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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a portable sand and gravel operation called PORTABLE #1 Fort Collins 5.7 miles south-east of town, and Knox Pit 6.3 miles to the north-west. A dump truck or tractor that loads at either site can stay parked there while you sell it. Give us the pit name and the gate contact so collection is arranged with whoever controls access.

Two dimension-stone quarries sit just past nine miles out, according to MSHA: one at 9.3 miles south-west and the Stone Wholesale Brownstone Quarry at 9.5 miles north-west. Flatbeds that carry cut stone off those benches are trucks we buy. Photograph the deck, the headache rack and the cab, and keep the registration with the title.

Farther out, at 24.9 miles south-west, Mine Safety and Health Administration records place the Lyons Cement Plant run by Cemex. A mixer or bulk tractor kept near Lyons can be collected right there; send us the Lyons address with the photos.

Active carriers based in Fort Collins number 777 in FMCSA’s carrier census, and 527 of them run private fleets that move their own goods. If your truck belongs to a business rather than a for-hire outfit, the title may be in the company’s name; have an officer of that company ready to sign it.

By cargo, FMCSA’s carrier census shows 317 local carriers marked for general freight, 182 for machinery and large objects, 100 for logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 82 for garbage and refuse.

Drivers working within 100 miles of base total 3,245 across Fort Collins carriers, with 1,085 more going beyond that radius, per FMCSA. A short-haul truck is often parked at a yard on the edge of town each night, and that yard is where we would collect it.

The typical Fort Collins truck logs 13,887 miles a year, the median FMCSA’s census gives for the 168 local carriers that report mileage. Write down the current odometer reading before you call, along with the VIN, since those are the first two things we ask for.

In FMCSA roadside inspection records from August 2024 to August 2026, 470 trucks from local carriers were inspected; their median model year was 2019, and 34.26 percent were ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, have the title, the registration and any service records together in one folder.

Three Fort Collins carriers in the FMCSA census run 402, 319 and 204 power units, with 269, 486 and 350 drivers respectively. A fleet selling more than one unit can send a single list of VINs, titles and yard locations, and we work through the units together.

New registrations keep arriving: FMCSA’s carrier census records 38 new Fort Collins carriers in 2024 and 36 in 2025. If you started a small operation recently and are selling its first truck, a lienholder may still be on the title; have the lender’s payoff contact handy so the lien release can be handled.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,620 farms in Larimer County, with cattle, milk and corn at the top. A grain truck or livestock hauler kept on a farm outside town is collected from the farm; tell us which gate to use and whether the lane takes a tow rig.

The North American Rail Network shows a rail yard named North just 3.3 miles north of town. Tractors that shuttle trailers to and from that yard can be picked up wherever they are parked between moves.
