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

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 3,433 active motor carriers registered in Aurora. If yours is one of them, keep the USDOT number handy when you get in touch, along with the title and the current Colorado registration for the truck you want to sell.

Of those Aurora carriers, 2,439 run intrastate only and 992 are authorised for interstate work, and 1,154 are private fleets hauling their own goods, according to the same FMCSA census. A truck that has stayed inside Colorado and one that has crossed state lines both qualify; just tell us which kind of work it did so we ask the right follow-up questions.

New registrations have held steady: the FMCSA carrier census shows 276 new Aurora carriers in 2025 and 274 in 2024. If you started an operation in one of those years and are now stepping back from it, a single tractor or a whole small fleet can be sold together, so list every unit by VIN in your first message.

General freight is the cargo class most Aurora carriers list, with 2,136 of them naming it in FMCSA’s carrier census. Dry vans and reefers pulled behind day cabs and sleepers from that work are trucks we buy; photos of each side of the cab, the frame and the tires let us see it before anyone travels out.

The census also records 385 local carriers moving motor vehicles, 369 moving household goods and 307 handling machinery and large objects. For a car-hauler rig, a moving box truck or a lowboy tractor, include the trailer or body details in your message, since a tractor and its equipment can be collected on one visit.

Drivers employed by Aurora carriers split between 7,127 who stay within 100 miles and 5,310 who run beyond that, by FMCSA’s carrier census. A local truck is usually parked at a yard or home address in the metro, while a long-haul unit may be out on the road; give us the address where it will sit when you are ready to hand it over.

Among 626 Aurora carriers that reported mileage, FMCSA’s census puts the median at 26,667 miles per truck per year. Have the current odometer reading and the VIN ready when you call, as those two details start every conversation.

Roadside inspections give another view: FMCSA roadside inspection records from August 2024 to August 2026 cover 2,031 trucks tied to Aurora carriers, with a median model year of 2019 and 27.5 percent ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, send the registration and any service records you keep with it.

The Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal named Aurora 6.3 miles north-west of the city and another, Denver CO, 13.3 miles out in the same direction. Tankers that load at those racks can be collected from a terminal lot as long as someone can let us through the gate, so tell us who controls access.

Two Sunco liquid bulk terminals appear in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings, at 13.8 and 14 miles north-west of Aurora. If your tractor pulled tank trailers between those sites, say which ones; that history helps us understand the truck alongside the photos.

Rail traffic gathers to the west and north-west: the North American Rail Network shows the Sand Creek yard 13.7 miles away and the Pullman yard 14 miles out, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Denver rail intermodal ramp 13.8 miles west. Container chassis tractors and drayage day cabs from that work can be picked up wherever they are parked near the yards.

Of 172,930 jobs located in Aurora in 2023, the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts place 11,646 in transportation and warehousing and 11,403 in wholesale trade. Box trucks and tractors from distribution work are often parked at a warehouse dock; confirm with the site manager that we can reach the truck there before the collection is booked.

Construction accounts for 6,271 Aurora jobs and manufacturing 4,529 in the same LEHD counts, and County Business Patterns records 862 construction establishments in the area. Dump trucks, mixers and flatbeds from those firms can be collected from a job site or contractor yard; bring the title and note any attached equipment that goes with the truck.

County Business Patterns also lists 44 warehousing establishments. If a straight truck or yard tractor belongs to one of those businesses, the person named on the title is the one who signs, so check that name matches the company before we arrive.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 607 farms in Arapahoe County, with cattle, wheat and equine operations at the top of the list. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and horse-trailer tractors from those farms are trucks we buy, and we collect them at the farm itself.

Before collection, find the title and the registration, and if the truck has been parked in a barn or pasture, send a pin or directions from the nearest county road along with photos so the pickup crew can find it.

Colorado’s Air Quality Control Commission has adopted the Advanced Clean Trucks Rule and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Rule, and both are listed as in force. You do not need to sort out how either applies to your truck before selling it; just tell us the make, model year and engine.

Have the title, registration and any emissions or inspection paperwork in one folder, and include photos of the engine label and the door-jamb sticker so the truck’s details are clear from the start.

• My truck is parked near Buckley Space Force Base. Do you come to it?We come to it: the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places Buckley Space Force Base 2 miles west of Aurora, and we collect from addresses around it. Give us the street address and confirm the truck sits outside any secured gate.
• Can you collect a tanker from the Aurora fuel terminal?A tanker parked there can be collected. The Energy Information Administration lists the Aurora petroleum product terminal 6.3 miles north-west of the city; tell us who manages the lot so access can be arranged with them.
• I run a cattle or wheat operation in Arapahoe County. Will you buy the farm truck?Farm trucks are on our list. The Census of Agriculture from USDA lists cattle and wheat among the top farm types across the county’s 607 farms, and we collect farm trucks where they are parked once you send the title details and photos.
