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

Mine Safety and Health Administration records place two crushed-stone quarries about 13 miles west of Gainesville: Newberry Limestone at 12.7 miles and Newberry Mine - Limestone Materials at 13.7 miles. A dump truck or end-dump tractor that hauls rock out of Newberry can be collected at the yard where it parks between loads. Give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.

To the south, Ocala Quarry is an industrial-mineral mine 22 miles out, and the Goldhead Sand Plant, a sand and gravel operation, lies 24.9 miles east, both per the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck has worked aggregate runs to either one, have the title, the current registration and a few photos of the body and chassis ready before you call.

Out of 568 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census with a Gainesville address, 332 put general freight on their cargo list. Box trucks and dry-van tractors from that work are the bulk of what sellers here bring us; send the VIN with your first message so we can match the truck’s specification.

Of those same Gainesville carriers, 109 haul logs, poles, beams and lumber according to FMCSA’s carrier census, 85 move motor vehicles and 84 carry machinery and large objects. Log trucks, car haulers and lowboy tractors are all welcome. For a car hauler or lowboy, tell us whether the trailer is part of the sale or stays with you.

Gainesville added 51 carriers in 2024 and another 46 in 2025, going by FMCSA’s carrier census. If you started a small operation in one of those years and are now selling the truck, a single-truck owner sells to us the same way a fleet does, with the title in the name on the registration.

In FMCSA’s carrier census, 422 Gainesville carriers operate intrastate only, 144 run interstate, and 190 are private fleets moving their own goods. A truck from an in-state or private fleet often carries a Florida-only history, so keep its service records and registration together for the sale.

Drivers working within 100 miles number 1,233 against 670 who go farther, per FMCSA’s carrier census, and across 81 carriers reporting mileage the median is 28,787 miles a truck each year. Note the odometer reading when you photograph the dashboard, since it is the first figure we ask for.

At the top end, FMCSA’s carrier census shows one Gainesville fleet with 143 power units and two with 51 each. If you are retiring several trucks from a fleet of that size, list each VIN and where each unit is parked, and we can plan one collection trip rather than several.

FMCSA roadside inspection records from 2024-09-03 to 2026-08-26 cover 198 trucks from Gainesville carriers, with a median model year of 2018 and 34.9% of them ten or more years old. Whatever the model year of yours, the paperwork we need is the same: title, registration and photos.

If the title has been lost, the state’s title agency in Florida issues a duplicate to the owner on record. Start that request before you contact us, and tell us it is under way so the paperwork and the collection line up.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 97,929 jobs in Gainesville, including 3,002 in construction, 2,216 in manufacturing, 1,762 in wholesale trade and 1,380 in transportation and warehousing. County Business Patterns, also from the Census Bureau, lists 351 construction establishments and 5 warehousing ones. Dump trucks, flatbeds and service bodies from contractors’ yards fit what we collect.

Alachua County has 1,712 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with cattle, propagative material and corn at the top. A cattle hauler or farm straight truck can be collected from the farm itself; send directions to the barn or shed where it sits.

The National Bridge Inventory lists 30 bridges in Gainesville and none of them is load-posted or under 14 feet of clearance. A tall or heavy truck can reach a pickup point in town without a detour around a low or restricted crossing.

• My dump truck stays at a yard by the Newberry quarries, so does it have to come into Gainesville first?Your rock truck can wait where it parks between quarry loads. The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Newberry limestone quarries 12.7 and 13.7 miles west of the city, and we collect from the yard where the truck sits. Give us the address and a contact for the gate.
• I haul lumber out of Alachua County; will you take my log truck from Gainesville?Log trucks from Gainesville are on our list. FMCSA’s carrier census lists 109 Gainesville carriers hauling logs, poles, beams and lumber, and their trucks are part of what we collect. Have the title and photos of the tractor and any log trailer included in the sale.
• My cattle trailer and truck sit on a farm outside town. Can you come to the farm?We can, and we do. USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 1,712 farms in Alachua County with cattle the top commodity, and we collect trucks from farms as well as yards. Send directions to the spot where the truck is parked.
