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

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Miami Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, 0.9 miles north of Sweetwater, and the Miami Cement Plant 2.1 miles to the west. A dump truck or mixer that shuttles between those two sites may be parked on a quarry lot rather than at a home address, so send us the gate location and the name of whoever can let us in.

Farther north, Pennsuco Cement Plant and Pennsuco Quarry both sit 6.5 miles out, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. If your truck carried aggregate or cement from Pennsuco, keep the scale tickets or site passes with the title; they let us confirm which yard the truck worked without asking you to dig through old emails.

Epic Stoneworks, a dimension-stone quarry that MSHA places 4.4 miles east of town, cuts slab and block rather than gravel. Flatbeds and boom trucks used for that kind of load are on the list of what we buy, and a photo of the deck, the cab and the VIN plate is the most useful thing to send first.

On the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Florida East Coast yard at Hialeah lies 5.5 miles north-east of Sweetwater. A day cab that drays boxes off that yard can be collected from the drop lot where it sits; tell us the street and the hours the lot is open.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics also places the Miami intermodal ramp 6 miles north-east and the Norfolk Southern TBT liquid bulk terminal 8.8 miles east. Tractors that have pulled containers off the ramp or tankers out of that terminal qualify, and the registration plus any terminal access card you kept help us match the truck to its route.

Thirteen active carriers are based in Sweetwater, per FMCSA’s carrier census, and seven of them list general freight as a cargo. Two more each list refrigerated food, meat and paper products, so reefer tractors and box trucks with insulated bodies are as likely here as dry vans.

Twelve of those thirteen run intrastate only, while one crosses state lines and two operate as private fleets, the federal carrier census shows. A truck that has stayed inside Florida its whole working life will usually be parked within reach of Sweetwater, which keeps collection simple.

Fleets here are small: the federal motor carrier registry shows one outfit with five power units and five drivers, one with three of each and one with two. If you are an owner-operator or a two-truck shop selling one unit, have the title in the name on the USDOT registration so the paperwork lines up.

Transportation and warehousing accounted for 4,752 of the 18,273 jobs located in Sweetwater in 2023, or 26 percent, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts. Box trucks and straight trucks that move goods between those warehouses are among what we buy, and a set of service receipts saves us a round of questions.

Wholesale trade added 1,917 jobs and construction 1,163, the same LEHD figures show, with manufacturing at 265. A contractor’s flatbed or a distributor’s delivery truck from either line of work can be sold here; tell us whether it carries a liftgate, a crane or a special body so we know what to look for when we arrive.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 2,664 farms in Miami-Dade County, with foliage plants, potted flowering plants and cut flowers with cultivated greens as the top products. Nursery trucks with climate-controlled boxes that serve those growers are trucks we purchase.

If your nursery truck sits on a growing operation outside town, give us the farm address and a note about the gate or access road. Send the title, the current registration and photos of the box interior along with the cab.

Sweetwater is a city of 20,085 people, per the Census Bureau, in Miami-Dade County, and most trucks we collect here sit at a yard, a quarry lot or a driveway in town. Have the title, the registration and the keys together, and tell us whether anyone else holds a lien on the truck.

If the title has gone missing, say so when you first contact us about the Sweetwater truck. We will walk you through getting a replacement title from the state.

• Can my dump truck stay on the Miami Quarry lot for collection?Miami Quarry is 0.9 miles north of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s listing, and we collect from there; give us the site contact who can open the gate.
• Do you buy reefer trucks from food haulers in Sweetwater?Two Sweetwater carriers list refrigerated food and two list meat in FMCSA’s carrier census, and reefer tractors and insulated box trucks like theirs are on our list; send photos of the reefer unit and the cab.
• Will you take a single Florida-only rig from a Sweetwater owner-operator?Twelve of the thirteen Sweetwater carriers in FMCSA’s carrier census run intrastate only, so a single Florida-only truck is the usual case here; have the title and registration ready.
• Can you collect a container tractor parked near the Hialeah rail yard?The Florida East Coast yard at Hialeah is 5.5 miles north-east of Sweetwater on the North American Rail Network, and we pick up from drop lots near it; tell us the lot’s address and opening hours.
