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

Of the 154 active Lafayette carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census, just 20 are cleared to cross state lines while 134 keep their freight inside Colorado. If your tractor or straight truck has spent its working life on Front Range runs, it is probably parked close to home, and that is where we would arrange to load it.

Of those Lafayette carriers, 108 are private fleets, according to the same FMCSA census, meaning a business moving its own goods rather than hauling for hire. When a company truck from one of those operations is sold, have the title in the business name ready along with whoever is authorised to sign for it, so the paperwork matches the registration.

Lafayette carriers employ 593 drivers who stay within 100 miles of base and 235 who go beyond it, by FMCSA’s census figures. Tell us which kind of work your truck did; a local day cab and a sleeper that ran longer routes call for different photos, and knowing which one you have shapes what we ask for.

General freight is the commonest cargo declared by Lafayette carriers in FMCSA’s census, listed by 60 of them, with machinery and large objects next at 32. Box trucks, dry vans and lowboy or step-deck rigs all fit that mix; send photos of the body or trailer deck along with the cab so we know exactly which setup we are looking at.

Twenty Lafayette carriers declare logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 17 declare metal sheets, coils and rolls, per the FMCSA carrier census. Flatbeds and the tractors that pull them come out of that work. If the trailer is part of the sale, give us its VIN and title separately from the tractor’s; the tractor and the trailer each transfer on their own paperwork.

The FMCSA census also tracks new registrations: 8 carriers started up in Lafayette in 2024 and 5 more in 2025. Newer operations often bought a single truck on finance, so if a lender still holds the title, tell us the lender’s name at the start and we will work the payoff paperwork into the collection.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Nelson Mining Resource, a sand and gravel operation, 7.1 miles north-east of Lafayette. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that have worked a pit like that are trucks we buy; if yours is still parked on the site, give us the gate contact and the hours the yard is open.

Ten miles south-west, MSHA records two more: the Church Harvey Mine, an industrial-mineral mine, and the Jeffco Gravel Mine, both 10.1 miles out. A truck that worked either one does not have to be moved off the property before we come for it. Tell us whether a loaded truck can reach it and where on the site it sits.

Eleven miles north, the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the Longmont rail yard. To the south-east, BTS lists the Denver Irondale intermodal ramp at 14.7 miles, so a day cab that shuttled containers between that ramp and Boulder County shippers sits within an easy reach of us.

Fuel moves through two petroleum product terminals on the Energy Information Administration’s list, Denver at 14.2 miles and Dupont at 14.8 miles, both south-east of Lafayette. A liquid bulk terminal sits 14.1 miles out in the same direction, on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics list. If your tractor pulled tank trailers out of those terminals, say which product it hauled and send any hazmat or tank inspection records you kept.

LEHD job counts from the Census Bureau put 15,372 jobs in Lafayette in 2023, with 1,385 in manufacturing, 1,164 in wholesale trade and 685 in construction. On the contractor side, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns tallies 99 construction establishments for Lafayette. Stake beds, flatbeds, dump trucks and box trucks are what work like that keeps on the road, and a business selling one should have the registration and the company signer ready.

Boulder County holds 826 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with corn, cattle and horses as the top products. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and the pickups-and-trailers end of farm work are all trucks we collect, from the farmyard where they are parked; a farm truck with ag plates still needs the title in hand.

FMCSA roadside inspection records cover 108 Lafayette-based trucks inspected between August 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2016 and 49.1 percent of them ten or more model years old. Whatever year yours is, have the VIN, the odometer reading and any service records you have, and send them with the photos.

Three Lafayette fleets registered with FMCSA run 143, 130 and 46 power units, with 125, 220 and 44 drivers respectively. For a fleet selling several trucks at once, a list of units with VINs and where each one is parked lets us plan the collections as one job instead of many.

Among the 33 Lafayette carriers that report mileage in FMCSA’s census, the median is 9,719 miles per truck a year. Colorado’s Advanced Clean Trucks Rule and Heavy-Duty Low NOx Rule are both in force in the state, so keep the engine label and emissions paperwork with the truck when you hand it over.

• My dump truck is still at a gravel pit north-east of Lafayette. Does it have to come off the pit first?Nelson Mining Resource, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 7.1 miles north-east of town, is the kind of site we collect from directly. Give us the gate contact and where the truck is parked on the property.
• My Lafayette business hauls only its own goods. Are its trucks something you buy?Private fleets make up 108 of the 154 active Lafayette carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, and their trucks are ones we buy. Have the titles in the company name and a person authorised to sign them.
• My flatbed hauled lumber and steel coil. Can the lumber trailer go with the tractor?Lumber and metal coil are declared by 20 and 17 Lafayette carriers in FMCSA’s census, so flatbed setups are common here. We take the tractor, the trailer or both; each needs its own title and VIN.
• Which model years will you buy from a Lafayette owner?Lafayette’s inspected trucks have a median model year of 2016 in FMCSA roadside inspection records, and nearly half are ten or more years old. Any model year is fine; include the VIN and the odometer reading with your photos.
