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

Gravel crews west and south of Star

Portable Crusher #2, a sand and gravel operation listed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, works about 6.2 miles west of Star. Dump trucks and end-dump tractors that feed a crusher like that often sit at the pit between jobs, so tell us whether yours is parked on site and who can let us through the gate.

Dixie River Pit lies roughly 7.9 miles south of town on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list. If your truck hauled out of Dixie River, photograph the bed, the hoist and the cab from both sides, and have the title and current registration together before you call.

Twelve miles north, the Emmett Plant appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as a mineral processing plant. A truck that ran the Emmett road can stay up near Emmett; give us the address and a phone number for whoever holds the keys.

Nampa’s rail yard and the Boise fuel terminals

About 8.9 miles south-west, the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the NAMPA rail yard. Tractors that shuttle loads to and from that yard can be collected wherever they are parked between Star and Nampa, so send the VIN first and the location second.

The Energy Information Administration lists two petroleum product terminals at Boise, 13.4 miles east of Star. If your tractor pulled a fuel tank trailer out of those terminals, keep any tank inspection or service records with the truck; they answer questions photos cannot.

Star’s sixty carriers: freight, produce, machinery

FMCSA’s carrier census counts 60 active carriers based in Star, 30 of them running interstate and 30 staying inside Idaho, with 28 registered as private fleets. Whether your authority covers one state or many, the paperwork we ask for is the same: title, registration and a clear set of photos.

General freight is the cargo listed by 40 of those carriers in the FMCSA census, with machinery and large objects at 14, fresh produce at 11 and refrigerated food at 10. A reefer unit that hauled produce out of the valley comes with a trailer question too, so tell us whether the reefer goes with the tractor or stays with you.

New authorities keep appearing: FMCSA’s census shows 9 carriers registering in Star in 2025 and 5 in 2024. If you started a one-truck operation recently and are now closing it, have your USDOT number handy alongside the title so the truck’s records line up.

Small fleets and shorter runs

The FMCSA carrier census lists fleets in Star of 11 power units with 11 drivers, 10 power units with 20 drivers, and 9 power units with 24 drivers. Selling several trucks at once works the same way as selling one; list each VIN and where each truck is parked, and we plan the collection around that list.

Among Star carriers, 152 drivers work within 100 miles and 82 go beyond it, per the FMCSA census. Across the 19 carriers that report mileage, the median comes to 21,375 miles per truck in that same census. Write the current odometer reading on the list with the VIN so we start from the right figures.

Star tractors pulled in for roadside inspection, by model year

Star carriers had 39 trucks pass through FMCSA roadside inspection records from September 2024 to August 2026, and the median model year among them was 2019. Read the model year off the title or registration and include it with your first message.

In those same roadside inspection records, about 25.6 percent of the Star trucks inspected were ten or more model years old. Older or newer, we ask for the same things: the VIN, the title in your name, and photos of the cab, frame and tires.

Builders in Star, dairies across Ada County

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts put 2,091 jobs in Star for 2023, with construction at 241, or 11.5 percent, and manufacturing at 57. For the contractors behind those jobs, 81 construction establishments show up in Star under the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns. If your truck worked for a builder here and the title is in a company name, have whoever signs for the company ready to sign the title.

Ada County holds 1,142 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with milk, cattle and corn at the top of the list. A milk tanker or cattle hauler parked at a dairy or feedlot can be collected right there; tell us the farm’s address and when someone will be on hand.

The questions we get asked in Star

  • Does my end-dump have to leave the Dixie River pit before you take it?Dixie River Pit, which the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 7.9 miles south of Star, is the sort of site we collect from. Give us the pit’s name, the gate contact and the hours the site is open.
  • I hauled fuel from the Boise terminals but live in Star now. Where does the tractor need to be?The Boise terminals the Energy Information Administration lists sit 13.4 miles east of Star, and the tractor can stay wherever it is parked between there and town. Pass along the yard’s street address together with the VIN.
  • The title for my Star tractor is in my company’s name, not mine; whose signature goes on it?Of the 60 active carriers FMCSA’s census lists in Star, 28 are private fleets, and company-titled trucks are common here. Bring the title, the registration and the signature of whoever is authorised to sign for the company.
