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

Private fleets make up 364 of the 513 active Montrose carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census, meaning most haul their own goods and not freight for hire. If your truck belongs to a ranch, a contractor or a supply business instead of a trucking company, that is the usual setup here, and the title in the business name is what we need to see.

Only 68 Montrose carriers are cleared to cross state lines, while FMCSA’s census records 445 that keep their loads inside Colorado. A truck that has stayed inside Colorado will usually be parked within reach of town, so send the street address or the yard location with your first message and we plan the collection around it.

Fleet sizes in the federal carrier census run up to 89 power units and 115 drivers for the biggest operation registered here, then 63 units and 43 units for the next two. Whether you are selling one pickup-and-trailer rig or several tractors from a yard, list each unit’s VIN and whose name is on each title so every truck is handled in the same pickup.

General freight is the most common cargo line in FMCSA’s census for Montrose carriers at 169, with machinery and large objects close behind at 154. A lowboy tractor or a heavy-haul unit that moved equipment around the valley fits what we buy, so tell us the trailer type it pulled and the axle setup on the tractor.

Logs, poles, beams and lumber appear on 102 Montrose carrier registrations in the FMCSA census, and farm supplies on 70. For a log truck or a flatbed that worked timber, send photos of the bunks, the stakes and the deck alongside the cab.

Driver records filed with FMCSA put 1,187 Montrose drivers working within 100 miles of base and 603 going beyond that. Among the 87 carriers that reported mileage to FMCSA, the median truck covered 10,000 miles a year, so have the current odometer reading ready along with the VIN when you get in touch.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists a sand and gravel operation called PORTABLE 2 about 4 miles west of Montrose and Western Gravel Inc. about 4.1 miles to the north-west. Dump trucks and end dumps that haul from pits like these can be collected at the pit or the contractor’s yard; just tell us which gate to use and who can let us in.

Farther out, about 23.7 miles north-west, Colorado Lime Company runs a dimension-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck is parked at a quarry site that far from town, give us the site contact and directions, and keep the registration and any service records with the truck for the day of collection.

Construction employs 967 people working in Montrose under the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, 7.7 percent of the 12,499 jobs there. County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau count 233 construction establishments, so a contractor with a dump truck or a water truck tied up in a finished job can send photos and the title from the office.

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, places MONTROSE YARD about 1.4 miles north-west of the city centre. A tractor that shuttled loads to and from the yard is likely parked close by, so tell us whether it sits on a public street or inside a fenced lot.

Another rail yard, DELTA, lies about 21.9 miles north-west on that same North American Rail Network map. If you have moved to Delta or beyond and the truck is still in Montrose, it can stay where it is; give us the address and the name of whoever holds the keys.

Montrose County had 1,050 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and sheep at the top of the county’s list. Cattle haulers, grain trucks and feed trucks from those operations are on our list, and a farm truck parked in a barn lot or field is collected there.

When a farm truck has sat titled to a parent or an old partnership, check the name on the title before you contact us. If that title is lost, the state’s title agency issues a replacement, and the ranch’s registration papers help us confirm the truck is yours to sell.

Between August 2024 and August 2026, inspectors stopped 198 trucks based in Montrose, and in those FMCSA roadside inspection records the median model year is 2016.5, with 46.97 percent at ten model years or older. Older and newer units are both on our list; give us the model year from the title along with the VIN.

The Colorado Advanced Clean Trucks Rule and the Heavy-Duty Low NOx Rule are both in force under the state’s Clean Cars and Trucks Regulation. Selling a truck does not need any paperwork under either rule from you; the title, registration and photos are what we ask for.

Transportation and warehousing account for 466 jobs in Montrose in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LEHD job counts, and manufacturing for 812. A box truck or straight truck from one of those employers is something we buy, and a company seller should send the title along with a note naming who can sign for the business.

• Will you pick up a dump truck still sitting at a pit on the west side of Montrose?The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists sand and gravel operations about 4 and 4.1 miles west and north-west of town, and we come to the truck at the pit. Tell us the site contact and the gate, so the collection is arranged with them.
• Our ranch owns the truck instead of a hauling company; does that change how the sale works?In FMCSA’s carrier census, 364 of the 513 Montrose carriers are private fleets, so a ranch or contractor truck is ordinary here. Send the title in the ranch’s name and tell us who can sign for it.
• Where does a Montrose owner go to replace a missing truck title?Montrose County titles are issued through the state’s title agency, which is where a replacement comes from. Tell us when you contact us, and send the registration so we can match the VIN in the meantime.
• Do I need to deliver the truck to Montrose Yard or into town?Montrose Yard sits about 1.4 miles north-west of the city centre on the North American Rail Network, but the truck does not need to go there. We collect from wherever it is parked, whether that is a yard in town, a farm or a quarry site.
