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

Four rows are filed here. A National Guard reservation sits 3.88 miles from the middle of town. Queen Creek Stone, under CalMat, works construction sand and gravel with 10 employees, and Ringo Canyon Granite works the same commodity with 3. Measured between the published coordinates, those two sit 6.6 and 5.8 miles from the Guard row — so all three are genuinely local to each other.

The fourth is not. A sand and gravel row under Superstition Crushing, reporting 3 employees, is filed to this town by its registration address, and its coordinate lies 61.3 miles from the Guard reservation on the same measurement. It is somebody’s office address, not somebody’s pit, and we have kept it out of the local picture.

What that leaves is 13 people across two working sand and gravel operations within about six miles of each other, plus a Guard row whose function, acreage and staffing were not established and so are not stated here.

Those two pits — Queen Creek Stone and Ringo Canyon Granite, 13 people between them — are not serving this town.

Construction sand and gravel is a low-value, heavy commodity whose economics are set by haul distance, so a pit exists where the building is. Pinal County has been on the receiving end of a metro spreading outwards for years, and that is what an aggregate operation of this size within six miles of a small town means: the material is going to subdivisions and roadworks rather than to anything here.

The truck that does it is the standard article of this state — tandem and tri-axle dumps running short loaded legs and returning empty, all day, on paved roads. Brakes, clutch, tipping gear and suspension take the punishment; the engine rarely does. So we go over the body and the running gear before the driveline, and a low odometer on a truck from here is expected rather than suspicious.

Every load off those two pits runs 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.

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 two pits, mixers and water trucks behind them, day cabs and road tractors, flatbeds and stake beds, service bodies, box trucks, rollbacks, and the crew pickups. Box trucks and straight trucks are not a Pinal County thing in particular — they are everywhere — and we buy those too.

Close enough in that all four ways are easy: 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. With 13 employees across Queen Creek Stone and Ringo Canyon Granite, and a Guard reservation 3.88 miles out that buys nothing, the local trade is a good deal smaller than the amount of construction suggests.

• 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 pits are actually near Florence?Queen Creek Stone under CalMat with 10 employees and Ringo Canyon Granite with 3. Measured between coordinates they are 6.6 and 5.8 miles from the Guard reservation row here.
• And the fourth row?Filed here by a registration address. Its coordinate is 61.3 miles away on the same measurement, so we do not treat it as local and we would rather tell you than pad the page with it.
• My truck only did short hauls.That is the shape of aggregate work into a spreading metro. Brakes, clutch, tipping gear and suspension wear out while the odometer stays low, so we look there first and read the hour meter.
• 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. Behind Queen Creek Stone and Ringo Canyon Granite, 13 employees between them, sits a much bigger population of owner-operators hauling for whoever has work in Pinal County, and construction work stops all at once rather than tapering.

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 Florence and across Pinal County.
