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

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 65 active carriers in Edwards, and 62 of them are registered for intrastate work against just 3 cleared to cross state lines. If your truck worked for an in-state outfit like these, its Colorado title and current registration are the two papers to find first.

Of those 65 carriers, 38 run private fleets, according to the same FMCSA census, meaning they haul their own goods rather than freight for hire. If your truck belonged to a contractor or a supplier hauling its own materials, tell us what the business did and what the truck carried; that history tells us how it was set up.

Fleet sizes on FMCSA’s census here range from a single truck up to 159 power units with 108 drivers, with the next two listed at 20 and 14 power units. Whether you are selling one owner-operator tractor or several units from a yard, send the VIN for each one and we will work through them together.

Thirteen Edwards carriers on FMCSA’s census haul general freight and another 13 move machinery and large objects. Lowboys, flatbeds and the tractors that pull them fit that second group; photograph the deck, the ramps and the hitch along with the cab so we see the whole rig.

Eleven carriers here are registered for logs, poles, beams and lumber, by FMCSA’s count, and 8 carry motor vehicles. A log truck or a car hauler is often parked at a job site or a mill yard rather than at home, so give us the exact address and the name of whoever can let us onto the property.

If the truck has hauled more than one kind of load, list them all when you write to us. A tractor that pulled lumber one season and equipment the next is common in a carrier pool of 65, as FMCSA’s census shows the cargo types overlap across these firms.

Drivers working for Edwards carriers mostly stay local: FMCSA’s carrier census counts 252 who operate within 100 miles and 44 who go beyond that radius. A truck that works inside that circle is usually within reach of town on the day we collect it, so tell us where it is kept between jobs.

Ten carriers here reported their annual mileage to FMCSA, and the median across them is 9,500 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading when you contact us; it is a simple figure that helps us identify the exact truck you are selling.

Gather any service records from the shop that maintained the truck, even if they are just invoices in a folder. If your own file has gaps, the shop that did the work can usually print copies of what it has on record.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 3,695 jobs in Edwards, and 375 of them, or 10.1 percent, are in construction. Dump trucks, mixers and the flatbeds that deliver materials to building sites belong to that work; if yours is one of them, include a photo of the body as well as the chassis.

Builders have a steady presence around this town: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns shows 117 construction establishments for Edwards. If your truck was owned by one of those firms and is titled to the business, have the person authorised to sign for the company ready when we finalise the sale.

Transportation and warehousing accounts for 97 jobs in Edwards, 2.6 percent of the total in the 2023 LEHD figures. Many trucks here belong to firms whose main business is something else, so a title in a company name is routine; just tell us who signs.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists ERA - 1, a sand and gravel operation 16 miles west of Edwards. A dump truck or end-dump trailer that hauls from a pit like that may be parked at the site; give us directions to the gate and a contact who can open it for the collection.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 211 farms in Eagle County, with cattle, sheep and hogs leading the list. Stock trailers, flatbeds hauling hay and the trucks that pull them come off ranches like those, and we will collect from the ranch itself rather than ask you to bring the truck into Edwards.

Colorado’s Advanced Clean Trucks Rule is in force according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s code of regulations. It applies statewide, so a truck registered in Eagle County sits under it just as one in Denver does.

The state’s Heavy-Duty Low NOx Rule is also in force under those same published regulations. Neither rule changes what you need to sell a truck to us: a title in your name or your company’s, the registration, and the VIN.

• My dump truck sits at the gravel pit west of Edwards - will you pick it up from the pit?ERA - 1, the sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 16 miles west of Edwards, is within our reach, and we collect from the site.

• My Edwards building firm holds the title - which of us signs it over?Edwards has 117 construction establishments in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, and a company title is routine for us. The person authorised to sign for the business signs the title; have their name ready when you contact us.
• My truck never left the Eagle County area - is a local-only history a problem?Of the drivers working for Edwards carriers, FMCSA’s census counts 252 within 100 miles, so local work is the norm here. Tell us where the truck is kept and send the VIN; how far it travelled does not stop the sale.
• Do you buy livestock and ranch trucks from around Eagle County?Eagle County has 211 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, led by cattle, sheep and hogs, and the trucks that serve them are ones we buy. Send photos of the truck and any trailer you are selling with it.
