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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration records Golden Gate Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 10.2 miles north-east of Lely. Tri-axle dumps and end-dump tractors that load rock there can stay parked at the quarry yard or at your shop when you sell; give us the address and the gate contact and we collect it from that spot.

If the dump body or a pup trailer goes with the sale, say so up front and photograph the bed, the hoist and the tailgate along with the cab and the VIN plate. A load ticket or a quarry gate pass in the cab is useful to show us what the truck hauled, though nothing like that is required.

Further along the same north-east bearing, 846 Mine LLC runs a sand and gravel operation 14.8 miles from Lely, according to Mine Safety and Health Administration listings. Fill and gravel trucks that shuttle between that pit and Collier County building sites are among the trucks we purchase.

A pit road is often where these trucks sit between jobs. Tell us whether a lowboy or rollback can reach the spot without help, and who on site can hand over the keys, and the pickup gets planned around that.

Construction holds 90 of the 848 jobs counted in Lely for 2023 by the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts (LODES), a 10.6 percent share. Contractors on that work run dump trucks, stake beds, box trucks and service bodies, and a one-truck owner sells to us the same way a contractor with several does.

When a contractor’s truck is registered to the business rather than to you, have the company officer who can sign the title on hand. Bring the registration, any service records from the shop that kept it, and clear photos of each side so the paperwork and the truck line up.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 330 farms in Collier County, with cattle, equine and honey at the head of the list. Cattle pots, stock trailers pulled by single-axle tractors, horse haulers and flatbeds carrying hive pallets all come out of that farm work.

Ranch trucks tend to stay on the property, sometimes well off a paved road. Send a pin or gate directions, note any trailer you are including, and photograph the hitch or fifth wheel as well as the cab.

Have the title in the name on the registration, signed where the state’s title agency asks for the seller. If a bank or finance company still holds a lien, give us the lender’s name and the account details so the payoff and the release are handled with the sale.

A title that has gone missing is replaced through the state’s title agency before the truck changes hands. Start the duplicate request as soon as you decide to sell, and tell us it is under way so we can schedule around it.

• Can my dump truck stay at Golden Gate Quarry while Lely paperwork gets done?Golden Gate Quarry sits 10.2 miles north-east of Lely in Mine Safety and Health Administration records, and the truck can stay there. Pass along who runs that quarry yard and when its gate opens.

Would that rig suit a sale from Lely?Cattle lead the list for Collier County’s 330 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and cattle haulers and stock trailers from those ranches are trucks we purchase. Photograph that cattle tractor and its trailer from each side and add the VIN.
• My Lely gravel truck’s title is lost; where does that leave the sale?A truck that hauled from the sand and gravel pit north-east of town or anywhere else in Collier County needs a title before it is sold, so request a duplicate from the state’s title agency. Tell us when the request is filed.
