Sell your semi truck for cash in St. Maries the easy and convenient way

St. Maries sits in Benewah County with two rail yards and a gravel pit all inside a mile of town, and the trucks registered here mostly haul logs, poles, beams and lumber. If one of those log trucks, lowboys or general freight tractors is yours to sell, here is what to have ready and where to sort out a missing title.

Selling a truck in St. Maries? Tell us about it and we'll take it from there.

Log haulers

Of the 166 active carriers FMCSA’s carrier census places in this Benewah County town, 111 list logs, poles, beams or lumber among the cargo they carry. A log truck sold out of St. Maries is usually parked at a home yard or a shop between hauls, so tell us the street address and whether a lowboy or a tow truck can reach it from the road.

General freight shows up on 50 local carrier registrations and machinery or large objects on 44, according to the same FMCSA census. A carrier can list more than one cargo type, so a single tractor here may have pulled a log trailer one season and a flatbed of equipment the next; say which trailers the truck has been coupled to when you write to us.

Farm supplies appear on 14 of the registrations in that FMCSA file. If your truck carried feed, seed or fertilizer, send a few photos of the cab, the frame and the fifth wheel along with the VIN.

Near the river yards

Two rail yards and a gravel pit inside a mile

The North American Rail Network, kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, shows the ST MARIES yard 0.4 miles north-west of town and a second yard, listed as ST MAIRES, 0.5 miles to the east. A truck that loads or drops at either yard can be picked up there if that is where it stands; give us the yard name and the gate you use.

Danielson Rock, a sand and gravel operation the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 0.7 miles west of St. Maries, is the closest pit to town. Dump trucks and end dumps that work an active pit are often kept on site, so check with the operator about access for a pickup and send us the contact name along with the VIN.

Plates and radius

Ninety-nine St. Maries carriers run intrastate only and 67 cross state lines, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, which also counts 63 private fleets hauling their own goods. An interstate truck may carry an apportioned plate and a fuel-tax account, so bring the cab card and any IFTA decals with the truck, and tell us if the account is still open.

The FMCSA file shows 246 drivers here working inside a hundred-mile radius and 90 who travel beyond it. For the 60 local carriers that reported mileage, the median truck covered 27,990 miles a year on those FMCSA figures; have the current odometer reading handy, since it is one of the first things we ask for.

St. Maries also has one fleet registered with 253 power units and 67 drivers, while the next two run 11 and 7 power units, per FMCSA’s census. Selling several units from one yard is straightforward: list each VIN with its title status and we will plan the collection as one job.

The 2012 median among inspected local trucks

Whatever year yours is, the year, make and model printed on the title are what we match against the truck itself, so check that the VIN plate and the paperwork agree.

Older or newer, the steps are the same: a signed title, the registration, and any service records you have kept in the cab or the shop office.

Mills and work sites

Mill payrolls and contractor yards in town

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 1,775 jobs in this river town in 2023, with 375 of them, or 21.1 percent, in manufacturing. Trucks that serve plants and mill yards in St. Maries are often parked inside a fenced lot; let us know who holds the gate key and when the lot is open.

Transportation and warehousing accounts for 167 local jobs, a 9.4 percent share, on those same LEHD figures, and County Business Patterns from the Census Bureau records 27 construction establishments. If your truck is a contractor’s dump or flatbed sitting on a job site, send the site address and photos taken where it stands.

Wheat, cattle and barley

Farm trucks out on the Benewah benches

Wheat, cattle and barley lead the list for the 240 farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts across Benewah County. A grain truck or cattle hauler that sits in a barn or field between seasons can be collected from the farm; give us directions from the nearest paved road.

On a Benewah wheat or cattle place, the Idaho title may carry a parent’s name or the farm partnership’s rather than yours. Check it before you contact us, and if the name is someone else’s, have that person ready to sign.

Seventh Street is where a missing Idaho title gets replaced

Idaho titles are issued by the Idaho Transportation Department and handled locally through county Assessor’s Office motor vehicle offices. Here that office is St. Maries – Vehicle Services, where a duplicate title can be requested if yours is lost. The Idaho Transportation Department lists it at 222 S 7th St #G07, ZIP 83861, 0.3 miles from the centre of town.

If a lender is still listed on the title, ask the lender for a lien release before you visit the Seventh Street office. Bring the release, your ID and the VIN, and the Assessor’s motor vehicle staff can tell you what else the Idaho Transportation Department needs for a replacement.
