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

Johnstown sits in Weld County between gravel pits, stone quarries and cattle country, and the trucks registered here haul machinery, grain and general freight across northern Colorado.

Selling a truck in Johnstown? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Gravel to the north-west and east, stone to the west

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Green/Croissant sand and gravel operation 5.1 miles north-west of Johnstown and the DENM pit 5.2 miles east. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that loads at either one is often parked on the pit’s edge or in a yard close by, so tell us which gate it sits behind and who holds the key.

Further out, Meadow Hollow Quarry is 10.6 miles west and TRUPP LOVELAND 18 miles north-west, both dimension-stone quarries on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s register. Flatbeds that carry cut stone from sites like these sell best with clear photos of the deck, the headache rack and the tie-down points, taken in daylight.

West toward the foothills, the Lyons Cement Plant Cemex Inc is 18.4 miles away according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your mixer or bulk tanker has been working that run, have the title, the current registration and any service records together before you call.

Two rail yards south-west and north-west

On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the LONGMONT yard lies 13.8 miles south-west of town. A day cab that shuttles loads to and from that yard can stay where it is; give us the street address and we arrange the collection there.

That North American Rail Network map also places the NORTH yard 21.3 miles north-west. Owners who keep a tractor near that yard and live in Johnstown do not need to move it home first; send the VIN, a photo of the odometer and the yard’s location.

Machinery, grain and farm supply carriers

Johnstown is home base for 186 active trucking outfits on the books of FMCSA’s carrier census, from one-truck owner-operators up. In that FMCSA census, 87 list general freight, 42 list machinery and large objects, 27 list grain, feed and hay, and 26 list farm supplies. Lowboys, hoppers and van trailers are all trucks we buy, so tell us which trailer the tractor usually pulls.

That federal census also records 144 intrastate operators, 42 interstate operators and 102 private fleets. A private fleet truck usually carries a company’s own goods, so if yours was registered that way, tell us what it hauled and keep the registration card with the title.

Local carrier filings with FMCSA show 416 drivers working within 100 miles and 177 beyond it, and a median of 15,000 miles per truck across the 43 carriers that reported mileage. Whether your rig stays close to Weld County or crosses state lines, a current odometer photo answers the first question we ask.

FMCSA’s census records 12 carriers starting up here in 2025 and 10 in 2024. On those same FMCSA registrations, the top three local fleets run 53, 27 and 25 power units; owners letting several units go at once can send the VINs in a single list.

Inspection-lane model years for Weld County rigs based here

Across 83 trucks from Johnstown stopped for checks from September 2024 to August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records show a 2015 median model year, with 53 percent at ten years or older.

Any model year in that spread is one we look at. Tell us the year, make and engine, and attach a photo of the door-jamb sticker so the build details line up with the title.

Contractor lots, cattle and corn around Johnstown

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 6,674 jobs in Johnstown, with 632 in construction, 549 in wholesale trade, 448 in manufacturing, 328 in transportation and warehousing and 140 in mining, quarrying and oil and gas. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau show 65 construction establishments, and a dump truck or roll-off from one of those firms is usually collected straight from the contractor’s lot.

Weld County has 3,881 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle, milk and corn lead its output. Grain trucks, feed haulers and milk tankers often sit at the farm between seasons; give us the farm road address and a phone number for whoever will be on site.

No low spans between your yard and the highway

None of Johnstown’s 21 bridges carries a load posting or sits below 14 feet, going by the Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory.

So a tall reefer, a loaded lowboy or a tractor with a sleeper can be picked up from a yard anywhere in town without a detour around a low span. Just tell us whether the truck is blocked in by other equipment.

The questions we get asked in Johnstown

  • Our end-dump never leaves the DENM pit east of Johnstown; can it be collected right there?Pits such as Green/Croissant, 5.1 miles north-west, and DENM, 5.2 miles east, appear on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from sites like those. Tell us whose ground it is on so the gate can be opened.
  • Would you buy a hopper that hauls Weld County corn and cattle feed?Of Johnstown’s 186 carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, 27 list grain, feed and hay and 26 list farm supplies, and those trucks are ones we buy. Have the title and registration ready, and photos of the box or hopper.
  • Does a 2014 tractor from a Johnstown yard still qualify?FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year of Johnstown trucks at 2015, and model years on either side of that are welcome here. Include the door-jamb sticker photo with the VIN so the year on the title matches.
