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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two sand and gravel operations, CR9 and CR10, both 1.6 miles north-east of Redlands. A dump truck or end-dump trailer that cycles between those pits and Mesa County job sites is often parked at the pit yard rather than at home, so give us the gate address and the name of whoever holds the key.

With both pits that close, a seller here may have a truck that never leaves a short loop around town. Photograph the bed, the hoist, the cab interior and the VIN plate in daylight, and send the registration with them so the paperwork and the pictures describe the same unit.

Two rail yards appear on the North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: GRAND JUNCTION at 4.6 miles east of Redlands and EAST YARD at 6.7 miles east. A tractor that shuttles freight to those yards can be collected at the yard lot, a shop or a driveway in Redlands; tell us which one and whether a loaded trailer is still hooked up.

Petroleum product terminals bracket the town according to the Energy Information Administration, with GRAND JCT PLANT 5 miles east and FRUITA 5.2 miles north-west. If your tractor pulled a fuel tanker between those two sites, keep any hazmat endorsement paperwork, tank inspection certificates and the trailer’s own title together. Tell us whether the tanker is part of the sale or stays with you.

Of the 12 Redlands carriers active on FMCSA’s carrier census, 10 haul for the business that owns the truck, not for outside customers. A contractor’s flatbed or a landscaper’s tandem dump is the usual sale here, and the title is often in the business name, so have the person authorised to sign for that business available when we collect.

Only one of those 12 carriers runs interstate, while 11 stay intrastate, per the same federal census. Colorado plates and a Colorado title are therefore what we expect to see on most Redlands trucks; if yours carries IRP apportioned plates from that one interstate operation, bring the cab card along with the title.

Two of the fleets on the FMCSA census list 4 power units each and a third lists 3, which means a Redlands seller may be letting go of half a small fleet at once. Send one VIN per truck and a photo set for each, and we can arrange collection of the whole group from one address.

General freight is the cargo listed by 10 of the 12 carriers on FMCSA’s census, with machinery and large objects named by 4. A lowboy or a beavertail that has moved excavators around Mesa County should come with its axle rating on the registration and photos of the deck and ramps.

Three Redlands carriers report hauling garbage, refuse and trash, and another three carry logs, poles, beams and lumber, by FMCSA’s own cargo categories. A roll-off, a rear loader or a log truck each has its body or bunks as part of the sale, so tell us whether the body stays on the chassis and send a picture of its data plate.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts show 691 jobs in Redlands in 2023, with construction holding 134 of them, or 19.4 percent, and wholesale trade 74, or 10.7 percent. Builders are well represented too: the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns puts 51 construction establishments in Redlands. Many of those firms own a dump truck, a water truck or a crew-cab hauler, and a firm that is selling one should send the title, the registration and the last service invoice it has on file.

Mesa County had 2,353 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, corn and sheep at the top of its list. A livestock hauler or a grain truck that came off one of those farms may be stored in a barn or a field near Redlands; a pin dropped on a map and a note on gate access gets us to it.

Seventeen drivers from Redlands carriers work within 100 miles and six go beyond, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If your truck is out on a run beyond that radius when you decide to sell, tell us where it will be parked and we will collect it there.

In force on the Colorado Secretary of State’s code, under the Air Quality Control Commission, is the Advanced Clean Trucks Rule within the state’s Clean Cars and Trucks Regulation. Those rules govern what manufacturers sell into the state; they do not stop a Redlands owner from selling a truck already registered here, so have the title and registration ready as you would for any sale.

The Heavy-Duty Low NOx Rule, from the same regulation, is also in force according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s published code. If your engine carries an emissions label, include a photo of it with the others so the engine family is on record from the start.

• Could you pick up my dump truck from the gravel pit north-east of Redlands where it sits?The pit sits 1.6 miles north-east of Redlands on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from pit yards like it. Name the pit’s gatekeeper and its opening days so the visit lines up with them.
• Which person signs when the Redlands truck is titled to my contracting business?Ten of the 12 Redlands carriers on FMCSA’s census run private fleets, so business-titled trucks are common here. The officer or owner named on the company’s records signs the title, and we bring the paperwork to them.
• I have a fuel tanker trailer that worked the Fruita terminal. Would that tanker trailer be bought along with my tractor?The Energy Information Administration places the FRUITA petroleum terminal 5.2 miles north-west of Redlands, and tank trailers from that run are part of what we purchase. Send the trailer’s title and its latest tank inspection certificate with the tractor’s paperwork.
• I want to sell two trucks from my small fleet. Is one collection possible for both of my Redlands trucks?Fleets on FMCSA’s Redlands census run three or four power units, so selling two at once is a familiar request. Send each VIN and photo set, and give us the yard address where both are parked.
