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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists the Manko Co Sec 5 phosphate mine just 0.9 miles south-west of Hernando, close enough that a dump truck working it may be parked a short drive from town. If yours has hauled from that pit, tell us which gate or lot it sits behind and who holds the key, and we will arrange the collection with that person.

Two crushed-stone quarries appear on the Mine Safety and Health Administration register as well: Maylen Mine 8.8 miles south-west and Lecanto Mine 11.1 miles south-west. A tri-axle or end-dump that runs between those pits and Citrus County job sites is the kind of truck we buy. Photograph the bed, the frame rails and the cab from both sides, and send the VIN with the pictures.

Of the 63 Hernando carriers active on FMCSA’s census, just 10 hold interstate authority while the other 53 keep to in-state routes. Most of these trucks stay inside Florida, so the title and registration you hand over will usually be Florida documents; have both in one folder before we schedule anything.

Private fleets account for 33 of those 63 registrations in the federal carrier census, meaning a company hauling its own materials rather than freight for hire. If your truck belonged to a business like that, bring the paperwork that shows the company as owner, plus a signed authorisation from whoever can sell on its behalf.

According to FMCSA’s census, 8 new carriers registered here in 2025 after only 1 in 2024. A newly started operation selling a first truck needs the same things as an older one: the title in the owner’s name, current registration and any service invoices kept since purchase.

General freight is the most common cargo line, listed by 28 local carriers in FMCSA’s registrations, with machinery and large objects at 14 and motor vehicles at 13. A box truck, a lowboy tractor or a car hauler can all come from that mix, so name the body type in your first message to us.

Eleven Hernando carriers declare logs, poles, beams and lumber as cargo, per the federal carrier census. A log truck or a flatbed with stakes that worked Citrus County timber tracts may be parked at a landing out of town; send us a pin for the spot and tell us whether a tow truck can reach it on a dry road.

The three biggest fleets based here run 17, 10 and 9 power units, going by FMCSA’s carrier census, with 11, 10 and 6 drivers respectively. If you are selling several units from a fleet that size, list each truck’s VIN on one sheet so every title can be matched to the right vehicle.

Ten carriers report mileage to the FMCSA census, and their median comes to 16,250 miles per truck. Read the odometer on yours, write the figure down and photograph the dash so the number we see and the number you give us agree.

When officers stopped 31 Hernando-based trucks between March 2025 and August 2026, the median model year they wrote down was 2014, according to FMCSA roadside inspection records. Look up the model year on your registration card and give it to us with the make and model.

Those FMCSA inspection reports put 61 percent of the 31 Hernando units at a model year ten or more years back. Whatever year your truck is, send a recent inspection report along with the photos if you have one.

Construction accounts for 225 of Hernando’s 1,170 jobs in the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023, a 19.2 percent share, while manufacturing holds 62. For Hernando, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns roll lists 31 construction businesses. A dump truck, water truck or flatbed parked at a contractor’s yard can be collected there; just confirm the yard’s hours with us.

Cattle lead the livestock on Citrus County’s 602 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, ahead of horses and goats. A stock trailer tractor or a farm flatbed kept on pasture land can stay where it is; tell us the gate code or meet us at the fence line.

Twenty-two miles east, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the Wildwood rail yard. A tractor that shuttles loads to that yard and lives in Sumter County instead of Citrus can be picked up on that side of the line too.

• Can you collect a dump truck that sits by the Manko phosphate pit outside Hernando?The Mine Safety and Health Administration places the Manko Co Sec 5 mine 0.9 miles south-west of town, and we collect from there. Send the pit’s gate location and the phone number of the person who unlocks it.
• My Citrus County truck’s title has gone missing - who issues a duplicate?Florida titles come from the state’s title agency, so a duplicate is requested through Florida’s motor vehicle office rather than through us. Start that request and tell us when you contact us; we can talk about the truck while the duplicate is on its way.
• Do you buy log trucks and lowboys from small Hernando outfits?Eleven local carriers haul logs and lumber and 14 haul machinery, by FMCSA’s carrier census, and those are trucks we buy. Send the VIN, the model year and photos of the cab, frame and deck.
