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

Among Trinidad’s 131 active carriers, general freight (54) and machinery or large objects (53) sit almost level on FMCSA’s carrier census. If yours is a lowboy tractor or a flatbed rig that moved equipment, send photos of the deck, the tractor’s frame and the cab, plus the VIN, so we know exactly which setup we are collecting.

Motor vehicles appear on 26 carrier registrations and oilfield equipment on 22, according to the same federal carrier census. Car haulers and oilfield trucks sell the same way as any tractor here: have the title in your name, a current registration card and whatever service records you kept, and we handle the rest from the Trinidad address where it sits.

Ninety-nine of the 131 Trinidad carriers are intrastate and 32 interstate in FMCSA’s carrier census, which also counts 79 private fleets. A private-fleet truck owned by a ranch or a contractor is still a commercial vehicle we buy; the owner named on the title signs it over, so check that name matches the business or person selling.

Driver records in the FMCSA census put 359 drivers working within 100 miles and 121 working beyond that radius. Tell us whether your truck stayed around Las Animas County or ran long routes, and give us the yard or ranch where it parks now; we collect it there.

The largest Trinidad fleet in FMCSA’s carrier census runs 52 power units and 80 drivers, the next 30 power units with 14 drivers, and a third 17 units with 13 drivers. A fleet manager selling several units can send one list of VINs with each truck’s title status, and we set up a single collection at the yard.

In 2024, 11 new carriers registered here, and 3 more in 2025, per FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started a trucking business recently and are now selling the truck, bring the title or, if a lender still holds it, the lender’s name and contact so the lien release can be arranged before collection.

Across 29 carriers that report mileage, the FMCSA census gives a median of 11,500 miles per truck a year. Read the odometer on the day you contact us and include a dashboard photo, so the figure we work from is the one on your truck.

Just 0.8 miles west of downtown Trinidad, the town’s rail yard appears on the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A truck parked near the yard is easy for us to reach; just tell us the street or lot and who can let us in if it is behind a gate.

Leone Gravel Pit, a sand and gravel operation 7.4 miles east of Trinidad on Mine Safety and Health Administration records, is the kind of site where dump trucks and end-dump rigs spend their working days. If your truck is still on a pit or quarry property, get the site operator’s permission for a pickup and send us the gate directions.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts record 3,367 jobs in Trinidad in 2023, with construction at 123 of them, or 3.7 percent. Contractors selling a dump truck, water truck or flatbed should list any body or equipment mounted on the chassis, since we assess the truck and what is bolted to it together.

Wholesale trade accounts for 51 jobs and manufacturing for 50, each 1.5 percent of the town total in those LEHD figures. Box trucks and straight trucks from those businesses belong on the list we buy; have the registration and a few photos of the cargo body ready when you get in touch.

Cattle top the livestock on Las Animas County’s 485 farms, ahead of horses and goats, in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture. A livestock hauler or ranch truck parked out on county land can stay there; send us the ranch address, any directions past the last paved road, and the name on the title.

• My truck is parked on a ranch out past Trinidad; must it come into town first?Las Animas County has 485 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and plenty of trucks here park on that ranch land, so we collect where the truck is. Give us the ranch address and directions, and make sure someone can open the gate.
• Would you take a rig that hauled oilfield equipment around Trinidad?Oilfield equipment appears on 22 Trinidad carrier registrations in FMCSA’s carrier census, and those tractors and specialised rigs are trucks we buy. Send the VIN, photos of any mounted equipment and the title.
• The Colorado title for my Trinidad truck is missing; how do I sell it?A Colorado truck changes hands on its Colorado title, so a missing one is replaced through the state’s title agency before the sale closes. Start that request, tell us it is under way, and send the VIN and registration in the meantime.
• Our Trinidad yard has a handful of units to let go; can they be sold as one batch?FMCSA’s carrier census lists Trinidad fleets of 52, 30 and 17 power units, and multiple units from one yard can go together. Send one list of VINs with each title’s status and the yard address.
