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

TREMENDOUS PIT, a dimension-stone quarry, lies 5.5 miles south of Snead on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s mine list. Brooksville Quarry, a crushed-stone site, is 6.2 miles to the south-west on that same MSHA register. A tandem dump or a flatbed that hauls cut block between these sites and Snead is a truck we buy, and it can stay parked at the pit or in your yard when we come for it.

Heading the other way, Summit Quarry crushes stone 7.7 miles north-west of town, the MSHA register shows. If your dump body or end-dump trailer has hauled from Summit, send us photos of the bed, the hoist and the cab, plus the VIN plate, and tell us which gate we should use to reach it.

A sand and gravel operation called Gargus Borrow Pit is listed 11 miles south by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Borrow-pit trucks often sit on site between jobs; if yours does, give us the pit’s name and who can open the gate on the day we arrive.

Guntersville Sand, an industrial-mineral mine 10.5 miles north of Snead, appears in federal mine-safety records kept by MSHA. Trucks that pull sand from that site toward Guntersville share the same road as grain haulers heading for the river, and either kind can be collected wherever it is kept.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists Guntersville, AL as a port 18.8 miles north-east of Snead. A tractor that has run trailers down to the Guntersville barge dock is welcome here; tell us whether it is a day cab or a sleeper and have the registration card in the cab when we look at it.

ALABAMA CITY, a rail yard 20 miles east of Snead, is named in the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Drivers who move loads between that yard and the Blount County hills can sell a tractor or a box truck to us without bringing it back to town first.

Further out, about 22.4 miles to the south-east, the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Ashville Quarry at Hwy 26 and Hwy 33 as an industrial-mineral mine. If your truck works that run, tell us the address where it is kept and who can hand over the keys.

Around Snead and across the rest of the county, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 980 farms in Blount County, with cattle, corn and soybeans the top products. Stock trailers, cattle pots and grain hoppers all fit what we purchase, along with the tractor or straight truck pulling them.

Farm trucks around Snead are often titled to a family member or a farm business rather than the driver. Before we collect one, check whose name is on the title and make sure that person can sign, since the signature on the title is what lets the sale close.

In 2023 the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts recorded 421 jobs in Snead, and 76 of them, or 18.1 percent, sat in wholesale trade. Straight trucks, box vans and reefer units that make deliveries for those wholesale employers belong on the list of trucks we take.

For a delivery truck, keep the service records together with the title and note any lift gate or refrigeration unit when you describe it. A short list of the body’s equipment lets us ask the right follow-up questions about your truck before we arrange the visit.

For a Snead truck, the Alabama Department of Revenue issues the title, working through County License Plate Issuing Officials. About 12.8 miles from Snead, the Department of Revenue’s office list places Blount County’s in Oneonta, ZIP 35121, in Room 104 at 220 2nd Ave. E. as the place a Snead owner asks.

If the certificate for your truck has gone missing, the Oneonta office is where a replacement is requested. Start that request before you contact us, and keep the registration and any lien release with it, so the paperwork is ready when the truck is collected.
