractors; have the registration and any service records ready.

Shelby County had 385 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cotton, cattle and equine operations. A cattle pot, a stock trailer tractor or a grain truck kept on a farm outside Montevallo can be picked up right there; give us directions to the barn or field gate and a phone number for whoever will be on site.

• Can you collect a tri-axle dump straight from the MLC quarry lot south-east of Montevallo?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the MLC - Calera quarry 3.7 miles south-east of Montevallo, and we collect from that lot.

• Is a Shelby County log hauler with bunks something you take?Thirty-five Montevallo carriers list logs, poles, beams and lumber in FMCSA’s carrier census, and log trucks are among the units we buy. Send photos of the tractor and the trailer or bunks, plus the VIN.
• Which documents cover an Alabama-only tractor sold from Montevallo?Most carriers here, 103 of 130 in FMCSA’s census, run intrastate only, and for those the Alabama title in your name plus the current registration covers the sale. Bring a photo ID for whoever signs the title.
• Our grain truck is behind a cattle barn outside Montevallo - is that reachable for pickup?Shelby County counted 385 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and we pick up from farm lots across the county. Tell us the road, the gate and whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck.
