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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Spec Agg Quarry 4.8 miles west of Lakewood and Amrize Morrison Quarry 5.9 miles to the south-west. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls aggregate out of either pit may well be parked near the scale house when you call, so tell us which site it sits at and who holds the gate key.

Mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction accounted for 202 Lakewood jobs in 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. If your truck is one of the few working these foothill pits, have the title, the current Colorado registration and a set of photos showing the bed, the cab and the VIN plate ready before we talk.

Construction held 4,945 jobs in Lakewood in 2023, or 5.1 percent of the 96,160 counted by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Mixers, flatbeds, roll-offs and dump trucks on those crews often sit at a job trailer or a contractor’s yard rather than a driveway; give us that address and we arrange collection there.

Jefferson County holds 507 construction firms on the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, many of them running a handful of trucks apiece. When a contractor sells one unit out of several, the paperwork that settles things is the title in the company’s name and a letter or signature from whoever is authorised to sign for that business.

Federal carrier records put 170 Lakewood-based carriers in machinery and large-object hauling, and FMCSA’s carrier census shows 104 more moving logs, poles, beams and lumber. Lowboys, step-decks and lumber flatbeds fall in that group; send a photo of the deck and the trailer plate along with the tractor.

There are 898 active carriers based in Lakewood on FMCSA’s carrier census, and 800 of them are intrastate operators against 98 running interstate. The same census counts 532 private fleets hauling their own goods; if your truck is one of those, the title may carry a business owner’s name rather than a trucking company’s.

General freight is the cargo listed by 340 of those carriers, and refuse, garbage and trash by 112, the FMCSA census shows. Packer bodies and roll-off hoists are trucks we purchase too; for a refuse truck, include the body make and a photo of the hopper or hoist.

Registrations kept arriving: 47 new carriers in 2024 and 50 in 2025, by FMCSA’s count. A truck bought for a newer operation still needs a clean title transfer, and if yours has gone missing, ask the state’s title office for a duplicate before we schedule collection.

Lakewood carriers report 2,460 drivers working within 100 miles and 635 going farther, in FMCSA’s carrier census. Most of these trucks come home each night, so the likely pickup spot is a home yard in town, not a truck stop on a distant interstate.

Among 94 carriers reporting mileage, the median truck covered 10,000 miles a year according to FMCSA’s census filings. Have the odometer reading and the VIN to hand when you contact us; those two figures start every conversation.

Between September 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 197 trucks from Lakewood carriers; those FMCSA roadside inspection records give a median model year of 2018, with 40.1 percent at ten years or older. Whatever year yours is, send the service records you have along with the photos.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places the North yard 8.5 miles and the 31st Street yard 8.6 miles north-east of Lakewood. Drayage tractors and day cabs that shuttle between those yards can be collected where they are parked; just tell us the lot and the contact on site.

Two intermodal ramps, Denver - Irondale at 9.4 miles and Denver at 9.7 miles, appear in Bureau of Transportation Statistics listings. A container chassis tractor that works those ramps sells the same way as any other: title, registration and photos of the fifth wheel and cab.

At 9.4 miles north-east, the Energy Information Administration lists a petroleum product terminal run by the roofing and asphalt division of Owens Corning. If your tanker or asphalt hauler loads there, note which terminal it served when you write to us.

The National Bridge Inventory counts 55 bridges in Lakewood, with none load-posted and none under 14 feet of clearance. A tall or heavy truck can usually be reached for collection without a detour around a restricted span.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Elmer E Fryar USARC, a military installation 1.8 miles north of the city. If your truck is parked near the base, check whether visitors can reach it before you give us the address.

Colorado’s Air Quality Control Commission lists the Advanced Clean Trucks Rule and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Rule as in force under its Clean Cars and Trucks Regulation. Selling a diesel truck here still comes down to a signed title and the registration in the seller’s name.

• The title is in my landscaping company’s name rather than mine; who signs when it sells?FMCSA’s carrier census lists 532 private fleets in Lakewood, so a company-titled truck is nothing unusual here. An officer or owner with signing authority for the landscaping company puts their name on the title.
• Jefferson County has horse and cattle operations. Do you buy farm trucks?Cattle, potted flowering plants and horses top the list for Jefferson County’s 531 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. Livestock haulers and farm flatbeds from those places are trucks we purchase; send the title and photos.
