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

Six industrial rows are filed at this town and five of them are pits. Miller Mine works crushed and broken stone with 2 employees; Sheep Hill Cinder Mine, under The Landscape Connection Commercial Supply Yard, reports 7; Red Pit Mine 6; a sand and gravel plant at Gray Mountain 15; and a second sand plant 2. The sixth row is a liquid bulk terminal under Enterprise Products.

Two of those pits share a problem, and it is a single bridge. Miller Mine and Sheep Hill Cinder Mine each meet exactly one structure coded below legal loads inside ten miles, and it is the same structure both times: record 08607 in the 2025 National Bridge Inventory, carrying Meade Lane, rated 24.5 metric tonnes. It sits 5.71 miles from one gate and 9.22 miles from the other.

Meade Lane is city-maintained. That is the part worth holding on to, because the county around it is not the problem: Coconino County maintains 39 bridges and posts none of them. The only weight restriction either pit meets belongs to a city.

That single rating is the whole constraint, and it converts into something a driver can act on.

Item 64 of the inventory records the gross weight of the rating vehicle, so 24.5 metric tonnes — about 27.0 US tons — is the whole truck, not the payload. Take off the roughly 11.0 tonnes an empty tandem dump weighs and about 13.5 tonnes of stone is what crosses. Read it in three bands: under 11.0 metric tonnes nothing commercial crosses at all, even empty; between 11.0 and 36.3 the crossing takes a truck only part loaded; at or above 36.3 a legal load goes over whole. Meade Lane sits in the middle band, which is the awkward one.

And read it as a ceiling on what we know rather than on what exists. It is the lowest rating inside a ten-mile circle, and at 64.1% of the nodes measured this way a tighter crossing turns up between ten miles and twenty. Not every Flagstaff pit meets it either — the circle around Red Pit Mine holds 4 structures and none of them is restricted at all.

Both of those numbers sit under a state figure written differently from most.

Arizona sets the single axle at 20,000 lb under A.R.S. § 28-1100, and the enforcement tolerance is included in that number rather than added on top of it. Alabama is the only other state on file that builds it in the same way — Georgia, Kentucky and Florida all publish a base and then allow something over it. So a driver who has worked one of those states and moved here can arrive expecting headroom this section does not give.

The gross limit is a different matter. It was not extracted from the section text when the rule file was compiled, so this page does not state one. An unverified ceiling is worse than no ceiling, and the section itself is where the answer is.

A.R.S. § 28-1100. Information, not legal advice, and only as current as the date the rule file was last verified.

Beyond the weight rules, the paperwork is one sentence and then a set of fixes.

Everything after that sentence is a fix rather than a category. A lost title has a counter replacement. Where none exists there is a bonded route. Both are ordinary and neither stops a sale.

Arizona has no percentage threshold for salvage. A.R.S. § 28-2091 brands a vehicle salvage where it has been stolen, wrecked, destroyed, flood or water damaged, or otherwise damaged to the point that the owner, the leasing company, the lender or the insurer considers it uneconomical to repair. That is a judgement rather than an arithmetic test, and the wording sits closest to California’s. Four of the seven states on file work this way; Kentucky and Alabama use 75 per cent and Florida 80.

Flood and water damage are named inside the definition itself, which matters more here than the altitude might suggest — a truck that has spent winters in wet cinder is not a flood truck, and nothing in that section says it is. There is also a separate nonrepairable class, and A.R.S. § 28-2095 covers the restored salvage certificate; its inspection triggers were not extracted, so this page does not describe them.

A.R.S. § 28-2091, § 28-2095. Information, not legal advice.

Those rules land the same way on every body style, and so does the offer. We buy all of them.

Tandem and tri-axle dump trucks and aggregate haulers off the cinder and stone runs, water trucks and service bodies behind them, day cabs and road tractors, flatbeds and stake beds, tankers off the terminal side, box trucks, rollbacks, and the crew pickups. Box trucks and straight trucks are not a Coconino County thing in particular — they are everywhere — and we buy those too.

Every way of doing this works here: we come to you and drive it away, we come to you and tow it, we buy it remotely and arrange the tow, or you drive it to us. The five pits on file at this town — Miller Mine, Sheep Hill Cinder Mine, Red Pit Mine and the two sand plants — report 32 employees between them, which tells you the scale of the local trade — it is not the kind of market that quietly absorbs a truck when it comes free.

• Does it have to run?No. It does have to be complete — if the engine, transmission, doors, rear ends, drive shafts, wheels or anything under the hood have been removed, we can’t buy it. Rust is not a disqualifier.
• Which bridge is the one people mean?Record 08607, carrying Meade Lane, rated 24.5 metric tonnes and city-maintained. It is 5.71 miles from Miller Mine and 9.22 miles from Sheep Hill Cinder Mine, and it is the only structure coded below legal loads that either of them meets inside ten miles.
• Is the county posting bridges too?No. Coconino County maintains 39 bridges and posts none of them. The one restriction here belongs to a city.
• My truck ran part loaded for years.That is what a 24.5-tonne crossing does — roughly 13.5 tonnes of stone over an 11.0-tonne empty tandem. It means more trips for the same tonnage, so we look at the hour meter and the brakes before the odometer.
• What is the axle limit?20,000 lb on a single axle under A.R.S. § 28-1100, with the enforcement tolerance already inside that number. Do not add anything to it.
• What about the title?We need one unless the truck is old enough that it never had one. Lost titles have a counter replacement; where none exists there’s a bonded route.

Those are the mechanics. The reasons behind a call are more personal than that.

Retiring. A medical that did not go the way it used to. A contract that ended, or an outfit that has grown out of one truck and into another and needs the first one gone. Miller Mine reports 2 employees and Sheep Hill Cinder Mine 7 — the two pits that share Meade Lane between them — and outfits that size do not turn equipment over in lots.

Most of those aren’t happy reasons, and we don’t treat them like they are. Somebody wants a straight answer and the truck gone by the end of the week. That’s what we’re here for, in Flagstaff and across Coconino County.
